Bill D -

Ever try to walk up and "bang" on a jet...
You aren't going to get far trying.

Unfortunately the phenomenon is worldwide and some reports a la Roswell tend to give the conspiracy theorists more hints that there is a cover up.

Through several decades of asking, pleading, begging and just plain FOIAing the military, CIA, DIA, NSA and FBI to death, there had been more and more information coming out about the incident. Instead of just keeping their mouths shut they have continued to release new "Final Investigations" which try to explain the incident and all of it's evidenciary items.

TO recap: Army guy tells press "we captured saucer". Different witnesses claim strange metals, little green men, etc. etc.

Gov't Responses: 1. Never happened it was a weather balloon, debris was from a radar reflector (reconstruction was two squares set on point and combined to create a near 3D diamond shape like used today in navigation shapes).
2. Strange metal was foil like used on Hershey bar wrappers (I guess no-one in Roswell had ever had a Hershey's chocolate bar).
3. Strange markings on metal were just pink markings on tape used to hold foil to reflector structure (strange that there was no-one in 40 some odd years of using the stuff that ever made that connection before).
4. More debris than our radar reflector theory covers - we continued such tests for a long time and debris built up (all the tests ended with crashes in the same area.
5. Little Green Men were human dummies from a high altitude parachute test (that didn't occur until six years after Roswell and I guess the witnesses had never seen one of them thar high fangled manakins before (lets not get into the fact that witnesses said "little" and the manakins were six foot tall).

People keep asking and they keep reporting themselves into a smaller corner.
