After all, we suggested five amazingly practical new uses for the old place months ago, and…

Yesterday, we shared conspiracy theories linked to the first nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System.

In a post yesterday, onetime Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission sponsor Jeff Peckman expressed disappointment that the White House didn’t come clean about ET info in its possession. But one reader thinks too many UFOlogists are conditioned to reject anything that doesn’t support their views…
