Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money’: The Pentagon’s Mysterious U.F.O. Program

Just wondering what shmups thinks of the latest hubbub. If this had happened when I was a kid I would have never gotten any sleep!

I know - I, too, am highly disturbed Harry Reid spends his spare time shoveling $millions of pork into the Pentagon. When he's not busy opposing the expansion of Medicare or doing his best to get Donald Trump elected president.

The chance of space aliens visiting our planet is effectively 0%. The computer simulation we're living in isn't that wacky.

For a probably more amusing example of misappropriation, I recommend The Men Who Stare At Goats. A short look at nutjobs exploring the development of so-called "Warrior Monks". Among their purported psychic abilities they would have: being able to walk through walls (Should be easy. They're made up of mostly just empty space, right? Right?!) and being able to will a heart to stop. Thus, all the goat-staring.

Ah UFO's. Almost as mysterious, secretive and expensive as the world of Japanese arcade collectors. Almost.
