There have been so many lies told about Roswell that even those who did know the truth are now confused.
Personally I believe in cause and effect. I.E. if I am in a room chocked with smoke I can be convinced, rather easily, that there is a fire somewhere. I think there has been entirely too much smoke generated about Roswell for there to have been no fire at all. I would really like to know the absolute truth but at this point the government is either protecting a secret or is being forced to try to prove a negative. Either way, we will probably never know exactly what happened in New Mexico on that day in 1947.

A rancher managing someone's ranch by the name of Mac Brazel recovered something. Took it to the sheriff's office and they were amazed by the strange things the peices of metal could do. They called the military and they picked up the peices and went out to the ranch to see the rest. The intelligence officer took the peices back to his CO and they could not heat the metal fragments up or drill them. The CO sent a press release out that they had retrieved an actual UFO. General Ramey chewed the CO out and ordered all fragments retrieved. The intelligence officer was sent to a press conference where he was ordered to show a weather balloon to the press and state it was all a big misunderstanding.
Meanwhile numerous soldiers combed the ranch for fragments and no one was allowed near the area even the sheriff. The rancher was questioned for hours and afterwards told radio shows he wasnt really sure what he saw. The rancher later told the story of event and the interogation before his death.
A local undertaker was contacted by a captain at the base and was asked he had four child length coffins that could be hermitcally sealed. He was told there was an accident involving children. He went to the base and noticed it was on high alert. Since he was dating a nurse there he was allowed in as everyone knew him. His girlfriend was frantic and told him to leave immediately. He was then escorted roughly by MPs off the base. His girlfriend later told him she saw alien bodies. She died in a military plane accident later.
The government has made up various stories on the average of every 10 years. First it was a weather balloon, then high altitude parachuting where some test soldiers were killed, then it was monkeys in a test rocket, then it was high altitude test dummies, then a balloon used to detect Soviet nuclear tests. The government story changes constantly. However the people of Roswell, the rancher, the intelligence officer and other soldiers assert it was an alien craft.
If it was an alien craft it would be a goldmine for any government to find. The reverse engineering and money made off technical advances would be extreme. However there are other alledged crashes in the world too. One in Brazil where hundreds of people claimed they saw the aliens running around their town. A firefighter died a few hours after touching one of them. A reporter went to a beauty shop where wives of the military generals hung out and they were all griping to each other. The gripe was their husbands were at the base for days studying the aliens and the UFO recovered. Now whether that one is real or not who knows. Interestingly enough the hundreds of seperate witnesses drew the same aliens. An archaeologist noticed the aliens looked exactly like a 1000 bc year old mask from Africa. The mask was wore by the holy man to talk to the "gods" when they arrived. The mask was suppose to resemble the "gods".
So you be the judge.

I don't know what you're talking about- lots of stuff happened in 1947. I'm sure many couples living there celebrate that yr. as their wedding anniversary, kids born, weather balloons, etc. On thing cool is that Roswell’s All-Stars became Little League World Champions in 1956! Yea, Roswell All- Stars!! Hm mm, maybe they had some unfair alien technology that gave then an advantage and the damn umpires covered it up??

Toward the end of the Second World War, the Luftwaffe (German Air Force) was developing all sorts of experimental aircraft in the hope of coming up with something cheap and easy to build that would rob the allied bomber forces of their increasing superiority.
Most of these ideas were impractical, but a few went into production. One of these was the Messerchmidt ME-163, a compact, highly streamlined tailless airplane that went into action under the name "Komet."
This little ship was designed by the brilliant designer Wille Messerschmidt, and was built, surprisingly out of plywood and aluminized fabric, to save strategic materials. It was powered by a simple liquid fuel rocket engine that was the distant antecedant of the engines in the Space Shuttle.
The idea was that the Komet could take off from any runway or even a grass field and climb nearly straight up in a very short time to an altitude higher than the ceiling of any allied fighter of the time. Then the little ship could glide into position above a flight of attacking allied bombers and dive at a very high speed onto the formation of bombers.
The Komets were equipped with machine guns and could shoot down a B-17 or a Lancaster with just a few well-placed rounds. The Komet was very compact, being only about 16 feet long and having a wingspan of about 25 feet.
The chief drawback of the Komet was in the fuels used for the rocket engine. The engine used potassium permanganate and concentrated hydrogen peroxide. These ignited spontaneously on contact and burned violently. Concentrated H2O2 unfortunately also spontaneously oxidizes almost any organic material, including the pilot. There were many accidents and many fatalities resulting from the inflammatory nature of these fuels.
At the end of the war, there were a number of ME-163 Komets abandoned on Luftwaffe air bases, and the allies made an effort to secure as many of them as possible, both to keep them out of the hands of the Russians and to bring them back to the States for research purposes.
One of the research facilities used for test flights with the recovered Komets was what is now called by some people "Area 51" near Roswell NM. There were numerous research flights conducted out of that facility during the late 1940s for the purpose of evaluating the rocket propulsion system and the performance and usefulness of a small rocket plane.
The "mystery" of Roswell in 1947 was nothing more than a crash landing of one of these little research planes. The explosion was violent and the remains of the aircraft were scattered and distorted. The pilot's body was badly burned, and probably at least partly dismembered.
It was upon this scene that the uneducated and frightened local residents burst in the early morning gloom. They saw what was obviously a flying craft of some kind unlike anything they had ever imagined, and made of what seemed like some very strange materials. Aluminized fabric was actually in wide use in industry at the time, but was not familiar to large numbers of people.
Also, they saw a badly disfigured body, or perhaps only parts of one. All of these things are easily explained, as you have just read. At the time, and in the face of the national wave of fear that characterized the early years of the Cold War, some people let their imaginations run wild.
For reasons that have never been understood by those who were in the know at the time, the authorities saw fit to misinform and disinform the citizenry and continued to cloud the history of this simple event in such a way that it has become more of a legendary war story than anyone would have expected.
The silly, amateurish film of the "alien autopsy" that circulated after this was unrelated to the real events, and is really too absurd to be paid any real attention.
For more information on the ME-163, do an internet search on "ME-163." At a glance you will see why most people would have thought they had seen a space ship.

It was probably a very early version of the Stealth fighter jet, which were seen in the early 50's as well and called "flying discs" that looked like boomerangs.
I would say odds are better that the government has a bunch of crazy new technology that humans developed rather than aliens came down here somehow through a wormhole or something and somehow crashed into earth.

I hate to spoil the good time for everyone, but it was declassified years ago, about 1994 or 95. It was a Project Mogul balloon. Project Mogul was an early US Army Electronic Warfare project using weather balloons to suspend radar reflectors. The idea was to use these balloons to fool Soviet radar operators as to the actual position of US bombers should hostilities have commenced. A balloon was lost, and due to the secret nature of the program, when it was found on some farmers land a typical military overreaction followed. This lead to a typical civilian overreaction, which lead to lots of people making money from the "Roswell Mystery".

Who do you think is more credible?
The eye witnesses that all report the same thing or the Federal Government?
The official government policy is that there is no such thing as extraterrestrial craft because there is no way that they will ever admit to the public that there is a possibility that something (especially not a civilization more advanced than our own) can invade our air space with impunity and they are powerless to do anything about it.

a weather balloon crashed,
Then 60 years of word of mouth "playing telephone" and exaggerations turned the debris into a flying saucer and the cargo (containing a some mannequin dummys) into alien bodies.
The movie Independence day was not a documentary!
