Roswell desinfo thoughts

Recently i've been through huge information wars at the uni, 1 vs all. Things got really tought, there were spys and all such things, but whatever. Now after giving a new glance at the Roswell case - it hit me. The question was why did they gave the crashed disc press release. My version:
The word about the crashes was already spreading. So deliberetly releasing 2 contradicting statements means that BOTH accounts took place. And the point of that is to cover up this fact and let the sceptics rule the problem out.
Flame me down.

Sorry, I am flaming you out. I do like how you are prepared for what might come though.

Your thoughts sound good to me.

I'm confused about the information wars and spys that you mention.

That aside, I think your version makes quite a bit of sense.

It seems to me not all 've got it.

One thing that I've learned - the more there is reality to desinfo the better it is.
So even if the baloon did not crash by it self, it for sure would have been dropped over the night from a chopper and let be found by tourists.
What do we have? 2 crash places and 2 statements. Rings a bell to me.
The problem is that fighting a statement that both crashes took place would be a lot harder if somebody would have brought it up. So the purpose of contradicting is to avoid such versions.
