Here is something you can throw in the "Life imitating art file":
I was watching a show on UFOs a couple weeks ago when the guest being interviewed was a supposed "expert" on where the U.S. government is technologically on advanced artificial gravity propulsion systems. Take this with a grain of salt but I think a Battlestar Galactica fan will find this interesting or humorous.
Affter showing various still and video pictures of various U.S. Air Force craft that are supposedly power by artificial gravity including a modified B-2 Stealth Bomber the guest went on to state that the U.S. Air Force has an extremely large weapons platform that dwarfs known aircraft in size and can operate both within the Earth's atmosphere and beyond it. He stated that among those familiar with the craft within the U.S. Air Force and UFO community it is informally referred to as:
"The American Battlestar"
It sure would be funny if some sort of black project comes to light down the road and as a result of Battlestar Galactica the weapons end up being called Battlestars in reality.
