A Note on Area 51






Next to Area 51 is a small town by the name of Indian Springs.  This little town in the middle of nowhere caused quite a stir near the end of WWII, right before the time the design of the first Stealth Fighter was released.  The design was kept completely secret, not a soul outside the military base knew it's complete form. About a year before the aircraft was to be made public, the toy company Mattel released their version of the Stealth Fighter model toy that was oddly, yet exceedingly, accurate. Officials at Area 51 were less than pleased.  Before the toys were released though, the residents of Indian Springs grew fond of a popular coffee mug design that depicted the Stealth Fighter. When government officials walked into this town and saw practically everyone with a Stealth Fighter coffee mug, they went ballistic.  How was it that everyone already knew the design of this supposedly secret aircraft? And why did everyone put it on their coffee mugs??? Ah small town humor...

  1. My favorite image at the moment is an old veteran shaking an angry fist at the toothless towns people of Indian Springs cursing the day they were introduced to Mountain Dew and Ezra. For I do not belive it was coffee in those mugs!
