  This was absolutely hilarious. I am a little worried for their safety now though. Americans don’t tend to be very fond of people mocking them, or exposing them for all the BS they pull. I’d be quite unsurprised if I see an article in a week that one or all of them have mysteriously:

  • walked into the bush never to be seen again
  • overdosed
  • jumped off a bridge or balcony
  • despite never owning a gun, somehow dying of “self inflicted” gunshot wounds to the back of the head
  • vanishing for a year before suddenly returning and never speaking of pine gap or America again

    Yes, scary stuff. Americans running around rent free here, I reckon they could get away with that BS and we would be none the wiser.

  Finally got around to watching it - really interesting stuff.

  Maybe the AFP just wanted to have a chat to check if it was their ball before returning it?

    The optimist in me reckons everytime the AFP interacted with them was for the return of the missing soccer ball.

    Scenario 1: “Hey mate, can you come down to the sati-” call ends “Crap, how are we gonna return the ball now?” 😮

    Scenario 2: “Hey mate, we got you off the plane for-” “Sorry, can’t talk without our lawyer.” walks away “B-but, we just wanted to return your ball…” 😥

      The second officer they spoke to at Pine Gap seemed like bit of legend so maybe not outside of possibility
