Foil Hat...
Deep within the dark recesses of your thoughts, there exists the most wild and extreme theories so frightening in their implications, you dare not
express them. From whispers of dark Bilderberg plots of impending "population management" to terrifying rumors of extraterrestrials meddling in our
affairs, these are the extreme speculative conspiracy theories of our time. While artisans of "denying ignorance" my be inclined to quickly debunk
these outer fringe of theories, the more astute practitioners realize there is always something to be learned. And now, these highly speculative
conspiracy theories have a dedicated home on AboveTopSecret.com in the ATS Skunk Works Forum.

Abovetopsecret is one of the finest websites on the Net. We are continually adding new features, new forums, such as Skunk Works and our growth on the
Big Boards is nothing but astounding. This doesn't mean that there isn't some issues that need to be addressed. The membership of ATS are an
excellent group by and large. However there is a small amount here that thrive on conflict for various reasons. This does nothing to promote our great
site. Let's look at some of these problems and see if we can work together to raise the bar even higher.

This is the first photograph taken by a microsatellite of another object in space that has ever been released to the general public. The object near
the center is the upper stage of a Minotaur I rocket that was used to launch the Experimental Satellite System-11, commonly known as XSS-11. The
photograph was taken by the digital "witness camera" aboard XSS-11, a dishwasher-size microsatellite developed by the Air Force Research
Laboratory.
