It's wise never to jump to conclusions when analyzing organizational patches and similar items. A lot of completely unrelated insignia share the same design elements (lightning bolts, stars of certain colors, generic aerodynamic shapes, etc.), names such as (Mad Hatters or Dark Knights), and mottoes (Latin or otherwise). A lot of people jump right on something that is labeled "Det. 3" without checking to verify the parent organization as AFFTC (now AFTC). A grouping of six stars doesn't always denote "Area 51." Sometimes the symbolism is obvious to the point of unbelievability and other times it may be entirely cryptic.
