Beelzebubba, My question is, is why would they need 2 or 3 flat bed semi-trailers to haul away a weather balloon.

it wasn't a weather balloon. That's a ridiculous cover story. As if the security officer of the air bade would mistake a weather balloon for a space ship!

ancient alien theory 🥰 (could be us from the future even? no one knows!) ..that's the point.. from the movie 'Contact': "..if it is just us, seems like a whole lot of wasted space.." ..nothing is out of the realm of possibility

Our government is developing top secret aircraft, i.e.the Stealth Bomber. They can't be open with media and broadcast their projects, else we wouldn't have an advantage in our defense arsenal!

Player #2039068, yes you're right they'reweather balloons but what crashed back in 47 wasn't a weather balloon considering that a weather balloon was able to fit in the trunk of any Buick or Chevy back in the day so if it was a weather balloon why did the military have to have a bunch of flatbed trucks to haul away the so called remains of the weather balloon and why were ppl who were trying to make statements about the crash landing to the media end up having some kinda mysterious deaths

Roswell has been declassified. An alien spacecraft crashed there. An alien was recovered from the wreckage.

Ever since WW2 the United States government has done nothing but lie to its citizens and coverup the truth on just about everything that happens with their greatest lie and coverup being 9/11, domestic terrorism concocted by the United States government and their partner in crime, Israel

Ezalb17, did you know there's a profession of cryptozoologist? That's what my teenage daughter told me she wanted to be and that there are college programs for it. I told her she's not going to any school for that on my dime!!!

I live in Roswell, it's a tourist trap. Can't speak to the validity of it being a UFO or not but the picture of the wreckage in the newspaper from that time looks too small to be a UFO (not to assume aliens can't be small lol). I don't like the show. The population here is mostly Hispanic and none of the actors in the show are.

OptimisticFrog17914, saw pres. Obama on talk show, he was asked what going on at area 51, he said every pres. is briefed on it and is told to not comment. to me that means they are hiding something.
