    The Alien Building at the USAF Pilot Academy [Architecture]

    When I first saw these photos I thought it was some kind of secret military energy generator, an antimatter weapon, proof that an UFO crashed at Roswell, or perhaps a device to communicate with other galaxies. I wasn't that wrong. More » United States Air Force - United States -...
