Sigh. Even though this thread was started by someone who had no clue what they were talking about, it was a worthwhile discussion and some people's questions and misconceptions were being answered.

However, it has become a playground for someone else, who does not apparently live in "our" reality. Too bad.

Assuming one does have a relative with top secret clearance working on some hush-hush gov't project, are they really going to share that info with the whack job in the family? Hardly.

Given all the givens,

the possibilities I was interested in discussing with the poster are at least as plausible as a lot of others.

The thread could have easily remained a good spirited exchange amongst mature friendly sorts

had not a list of 'broad-minded' sorts felt compelled to assault my IQ, my personhood, my sanity, my good will, my honesty and my integrity--all rather contrary to forum rules--though clearly such people are ABOVE THE RULES according to their behavior and declarations!

You might check your mirror, Fred.

Thanks for the ping.

Started at the top and began to have at it.

It quickly became apparent that the original poster is a fluff ball when it comes to this area and not worthy of the effort. . .and then when the ET crowd showed up . . .WOW. . . now that really knocked me laughing off the table.

I tell ya, between fluff ball (troll/rat), and the UFO's-are-here-and-they-gave-us-velcro guy. . .this is way too weird for me.

Fun to read though. . .just not worth the effort to post much.

Thanks again for the ping, I mean that, and feel free to do so again.

Maybe I just have a special talent for knowing when a thread is about to turn to dog poo. This one sadly, had NO chance. I posted only because you asked me, but I saw where this one was headed right out of the gate.

This is quite a thread. I've heard more cogent discussions in a fighter bar at 2am surrounded by about 20 empty bottles of Jeremiah Weed.

As far as the F-22 is concerned...as one of the few folks on this thread who still actually flies fighters for a living...you do NOT want to know my opinion.
