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?"

Nothing will ever satisfy them

I honestly believe that you could take a conspiracy theorist to the moon and show them the footprints, they would say they were faked by a sophisticated robot.

Talking to them only makes them come up with even stupider theories. The only way to win against them is not to play their game.

you skeptics amaze me...

Something crashed there. The government covered it up. How many times have they [the government] lied about it? First it was a weather balloon. Nobody bought it. Then, scientists on the government dole came out in the early 90s and said it was a secret program to use balloons to monitor potential atomic testing by the U.S.S.R. Nobody bought that excuse either. Then, the Air Force said the *alien bodies* were actually dummies used in testing human conditions at high altitudes (ie. ejecting at high altitudes), yet the tests didn't start for 5 plus years AFTER the *Roswell Incident.* Read frikkin' Chuck Yeager's autobiography for chriss sakes. He writes about how the military had plans for military installations on the Moon AND Mars and the military brass were so cheesed off when NASA was created. Since when does the military take no for an answer to anything? I think the quote from Senator Goldwater on Hanger 18 is indicative of the "conspiracy." He was asked what was inside the infamous hanger, and he said never to ask that question to him again. There maybe a lot of nuts in the conspiracy industry, but you skeptics are the *Planters Peanuts* of the bunch. You people may know how to code Linux, but you certainly don't know your history. Crack open a book and you'll see that our country was born from a conspiracy, not the quest for democracy. Sheesh...
