On July 8, 1947, the Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF) public information officer Walter Haut in Roswell, New Mexico, issued a press release[3] stating that personnel from the field's 509th Bomb Group had recovered a crashed "flying disk" from a ranch near Roswell, sparking intense media interest. The following day, the press reported that Commanding General of the Eighth Air Force stated that, in fact, a radar-tracking balloon had been recovered by the RAAF personnel, not a "flying disc."[4] A subsequent press conference was called, featuring debris said to be from the crashed object, which seemed to confirm the weather balloon description.

Was it a weather balloon? A flying disk? Experimental aircraft? Were there alien bodies recovered by the government? Did we use this technology to further our military aircraft efforts? What if any are the links to "Area 51"? Pee in the butt?

It was a plot by Stalin to panic the US, a la Welles' and "The War of the Worlds". They bred some kids to look like aliens at their secret genetic lab. Ironically, the kids came from the same secret orphanage in central Asia where Obama was raised.

aah, now I finally understand. I thought this was tongue in cheek until I thought about the similarities of the ears...
