On October 10, 1998, Edgar Mitchell stated to The People, London:
"Make no mistake, Roswell happened. I've seen secret files which show the government knew about it, but decided not to tell the public. There were very good security reasons for not informing the public about Roswell. Quite simply, we wouldn't have known how to deal with the technology of intelligent beings advanced enough to send a craft to Earth. The world would have panicked if we'd known aliens were visiting us."

America knew that Russia thought that there very well could be a huge edvancement in science and technology with such a capture. They did after all, have constant agents working in each others agencies.
So the US government decided to convince the Russian that America had found one.
Then all they have to do is leave it alone. Let the story fade as it will, with no new info.
The Russians would have to wonder if the story is true. They would also have to wonder what the Americans now have

We have had cars for a long time now, but they still brake down.
We have had clothes for a very very long time now, but there are still clothes made incorrectly...by machines I might add......
.....see where I'm going with this? It doesn't matter how advanced the technology is, there will still always be probelms.

It just happened to break down on earth, just by chance the only planet in our solar system with intelligent life 'that we know of'. But you could be right

But what i do find hard to believe is that extra-galatic travelers decided to pay a visit to our humble home world and then crash land...
even if they traveled from the nearest star there technology would be so far far advanced and 100's of years ahead of ours
does anyone share this view or is it just me???
