69 years ago today, something happened in Roswell New Mexico (1 Viewer)

A government testing balloon crashed in a guys backyard. Then in the 80's some kook writers made the conspiracy popular again and it gained steam from there. :shrug:

That "conspiracy Theory" has been around since the day it happened and has not really waned since then.

All because some idiot came up with the brilliant idea of calling it a flying disc instead of weather balloon to cover up that it was being used to for nuclear test monitoring.

The sequence of events was triggered by the crash of a Project Mogul balloon near Roswell.[1] On July 8, 1947, the Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF) public information officer Walter Haut, issued a press release stating that personnel from the field's 509th Operations Group had recovered a "flying disc", which had crashed on a ranch near Roswell.

The military decided to conceal the true purpose of the crashed device – nuclear test monitoring – and instead inform the public that the crash was of a weather balloon.[2] Later that day, the press reported that Commanding General of the Eighth Air Force Roger Ramey had stated that a weather balloon was recovered by the RAAF personnel. A press conference was held, featuring debris (foil, rubber and wood) said to be from the crashed object, which matched the weather balloon description. Historian Robert Goldberg wrote that the intended effect was achieved: "the story died the next day".[4]

BTW badmojo, I don't know what happened 69 years ago in Rosewell, but I hear a UFO may have crashed in Roswell.

 
A spaceship crashed and a space beast was found inside near death. It died a few minutes later.

Remember the "Alien Autopsy" TV special? Worst fakeout since Geraldo opened Al Capone's vault.

Still can't bring myself to watch that. Probably mainly cause it's an autopsy and I'm awful with graphic stuff like that, but also cause in the depths of my mind, if they are real and I watch it and get some sort of odd pleasure or intrigue from it, they'll take me and kill me like this guy (Warning NSFW graphic).
