    Did you note the way we got of the subject of terrorism PDQ then? Is that taboo then? (I get the feeling that Bergalia might, just, be right but hell we're not allowed to know that are we[I feel a knock on the door at 0300 coming on!])

    We're allowed to talk about terrorism, no problem.
    It's talking (inapropriately) about the American Government that will have the MIB on your doorstep at 0300.

    A sad truth it is, PsiPhi. Those who dare to ask whether said government really is giving them the whole story regarding terrorism and its associated war, are labelled as conspiracy theorists and shunned from further debate. It actually seems to be quite an effective strategy; look at how little debate there is on Bush asking for another 40-odd billion for the war this week.
    Back to the spirit of the thread.... the Avrocar, a genuine flying saucer built in the 1950s in a hanger near Toronto under a US air force / army development program ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Colour_avrocar_59.jpg )

    Dash it Walrus - just reading your note has brought the Australian Secret Service to my door. Bloody property surrounded by massed didjeridoo bands...A couple of helicopters with loudhailers circling overhead relaying Rolf Harris' 'Tie me kangeroo down, sport...' A mobile projector screening non-stop 'Crocodile Dundee' on the side of the house...And that's Kylie Minogue on the phone singing 'You should be so Lucky'...:(

    Is that deliberate

    Look closely at Marshmats Avrocar picture.
    There appears to be a red line dividing the craft in two?

    ...and on one side of the line it clearly says US Air Force, and on the other, US Army. Guess they just can't colaborate fully.

    The Advanced Electric Ship Demonstrator “Sea Jet” undergoes sea trials,
    Nov. 30, 2005, on Lake Pend Oreille in Bayview, Idaho.
    The 133-foot vessel is testing an underwater discharge water jet called AWJ-21,
    a propulsion concept with the goals of providing increased propulsive efficiency,
    reduced acoustic signature, and improved maneuverability over previous
    destroyer class combatants. U.S. Navy photo by John F. Williams
