Surely a "weather" balloon wouldn't necessitate that kind of secrecy.

No, but a failed flight of a top secret flying object would. It was ours. It's the only scenario that flies...pun intended.

Our flying antigrav craft were not near so far along at that time. But the crashed one was helpful toward our building such.

Though my relative insists some ET's out-right gave us and taught us how to build some craft.

It appears that ya'll skeptics have never had relatives you could believe about serious matters.
