  • Couldnt tell you, i wasnt born much less there
  • A government coverup.
  • Flying f...ing saucers- that's what !
  • An experimental spy balloon crashed, and being top secret, the government covered it up as a weather balloon crash. All the alien stuff the public comes up with just helps the government to keep it a secret.

  • On July 8, 1947, the Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF) issued a press release stating that personnel from the field's 509th Bomb Group had recovered a crashed "flying disc" from a ranch near Roswell, sparking intense media interest. Later the same day, the Commanding General of the Eighth Air Force stated that, in fact, a weather balloon had been recovered by RAAF personnel, rather than a "flying saucer."[1] A subsequent press conference was called, featuring debris said to be from the crashed object that seemed to confirm the weather balloon description. The case was quickly forgotten and almost completely ignored, even by UFO researchers, for more than 30 years. Then, in 1978, ufologist Stanton T. Friedman interviewed Major Jesse Marcel, who was involved with the original recovery of the debris in 1947. Marcel expressed his belief that the military had covered up the recovery of an alien spacecraft. His story circulated through UFO circles, being featured in some UFO documentaries at the time.[2] In February 1980, The National Enquirer ran its own interview with Marcel, garnering national and worldwide attention for the Roswell incident. Additional witnesses and reports emerged over the following years. They added significant new details, including claims of a large military operation dedicated to recovering alien craft and aliens themselves, at as many as 11 crash sites,[2] and alleged witness intimidation. In 1989, former mortician Glenn Dennis put forth a detailed personal account, wherein he claimed that alien autopsies were carried out at the Roswell base.[3] In response to these reports, and after congressional inquiries, the General Accounting Office launched an inquiry and directed the Office of the Secretary of the Air Force to conduct an internal investigation. The result was summarized in two reports. The first, released in 1995, concluded that the reported recovered material in 1947 was likely debris from a secret government program called Project Mogul.[4] The second report, released in 1997, concluded that reports of recovered alien bodies were likely a combination of innocently transformed memories of military accidents involving injured or killed personnel, and the recovery of anthropomorphic dummies in military programs like Project High Dive conducted in the 1950s, and hoaxes perpetrated by various witnesses and UFO proponents. The psychological effects of time compression and confusion about when events occurred explained the discrepancy with the years in question. These reports were dismissed by UFO proponents as being either disinformation or simply implausible, though significant numbers of UFO researchers discount the probability that any alien crash was in fact involved On June 14, 1947 William "Mac" Brazel noticed some strange debris while working on the Foster ranch, where he was foreman, some 30 miles north of Roswell. This exact date (or "about three weeks" before July 8) is a point of contention[8] but is repeated in several initial accounts, in particular the stories that quote Brazel and in a telex sent a few hours after the story broke quoting Sheriff George Wilcox (who Brazel first contacted). However, the initial press release from the Roswell Army Air Field said the find was "sometime last week," suggesting Brazel found the debris in early July.[9] Brazel told the Roswell Daily Record that he and his son saw a "large area of bright wreckage made up of rubber strips, tinfoil, a rather tough paper and sticks." He paid little attention to it but returned on July 4 with his son, wife and daughter to gather up the material.[10] Some accounts have described Brazel as having gathered some of the material earlier, rolling it together and stashing it under some brush.[11] The next day, Brazel heard reports about "flying discs" and wondered if that was what he had picked up. On July 7, Brazel saw Sheriff Wilcox and "whispered kinda confidential like" that he may have found a flying disc.[10] Another account quotes Wilcox as saying that Brazel reported the object on July 6.[9] Sheriff Wilcox called Roswell Army Air Field. Major Jesse Marcel and a "man in plainclothes" accompanied Brazel back to the ranch where more pieces were picked up. "[We] spent a couple of hours Monday afternoon [July 7] looking for any more parts of the weather device", said Marcel. "We found a few more patches of tinfoil and rubber."[12] They then attempted to reassemble the object, but Brazel said they could not. Marcel took the debris to Roswell Army Air Field the next morning. As described in the July 9, 1947, edition of the Roswell Daily Record, SOUCRE- HTTP//WWW.WIKIPIDEA.COM
  • As it happens, my partner is the nephew of the scientist who was responsible for the incident (or something like that). Anyway, it was just a weather monitor of some sort.
  • A balloon which carried a radio device with antennas came down in a field near Roswell outside the base where it was supposed to have come down. It was a surveillance balloon. It was being tested. It could have been struck by lightening..whatever. Anyway the Air Force was involved in picking up the pieces and retrieving the radio/antennas. Some locals got confused and thought something sinister or "extra-terrestrial" was going on. It wasn't. There were some pieces of the balloon that were picked up by locals on their property. The Air Force were asking people to just give them anything they found and not talk it around. This escalated into a "Top Secret Alien Space Crash!!!" It was not handled well. The thing was not as "top secret" as some AF second Lt's and two-stripers may have imagined it was. People were confused and everything got blown out of proportion. That is the truth. You can think what you want to. Nobody ever saw any "small humanoid bodies" being whisked "secretly" into the local clinic. It never happened. This was all invented or imagined after the fact...long after. An airman had been injured in an accident on the base and brought to the local clinic,...but it was not serious, nor did it have anything to do with the balloon, nor was it even on the same day. Roswell is just another "War of the World's" thing as in the Orson Wells radio show that caused such a panic not that many years before. Actually nobody even heard anything about it until about 1954 or after. Some story got started around by who knows who that a "flying saucer" had crashed near Roswell in '47...or sometime near that...Come on folk's, let's get real.
  • I don't know..our esteemed government loves to keep info away from us..that's why they have their code words, closed door meetings, and spy organizations. I'm guessing it would be agonizing for we the people to know the truth about any of the various nefarious crap that goes on in the name of "protecting" our citizens. :(
  • Let us say that you were 40 years old in 1947. World War II started about 6 years ago. You were to old to be drafted. You were to old to enlist. You are a fairly poor, uneducated, rural person. You live way out in the deserets of the southwest. The US drops the bomb in Japan. The US wins the war. Everyone celebrates. The military wants to test new methods of delivery of its newest bombs. The military wants to test its new jets where no one will see them. The military thinks the deserts of the southwest is the perfect place for both. One of the planes, or one of the delivery methods crashes. Or, one of their survellance devices crashes. Someone finds something, the story goes out that it is little green men from somewhere else. The military does not have to cover up anything. They just let the folks have a good time and the military sits back and laughs.
