Third Armrest Betrays Alien Origin of New Military Plane |
2007-03-14 |
![]() "Best damn reporting on the planet." TOOELE, Nev. -- According to former Air Force engineer Scott Rasla, America's latest warplane isn't entirely of this earth. "I worked for five years on the Nightstar Hypersonic Bomber project," Rasla told Weekly World News, "and I can assure you that our military has copied every detail from extraterrestrials -- right down to the third armrest on the pilot's seat. "I won't even get into what the bathroom looks like," Rasla said. What kind of creature would need eleven sprognauls? Air Force spokesman Colonel Douglas Snaud dismissed the design details as the latest in combat ergonomics. "Commanding a high-altitude bombing raid is a stressful job," Col. Snaud said. "We want our pilots to have a selection of comfortable armrests." But Colonel Snaud's explanation leaves a few Nightstar mysteries untouched. "What about the cattle-shaped gunsight?" Rasla wondered. "Or the antimatter propulsion system?" It's not really antimatter. It's inverse matter. There's a big difference. "Look," Col. Snaud insisted. "These were created by terrestrial engineers for terrestrial pilots on terrestrial missions. To put it another way, the rumors of this plane's alien origin are powered by the simplest propulsive source of all: a crank. Went the long way around for that one. |

#9 Ignoring the 'unique'armrest configuration for a minute, the cockpit windscreen arrangement looks reminiscent of that of the Boeing 377 Airliner (C-97 to military buffs). wonder if Marvin the Martian copied that? |

#7 That is not a third arm-rest. It is for the third leg. |

#6 I love the Weekly World News at times. I think a few people misread the last few lines. The rumors are spread by cranks, not the propulsion system. |

#5 Us humans ain't smart enough to invent stuff! If I can't understand how it works then it's gotta be Alien Intelligence. %) This guy must be on Space Coke. |

#2 I want an anti-matter propulsion system! Actually, I would prefer the Cold Fusion power plant that powers the Bolo's. Yeah! |
