Along the lines of hidden government tech - I had a nice career in the Air Force, doing all manner of classified things. Mostly in the ICBM/nuclear field. One of my good friends, who I worked with, separated and went to work civilian at the Air Force Research Lab at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. He NEVER told me what he did there. I just know it was some secret squirrel SAP type stuff.
Well, one evening he had apparently been drinking heavily and we were talking on the phone (about fantasy football). The topic of conversation shifted to what we were both doing at work these days. He then hit me with a whopper. He said "PokeyJoe, I am working at a place that has mastered teleportation technology. Like, Beam me up Scotty type stuff." These were his exact words. Once he said that I think he realized what he said, and that we were on a regular phone line, and he quickly said something that didnt really make sense and hung up the phone. This was almost 10 years ago and what he said has stuck with me since then. I think he was telling me the truth. Its not like I solicited the info, and he just blurted it out. No way I can prove it, but interesting nonetheless.
