Was mylar an invention of area 51

To try to answer the question " Was mylar an invention of area 51 " military research we have to do a little digging into the history of this foil like plastic.

The above picture shows aviation technology printed on a mylar balloon and was found on a site called frequentflyersclub.

The image below is a picture of a tattooed alien also printed on mylar and it was found on sunshinejoy.com.

Both are interesting and those sites will gladly sell you either of those items.

On a more serious note however the question of was mylar an invention of area 51 experiments with state of the art materials that needed to remain top secrets and for the eyes of the military only was looked into by a Canadian recently who suggested that the alien conspiracy which includes advanced materials found at the site and covered up by the military was nothing more that them trying to keep this new material a secret.

Why ?

Biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate or boPET was a great electrical insulator and an advantage in aircraft technology. It was also very much like foil in reflective quality but unlike foil it had the ability to restabilize itself after undergoing stresses.  boPET took on some trade names such has Mylar, Hostaphan, and Melinex.

This was happening in the 1950's when the companies DuPont and  Imperial Chemistry Industries invented boPET.

What was found at area 51 was likely nothing more than some scraps of Mylar or boPET. The need to keep this information top secret is self evident. Military secrets give a country an advantage and if this stuff was being used in the development of more advanced air ships then picking the pieces of this stuff " which looked like it could only be made by an advanced alien species " after a crash would have been a wise move for the military personel.

Was mylar an invention of area 51 ? From this information the answer seems to be no. boPET is a Dupont invention with the credit of such materials going to others also.

The American chemical company DuPont was not new to supplying contracts to the military. They were founded in 1802 and  ran a gunpowder mill for a long time. They became one of the biggest names in polymers and revolutionalized the materials used in industry by introducing products such as Mylar, M5 Fibers, Nomex, Teflon, some Freon derivatives, synthetic polymer paint pigments such as ChromaFlair and much more.

Does this mean all area 51 conspiracy theories are a hoax ?

Maybe and maybe not. The bigger question that effects humanity might be " What other secrets would the military hide from us and the enemy to keep their experiments classified as black ops ? "

DaVinci's catapults

This is information on Davinci's catapults.

Leonardo DaVinci, the Rennaissance man, needs no introduction. Most people know of this genius through the many books of history that mention great inventors, thinkers, and people who have influenced change. 

Are DaVinci's catapults the invention of these cross bow like war machines?

DaVinci lived from 1452 to 1519 and the catapult was in use in much earlier times. The Romans used them in war. As the legions of soldiers moved about to conquer or defend they would carry the ropes and fasteners and would use local wood to built and erect the foundation of the catapult.

Leonardo's drawings of catapults show that he was considering the spring action of leaf springs in the redesigning of a much older weapon. (1)

Leaf springs are simple springs that are built up of layers or leaves. One advantage of a leaf spring is that the end of spring can be designed in a way to send a trajectory along a guided path. Another advantage of a leaf spring is that it can be built of wooden layers which gives Davinci's catapults the same potential as a cross bow.

Catapults are like ballistas. The ballista was likely a Greek invention and came into being when inventors gained knowledge about tension spring. The Romans inherited the tension powered ballista technology from the Greeks.

The difference between a ballista and a catapult is that a ballista shoots a projectile on more of a curved arc than a catapult. War weapons like Davinci's catapults throw a trajectile more like a heavy cannon. The Romans ended up using the word ballista to describe all such weapons. (2)

Who invented the story of Area 51

UFO stories are common nowadays but who invented the story of Area 51 ?

This American military base is situated 133 km or 83 miles NW of the gambling mecca of Nevada, in the southern portion of the desert state. By some accounts it is the secret headquarters of paranormal alien activity which has been hidden in the secret vaults of American black ops.

But who invented the story of Area 51 as the military base is more commonly referred to ?

The area is surrounded by four mountain ranges.

• Crisis Corner
• Freedom Ridge
• White Sides
• Supplemental Hills

From information on spartechsoftware we learn that in the 1950's U2 spy planes were developed and tested in the area. In 1962 a prototype of the SR 71 Blackbird was tested here. Later on stealth fighter jets such as the F 11 A Nighthawk was also tested at the site. And according to the same source perhaps a new breed of supersonic plane is being tested here even today known as the Aurora which could fly and mind boggling speeds of MACH 7. These planes are rumoured to be using combinations of jet engines and pulse-detonation wave engines. (Star Trek stuff !!!)

The alien aspect of Area 51 or the invention of such starts in the 1950's also and introduces the small town of Rachel, Nevada into the story. It's a small town built on a farm and named after Rachel Jones. It's the Twilight Zone lost in space and a Mars like valley and the few hundred residents here have grown accustomed to being blasted by the occasional supersonic boom. Little Rachel Jones passed away when she was only three but the story of Rachel grew in popularity when Las Vegas resident Bob Lazar in November of 1989 went public with some controversial claims of UFO experiments being conducted in the secured Area 51 military compound.

The Lazar story went that he and some friends had visited Tikaboo Valley on a Wednesday night in April 1989 to watch the testing of alien crafts, or flying machines designed on the concept of reverse engineering of UFO technology. This had to be on a Wednesday since the instruments were only tested on this day.

Tikaboo Valley is 25 miles ahead of Rachel on H375. When his claims were made in November they were an invitation to waves of visitor or UFO gazers to that spot which came to be known as the Black Mailbox while others ventured to the nearby town of Rachel.

So the answer to who invented the story of Area 51 could well be Bob Lazar.

Lazar's story goes further where he supports his alien conspiracy claims by stating that he'd been part of the secret ops as an employee of S-4 ( Sector Four at Groom Lake )  in 1988-89 who'd worked the Papoose Lake alien spacecraft which was well hidden inside a mountain range; inside the Nellis Range which is the Nevada Test and Training Range ( NTTR ) renamed Nellis Air Force Range ( NAFR ) in 2001.

The terrain enclosed by the range is characterized by numerous small ranges of mountains, with the area between consisting of desert, including small endorheic lakes. One of these, Groom Lake, is reportedly the location of the air force's secret test facility, popularly known as Area 51.  source wikipedia 

Lazar says there were nine seperate discs and that as an employee he was given secret information about alien activity on this planet starting some 10 thousand years in the past.

The Lazar story of alien activity and reverse engineering technology being developed in the Nevada desert have been interesting and have awakened the UFOlogists in many people yet mainstream media and scholars have been quick to point to him as a charlatan or snake oil salesman. His claims of education in the field of technology at places like the California Institute of Technology and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have been called "bogus" and no records are found of his attendence at these colleges. He claims on the other hand that these institutions destroyed the evidence as part of a black op conspiracy.

Interesting enough!!!

geothermal drill

The geothermal drill or flame drill is an innovation on the conventional method of boring holes into the solid upper crust of the earth. Jared Potter and Potter Drilling have been advancing on this technology after father Robert Potter learnt the technology while working for Los Alamos Laboratories.

This flame drill, if it operates as well as it's inventors expect, will drill faster and deeper than conventional drills and they will do so at a cheaper cost.

Cheaper because the expensive bits required by other drills that fracture while trying to dig into rock are not a part of this process. These high end bits, usually diamond tipped, are replaced by heated tips that do not touch the rock surface and that are power by the extreme heats provided by nature or the geothermal influence.

All too much to be true ???

For those interested in the strange and the conspiracy theories then try making a correlation between this and that !!!!
