Where the hell were you last night?!

[GoldenRivet]

You’ve all heard of the Air Force’s ultra-high-security, super-secret base in Nevada, known simply as “Area 51″?

Well, late one afternoon, the Air Force folks out at Area 51 were very surprised to see a Cessna landing at their “secret” base. They immediately surrounded the airplane with MPs and impounded the aircraft and hauled the pilot into a tiny concrete cell interrogation room.

The pilot’s story was that he took off from Las Vegas, got lost, and spotted the Base just as he was running out of fuel, with the engine sputtering he landed with an emergency. The Air Force started a full FBI/CIA/NSA background check on the pilot and held him overnight during the investigation.

By the next day, they were finally convinced that the pilot really was lost and wasn’t a spy or suspicious person. They gassed up his airplane, gave him a terrifying “you-did-not-see-a-base and you were never here” briefing, complete with threats of spending the rest of his life in prison, made him sign non-disclosure statements and told him Vegas was that-a-way on such and such a heading, and sent him on his way.

The next day, to the total disbelief of the Air Force personnel on the airbase, the same Cessna showed up again. Once again, the MP’s surrounded the plane… only this time there were two people in the plane.

The same pilot jumped out with his hands up and said, "You guys can do anything you want to me... but my wife is in the plane and you have to tell her where I was last night!"
