Hey Siegfried out of the last 7 postings (before yours) I could point all of those back to UM's (except the pixie liberation front ... and that is simply because I have been keeping away from the PLF because at my height I would be in great danger from them)

OK: Stronghold in Antartica; inhabited by aliens or alien lizards or Nazis is the usual one for that: anyone gonna help me with a location for that... and if it doesn't exist time for us to create it!

Found one....here!

AUTHOR: Vesco, Renato and Childress, David Hatcher
"Nazi UFO's" get major play here, along with the claim of a Nazi escape after the war -- to Antartica?!?

Uranium smuggling is usually a UM created by governments to justify bombing small countries to smithereens (despite their own capabilities to annhilate the whole planet).

As to Uranium smuggling, loadsa stuff on the net about this. Specific to Australia, not so much since it is spent uranium which is most dangerous (and the digereedoos was my poetic licence, yes). Here's one Aussie set that mentions smuggling.

Do you want answers for the others too Siegried?

...listen to a word he was about to say. However, they ignored his warning and listened in awe as he told them about the UFO which had crashed just half a mile up the road sometime in the 1960s. He offered to show them the sight. They noticed he was wearing a name badge, it said "BRIAN". He got in to their car and gave them directions as they drove. When they reached the location they saw that Brian had vanished. They looked around the alleged crash sight but found little evidence of a UFO. Assuming they had been tricked, they got back in to the car and drove home. Watching the news the next morning they found out that, had they taken their intended route, they would almost certainly have...
