In the contract agreement...the US Army authorized $750,000 (and up to $1 million over time if needed) to be spent for testing and evaluation of supposedly novel “metamaterials” that were provided to them by a very controversial company.
...
In 1996, Art Bell...received an anonymously mailed package that included a letter and a trove of metal parts and layered material which later became known as “Art’s Parts.” The appearance of the items sent to Art is not all that impressive, but the story accompanying them was certainly something.
The writer claimed that the items were from the Roswell, NM UFO crash of 1947. The sender maintained that they were retrieved by his Grandfather who was at the crash site. He states that there was a surviving alien who in English referred to the Earth as “Terra.” He further stated that the craft has a “dimensional power plant” onboard that has “self destructed” upon crashing. The man also informs that “the disc was a probeship dispatched from a launchship that was stationed at a dimensional gateway 32 light years away.” If this was not enough, he also claimed to have been friends with the first man on the moon, astronaut Neil Armstrong.
One type of these very-terrestrial-looking "pieces" have been shown to be comprised of 25 alternating layers of bismuth (a brittle crystalline white and pink-tinged metal) and alloyed magnesium / zinc. Technologist Nicholas Reiter, many years ago, found reference in the technical literature to the "Betterton-Kroll" process, an obscure process which uses layered bismuth and magnesium / zinc to extract impurities out of lead. The process results in a unique industrial "slag". Fortean Times magazine of the UK endorsed this prosaic conclusion in an authoritative piece published in 2016

Its not their money, they simply don’t care how its spent
I miss Art Bell.
$1 million to the government is like the change you find in the sofa cushions. They probably figured at that price, better to pay and risk getting scammed, then not pay and risk someone selling the genuine article to the Russians or the Chinese.
Everybody knows the UFO 🛸 was taken to Hangar 18.
Darren McGavin was there.
Probably
They paid almost a million before seeing it and verifying it?

Didn’t make vihicles invisible but it sure made taxpayer’s money disappear...
Wink, wink. They can't be that stupid, they keep cashing their paycheck's. /s
“I miss Art Bell.”
Me too. I listen to his old broadcasts. He got me through chemo. Up all night, sitting in a chair, puking my guts out listening to ART. Great times.
You talking about the headline?
It was all caps in the original. Do you think it should have been retyped without caps?
