Roswell and its controvery?

I think there is a lot more to it than we'll probably ever know..\n\nNotice how much technology has evolved since 1947....and how quickly, compared to how many years, we've actually been here...\n\nLast I heard though, they'd moved Roswell, to about 4 different locations....colorado, utah, wyoming, and arizona...

Who knows, probably. I think they've been using the crop circles for navigation. We'll probably never know since the government is so secretive on this topic (Roswell, Area 51).

Whilst fundamentally flawed, your argument does touch on an important issue of propaganda, - the dis/misinformation aspect of cover-ups.\neg Roswell. I personally don't believe aliens are here on Earth, but the 'alien autopsy' story meant the conspiracy theorists of the time were chasing their own tails, looking for signs of alien/Pentagon conspiracies, and hence, were not actually investigating what the Pentagon was doing on a more terrestial level, and the US ended up in Korea!\nSome conspiracy theories simply are smoke and mirrors, however, some really are conspiracies, by governments and their civil servants. \neg In the UK, Hansard shows that the British government was lying to its citizens, and to the House of Commons, stating an anti-nuclear profileration appraoach, whilst selling Israel the heavy water it needed for its nuclear programme. By the time the documents are declassified, everyone involved is dead and ergo, beyond prosecution.

There is a woman scientist now exploring an indentation of rock (forget where) who claims there is evidence that just about everything, including and especially human beings, are from outer space.  She has been denied funding repeatedly, she says, because of bias and religious protection.  I wish I could recall the name of the show...it was on The Discovery Channel about a month ago.  Pretty interesting premise for those of us that do not subscribe to the available written texts concerning how life came to be on this planet.  Honestly tho, I don't think we will know any time soon.  In the case that the major religions are wrong, everything we know would be upturned and there would most likely be chaos among all people.  Maybe it's better if we're left to wonder.

The US government will tell the truth about contact with extraterrestrials when it actually happens.\nNow go put your tinfoil hat back on.

"...From my own intelligence work within the military, I can say WITH ALL CERTAINTY that one of the main reasons the public has been kept in total darkness about the reality of UFOs and 'aliens', is that the truth of the matter actually exists TOO CLOSE TO HOME TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT.  How could a spokesman for the Pentagon dare admit that five or ten thousand feet underground EXISTS AN ENTIRE WORLD THAT IS 'FOREIGN' TO A BELIEF STRUCTURE WE HAVE HAD FOR CENTURIES? How could, for example, our fastest bomber be any challenge to those aerial invaders when we can only guess about the routes they take to the surface; eluding radar as they fly so low, headed back to their underground lair?"\n\n"...the 'Greys' or the 'EBEs' have established a fortress, spreading out to other parts of the U.S. via means of a vast underground tunnel system THAT HAS VIRTUALLY EXISTED BEFORE RECORDED HISTORY..."\n\n--Milton (William) Cooper, ex-Naval Intelligence officer

I watched this on the History Channel so I think that it's pretty reliable. During World War II Germany was losing so it thought that the making of an object that could be hard to detect and fast as well would help them win. They didn't finish in time and of course lost. Russia and the US got a hold of these plans. During the Cold War the US believed that it needed to get an advantage over Russia and continued Germany's plans of the aircraft they were trying to build. The whole Roswell incident was supposedly one of these tests for UFOs that the government had made. There's even a book called "HITLER'S FLYING SAUCERS: A Guide To German Flying Discs Of The Second World War".

Your theory on aliens being earthlings from the future is absolutely plausible. I am not by any means convinced of aliens visiting us but I have followed area 51 since I was 15 years old which was a long time ago. The original stories and my technical knowledge of the time told me that it was a hoax but thought the years with the "Right to know" act being passed, government documents have been released through the years that have proved the government wasnt telling the total truth. For instance, a young physicist named Bob Lazar told the public that he was hired by the government to reverse engineer something that was at area 51. The government denied that he ever worked there. Years later it was found that this fellow actually worked there. I didnt let it sway me too much but recently a retired General who originally had the job of reverse engineering early Russian planes wrote a book about it. He claims that he was moved to area 51 to start the reverse engineering of this so called space craft. He states that many of the things we use today are a direct byproduct of his teams findings such as desktop pcs.... lasers that can burn through 1 inch steel, passive night vision and so on. The most interesting thing he said though was the fact that they found these aliens weren't aliens at all but from our future! He said that they navigated time by simply exiting the space time continuum and reentering it elsewhere in time. The thing that baffles me is in the past 20 years our technology has exploded. I also wonder why all of our air weapons have been released and sold to other countries such as the stealth bomber and fighter planes. We must be sitting on something big!

everyone knows about ufo's, its not like its a big secrete. i dont see why our government is hideing all this from us cause the sceptics will still be sceptics, plus we would trust our government more because theyre telling us things finally

Think about it, kiddo. Do you know how far we are from the nearest star? It would take generations of alien pilots on an uncertain journey to reach Earth. \n\nInterstellar flight is impractical, especially since they would have no way of knowing we would even be here.\n\nWhat you "came to know" was just another conspiracy theory pumped out by UFOLOGISTS or, as they are more commonly known, morons. \n\nUnless you see physical evidence of something so implausible, then you're just wasting your life on this stuff.

