Thanks, that comment was full of great links. Don't you hate it when someone interviews you for what you think is a historical piece on your time at area 51 and instead you get cloned babies in jello? Wow.

    Unknown to us, the gauthor,h to whom we were telling our life histories, somewhere along the way became an gInvestigative Journalisth credulously seeking to associate our time at Area 51 with the so-called Roswell flying saucer crash in 1947. Unknown to us, she located an elderly former employee of the Atomic Energy Commission whose mind now recalls seeing a Russian-made flying saucer constructed by Stalin that reportedly crashed at Roswell packed with medically and genetically altered children as pilots. According to Jacobsen writing in first person and stating as facts, Nazi Dr. Josef Mengele worked with Stalin to create these alien-looking children and this unidentified witness, a nuclear engineer, was given the job of caring for the comatose child pilots incased in vertical tubular tanks filled with Jell-O-like substance and life support systems.

It's an amazing book. It starts out with all these crazy gonzo facts, talks about government disinformation, lists some interesting historical stuff (that's readily available elsewhere) and then dives into a second set of crazy gonzo facts that make the first set of crazy gonzo facts read like the police report of Joe Friday.

I can't recommend it. The chick is opportunistically credulous in a way that's terrible to behold.
