Roswell Alien Coverup |
At the turn of the 20th century, the United States was in the golden age of industrial technology and wonder. Steam turbine engines were all the rage enabling machines to work harder and faster. It was also the dawn of the horseless carriage with Henry Ford forging the way with his Model "T" automobile and his unique assembly line production of the vehicle.
Several years later, the Wright brothers took flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina and humankind had thought they had reached their zenith of technology. Medicine however, was still in the dark ages with crude surgical tools and pot luck diagnosis.
As the 20th century advanced, improvements on the automobile, airplane, and medicine were slow and painstaking. Until that is, that fateful night, in the summer of 1947, when an alien spacecraft crash landed on Dan Wilmot's farm in Roswell, New Mexico. Major Marcel headed up the investigation and subsequent coverup as what the military found was a crashed vehicle from another world. An official Unidentified Flying Object.
Of course there were many eye witnesses that called the police, newspaper, and radio stations to report what they had seen and heard. The military wanted to keep a lid on this event and needed a cover story. The following scenario was a simple stroke of genius by the military. They decided to let the stories run wild of little green men from Mars crash landing in New Mexico. With each and every new story, the tales became bigger and bigger, and more outlandish. Even the local newspaper printed articles of the military capturing a flying saucer from another planet. The seeds were now planted.
The military being pressed for answers held a news conference and explained matter-of-factly that the people of Roswell were becoming paranoid thinking that they saw strange lights in the sky, or worse, alien space crafts circling the town and surrounding mountains. Major Marcel told the press that what the townsfolk actually saw was a military weather balloon that had malfunctioned and crashed on Dan Wilmot's farm.
Marcel held up and put on display the remains from the wreckage. Some tin foil, cables, wires, a torn silver balloon, and some junk switches and gadgets were shown. He convinced the townsfolk that in fact it was a simple crash of a malfunctioning weather balloon doing routine surveys.
The military held its collective breath. Days past. Interest waned. The news stories slowed and finally stopped coming in. The military exhaled. The town went back to normal. And the Military pulled off a huge coverup and began one of the longest ongoing conspiracies in the United States today.
The technology mined from the alien crashed ship has bolstered the United States military might of the United States and it continues today as we understand more of the technology left behind.
