Could be one of theirs..who knows. Nikola Tesla was on the verge of presenting his flying machine, which he said could stand perfectly still in the middle of a raging storm, and carry passengers in safety from pole to pole in minutes. His days were quickly numbered when he invented wireless electricity that could be transmitted across the world. His financier J.P Morgan, looking at the monstrosity of a tower, feeling good about all the money he was about to make, when he asked Tesla, "where do we put the meter?" So Tesla says, "Meter? What meter?" then Morgan says, "whaddaya mean WHAT METER??? How are we gonna charge the customers??" then Tesla says, "You're not...this is my gift to the world!" then I want you to cut to the scene in the movie The Untouchables, with Robert Dinero..." Wha? ...I want him dead! ...I want his house burned to the ground! ..."

Been following this story as well. The Navy's position is clear, that incident happened but they can not explain what it is. I remember seeing a head line in the media about this case and one other which many here may know well. Now the CIA wants to step in and cause a controversy over these accounts. A target for this one I wouldn't mind seeing.