If UFO's were not real..why would the government have top secret classification for them?..they exist..and it is getting harder every day for certain governments of this world to continue to play this charade..There are thousands of wittnesses a year..there is a motive behind the "secret" and after being wittness for 30 years to governments and to UFOs..I would say that the reason its all being played this way is for the selfish greedy leaders to benifit and keep the control of people.  Think about it...all of a sudden we learn the truth...we are not alone..and we are NOT intelligent..but we find these aliens are very very smart..does that not begin to change our perspectives? Who do we start to listen too?...Who would have more control?..Who would lose out? \nSo we find these aliens and they are friendly and peaceful (part of being intelligent). That would pose a bigger threat to certain governments. The easiest way to control people is to keep them uneducated and to keep them in fear.

Damn government and their conspiracies! The reason for Mulder's drive in the show is because his sister was abducted in 1973 and his goal is to find her. This incident sparks his interest in the paranormal (was his sister abducted by aliens?). The government and the Syndicate is constantly trying to either help Mulder with something that will benefit them or prevent him from exposing a truth the government has been keeping from its people. If you don't know what the syndicate is...\n\nA pure embodiment of the "shadow government" of conspiracy theory lore, the Syndicate was comprised of secretly allied, high-ranking government officials and wealthy businessmen, who operating unrestrained at the highest levels of power, hid from the world an alien colonist plot to repopulate the earth, as well as their own plans and stake in that inevitable future. The Group was led by Conrad Strughold. Other important members included The Cigarette Smoking Man, William Mulder, Deep Throat, The Well-Manicured Man, The Elder, Victor Klemper, and Alvin Kurtzweil. Lower level members included Marita Covarrubias, Diana Fowley, and eventually Alex Krycek.\n\nMost of the time, Mulder is fighting for the truth that cannot be explained (paranormal) while Scully is trying to prove that there is a scientific explaination for whatever is going on.\n\nIt's uncertain whethere or not Mulder and Scully got together in the end. They did have a son during the last few seasons when Mulder leaves. At the end of the series finale, they're cuddling on a hotel bed, which implies they're together, but no proposal happens or anything (damn). They do share a nice kiss (a long one) while Mulder is being held in prison and do have a few nice "couple" moments. You can definatly see that their relationship changed a lot during the last few seasons. In one episode, Scully asks Mulder to be a donor so she can conceive (which Mulder says he's a pro at... haha). \n\nThe show left the fans with so many more questions. I believe Chris Carter wanted that so he could make another X-Files movies. If you want to read the actual scripts, this website right here is the place to go: http://www.insidethex.co.uk/

Why immediately blame aliens?  Why can't it be something much closer to home?\nHow could you possibly get something out that is NOT EVEN THERE? How do you know you have a probe?\nI mean, get real.  Do you really believe that aliens would cross thousands of light years in their spaceship, select your bedroom and your behind for inserting an anal probe?  And what do you believe alien would gain by doing that?  Do you really believe your behind is so important to advanced life forms from outer space that they must stuff something in it?\nThe best explanation is that you fell off you bed and that is what hurt your butt.  And coming up with an explanation that involves aliens means you must have hurt your head also.

No..but if you are lucky enough to actually witness their technology..: UFO/disc/sphere/..etc..it certainly closes any doubt involving the questioning of the existence of extraterrestrials. I have been witness several occasions..day and night to objects in the sky..I certainly wasn't looking for them..I just happen to look up at the right times..but perhaps in the near future if we are lucky ..we can get more governments throughout the world to come clean..and fill us in..on what many believe and some even know...that we are not alone..here or the universe

I actually think the Air Force was telling the truth on this one, there are no aliens in their custody at Area 51 or any other place. The 'craft' found in the late forties really was a weather baloon.\n\nPlease remember, at the time the weather baloons were the only way for the USAF to obtain spy photographs of the Soviet Union, and this was before the Berlin Blockade, so the USA was still technically USSR's ally. We did not want to admit that we were spying and provoking war. Also, Roswell was the only airbase with an active force of aircraft capable of nuclear delivery. Well into the 1950's the US military still had no idea of how to handle nuclear material safely, thus the recurrence of above ground testing, soldiers marched into mushroom clouds in the desert and the Bikini Atoll fiasco, not to mention the strange wounds reported at the base hospital.\n\nI don't think there is a greater intelligence in the universe. I think we are it, and we're pretty stupid all in all!

why are u posting this in the astronomy and space part of a science and mathematics section of this site when clearly its a religous/cult/retard that needs a life question?oh ya  roswell doesnt have shit even if it was aliens what does that matter.what if the government was protecting from something that would make life horrible and completely worthless.
