#2 It would be fun to be in charge of making fake stuff to leave for satellite images. The way we had inflatable tanks to fool the Nazi's we should totally have inflatable x-wings, and small cruise ships and whatever to turn the 'believers' into laughing stocks.

#4 There was a short lived tv show (1995), Space: Above and Beyond. They made mockups of full scale 'hammerhead' craft. The fabrication plant was near the freighter docks. Seems some Russian 'seamen' were caught photographing it. :)

#5 Heard a funny Cold War story about a spy sat that had been watching Russian subs tied up along a pier. After a big storm, one of the 'subs' appeared to be folded in half. Doh!
