We’ve all seen the posts in forums, twitter, and on blogs proclaiming that government is about to announce the existence of extraterrestrial life. I usually glance through them, take a moment to think about how cool it would be and move on. I just have never thought that the government would ever risk the fallout from such a world changing announcement. Lately though, I have heard more and more talk about disclosure happening sooner rather than later. In fact there is talk that the government might finally be ready to tell us the truth this year and I am starting to think that it may be a strong possibility.

photo by Professor BattyThe other night I noticed a cat sitting watching me from across the street as I left a friends house. This seemingly innocuous event got me thinking. If I wanted to closely observe humanity unnoticed, but remain mobile how would I disguise my cameras/probes (or possibly myself)? The answer to that questions was staring me in the face, swishing its tail side to side. Feral cats are everywhere and almost no one notices them, making them the perfect disguise for a research probe.

First, from a physical standpoint cats are an ideal base to build an observation platform around. Their near supernatural agility means that the probe can be given the speed and maneuverability needed to evade capture without looking suspicious. A cat’s size would also allow ample room for the equipment needed on a remote probe (especially if using advanced alien technology). The probe’s power system could even be based on or supplemented by a bacteria based biologic power generation system that lets the probe “feed” on pet food left out for outdoor animals. In addition cats are omnipresent and largely look the same regardless of where in the world you go, meaning one probe could be used virtually anywhere on Earth without drawing any attention to itself.

As much as the US Military would like us to think that what the town of Stephenville saw was nothing more than a military training mission with common everyday fighter jets, there is no denying that there was something out of the ordinary in the sky that night. Today I came across an article in the Stephenville Empire-Tribune that got me thinking that whatever was over Stephenville is from a little closer to home than many people may be considering.

The article is about Stephenville resident Ricky Sorrells, who was allegedly threatened by the US Military if he didn’t stop talking about what he saw. While Sorrells’s story of government intimidation is week on verifiable details (though the thought of being harassed by the government is scary enough that I wish him the best of luck), there is one little pearl hidden in the article that is definitely worth exploring (and I think many people are overlooking). Sorrells claims to have seen the craft that flew over Stephenville on 4 different occasions and he describes the craft as being 3 to 4 football fields in length. While not incredibly descriptive in the least, it did get me thinking about a potential terrestrial source of the craft that if true would be straight out of science fiction. In the movie “Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow” (coincidentally a very good movie if you haven’t seen it), the heros land on massive aircraft that serves as an aircraft carrier/air base. I wondered, could the Air Force be developing a similar platform?
