the second most famous newspaper headline of all time! (of course, the most famous was “dewey beats truman!”). roswell is back in the news today with a story of yet another military guy stepping forward and spilling more beans. apparently the military was testing some radar jamming equip that took down not just one, but TWO saucers back then. of course, all the other military experts are saying he’s fulla bunk. but WE know the truth, don’t we…
—however, all that stuff about radar jamming and two crashed saucers is ancient news. i think we’ve known that info since the beginning (which was around 1980). so, the idea that the big brass is fighting back on that is funny, too. it’s ancient history to ufologists.—
…Almost exactly 65 years after the Air Force shot down conspiracy theories that an alien aircraft had crashed in Roswell, N.M., a retired lieutenant colonel says not only was the UFO real, but it wasn’t the only one.
“There were actually two crashes at Roswell, which most people don’t know,” Richard French told the Huffington Post….That fabled incident, which has launched decades of speculation over the existence of aliens among us, occured in July of 1947, when the Air Force issued a press release describing the crash and recovery of a “flying disk.” Though they later retracted that statement and clarified the object was a weather balloon, skeptics have never been convinced that item wasn’t in fact a UFO.
French claims the military covered up what happened, which was actually a “shootdown….”The first one was shot down by an experimental U.S. airplane that was flying out of White Sands, N.M., and it shot what was effectively an electronic pulse-type weapon that disabled and took away all the controls of the UFO, and that’s why it crashed,” he said. ”When they hit it with that electromagnetic pulse — bingo! — there goes all their electronics and, consequently, the UFO was uncontrollable,” he added. French, who has had a long career military intelligence, said he heard about the incident from another officer….”I had seen photographs of parts of the UFO that had inscriptions on it that looked like it was in an Arabic language — it was like a part number on each one of them. They were photographs in a folder that I just thumbed through.”
While believers in alien life will surely embrace French’s story, it didn’t fly with at least one fellow former military officer. Though Army Col. John Alexander doesn’t doubt the premise that these crafts exist — and he has lobbied senior government officials like Defense Secretary Leon Panetta to encourage members of the military to talk about it — he says the military couldn’t have brought down a flying saucer because the technology just wasn’t there.
