And Then I Opened That Door

We had heard stories relating to those years Inquisitive young minds we were, guessing so bold Told of images so alien that would scare our inner fears As a young boy growing up, answers we were never told Going through college, working hard reaching University Aeronautical Science my quest, my graduation achieved Boeing to Northrop, the B-2's stealth was down to me I'm now with the USAF, Edwards Air Force Base received Now I'm where I am, thinking back to those years ago Inquisitive young minds we were, guessing so bold Clearance I have, for inside me desires to know Maybe it's about time, that our nation should be told I'm in area 51, and then I opened that door The stories I now see true, they've been to our shores . 20/06/2015

by the way, did you ever see that movie with a similar name? I think it was called Area 51, or something like that, and it took place somewhere in Africa.An amazing sci fi movie.

I think it would be cool to see aliens. GREAT fantasy to have and I like how you used this theme to fulfill the door challenge. Good thinking, James. (is any of it real?)
