It seems blatantly obvious to me that this was "spin" all along. That's what I tried to suggest in my original post. Not sure if I succeeded in making the point however. Needless to say, many UFO proponents are saying this is just more evidence of a crack opening up even wider in the "disclosure program." Yeah, whatever. ...whatever works to try to light a fire under the sedentary laurels of an apathetic pubic that seems to be far more interested in focusing on what color underwear Britney Spears might have been wearing last night, or whether she was even wearing any at all. If it takes hints of "alien construction" or a "monolith" to distract us from such endeavors... Hey! Go for it! Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
