         I have been reading the Skunk Work books a lot, and   
   not much mention of Groom Lake or Area 51 is made, it   
   is just called the test site, but the number of buildings   
   hauled in and reassembled is surprising.   
      
         The book by Ben Rich and Leo Janus is really   
   frustrating me with internal inconsistencies with   
   dates of events.   
      
         Maybe it was a dirty trick fate played on me, allowing   
   me to invent stealth shapes, either a little before or a   
   little after Lockheed.   
      
         From what I gather from the books, not stated by   
   any author, just reading between the lines, it seems   
   the Lockheed D-21 Drone was the basis for starting   
   the program that ended up as "Have Blue".   
      
         I don't know how they shifted to all flat surfaces,   
   but I know I mailed in a patent application before   
   they did, my art was based on theory and was very   
   comprehensive from the start, while all they seemed   
   to know was flat faceted surfaces.   
      
         I have over a thousand pages of patent office   
   documentation, about 10 times what Lockheed   
   needed, they had a lawyer, I needed one.
