They are clueless.
And it’s mystifying how they could supposedly research such a book and still end up so clueless.
1953 is WELL after 1947 . . . even for clueless folks.
“They are clueless.”
Perhaps you need to look in a mirror before insulting anyone else.
You keep insisting that Jesse Marcel Jr was 11 years old in July 1947 ( as Jesse himself apparently once mis-spoke ), and you haven’t even bothered to check on Jesse’s birth-date, as I have. He was 10.
I also took the time to read multiple books and articles on Roswell, and came to what for me is a very definite conclusion: it was not extraterrestrial debris. I am no longer in doubt as I once was. I am grateful to Jesse Marcel Jr, with whom I respectfully disagree, for causing me to educate myself on this subject.
I don’t trust any so-called “facts” you assert, because your many uncalled-for ad-hominem attacks imply to me a deep emotional need to believe that aliens crashed at Roswell; which unfortunately reminds me most of Al Gore defending global warming. A safe rule is a person making personal insults is usually trying to compensate for a lack of facts.
There is not the slightest credible evidence that alien life forms were ever found at Roswell, so whether or not Mogul dummies were in use in 1947 seems quite irrelevant.
Neither Jesse Marcel Jr, nor his father, who was a good military intelligence officer, ever claimed to have seen any alien life form. There’s no doubt the Top Secret Mogul balloon was in use in 1947, and in my opinion it is very clear one of them crashed near Roswell, NM, and was honestly misperceived by the Marcels, father and son.
Personally I would actually much prefer that aliens did crash at Roswell, but my reason strongly tells me otherwise.
