How America Won World War II (This Picture Is One Big Clue) After Pearl Harbor, the Pentagon was worried that Imperial Japan would launch a full-scale bombing run on the U.S. West Coast. Here's What You Need To Know: Everyone—from the military planners at the War Department to the civilians on the street gazing nervously at the sky—knew that World War II was an air war. It was the first war in which air power played an essential role, and air power was proving itself to be a prominent and devastating weapon. When I was a young boy in Seattle, my father told me about a fake town that had...

   Sara Miura Zolbrod, coordinator of the 1,000 Hopes project, holds some hopes, dreams and wishes created by local elementary students. She will add about 1,000 of these papers to the fence at the Eugene Public Library by the end of May.

The more I dug into the mystery, the more I came to believe that the subject had far less to do with aliens and far more to do with government activity. Within in the field of Ufology, there is an acceptance that the first real animal mutilation case (as ufologists see it) was that of Snippy, a horse found dead under bizarre coincidences.

America Built Fake Cities to Hide Its World War II Airplane Factories The cities and villages sat on top of the secret workshops and was meant to fool Imperial Japanese pilots into thinking they were not worth bombing. Key Point: The idea was a good one, but one that proved largely unnecessary. Thankfully, Imperial Japan was never able to launch a major, full-scale bombing raid on the West coast. When I was a young boy in Seattle, my father told me about a fake town that had been built on top of Boeing’s Plant 2 during the war. This naturally fired my imagination. What an ingenious way, I t...
