Fort Balkley
This is either a hoax or uncontextualized fiction. If the fictional context exists and can be found, I suppose this would be worth saving; if not, it should be deleted. &#8212;Charles P. (Mirv) 13:51, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The Google results for "Fort Balkley" are mostly copies of this article.
 * The government of British Columbia is unaware of any "Isla de Santiago" in the province. (There's a St. James Island at 51.93333°N, -131.01667°W, but that's way out in the Queen Charlotte Islands&mdash;considerably more than 54 miles north of Vancouver Island, and across about 100 miles of open water. Besides which, George Dixon named the adjacent Cape Saint James in the 1780s, so it's quite reasonable to assume that he named the island too.) It also has no record of a town called Villa Romana, but I suppose that's because the records were erased from public knowledge.
 * There is no record of any separate species of hominid (notice how its scientific name is not given) being found in British Columbia.
 * "Balkley" appears nowhere on the JPL website.
 * Searches on the supposed references turn up nothing but this article and copies thereof.
