[Comments on Sunday's (12/14) Area 51 documentary shown on the
Discovery Channel.]

My quick 2 cents.
I watched with great interest the Discovery Channel's AREA 51 The
Real Story tonight.
The Minister looked and sounded great .. very intelligent yet
with a matter of fact quality! Really pulled the whole piece
together as the: "how this is all connected" guy.. cause he's a
well connected guy.
Nice to see Xelex and Agent X in the flesh.
'Till now I only knew them from theie e-mails and their legendary
status .. Now I have faces to go with the words. X photographs
well under night vision green, but I was dissapointed not to see
a crashed F-117 on the wall behind Xelex!
Mahood and Bilbray put Lazar's claims in perspective and let a
little hot air out of the Lazar legend. Good to see that.
Psychospy did a good job .. took them to McCarren and told the
tale of the Janets quite well. Very credible .. as opposed to ..
Chuck Clark who believes that UFOs at Groom are
interdimensional!
Jim Wilson.. who believes Area 51 has closed up shop and moved!
Bob Lazar .. who was mysteriously missing and didn't have a
chance to defend his claims.
The "Reptoid" time jump guy.. who was that?
All in all there was nothing new here.
Random notes:
Stu debunked the JANET/Mothership.. take that true believers!
The weight they gave Pop Mech's Jim Wilson's AREA 51 MOVED"
claims without a chance for debunking .. bugged me a bit. Now
that it was on TV, even more people will actually believe
Wilson's bad reporting.
Also .. the B-2 wasn't used over Iraq during the Gulf War.
I did like the coverage of the Area 51 toxic waste lawsuit. Nice
to see that get more attention than alien stories..
The Discovery crew spent too much time in the alien giftshop.
Almost thought I had accidentally tuned into the Alien Home
Shopping channel.
A xerox machine will do in a pinch when you need a palm print
identifier .

During my interview, I gave Discovery Channel all the best new
information about recent operations and management/"ownership" of
the Groom Lake facility. It presumably ended up on the cutting
room floor to make space for Jim Wilson from Popular Mechanics.
He has no crediblity, and they did not allow for rebuttal. His
ridiculous story will gain artificial crediblity from the extra
exposure.

Bravo! All Interceptors acquitted themselves admirably!
I thought the show was pretty good. As in most visual/print
media relationships, it played like an outline of My Book (even
though presumably the producers never saw it! Could it be that,
like the base itself, documentary approaches to Area 51 are
finitely defined and inviolable?)....
Considering the strictures of the one-hour TV format, I have only
two critical questions:
(1) Who the hell let that jerk Jim Wilson on the show?
(2) Who encouraged Tom [Mahood] to wear that tacky shirt?

Subject: Registration of Janet aircraft seen on Discovery program
From: "Brunner, David" <David.Brunner@Den.Galileo.com>
I caught the Area 51 program on the Discovery channel last night
(Sunday 14Dec). I thought it was a pretty good program, overall
(especially that Campbell fella). Anyway, I was able to note the
N-registration number on the Janet aircraft that was seen a
couple of times. I did a search on WWW.LANDINGS.COM and came up
with the following info. (This may or may not be "new" news). The
first part is the owner and the second part gives details on the
particular aircraft type (737-200 series). I'd previously thought
the aircraft were owned by a private firm - EG&G, perhaps. Quite
odd to have a civilian-registered aircraft owned by the Air
Force. An AF 737 would normally be known as a T-43, not a 737.
Our tax dollars at work!
