    I looked and the "robot" at Area 51 is actually a large asphalt milling machine. It's one of those machines you see on the highways grinding up the pavement so they can lay new pavement. The reason it looks like it is in different poses is because the images were taken at different times of the day so the shadows were cast in different directions.
    I figured your editors would have caught this one super quickly because it only took me about a minute of staring at it before I knew exactly what it was. And a quick Google search of pavement grinding machines I found what its actual name is. Mystery solved!
    Don't believe me? Look it up. What is funny is the images in the search show the machines in different directions and time of day, so you can actually see the 2 "legs" in some of them.
    And the machine is around other road equipment so it makes total sense. And since there is a runway and roads at Area 51 it makes sense they would have their own equipment. Anyone who thinks they are actual robots is pretty dumb in my opinion.
    And no need for engineers poking fun at the Russians using storage containers either. The truth is far more mundane sometimes! Like a machine we have all seen at one point or another. Once you see it you can't un-see it!

      Speaking Area 51 my one major complaint about the original Independence Day is that they showed Area 51 in the middle of a salt flat which is nothing at all like the terrain around the actual Area 51 which is very rocky and elevated to make it that much harder for someone to just sneak in or send a drone to get a few pictures on the sly. I was also somewhat annoyed with the ease in which the Russians just waltzed in there in "Indiana Jones" when a major part of the reason the Air Force built the Groom Lake facility where it is in the first place and why secrecy was so top level was to literally keep the Russians from finding out about the stealth program among other things.

      It's probably true, but it may be that many of the amazing things don't work as well as... anyone would like. :) Experimental technology is like that.
      What I've heard about Area 51 is that aliens thing was made up to allow workers whose health was damaged by radiation at (or near?) the site to sue for compensation without revealing what actually happened. I don't know what-all has happened for obvious reasons, but I do know that at some point in the heyday of the space race, nuclear thermal rocket engines were tested in Nevada with their _possibly_ highly radioactive exhaust directed straight up into the air. Considering that and the general attitudes of the Atomic Age, it seems very likely that certain highly classified projects suffered from a similar lack of care for the dangers. And, well, more than half the state of Nevada is under the control of whatever environment agency the US has which can declare an area unsafe to enter.

    1:14 Hah, the "Beatrixpark Dock Murder Spot", i live in the town where this supposed murder had been reported.
    I had no idea that this was a thing until i watched "What On Earth?!", a show specifically about analyzing satellite photos, where it was discussed in one episode.
    I've been living here for over 30 years and been to that wooden pier thing many a time, which is why it surprised me so much to randomly hear about it in an American show, and now here again.
    Then again, murders do happen, and on Saturday nights after our local bar closed at 1, my friends and i used to walk to a remote secluded nature reserve, just to smoke a joint at the end of it in the birdwatcher's hut.
    We had walked that route a bunch of times, and whenever a car came, we used to duck or hide, usually for giggles, because we kept making up stories about them, and joking like "look out, a psycho! Run!".
    We dubbed it "Route Psycho Psycho", even though, in hindsight, we were the psychos, walking near tents and boats in the middle of the night, simply because we were curious to see or find anything (mind you, we're drunk and stoned).
    But yeah, one time we heard on the news about a girl that had gone missing one weekend, and ended up being found really close to where we used to smoke our joint.
    She was picked up at the station by two guys (seen on camera) and ended up dead in the water, so, we never went back there anymore.
    I also had a weird murder inconvenience, i went on my bike towards a factory to apply for a job, getting there was no problem, i have the meeting, took about 30 minutes max.
    On the way back, the cycle path was suddenly closed off, police around etc., apparently a couple minutes after i passed that point, a kid was stabbed to death, and the inconvenience was that i had to bike all the way around to get home again, in the snow, took me an hour to get back.
    Jokes aside though, it's kind of a weird experience, i saw the blood on the snow, and they put up a memorial tribute to the kid for a while.
    And not far from there, when i used to bike to work in that area, there was a time when i smelled a foul smell at a certain bend, it lingered for weeks.
    Later i heard on the news that they had found 3 bodies that were dumped in some kind of hatch on the premises right next to that bend.
    Yuck..
    Now i think of it, the son of a colleague of mine drowned right near the spot where i always have my smoke break when i'm at work, i work outdoors in town and roam around a lot, but usually go back to a spot that i like, with the birds and the bees and whatnot, but yeah, someone's son had died right there.
    There are so many places where people died, i wonder what the most unique spots are.

    The so called "meteorite crater" in Antarctica is the product of a far more recent series of collapses of the below sealevel half of east Antarctica south of Australia. The overpressured Aquifer discharged in basal outburst gigafloods. It's channels run out to the coast where the Conger ice shelf recently collapsed.
    It's doing it again, as the Glacial icestreams have thinned, ruptured into several kilometer high ice cliffs, hundreds of kilometres inland.
    This has provided a free path to the sea, dumping the basal hydrostatic pressure, and Allowing the several thousand PSI at sealevel pressurised aquifer inland to discharge geothermally heated mud and water through the underlying strata to this vent system.
    Basically a underice hot mud volcano 🌋.
    Hiawatha is one of these too. NOT a friggen meteorite crater. The Great Lakes native copper deposits were produced by the same process when the Laurentide ice sheet collapses happened, precipitating metallic copper at 350C out of hot geothermal fluids.
    "Meteorite crater" is science paper code for "we'd rather not scare the kids with the truth here". Meteorites, unlike these phenomena, do not strike the same place twice.
    See the pattern? "Don't look down Simon!"

THE F 22 is currently our most top secret fighter, won't be replaced for at least 30 years, and with ongoing upgrades it will probably become America's 7th generation fighter as well! Air/Space Force speculation has also brought forth some neat hypothetical ideas about crossing the F22 & A12C airframes to create a new, hypersonic, super stealth airframe for the 8th generation American Fighter, OR the 1st generation hypersonic, super stealth, ARMED, interplanetary Air/Space Defense Craft!

I ended up sitting beside Sec. Shyu and we discussed some of the new biotech suits they were testing to help soldiers with strength, stamina, and speed.

      I worked with a guy who served over in Afghanistan. He told me about some "weird stuff" that a fellow soldier friend of his described. He said that his friend saw a tank roll up to a bus and "fire lightning at it, almost immediately melting it into slag". This sounds like a "futuristic weapon system" that the US was talking about researching. Basically, the weapon consists of two components. The first being a relatively high powered laser which fires on a target. This laser isn't necessarily used to damage the target, but instead is used to knock electrons off of the target giving it a positive charge. The second component of the weapon is the interesting one. Before the laser fires, the weapon builds up a massive negative charge. A tiny fraction of a second after the laser fires, the negative charge is released and strikes the target. The two components fire so close to each other that the effect is basically "lightning wrapped around a laser", or "a lightning cannon". Based on the description he gave, it sounds like the thing is only effective at relatively close range.
