BQ: First steps

Well I'm not entirely sure where to even start with my research on this. It's something that doesn't really have solid facts at all, especially the ones about area 51. I guess for starters i could try the tv series that appear on discovery channel or looking into web pages talking about this subject. I just find this question really hard to research and find credible information on it because there is no reliable proof out the, mostly due to hoax that people play on the world.

Big question

I've always wondered if the rumors about area 51 were true. If they had ufo's and other crazy technoligies. I've also wondered if there if extraterrestrial lif that we know of.

The medium is the message

After watching the movie on Legend of Sleepy Hollow, I found the movie more interesting that the actual story because I need to see more visuals to be deeply drawn into a story. I felt that the story and movie matched together pretty well but in the movie you actually see that Crane is scared away, not taken by the ghost but the towns people belive that he was taken.
