NEW DENIAL In 1947, the U.S. government called the Roswell UFO a balloon. Forty-seven years later, in response to renewed public interest in the Roswell cover-up, the government renewed its denial. Just as General Ramey dismissed it all back then (though the Air Base had originally broadcast news of a UFO), it was again dismissed by a colonel named Weaver in a magazine article of 1994. The import of the article, however, maintaining the "balloon" stance, would now appear equally ridiculous and implausible. It would also appear to presume that Americans are as credulous or naive as was once expected, for the evidence gleaned over this half-century confirms the balloon story as nothing more than hot air. Eyewitness reports and first-hand accounts by Mac Brazel and his son, and Jesse Marcel and his, all of whom actually saw and/or handled pieces of the wreckage, are not compatible with the government fabrication ... unless we are to believe that radar balloons are made with indestructible "tinfoil" and tiny I-beams emblazoned with lavender "hieroglyphics".... |
