More likely to be a phenomenon we don't understand. To paraphrase Arthur C. Clarke, any technology, sufficiently advanced, appears to be magic. It could be "us". At least as likely (possibly more likely) than UFOs being "them". We know there are people. We know there is probably a future of some kind. But speculation about unknown phenomena is sillier (in a policy speech) than saying the Soviets lied. I tend to believe that the Belgians were tracking an object of some kind. Where it came from, what it was, and who, if anyone, piloted it are unknown. It is pretty clear it wasn't swamp gas.

But getting back to Afghanistan, They lied to me! seems pretty reasonable. In the recent China espionage case, what I don't understand is why the NSA and FBI aren't being called on the carpet. DOE's expertise is ENERGY. NSA and FBI are experts in SECURITY and INVESTIGATION. If somebody effed up, it was them. More so than DOE.
