sarcasm?
I thought it was common knowledge that Roswell was a crashed 'spy balloon'--one of hundreds being used to monitor the Russians.
Sure it was.
It is...for those willing to accept the facts. It was a balloon used to monitor Russian nuclear tests and the crash was hushed-up for national security reasons: no point in letting the enemy know how we were "listening-in."
This Roswell thing amuses me no end. I'm old enough to remember the actual incident (I was young at the time). I've always been interested in the possibility of extraterrestrial visitors and have followed the story over the years. The myth grows and grows with layer upon layer of newly-invented "detail," as folks cash in on human gullibility. It's a bonanza for the town of Roswell and Hollywood entrepreneurs.
