Really you have seen one up that close?  Geez.  I've never seen any of it personally.  No crop circles no ufo's nothing.  I want some of those Nvg's but they cost as Much as a used car.  There is just too much broad info for it to be fake at this point.  The real turning point for me was Antarctica and the stories from there and the fact that there are essentially zero satellite pics of the pole that are not edited.  I just can't go back to normieville after giving that some thought. I wish I could fly a cheap baloon drone over that continent. :)
