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?"

    de-classified documents from the Roswell military base ... contain no entries of unusual events or activity.

    No, really?

    When you're battling religious-type beliefs that don't have any hard evidence anyway, producing contrary evidence doesn't help clarify the matter in their minds.

    UFO conspiracy theorists will go to their graves believing that the government is hiding alien spacecraft, and no amount of factual information will convince them otherwise.
