Not saying I beleive all the rumors, but it is possible thta the DEC of DNRC are lying about things.
It's possible that there were dropped by space aliens too but to claim the government is lying without substantiated proof is by definition propagating a conspiracy theory. If you want to be lumped in with the likes of the crop circle people, lock ness, big foot, JFK assasination nuts, etc etc etcthen go right ahead. But don't be surprised when a whole lot of people make fun of you. BTW I didn't bash or make fun. I called a spade a spade. If you propagate a conspiracy theory, you are a conspiracy theorist. If you knowingly spew unsubstatiated claims you are a BSer.
