Roswell,

No, I'm certain it is a myth but equally certain that the official explanation is a lie.

It was a balloon being tested for high altitude electronic snooping which contained chimps. The balloon capsule failed (or was deliberately compromised) at high altitude and depressurized. The 'alien' misconception comes from the reflective, foil-like material used in it's construction and the effects of depressurization on it's crew. (swollen, distended heads etc.)

The cover-up was simply Cold War SOP.
How do you explain the Army report of a flying disc?? What about all the military personnel involved that have come forward in recent years that were there and confefssed to what actually happened (ufo etc). What good is a death bed confession if your dead??

Quite simply the public infatuation with 'discs' provided a convenient red herring.

Also, the craft would have been spherical, a spherical object falling from 40,000 ft would look rather disc like after impact.

the way i understand it, there is no void beyond the universe.

because there is no beyond, outside of the universe. like i said, there is no outside.

at least thats my understanding of it.

Isnt thisthread about UFO's?? What does the size or speed of the universe have to do with UFO's??? Start a new thread on the origins of the universe already!!

actually the size and speed of the universe do have to do with the chances of there being alien civilizations out there. most people consider ufos to come from alien civilazations if im not mistaken.

but your right, we are getting off topic with discussing whether theres an outside or not to the universe. so i'll desist in discussing it further.

When the whole credibility thing comes up I can't help but think of the airline pilots who were reporting over comms about this UFO until they started to come in to land and realized against the treeline it was a piece of wheat stuck to their window.

Or that cop that chased Venus down winding roads for half a state not realizing it was him that was moving not his foo fighter.

there is a possibility of UFO's . . . I think there is. Do i believe those alien shows?

Nope. Not since the alien autopsy hoax and the pictures of triangular shaped aircraft that looks like have blue.

Or the one with the cylindrical shaped rocket that burned and gave radiation burns to the witnesses (US govt testing of nuclear jet engines . . .) and how brilliant and awesome coloring the exhaust was . . .


astronomers are discovering more solar systems with a sun with a planet in the habitable "ring"* for earth based life.

*orbit / zone / distance from sun to sustain life without frying or freezing it


But alien life may have a different set of natural boundaries and laws set up for it and may not require the same habitable ring


At the same time sun dancing making lights on off your canopy can explain
that bend the laws of aerodynamics as human aerospace vehicles are capable



And why do you have to bring religion into this. The Christians have 1 UP in this area because TONS of credible witness to weird things, like WW 2 nuking and the only building left at ground zero was German Christian missionary home or how they have tons of saints where their bodies are uncorrupted for hundreds of years.



Human understanding only gets us so far. We don't know everything, nor will we ever be.

That's why its in the human spirit to question, to ask, to seek. And sometimes some shortchange by finding the quick answer or making up truth.
