The Roswell Incident Was A Government Coverup

Resolved that the Roswell Incident Was A Government Coverup. First I will introduce evidence to this debate, then explain how this evidence implies a government cover up. But First, some backround history: The Roswell UFO Incident was the alleged recovery of extra-terrestrial debris, including alien corpses, from an object which crashed near Roswell, New Mexico, USA, in June or July 1947. Since the late 1970s the incident has been the subject of intense controversy and the subject of conspiracy theories as to the true nature of the object which crashed. The United States military maintains that what was actually recovered was debris from an experimental high-altitude surveillance balloon belonging to a classified program named "Mogul"[1]; however, many UFO proponents maintain that in fact a crashed alien craft and bodies were recovered, and that the military then engaged in a cover-up. Project "Mogul" was (sometimes referred to as Operation Mogul) was a top secret project by the US Army Air Forces involving microphones flown on high altitude balloons, whose primary purpose was long-distance detection of sound waves generated by Soviet atomic bomb tests. Now onto my points 1. Project "Mogul" According to a local rancher who went out to examine the wreckage states that "Most of the debris consisted of lightweight, thin-gage, flat or slightly curved, sheetlike fragments exhibiting physical properties atypical of late-1940s technology. There appears to have been two distinct types at the site: (1) foil-like pieces easily crumpled by hand which completely recovered their original shape and showed no signs of wrinkling when released; and (2) pieces which could not be deformed or damaged by any means, even when whacked with a 16-pound sledgehammer. I refer to both kinds of debris, which would not burn, as thin-shell material. (Common thin-shell products—which do not possess such extraordinary deformation characteristics—include Saran wrap, balloon film, aluminum foil, and motor-vehicle and aircraft body panels.) " 2 Pictures Showing Project Mogul Balloons http://www.cufos.org... http://theunexplainedmysteries.com... As you can see in these photos, if one of these balloons were to suddenly "pop", it is PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE that it would create a loud noise and a fiery crash (as witnesses reported) These balloons also did not contain much metal. And as you can see, did not have ANY sort of characters on them. While I do see a high altitude balloon popping as a valid argument, there are many flaws with that argument. First, the equipment on board the "mogul" balloons was made to detect Soviet Ballistic Missiles. No equipment pieces or parts were found on the site. Next, a balloon would fall straight down, but the crash site clearly reveals a trail behind the wreckage, indicating a sloped descent. 2. Why the military would cover it up... Let me start out with a quote from "The Roswell Incident" "While working at the Wright Patterson Air Force Base in 1955, Mrs. Norma Gardner had been assigned to a post involving the cataloging of all incoming UFO related material. She was given a top security clearance. At one point duing the course of her assignment, she said, she had witnessed the conveyance of two humanoid bodies by cart from one room to another. She not only saw the bodi but handeled the paperwork on their autopsy reports. These bodies preserved in a chemical solution, were etween four and five feet tall, with generally humanlike features except that the heads were large relative to the bodies and the eyes were slanted. Mrs. Gardner told of her experiences when she was bedrdden with cancer, observing dramatically "Uncles Sam can't do anything to me when I'm in my grave" Onto my point. Why would the US want to cover this up? Easy. If YOU were running the government and someone comes to you and says "Sir, we have discovered that extraterrestrial life exists" Would you just blurt it out to the public? NO! To prevent mass hysteria, you would keep it quiet, and maybe let it out slowly and painfully. I await my opponent's points and refutations. http://en.wikipedia.org... http://en.wikipedia.org... http://www.ufoevidence.org... http://roswellproof.com... "
