    I won a box of stuff in a government surplus auction of junk from an unidentified, closed Government place in Nevada that’s not on the map, couldn’t find out exactly where it was, they just listed some of the usual info as “classified.” Not even sure what some of it is. When I bid on it I noticed the shiny stuff but not the big dark-red saucer thing in the middle. I wondered why the 8x8-foot box was so heavy, was listed as 3900 lbs. on the bill of lading. I opened the huge box as the last thing I did today, took a couple of photos, and left, didn’t want to wait around and see little green men come out of the saucer thing. The saucer is about six feet in diameter and maybe 18” high.

    Gosh now you got me wondering about that, the warehouse isn’t heated, it was about 40 degrees F in there today, and the saucer thing was noticeably warm! Wonder if that means anything? Maybe only that them lil’ green men had their heaters on, nuthin’ to worry about!
