Well yeah that too, but like I said, I doubt it were the afterburners.

The thing is, the US Government has had a LOT of top secret technologies and information for a long time that they have kept secret.  Hell, half the people who worked on the first nuclear weapons had no idea what they were doing.  It IS possible to have something kept completely secret.  I don't believe for one second any of this UFO garbage.  What I DO believe is that we have some pretty sweet technology being developed out in the SW of the USA and the government does not want ANYBODY knowing about it. 

Is Area 51 some massively secure base?  Yes, it is.  Does it contain UFOs?  No, it doesn't.  Does it contain HIGHLY confidential information/weapons/technology?  I'd bet my life on it.

There are just some things that certain people have no need to know about, nor should they.  Hell, when the Atomic Bomb was being developed Harry Truman had zero clue about it until the day he was sworn into office.  Even then, he wasn't told everything.  There's probably a lot of stuff that our current president doesn't know about, and that's not just because he's a complete moron.   :P

That was all before 1500 cable channels, the internet, and Britney Spears' cooch shots.  If the media really wanted to know they would.  The only way to keep a secret now is for no one to care.

During WWII, the media was more than happy to be a voluntary propaganda machine. Could you imagine the media as a whole doing what is good for our country nowadays?

That all died when it was proven destroying public figures was more profitable than protecting them.  Watergate did that.  Woodward and Bernstein became celebrities and a whole new predatory media was born.
