The Air Force held a press conference on June the 24th, 1997 with the hopes of putting an end to the Roswell controversey. The new report follows up on a 1995 Air Force study saying that debris recovered near Roswell, N.M., was connected with Project Mogul, a top-secret operation to use weather balloons and radar equipment to monitor Soviet nuclear blasts. That report, however; failed to address the lingering questions about alien bodies recovered at the crash. Among this new report’s conclusions: The alien bodies observed in the New Mexico desert were "probably" test dummies that were carried aloft by U.S. Air Force high-altitude balloons for scientific research. The Air Force clearly states the title of this report as "The Roswell Report: Case Closed." If the case is closed, then why "probably" test dummies? Doesn't sound to definitive to me.

I have, as you can imagine, some other problems with the credibility of this report. The crash-test dummies were used from 1954 to 1959 in the New Mexico desert, while the Roswell crash happened in July 1947. The Air Force would like us to believe that witnesses simply got their dates confused. But by ten years? I don't think so. Not to mention that these dummies were up to 6' feet tall. |
The Air Force also tried to dazzle us with film footage of Defense projects that contained vehicles and payloads that did, I absolutely admit, resemble our common interpretation of the "flying saucer". But, what the Air Force failed to bring to attention was the fact that the film footage they were showing was actually from the 1970,s. So now we're 25 years after the fact. Are you following this?
This was obviously just an eleventh hour attempt to try and silence all this alien mania that seems to be sweeping the nation. Some 50,000 people arrived in Roswell over the 4th of July weekend of 1997. All this report accomplished was to make the Government look more suspicious and incompetent than usual.
