Area 51 Officially exists according to the CIA

(ABC News) --  Area 51 in Nevada has long been the subject of wild conspiracy theories about extraterrestrials, time travel and alien autopsies, but newly released declassified documents from the CIA finally acknowledge its existence.

George Washington University's National Security Archive obtained a CIA history of the U-2 spy plane program through a Freedom of Information request and released it Thursday.

National Security Archive senior fellow Jeffrey Richelson reviewed the history in 2002, but all mentions of Area 51 had been redacted, according to The Associated Press.

Richelson says he requested the history again in 2005 and received a version a few weeks ago with mentions of Area 51 restored.


Will the conspiracy theories finally come to an end? Not likely, and after all, some parts of the report are still redacted.

Brad Pitt's 1st Carrier Launch, Fake?

There has been much discussion on the message boards about the now infamous carrier launch scene in Brad Pitt's "World War Z" zombie epic. In the scene an Antov-12 cargo plane launches from an aircraft carrier to send Pitt's character on his worldwide search for a zombie cure. In the video below you can plainly see that the US military has been launching C-130s and several other cargo planes off the deck of aircraft carriers for a very long time. After seeing the movie I can also confirm that there is not one scene that is militarily impossible. The armies of the world have weapons and logistical capabilities far beyond what most average people could fathom.
