Roswell Declassified
John3 writes "Scotland may be the most popular UFO destination on the planet, but Roswell, New Mexico is the old favorite for government conspiracy buffs who believe the US government has been hiding proof of an alien spacecraft crash in 1947. Popular Mechanics has recently gained access to de-classified documents from the Roswell military base, and they contain no entries of unusual events or activity. I wonder if the release of these documents will deter the conspiracy theorists?"
The Truth Is Out There... And besides... I Want To Believe ;-)
Any technology distinguishable from magic, is insufficiently advanced.
Nothing was declassified. Its all a big cover-up that the government is doing to hide the fact that George Bush is an infested Terran.
When I was an undergrad, all my CS profs (some people in math, too) at UCSC got hand-written letters from this fellow, who happened to be in prison, claiming that he was recieving encoded, telepathic transmissions from the spider-like aliens who had landed at Roswell. He couldn't understand them, and he wanted help "decoding" the transmissions.
Fortunately, we can reassure the fellow that no such aliens exist, now that we have a crate full of declassified documents. This must be a great relief to all of the countries paranoid schizophrenics. I bet hardly any of the text has been blacked out!
The good and new comes from no quarter where it is looked for, and is always something different from what is expected.
I suspect that once the world is dominated by one country, one culture, one affinity, that we will actually know the truth.
Ah, so the aliens brought weapons and Hollywood?
All generalizations are false, including this one. (Mark Twain)
Destroy the conspiracy theories? I think not!
You guys just all wait untill the Bildeberg Group unleashes Space Gozilla to finally rid us of the Nazi UFO's! Then we will all know who killed JFK and you puny mortals will finally believe that the Moon Landings were all a hoax!
Give up on conspiracy theories? Yeah right!

Conspiracy theorists all work for the government. Don't listen to them.
During the 1990s, the time limits on keeping Cold War-era records began to expire.
And thus the Ministry of Truth went into overdrive, scrambling to correct everything before its final release...
The coolest voice ever.
The theory that the earth is flat can be disproved; the theory that aliens have infiltrated the highest levels of government can't be disproved.
I don't understand the difference between those two. How is it that you can prove the earth is flat but yet can't prove the goverment has been infiltrated by aliens?
For example, how do you know that all the aliens in the government aren't faking all the evidence for the round earth? For all we know, all the evidence is just an illusion that is sustained by drugs the goverment puts in the drinking water.
irÂreÂgardÂless ( P ) Pronunciation Key (r-gÃrdls)
adv. Nonstandard
Regardless.
[Probably blend of irrespective, and regardless.]
Usage Note: Irregardless is a word that many mistakenly believe to be correct usage in formal style, when in fact it is used chiefly in nonstandard speech or casual writing. Coined in the United States in the early 20th century, it has met with a blizzard of condemnation for being an improper yoking of irrespective and regardless and for the logical absurdity of combining the negative ir- prefix and -less suffix in a single term. Although one might reasonably argue that it is no different from words with redundant affixes like debone and unravel, it has been considered a blunder for decades and will probably continue to be so.
Having read the first few posts on this story, do you consider your question answered?
NO answer from the government, nor indeed from anybody will quiet the conspiracy theorists:
"Yeah, like you'd release the REAL documents rather than these forgeries!"
"SURE that's all the info you had - see, we told you there were hiding something, and they still are!"
"Have any aliens landed on Earth before this?"
"No, that is completely forbidden under our laws."
"SURE nobody else landed here - YOU ARE COVERING IT UP!"
"Perhaps we jumped the gun on your societal evolution...."

And you call me a kook? Haha!
What a coincidence - so are the highest levels of government.

These documents are from Area 57... they just whited out the horizontal part of the 7 so you THINK they are real!!!

HOLY FUCKING SHIT! UFO landed today!!! Aliens look like Gumby dolls with big heads!!! Jesus, they're ugly!
As if this shit isn't enough, there's some guy hanging around all day smoking cigarettes like they're going to be illegal tomorrow. He says he's "in charge". Whatever. I'm out in two months anyway.
Also found: Advanced weaponry, an anti-gravitational drive, a cure for cancer, and alien porn! It's revolting, but I'm strangely aroused.
NSA ADDENDUM: Please strike all this shit out. This is supposed to be a secret. Cpt. Anderson, please see me.
Well, slow day here today. Nothing happened, nope, no sirree, not a bit, quiet here, yup, quiiieeeeet.
Chr0m0Dr0m!C
The "Morning Reports" indicate that nothing happened. Of course no staff duty log or "Morning Report" would contain any classified information. If something was accidently added, that log would have been rewritten within a day. The governement change their story the next day. What would keep them from changing any daily logs?!?
These documents only prove the the government is still trying to hide something!!
Everyone else is nuts for believing EVERYTHING the government tells them!!
Oh no!! They've come for me....
Go not unto/. for advice, for you will be told both yea and nay (but have nothing to do with the question)
No, but I can prove conclusively that if they are aliens, they're not advanced aliens.

I really hope you don't mean the U.S. country/culture owning the world. They may try but they don't know that canada has a secret army stashed away in the rockies and a secret moonbase death star. You will all become Canadian. Muhahahaha!

What if the bible had a disclaimer:
The following text was made up by a bunch of drunk pimps in the desert who one day decided to become rich and powerfull by starting a religion. This text is not true though it may be based on "some" historical fact. The content of this book does not reflect the views and/or beliefs of the publisher, merely those of the author/conartist.

Also note that there is no Egyptian record of the Jewish people ever being enslaved by them, and then freed by Moses, despite the fact that Egyptians also kept meticulous records.Since we're on the topic of conspiracy theories(or at least supposed to be) I should point out that the egyptians covered it up, because the jew's escape embarrased them.

Forget flatlanders. A much more significant percentage believes that this planet is directly ruled by an invisible, omnipotent old man that sits on a cloud in the sky...
It was the Ferengi!
That is a lie!
It was Zoidberg.
Hank! White!
Bush government made up stories of weapons of mass destruction to justify starting the war with Iraq (2003).
Releasing documents that have no evidence of alien activity could be just another layer of conspiracy/coverup... at least that's what we conspiracy theorists would say ;)
