There is one, and ONLY one, thing about Roswell that makes me wonder.

How is it that the intelligence officer of the most important bomber wing of the USAF think that a radar target balloon was a flying saucer?

Newspapers. From the 1940s.

I had this incredibly kickass book called Encyclopedia of the Strange that had a transcript of Jesse Marcell's(sp?)original press release stating that he claimed that a "flying saucer" had crashed outside of Roswell, NM. The latest government information states that there was indeed some cover-upish stuff done at the time do to the fact that what in fact was recovered was a radar target balloon, which was very much top-secret at the time.

Well, seeing as how a bit of Dr. Strangelove has creeped into everyone's sigs lately (ex: see above), an International Communist Conspiracy!

Not really a conspiracy theory, but it's completely obvious that the Congress holds little power and the USA's true rulers are the Military-Industrial Complex.

I guess it seems more blatant now. Then again I may have just missed it.

Well, that's not exactly a conspiracy theory, since for the official line to be true we have to throw out the laws of physics.

So Kennedy was killed by... the Psi-Corps????

No, we all know he was killed by an attractive female Death Cult Assassin, hired by the Ordo Malleus of the Imperial Inquisiton! :twisted:

So, does anyone think that the copious amount of Wite-Out used on the government documents posted on the FBI Freedom of Information Act site will only spawn more conspiracy theorists?

In 1943 and then again in 1950 USN fleets expended thousands of rounds of ammunition on what turned out to be radar ghosts. The third engagement in the Tonking gulf in 1964 is also now thought to have been against radar ghosts, low clouds made star shell useless.

With the near total lack of any form of signal processing in the radars of the time, you could mistake a lot of things for a lot of things.
