People who have known me over the years have seen an eager mind full of imagination crushed into a cynical middle aged man. (Thanks Purdue; and nearly every place I've worked!) So when I saw that this was the 60 year anniversary of Roswell, I thought I should put forth my opinion; as it stands now. I believe that throughout the 40's and up through today, the US Military has tested new technologies (Black Ops) that were top secret. Sometimes, when you try something new, whatever it is you're testing, you have a crash. I believe the current govt. Stance is that this incident was from a ludicrously high altitude weather balloon that also was capable of detecting (then) Soviet nuclear tests. At that time, we had no satellites yet, so this was the best we could do. Apparently something happened to the balloon, and it crash landed in Roswell New Mexico in 1947. I won't get into the rest of the mythology surrounding it because it's covered by the story I'm linking to; but suffice to say, there are a lot of people out their with wishful imaginations who need to see Independence day. (Not every alien is like E.T, you've got some space folk out there that want to blow everything up and eat us) So, on to the story.
