I'm not sure why "Area 51" is still considered particularly mysterious or exciting anymore. Sure, operations on the base are top secret, but we know where it is and have done for decades - hell I've landed aircraft there in DCS World (it has a really dull taxiway). If there are ultra-secret new aircraft (or ALIEN SPACESHIPS) being tested, we'd have photos of them. Groom Lake is a massive salt flat surrounded by mountains, I doubt it'd be that difficult to camp out near the base with a camera and a big lens.
I'm almost certain that I mentioned this back in the day, but when Google Earth first became a thing myself and a colleague decided to have a peep at Area 51.

Mere seconds after 'landing' there, the whole site lost power. We were plunged into darkness - everything went down. My colleague and I exchanged wide-eyed glances, legitimately terrified that we had just seriously crossed a line :lol:

Everything came back to life a minute or two later, and we never went anywhere near Area 51 on Google Earth again 8-[

But you'd HAVE to go back in again. Because when it happened a second time you know for a fact that the FBI are on their way (probably with Neuralyzers)

EDIT: Oh my god. You actually did do that and they came and you forgot! Was just thinking about it after clicking away and doing something else :)

Nah. Had to be aliens.

I've largely ignored the trend for AI art (other than chuckling slightly every time someone inserted Shrek into something), but someone posted this on Reddit, and it's apparently entirely AI-generated:

DVD Screencaps from the movie Return of the Jedi, 1983

More here. I can't even begin to comprehend how this works, other than George Lucas secretly hiring David Lynch and his creating a big-budget Star Wars movie that George wasn't especially happy with so it was never released.

It's like a cargo cult based about Darth Vader's helmet :lol:

Some of them look like HR Giger was asked to submit designs.

Who could forget the scene in ROTJ when the Undead Mouse Queen and ginger-perm Bruce Willis devour a banquet consisting entirely of eggs at the Wish.com Vader helmet cosplay convention?
