#1 "... specially designed aluminum helmet." I wonder if this could this be the source of the "tin-foil / aluminum foil hat" comment heard so often.

#2 "NZ Hummer" sounds like the name of an old-school rap star from Down Under. His one hit single was, I believe, "Can't Hear This."

#4 New Zealand has a long history of this kind of paranoid speculation.
In the 1985 Kiwi sci-fi movie, This Quiet Earth, something goes wrong at a top secret American-sponsored atmospheric research facility and causes all but three people to disappear from the face of the Earth. This sets up the usual triangular conflict over the one surviving woman. It is really a good movie in many respects, not least for a gratifying view of Alison Routledge's naked bottom.
