re: “Rumor is that a powerful radar set at White Sands disabled the one that crashed at Roswell.”
Who built it?
The lowest bidder on a mil contract?
Where are those contractors based? (It ain’t WS)
And WHY was it out at White Sands - what’s to be “seen” out there? Russians? That far inland? You got BIGGER problems than UFOs at that rate ...
White Sands is a test site. Do you seriously think we’d deploy a radar set to Europe or the arctic without testing it to within an inch of its life well away from prying eyes?
Where better to test it than somewhere you could launch missiles and track them, hmmm? Cape Canaveral with the constant Soviet trawler presence?
IF the rumors are true, AND IF we actually did cause a flying saucer to crash while attempting to track an unknown with our spiffy new radar, it was as much of a surprise to us as it was to them!
