      That article is hilarious:

      A non-commissioned officer found the machines almost by chance, only a few years ago, in a secret room at the Spanish Ministry of Defence in Madrid.
      "Nobody entered there because it was very secret," says Felix Sanz, the director of Spain's intelligence service.
      And one day somebody said 'Well if it is so secret, perhaps there is something secret inside.'
      It's like a scene from Blackadder.
