And he's like, what is that?

The Why Files: Operation Podcast

I said...

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
The Basement: Luigi Vendittelli | S4: The Man Who Reconstructed Area 51's Secret Hangar

He goes, no.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast

He goes, they're just plates on the perimeter, like on the surface, but it's hollow inside.

And that there's... You don't see it in the film, but imagine a two-foot diameter, four-foot trash can.

There's a pipe.

It's one of the wave guides that goes into it because it allows it to swivel and all that.

But what I found really interesting is...

And he had even mentioned it in the past, and I remember he said, that waveguide goes into the emitter and protrudes about, I don't know, about a foot into the emitter.

And I remember thinking, why would it do that?

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
The Basement: Luigi Vendittelli | S4: The Man Who Reconstructed Area 51's Secret Hangar

And it makes perfect sense.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
The Basement: Luigi Vendittelli | S4: The Man Who Reconstructed Area 51's Secret Hangar

Why?

The Why Files: Operation Podcast

Because when the, I don't have anything that's cylindrical here, but imagine a cylinder.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast

is suspended by a pipe on the ceiling of the bottom level.

And the cylinder can swivel at a 90 degree.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
The Basement: Luigi Vendittelli | S4: The Man Who Reconstructed Area 51's Secret Hangar

The top of the ceiling, and this is here, and there's like a pipe holding it, as soon as it swivels, the pipe's not long enough for it to swivel at 90 degrees.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast

It's going to hit...

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
The Basement: Luigi Vendittelli | S4: The Man Who Reconstructed Area 51's Secret Hangar

The top.

The Why Files: Operation Podcast
The Basement: Luigi Vendittelli | S4: The Man Who Reconstructed Area 51's Secret Hangar

Right.
