What is Science?
Put most simply, science is a way of dealing with the world around us. It is a way of baffling the uninitiated with incomprehensible jargon. It is a way of obtaining fat government grants. It is a way of achieving mastery over the physical world by threatening it with destruction.
Science represents mankind's deepest aspirations - aspirations to power, to wealth, to the satisfaction of sheer animal lusts.
The cornerstone of modern science is the
scientific method. Scientists first formulate
hypotheses, or predictions, about nature. Then they perform
experiments to test their hypotheses.
There are two forms of scientific method, the
inductive and the
deductive.
Science for Everyone
Sound simple? It is.
Once, when the secrets of science were the jealously guarded property of a small priesthood, the common man had no hope of mastering their arcane complexities. Years of study in musty classrooms were prerequisite to obtaining even a dim, incoherent knowledge of science.
Today, all that has changed: a dim, incoherent knowledge of science is available to anyone. Popular science books, magazines and computer programs - with their simple, fatuous and misleading prose, their garish illustrations, their flimsy modern production values - have brought science within the reach of anyone who can afford their inflated prices or who can mooch off someone else.
Indeed, today a myriad of sources are available to explain science facts that
science itself has never dreamed of.
This web site is one of them.

Lets get to the X22A. Supposedly the plane or disc or saucer, whatever you want to call it, can shield itself from detection. It is supposed to be the stealthiest of crafts. It is said to be attached to a new military division known as the US Space Warfare Headquarters. A fleet of these crafts is supposed to be housed in Utah. Some even go so far as to state that they are beneath King's Peak of the Wasatch Mountains. This is important because saucers are always being sighted in this area and this could be the reason why. While this would be a disappointment to the ufo folks, it would be an incredible addition to the defensive forces of our country. It is possible that if these discs exist than the pilots may be able to avoid the normal G forces of acceleration due to the nature of antigravity but this is not known. Being able to leave the Earth's atmosphere makes them impervious to missile attacks while out there. It is also said that they are capable of here to fore unknown speeds for Earth based craft.

There are reports that we actually used these craft in the Operation Desert Storm. It is claimed that some soldiers saw disks swoop down and destroy Iraqi defensive positions with a beam that left nothing in its wake. The story goes on to say that all cameras were confiscated and that the particle beam that was fired broke down objects at the molecular level. That is a scary thought. A secret source stated that these craft were only one type that the astronauts from the US Space Warfare division used. This leads me think again that the Aurora is in use. There is a X-22 which is a unmanned drone but those that brought this story to light claim that it is a cover for the X-22A. The X-22 is code named Dark Star the same as the X-22A. There is a story that a man penetrated Area 51's no trespass zone and observed a test flight of the X-22A in 1992 but this I find hard to believe knowing the amount of surveillance and sensors in that area, but it might be true. . . .
