Agent Smith says: "The great and powerful Oracle. We meet at last."

I missed the Heaven's Gate movie question.

Crap, I missed the Roswell one, of all things. In my defense, how many times did the "official story" change? that was a trick question.

But yeah, that Heaven's Gate question seemed a bit out of place.

I'm going to make a frontpage post on this later.

Winston Churchill and Dwight Eisenhower agreeing to a UFO cover-up during World War II? Sounds like something we might have seen during a flashback on an episode of The X-Files. But according to notes discovered within hundreds of previously secret "UFO files" released by the U.K. government's National Archives today, it actually happened.

One of the notes from the Ministry of Defense found within the papers makes reference to a 1999 letter which stated that a Royal Air Force plane returning from a mission in Europe during World War II was "approached by a metallic UFO."

The author of the letter, who remains unidentified, wrote that his grandfather attended a wartime meeting between the two leaders during which they expressed concern over the incident and "decided to keep it secret."

As a result of the letter, the Ministry of Defense investigated the case but could find no contemporaneous written record of the incident.

That doesn't mean it wouldn't make for a great movie, however. (Or a great conspiracy theory. Take your pick.)

Do you think the Churchill/Eisenhower conversation ever happened? Or was somebody's grandfather just trying to entertain his grandson?

Man, I'm going to have to make up a cool story about my grandfather too.

does someone smell something not quite right here.

What are the chances that both men came to the same conclusion knowing so little about ufos.This was right after world war 2 and the name of the game was remain alert,search the skies and then all of a sudden and without a gameplane both Churchill and Eisenhower both decided that people would panic,dunno something doesnt seem right here.Ill withhold judgement but my guess is this is a made up story.It dosnt fit the time it took place.
