Whatever this thing was, it was just as big and bright as the planet/star it just left. I thought it WAS another start until it just vanished without a trace!
They created us, of COURSE they're interested in us! Especially since the first A-bomb test! If some kids in your area were playing with something as dangerous as that, wouldn't YOU be interested?

Well, it could have been bigger and brighter because it was closer than a planet or star. I mean, the moon isn't nearly as big as the sun, but they appear the same size during an eclipse by some amazing coincidence (or "coincidence", eh?) It didn't have to be as big as a planet...could have been as big as a state. You see what I mean?

It could also be that I am more inclined to believe it is govt. because of all of the stuff they've already admitted to.

I'm also not sure that I buy that they created us. I mean, that just opens the can of worms:

Well? Who created them? It doesn't solve anything to assume we were created by aliens, because it just goes on and on forever.

I also don't think they'd care much about the first A-bomb, at this point...we've obviously done far worse than that, by now... >_>

Did you know that the idea of nuclear fission was first conceived of by a German woman?
