  We don't actually know that though, considering how quickly government forces swept it away. The information came from the government. I'm not trying to say anything, I'm not a believer and I really don't care about this stuff. All I want to point out is that there is no way for anyone here on HN to know what it was for sure. There is only trust in the media, who trust in a press release, from the government.

    "We don't know, therefore aliens" is, perhaps, not the most solid of logical chains.

      Neither is "the government said so, therefore it is known."

        Except we have no evidence to cast doubt on them, so Occam's Razor says we shouldn't.
