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?

I’ve twice seen something I cannot explain, was absolutely not weather, and I seriously doubt it was us. If it was ‘us’, we ought to be able to win the war on terror handily.

“There are instances of space craft...” this means plural events NOT one huge space craft.

Must have been an awful lot of plural events to cover 2300+ miles.

There were no real flying craft at the time, except for balloons. The news articles of the day described self-propelled metallic aircraft.

The Mississippi river drainage is huge. But a flying craft would have been difficult to miss as it would have been unique and startling to observers of the time and the same craft could have been seem by many from different vantages.

Steam-driven trains from that time are known to have traveled a couple hundred miles overnight on flat prairie land. No reason a space craft couldn’t have explored the primitive industrialized areas of the Midwest in the 19th century and be easily seen.

After all, what did the aliens have to fear; we didn’t have deadly rockets or missiles at that time in our history. The atomic bomb changed all that.

Oh yeah, those "primitive industrialized areas" were definitely big attractions for UFOs.
Just like today - aliens invent incredibly advanced technologies, travel light years to get here, then only reveal themselves to the people you see in Swamp Men.

Ask decorated Iraq war veteran, freeper Dr. Jesse Marcel Jr., his father was head of security at the first nuclear facility in the United States, Roswell New Mexico.

As we know from his eyewitness account, “the small I-Beam like shaped object and the thin metal (skin?) fragments” that his father brought home to show the family. And the next day told them that "it was a non-event and never to be spoken of again"!

(Note to Qx: please correct any errors in my above comment, thanks.)

Wife and I saw some “lights” in the skies over AZ late one night. Whatever they were when they “took off” they were traveling at the speed of light or faster. WHOOOOSH! And they were gone!

Like you said, if this stuff is ours we should be ruling the world.

Thanks EveningStar.

Once again, the skepticultists hoax up a phony explanation less credible that that a UFO crashed at Roswell.
