For decades, the U.S. government has been accused of not only secretly investigating the existence of extra-terrestrials on and around our planet, but of conducting a generation-spanning cover up aimed at keeping the public at large in the dark about such visitors. For many Americans, these accusations are little more than a plotline in some […]

Assistant Secretary of State for Arms Control, Verification, and […]
Manufactured by Rockwell, the B-1 Lancer bomber, affectionately known as the ‘Bone’ is a four engine supersonic aircraft with variable swept wings. The B-1 was originally thought to be a replacement for the B-52 Stratofortress. It entered service in 1986 as a nuclear bomber before being permanently converted for use only with conventional ordnance in […]
The Marine Corps has identified the pilot of the F/A-18 Hornet that went down during a mid-air refueling mishap with a KC-130 tanker aircraft off the coast of Japan early Thursday morning.
