Was Stalin behind the Roswell UFOs?
The Week ^ | May 17, 2011

Posted on 05/18/2011 10:03:41 AM PDT by EveningStar

UFO conspiracy theorists may be in for a letdown. A new book — Area 51 by Annie Jacobsen — says no alien spacecraft crashed to Earth in the famous so-called Roswell Incident of 1947. According to Britain's Telegraph, Jacobsen says the craft that smashed into the desert in a terrible storm was actually a top-secret Soviet plane with "grotesque, child-size aviators" bred in horrific human experiments and sent by Joseph Stalin to create panic in the U.S. Is that possible — or is this story even harder to believe than tales of shipwrecked aliens?

It is as easy to believe as the last “Weather Ballon” story

Seriously- I have met people in the air force (no long retired and gone) who said there was stuff going on - and the daughter of one man who was there who told her everything.

It’s aliens

If it were a Stalin psyop, it would have occurred in a large metropolitan area where there would be lots of witnesses.

Why would you crash it in the middle of nowhere?

The Soviet archives have long been opened. There would have been documented proof of the plot. The Soviets kept excellent records.

I don’t recall hearing this theory before. And I don’t think I’ll buy or read the book.

"And if we can breed grotesque, child-size aviators, we can make the cockpit smaller, which which would free up enough room in this new spy plane to add another 10 gallons of fuel."

The Roswell incident was not the first time such craft have appeared in U.S. skies.

There are instances of space craft appearing overhead in the Mississippi river area during the mid to late 19th century. These events were witnessed by thousands and articles written describing the events were printed in local newspapers of the day.

Please don’t post the family reunion photos. Grandma copyrighted them.

That "area" covers Minnesota to New Orleans. Must have been awfully big space craft.

Had an eye doctor once who’s husband worked at NASA. I asked her if her husband believed in aliens and her reply was “Everyone he works with believes. He says he’s seen pictures.” And she was being serious.

There is no other explanation. To many weird things surround Roswell.. How the Radio and paper put out that a “flying disk” was found then retracted a day later. Jessie Marcels son says he saw all the artifacts. To much. The government did not want to have mass panic. Plus as usual the government wanted to play with their new found technology.
