>>>People who believe that UFOs are spaceships from another planet don’t really understand how big the universe is.

An astronomer on the History Channel series “The Universe” described the matter in an interesting way. Taking a standard audio compact disc as representing our entire solar system, the diameter of the Earth would represent the Milky Way Galaxy.

>>> I guess you only got to see a handful of “memory metal”

To me the descriptions of the “memory metal” always sounded like silver MYLAR. Unsurprising if found on a wrecked balloon, odd on an interstellar craft though. I’d guess mylar was not well recognized in 1947.

Taking a standard audio compact disc as representing our entire solar system, the diameter of the Earth would represent the Milky Way Galaxy.

It just boggles the mind how large the universe truly is.

Which is why I cannot say there are no such things as UFOs with little green (or grey) men. Just that the evidence of them is sorely unconvincing.

Since Mylar wasn't developed until the early 50's I believe what he saw was a mixture of aluminum foil backed with polyethylene. Pretty flimsy material for trans-universal/time warp travel but excellent for high altitude observation/monitoring balloons .

Your guessing is off-the-wall wrong.

There was NO MYLAR involved.

It appears that a major proportion of the naysayers need some ENGLISH REFRESHER LESSONS:

I realize that the more chronic naysayers tend to have a dreadfully difficult time distinguishing between

DIFFERENT

VS

SAME

but it does make it a lot easier when some of them try.

AND, I realize that the more chronic naysayers have this THING about

OBSESSIVE: GUESSING, PRETEND "SCIENCE-"BY-PROCLAMATION, ADDICTIVE EXTRAPOLATING, ASSUMING, INFERRING . . .

However, all such don't really increase the impressiveness of their proclaimed silliness a shred.

To try again . . . MYLAR is NOT NEAR THE SAME as the thin metalic material JesseAM handled from the real Roswell UFO crash. I don't know that JesseAM wants to bother trying to articulate those differences or not, lo these 60+ years since. However, he has certainly asserted plenty publicly that there's no viable sensible comparison other than the fact that both are very thin and have some metal atoms in them.
