Remember that ending scene out of Indiana Jones where the Ark of the Covenant is boxed up and wheeled through an endless government warehouse?

The Center of Military History at Ft. McNair consistently denies that it has the Roswell aliens and their space craft hidden in the third level sub-basement of its building. Thus I doubt they will admit to having the Ark of the Covenant at Ft. Belvoir.

I have nightmares this time of year, as my Garden Center receiving dock looks JUST LIKE THAT this time of year!

Indeed ...

We have the National Museum of the United States Air Force ...

More recently, we have the National Museum of the Marine Corps...

The article states that the Army is planning something similar to display this collection. 'Tis a worthy endeavor.

Of course they don't. The pickled aliens are under Hangar 18 at Wright-Patterson. That's why the Foreign Technology Division is located at WPAFB.

Not a single piece in this massive collection is open to the public. Why is it kept under lock and key in a blackened warehouse?

Simple answer: Because there is no museum to house it.

Bull. There's a number of museums in DC's Smithsonian complex. The collection could be rotated through there, a new set every month. It would probably draw lots of regular visitors.

The Army doesn't want to, because they want their own little empire.

Looking through the art work I was kinda let down. No poker playing dogs anywhere to be seen. LOL! Bitchin’ stuff though.
