While I have other things to occupy my time than debunking GUEST,pdc's links, I did check the first factoid I came across in that article: the commander of the 50th Space Wing, a unit which controls observation satellites, is Colonel Suzanne M. Vautrinot, and she has held that assignment since well before that article was written. "Tungston Rods from Space?" A feature of science fiction since at least the 1940s.
