Why say you, 9ine_Lives?
Surely you could contribute more to the discussion than a simple one line quip in dismissal. Perhaps you might elaborate a bit on WHY you feel "Roswell" didn't happen? Something did "happen" near Roswell, that's fact. What do you feel/think it was? Weather Balloons, your thoughts here, etc.?

It is called metallic glass, or amorphous metal, and it appears to be nothing less than an entirely new class of material that can be used to build lighter, stronger versions of anything. “Everything from an Abrams tank to an F-16 jet to a bicycle can be made out of this, and because it is two to three times the strength of conventional alloys, you can halve the weight or more. That’s not evolutionary, it’s revolutionary,” says Johnson. “This is the structural material of the future.”
Strength is not its only virtue. It can also be formed like a plastic. So instead of laboriously making sheet metal and then cutting, machining, and drilling, say, a car fender, all of which weakens the part, a glassy metal fender could be injection-molded in one piece—a breakthrough. “The idea that you can cast something like a plastic part with very high strength is a completely new development,” says materials science professor William Nix of Stanford University, an adviser to Liquidmetal Technologies, which is trying to commercialize the metal.

Better yet, it can be readily made into a foam. “With most metals that’s difficult, because the bubbles want to rise to the surface of the molten metal,” says Johnson. The fact that amorphous metal is thick and like plastic when molten permits the formation of a foam panel that is 99 percent air but roughly 100 times stronger than polystyrene. A sandwich made of two thin sheets of amorphous metal flanking amorphous foam would be strong, light, insulating, fireproof, bug-proof, rustproof, sound dampening, and difficult to penetrate with bombs. Such panel could form buildings, ship hulls, airplanes, and car bodies.

I found some links about this, it seemed pretty interesting. The last one only has a paragraph or two over the material, but the first two I thought were good.

Actually, i do belive for once in my life that the government was testing the weather baloons near Roswell. And i think that everyone is blowing the whole think right out of proportion since it began, and it annoys me when i see more stories comig up assosiated with Roswell...who knows, i WORK for the government, maybe they got to me?
