An expedition of Russian researchers claims to have found evidence that an alien spaceship had something to do with a huge explosion over Siberia in 1908. Experts in asteroids and comets have long said the massive blast was caused by a space rock.
The new ET claim is "a rather stupid hoax," one scientist said today. And it's one with a rich history.
The latest claim was written up by news wires and was making the Internet rounds Thursday morning. According to Agence France Presse, the scientists say they've found "an extra-terrestrial device" that explains "one of the 20th Century's biggest scientific mysteries," a catastrophe that flattened some 800 square miles of Siberian forest in a region called Tunguska.
Various other news reports told of a "technical device" and "a large block made with metal." The researchers were said to chip a piece off for laboratory study.
Most scientists think the Siberian devastation was caused by a large meteorite which, instead of hitting the ground, exploded above the surface.

During the very early days of the space race, the U.S. Air Force was competing with the civilian run NASA for the lead role in this country. The AF was experimenting with creating a launch system based on high altitude balloons. This was all very secret since it was the cold war and all.
When one of these balloons crashed with test dummies there was a security crises. One way or another the press was encouraged to believe that an alien cover up was going on so no one would know about the balloon project. It was only in the late 90's that the truth was declassified, but now the legend has believers so faithful that nothing will shake them.

The Area 51 is a weapons and propulsion development and testing facility. No alien spaceships there.

No, they don't. That's just one of many silly conspiracy theories that keep floating around. Here's the deal - it would take many intelligent scientists to study the alien technology, and many military personnel to guard it. When you have that many people involved in a secret, somebody's going to tell someone about it, and then it wouldn't be a secret anymore! There's no way our government (or any other) could keep a secret of that magnitude for that long.

It is Area 51. Many conspiracy theorists would tell you that there is a space ship out there.

Nope.
They have a variety of experimental aircraft and "lifting bodies" that could be and have been mistaken for alien spaceships.
