Ever since WWII, military technology has taken a sharp turn upward. Perhaps coicidentally, it is during this time that reports of "Foo Fighters," flying circles around pilots during missions over Europe and the Pacific, reveal to investigators that the UFO phenomenon did not start with Roswell in 1947. Also early in the 20th century, Tesla had found a (politically unpopular) way to provide free electricity to the world, using the Earth's magnetic field ~ and Albert Einstein's "Unified Field Theory for Gravitation and Electricity" was originally published in a mid 1920s Prussian scientific journal, (later withdrawn as "incomplete"). Whether from found Alien technology, or an adolescent society stumbling with unpredictable cosmic forces, the stories are mixed, and the investigation is murky at best (Naval records place the Eldridge in the Bermuda Triangle at the time). In reality, the project may likely have been the result of "comparing notes" between cutting edge scientific theory and found Alien artifact application.

Because the UFOs had the uncanny ability to evade electronic detection, the Navy decided it might be nice if their ships could be made invisible to radar as well. This would be a definite advantage over the Axis powers ~ especially if they could put the things on airplanes. In theory, the device was supposed to simply absorb radar signals (or bend the radiation waves around a magnetic field) thereby reflecting nothing back to the source, so the ship would therefore not show up as a blip on enemy screens.

In the autumn of 1943 the US Navy's "Project Rainbow" involved an American destroyer, the USS Eldridge, in an experiment to make it radar proof ~ but something went terribly wrong. Any prior test experiments would not have involved the massive electromagnetic coils and generators that were used on the Eldridge. In the era that bore the Atomic Bomb, the nature of science (especially physics) was haunted by urgent tactical necessity. Maybe the vast volume of water (an excellent conductor) that the ocean presented, brought new variables into the equation, and thus changed the nature of the phenomenon. But when they threw the switch, instead of simply disappearing off radar screens, the ship literally disappeared from optical view. When the generators were shut down, the ship reappeared, and the crew came back ~ but all were extremely exhausted and had to be replaced.

A second experiment, a few weeks later, was supposed to be tamed down ~ just the radar invisibility this time, for now anyways. This time the ship vanished also however, and became instantaneously teleported hundreds of miles away to Norfolk, Virginia (a port where it had recently been). When it came back a few minutes later, many of the crew was missing, and some had "phased" into bulkheads ~ not a good way to die. Years later, in a midwestern bar, dazed seamen in old style uniforms appeared "out of thin air" They seemed as astonished as the patrons who witnessed them come and go. Apparently, the Eldridge and her crew were victims of unexplored realms, the fine print of the laws of physics.

A short plane ride north of Las Vegas, in the American western desert, is perhaps the world's most famous Top Secret Military Base to which hundreds of civillians commute daily (via private jumbo jets from Las Vegas). Birthplace of the Stealth Bomber and many other state of the art aerospace technologies, Area 51 has intrigued UFO hunters for decades.

When the US military acquired real flying saucers, they sat on them and tried to recreate some of the gadgets inside. The vessels were found to be capable of some very amazing feats, right out of sci-fi and into Hangar 18. Among them were: dangerous beams of light (lasers), floating in midair (antigravity), invulnerable metals as light as a feather ~ and stealth, the ability to remain undetected by any radar technology currently available !

UFO debunkers point to this military installation as proof that all UFOs are merely Top Secret military projects, involving technologies that the government simply doesn't want to fall into the wrong hands. Conspiracy theorists however, claim that this proves exactly their case ~ that the US Government has been back engineering found Alien Technology, trying to develop Flying Saucers of their own, and some swear they've definately succeeded.

In the early 1950s, there was a secret pact between many major world governments ~ including the United States, Canada, Great Britain, France, East and West Germany, and the Soviet Union ~ declaring that any country who recovers a living extra-terrestrial is responsible for its termination. What these countries do with the wreckage is their own business however, and has very much to do with whom their politically aligned. Usually, the artifacts would be sent to either Russia or the US ~ and guess who's ahead in this tech race !

This was during the Cold War, so possession of advanced technologies was even more political and imperative than it is today. But the Aliens didn't want to fuel the flames of an already escalating Arms Race. In one fateful meeting, the Soviet delegates stormed out after a debate over such issues. Perhaps they were angry about Area 51 (and other bases), where it is rumored that Aliens exist on site, and contribute to the construction of Space Technologies for the New Millennium.

Recently, the US Air Force came forward and publicly acknowledged that a secret military base does, in fact, exist in the mountains north of Las Vegas, but they still vehemently deny the existence of any recovered alien spacecraft, stating instead that they had experimented with different types of saucer shaped vehicles during the Cold War, and that anything going on there now is highly classified, for reasons of National Security. But UFO fans point to this as yet another shabby attempt on the part of the military to disperse valid concern with a few well laid facts to add spice and credibility to popular lies.

Under the Mountains surrounding Groom Lake, the recently exposed Super Secret Military Base exists for the sole purpose of maintaining, studying, disecting and back engineering found Alien Technology. Even the skeptics have to admit that it's the perfect location for such a facility. Some reports claim that the indescribably huge "Space Base" (that can withstand a nuclear attack) was built with help from ETs, and is linked to much older bases that the ETs built here many thousands of years ago ~ it is well within Anasazi territory, an ancient American people who simply disappeared. The word Anasazi means "Ancient Aliens" to the Navajo, who have many spooky legends about their mysterious ruins (some of them sound like modern UFO Sightings and Alien Abduction reports).

Rumors have surfaced of Aliens living on the site and that an aggreement was reached that the US Government will look the other way as far as Alien Abductions, Cattle Mutilations, and the many easily dismissable UFO Sightings, (after all, only nuts and crackpots really believe in such things), in exchange for further Technological Advances for which there is no Earthly comparison.

People who live nearby or used to work there, (back engineering UFO technology, etc.) have been threatened with their very lives not to discuss what they've seen. Some witnesses were told that if they breathed a word to anybody, their unrecognizable bleached bones would be found in the desert many years in the future. Hence, most recollections come as former workers are on their death bed, and so are difficult to analyze fully.

Since he came forward nationally with his amazing claims, Bob Lazar no longer exists. The hospital where he was born, the schools and Universities which he attended and recieved his degrees (Masters in Physics from MIT and in Electronics from Cal Tech), all suddenly have absolutely no records whatsoever of him even attending. All concerned agencies have disavowed any associations with him, and though much proof abounds, denied that he was ever employed. He has even been jailed on erronious charges, ranging from drugs to prostitution in 1990, thereby effectively ruining his credibility.

As it turns out, the saucer shape is exactly where theoretical physicists start when dreaming up how Hyperspace travel might in fact be possible. Einstien's Theory of Relativity states that as you travel through Space, you also travel through Time. Modern scientist's extrapolations presume that certain manipulations of Space Time would create a Wormhole connecting one multi dimensional point of the Universe to another. Travelling inside a craft of this purpose, one would like to be certain about its construction. Vehicles of this type are said to be seamless, as if cast from a single mold ~ and the near indestructable metal is virtually wieghtless.
