The "Roswell Incident" refers to an event that supposedly happened in July, 1947, wherein the Army Air Forces (AAF) allegedly recovered remains of a crashed "flying disc" near Roswell, New Mexico. In February, 1994, the General Accounting Office (GAO), acting on the request of a New Mexico Congressman, initiated an audit to attempt to locate records of such an incident and to determine if records regarding it were properly handled. Although the GAO effort was to look at a number of government agencies, the apparent focus was on the Air Force. SAF/AAZ , as the Central Point of Contact for the GAO in this matter, initiated a systematic search of current Air Force offices as well as numerous archives and records centers that might help explain this matter. Research revealed that the "Roswell Incident" was not even considered a UFO event until the 1978-1980 time frame. Prior to that, the incident was dismissed because the AAF originally identified the debris recovered as being that of a weather balloon. Subsequently, various authors wrote a number of books claiming that, not only was debris from an alien spacecraft recovered, but also the bodies of the craft's alien occupants. These claims continue to evolve today and the Air Force is now routinely accused of engaging in a "cover-up" of this supposed event.

Didn't the Air Force recently claim that the "bodies" found at Roswell were actually test dummies of some sort? (i'm not sure why you would need test dummies for an unmanned ballon...)I didn't see any mention of them in the article. Also, why did they insist it was a weather balloon in the early 90's, then jsut a few years later come out and say it was designed to spy on Russian nuclear tests?
Why should we trust any official report when it seems that every few years another official report comes out that completely contradicts the previous one?

You I think that spooks live the worst life of all, they either live in denial or their lives are one big lie. One day the 'man' will snap his fingers and the spook' will come out of his or her mind control spell and act like the truth is self evident.
They will have to hide somewhere because all of a sudden their entire life will be an embarassment to them. Funny though, they will be the last to see this too..

Picard,
The best attitude you can have is the one you do. It is ok to be curious about things like this. You never know how true they might actually be. But always remember there are at least two sides to every story.
Take your time. This message board is fairly biased towards one side of the issue. That gives you half of the story. Pay attention to what you read here. Then look for people with different points of view. Pay attention to what they have to say. Come to your own conclusions.
Dont believe things because you think people want you to. Also, dont believe things because you think people dont want you too.
I wish they would put it together for us that easily...but unfortunatley, they won't because then that would incriminate them in a lie. My personal belief is that it's a space craft, and it was carrying alien bodies.
