Deathbed Confession Says Aliens Were at Roswell

xnuandax writes "The army's explanation of weather balloons in the Roswell, New Mexico incident 60 years ago has been dealt a serious public relations blow. Late Army Lt. Walter Haut had signed a sealed affidavit prior to his death last year asserting that he had witnessed the wreckage of an egg-shaped craft and its extraterrestrial crew while working at the Roswell Army Air Field. An article at News.com.au reviews how Haut had worked as public relations officer for the Roswell base and was involved in the original weather balloon explanation of events at the time. This recent evidence would seem to confirm speculation that egg-shaped saucers are notoriously difficult to fly safely at low altitude."

We are ready! In fact, it would finally get us to disband NASA and finally start getting a real space program for real uses, not just tests and robots surveyers.
If there is one thing that can make an American get off his fat lazy ass, drop his Doritos and go do something hard and really work for it, it's seeing someone else have something he doesn't.

Joe Sixpack will not abide Xexloi-3 from Alpha Centauri cruising around in a shiny FTL saucer craft while he's stuck with payments on his Earth-bound SUV.

That's the most scientific explanation I've heard since I last farted. I suppose I now understand why stalks stand on 1 leg.

Not at this time, no. Digest this one and I may have more for you.

Re:Nope, humanity is not ready

Suddenly, the foundation and moral code they've all built their life on - is provably false. And therefore...gone. They would go nuts.

Not going to happen. Your assume that these people would logically conclude that their believes are invalidated by the fact that aliens exist. But there is a flaw in your reasoning: you expect critical thinking from people who have never had it. There is already enough facts discovered by humanity to prove that all religions is bullshit yet somehow all religions continue to exist just fine.

yeah buddy, just look at the high civilian death toll in Iraq and Afghanistan and its pretty obvious how trigger happy the US army is

Re:I just don't buy P-51s shooting down a spaceshi

[cc_pirate]

Yeah, that MUST be true, because look at all the F-117s that Saddam managed to shoot down... NOT!

BTW, how many stealth aircraft has YOUR country made? Not a damn one, have they?

You can give criticism when your country manages to build their own fighter aircraft... I won't hold my breath.

The US makes the best fighters in the world by the only criteria that matters, the facts of the number of aircraft lost versus victories in the air and damage on the ground. Everything else is just sour grapes from the whiners...
