CIA X-Files

I'm surprised zenops hasn't posted this yet.

The CIA declassified hundreds of documents in 1978 detailing the Agency’s investigations into Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). The documents date primarily from the late 1940s and 1950s.

Naw. No UFO's just angry americans.

US flights over Canada in 1950's would have been experimental specialized nuke droppers.

What is interesting about the Mark IV that the US dropped on Canada is that the US claims that it did not have the necessary plutonium core to detonate it. But if you know anything about nukes, a plutonium core isn't actually needed to detonate a nuke, you just need a slightly larger uranium mass (the difference between a bowling ball, and a large watermelon)

Whats also crazier, is that the entire bomber crashed *after* the nuke was dropped. Not that it really matters, if the expendable bomber wanted to do a 9/11, they could have simply just flown the bomber right into the location of whatever Canadian target it was going to hit.

It hit in such a remote area that they haven't bothered to salvage the guns off of it, until 1997. Which means: For sure, no one is going to the Apollo landing site to see if there is human crap there - until at least year 2200.

I would have really liked to have been able to have got the guns, or some wreckage off that piece of US Canadian history, might go up greatly in value in the future.

Dun dun duhhh. If you want to believe that humanity is good and just, the alien story is probably the story you want to use. The US nuking Canada, probably not so much.
