must say, i truly believe.That is was real
With all of the hype about it not being real you have to wonder if it is. The government even had to go live and say it was not an alien spaceship and it was a weather balloon. They said it like it was just a big secret and that they were hiding something. Why not bring the weather balloon out, and show us. But im just 12 years old. No one will listen to me. I think aliens or people not of this planet do exsist because when you think about the fact that we might be the only living things thats quite sad. We live in such a large area and for it to be empty is just almost depressing.

Everyone you talk to has different opinions and theories on the Roswell crash of 1947. All sides, however, agree on a few indisputable facts:
• Something crashed near Roswell, New Mexico in July of 1947
• Initial reports said that the object resembled a flying saucer
• The government then changed their story and said the object was a weather balloon
• The government changed their story (yet again!) and said the object was a "spy balloon" known as Project Mogul
• The government continues to cover up the whole incident - try obtaining information about this event through the "freedom of information act" and you will receive page after page of blacked out words (sometimes whole pages are completely blacked out).
No one can say for sure what crashed near Roswell in 1947 but there is definitely an ongoing cover-up by the government. One particularly interesting piece of propaganda was issued in 1997. I believe it was called "The Roswell Incident: Case Closed". It has been thoroughly discredited but makes interesting reading in that it shows the ridiculous lengths that the government is willing to go in order to try and convince people that a U.F.O. did NOT crash.

I have mixed feelings on the matter.
From what I heard, it was originally believed to be something like a plane crash, but then the FBI and all those other organizations came rolling in and kept anyone from giong anywhere near the crash site. And later on, they said, "Nothing is there."
That's what I heard. Now, say if that was actually what happened. WHy would they say there's nothing there? Everyone knew something was there. All the FBI had to do was say it was a plane crash, and they could have kept it all a secret. I don't really believe that's how it happened because there was a lot of holes in the story, and I tried piecing together most of it as possible.
I believe that Aliens at one point or another did try to come down here, but of course, no one is really prepared to accept that, especially most leading religions. So the debate is still open.

During that time u-2 spy planse were being sent up to spy on soviet targets and when people said they saw flying saucers the government launched Project Blue Book to help perpetrate the myth.
Movie makers capitalized on the frenzy by making 100's of movies about aliens and space ships. None have ever been clearly photographed or captured. No one alive has ever witnessed them like in Close Encounters of the Third Kind
I would like to take a ride
Hey mister spaman
won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey Mr. Spaceman won't you please take me along for a ride
Like any other lie or hoax seemingy intelligent people with advanced degrees will vouch for the interity of brilliant studies.
Look close and you will usually find their degrees come from the back page of Rolling Stone and their school is one without walls or is a post office box.
Like any other hocus pocus IT'S A BUSINESS

I think it's a little of both actually. I'm personally convinced that aliens either are or have been here (and no I haven't been abducted or had contact LOL!) but human society isn't ready for exposure yet. It would cause a big panic.
But since there have been so many different reports in the area, I'm sure at least a few have been artifically created, for what purpose I have no idea

It's a scam that has brought a lot of income to Roswell! They even have an Alien Museum.

In my opinion(and that is all that it is). Roswell did happen. The military came out at first that it was an UFO ,then changed it to a weather balloon. Having been in the military and knowing how Hush Hush!!, works. Well.... its just my opinion. :):):)Peace and Love be. Hope that this helps your paper.
P.S. Crash,not landing.

I personally think it's one of those "dreams within a dream within a dream". I believe in aliens and I believe the government knows about them but I believe the government is using them as a scapegoats to cover up their mistakes - just blaming aliens for experiments and disasters and secret guinuea pig projects.

Real crash. The landings took place later, at Wright Patterson. Eisenhower was there for that one.
There are too many holes in the weather balloon OR the spy balloon stories. And those rubber paratroopers didn't happen until YEARS later.

It's a legend, based entirely on uncorroborated eye-witness testimony (as to the nature of the object). There is no hard evidence to support it. Not only is it a scam, it is not even a scientific scam.
