Welcome to the viewing room. Well that’s what I think it was anyway. For the floor here was sunken with a balcony around the outside. It’s obviously here that they performed the alien autopsies to an assembled, elevated audience. Or looked at the photographs. Thinking about it, the latter is more likely.

Beware! Beneath that floor lies a surprise. For the whole thing was built on nasty cork titles, under which was a subterranean watery surprise. We could see water where the cork had rotted away.

This was also apparent to the vandals, who’d chucked a sink in there to see if it would fall though. It hadn’t, but looked rather odd in its new home.



2008: The vandals had been busily kicking away the remains of the barriers around the sunken tank.
