Two things.

One, these things are really funny. These are designed to bring great laughs among pals who are in the trenches. You’re looking at American esprit de corps, mighty powerful stuff when it comes to getting a ridiculously hard job done. Whatever else you think of stunts like stealth bombers and laying miles of undersea cable, they ain’t easy jobs.

Two, if some plans sound wack they’re mainly for the minds of others. They’re terrific disinformation. Makes them even funnier.

Third of two things. I find myself coveting a To Serve Man patch with a covetousness not felt in in 20 years. That Twilight Zone moment is among my happiest. I was an early teen, really sucking in stuff like this. The payoff blew us away. We all laughed after the longest gasp. I nominate this as mankind’s greatest pun.

I have that first patch sussed now, possibly. An aerial or satellite view of the US-Mexico border shows at many points a sudden transition to a distinctly greener shade on the US side.

In view of that maybe the “green door” is an expression used in some circles to refer to the US-Mexico border, and the ghost represents illegal immigrants who furtively cross it in droves.

That might explain the red patch over the south western states, although it’s harder to reconcile the idea with the ghost’s menacing red eyes and dagger, unless these all just represent an unspecified threat of some kind, not necessarily hostile but possibly economic for example.

But I still reckon we’re probably discussing an elaborate April fool joke.

The first patch is easy, but “The Goat Suckers were part of the 4452nd Test Squadron, who evaluated the F-117A (Nighthawk) stealth fighter back in the 1980’s.” ..relates to the fact of low_flying, ..I mean goat low missions, where the pilots literaly sucked goats into their engine intakes..and I thing this predates the stealth era?

“really”?..the patch bears/gives the answer to the question:Did N.A.S.A. really go to the moon? (correct version!)..before anyone approaching a facility worker can actually ask it.

The stealth bomber is quite interesting, it gives obvious rader_absorbing handwaving signals in its design, emmanating from the ground, below the craft.

The alien sheilding the stealth, is another great take on the “Alien Technology” doing the rounds in the late 70’s early 80’s, where the whole of U.F.O phenonema was an ideal cover for the cover_t designs….or was it the fact aliens were the driving force?…or was it..eh! …. transmission ends.

The last patch is definately:Did Nasa go to the really moon?

This is, perhaps, the single greatest post I have yet read in all of blogland.

Don’t let that comment get to your heads, as I only read three blogs. Nonetheless…..
