They’re being quite specific by saying that there are materials that could be metallic or organic. But then there’s only a 90% chance that there are any other rooms anyway. So 10% chance they’re firing radar at solid rock. This doesn’t make sense to me. In this day and age can it really be so uncertain if these chambers exist?

Something just doesn’t feel right about all this.

Time for the drill and the tiny camera.

I have a feeling this is not going to be like Geraldo’s vault.

Or perhaps: “The world is not ready to see what’s in those rooms. We must claim they don’t exist, and take this forbidden knowledge to our graves.”

I can’t believe the British press used “scotches” in a derogatory manner, those Dutch uncles.
