Vault

[The Man In Black]

No, not the Mountain Dew knock off. vault.fbi.gov contains a large number of now-public documents. Most interestingly: http://vault.fbi.gov/hottel_guy/Guy%20H ... %20of%201/

So, FBI confirming Roswell had nothing to do with a robot, a lobster-alien, and a green craft that stole their radar so as to travel back to the future. Discuss.

...the saucers were found in New Mexico due to the fact that the Government has very high powered radar set-up in that area and it is believed the radar interferes with the controlling mechanics of the saucers.

Which would also render them useless for space travel of any sort. >_> The background radiation of space is harder than anything you can generate with radar. :\ (Also, there be a lot of grammar fail in this document for something that was transcribed.)

 

[The Man In Black]

Eh, could have been other explanations as to why it crashed (maybe the ship was calibrated for the radiations of space, or maybe they had a mother ship and these were just the planet-sides). You think the FBI is planting a hoax on their own website? >_>

 

[Thothie]

I suspect they are repeating an old troll, and it wouldn't be the first time.

You get a very strong dose of a very broad spectrum of radiation in space - more than every radar dish on the planet combined could hope to put out. There's a reason deep space probe's computers have to be so heavily shielded, and why we still have to use vacuum tubes for critical systems in them. It isn't even possible to shield some components enough to protect them.

It's basically the equivalent of something designed to survive in a nuclear blast furnace being taken out by a microwave turned on a block away.


On the other hand, I like the 800+ page report on Howard Zinn. ><

Do you notice that all the reports they put out on their index page are sensationalist though? Where's all the boring day to day declassified stuff that should be here?

I smell a.....conspiracy!

 

[The Man In Black]

The reasoning for the crash shouldn't be the main thing discussed, especially since they probably didn't know jack as far as full-on space travel in the 1950s (the guy said that's what they think happened, not that that IS what happened). I care more about discussing if this is indeed a Trollolololol from the FBI or what.

If you really want to...

Well, for starters, this is dated three years after the event. By that time, the Roswell conspiracy theories, and the sci-fi fantasy media that surrounded them, were in full swing. People were coming forward with conflicting eye-witness accounts of aliens left and right, and the number of folks looking to publish a neat story or otherwise make a quick buck, or simply scare some kids, far outnumbered the true believers. So this would be prime time for a bomb like this to appear, rather than on the day of the event, before the story picked up its spin.

The description, of both the saucers and the aliens, fits the comic books of the 30's and 40's down to a T. So, unless we assume those comic books were inspired by another, earlier event, that somehow slipped by the news media entirely - it seems much more likely that the comic books are inspiring this story. Granted, at least the aliens aren't green and from mars.

But, as we've discussed elsewhere, humanoid "aliens" are a virtual impossibility. Unless they either seeded life on this planet, or are in some other way directly related to us - perhaps not aliens at all, but humans from the future or an alternate reality. All of which, of course, only makes a far fetched story even more far fetched. It is much more likely that they are humanoid because they are a human-made fantasy. We tend to make our gods in our own image, sort-to-speak. It's also interesting that aliens just happen show up at just about the time we first start fantasizing of them.

As stated before, the grammar suggests this was never transcribed, which is unusual for FBI documents. Few of the other documents in the Vault suffer such grammatical errors, and nothing else anyone submitted on the subject in the Vault even hints at any of this. The other documents are also much more detailed, where this is a free-floating anomaly. (And most of those were submitted on the day of the incident, rather than three years later.)

The idea that it was a man-made craft, coming down via a deployed balloon, designed to test the limits of G-force tolerance, using Japanese prisoners, is just as nutty, but at least there's a lot more evidence for it.

I have come to the conclusion that Thothie is one of the aliens that were inside one of the saucers that crashed, hence why he is taking so much offense towards the whole ordeal....

KILL THE ALIEN MENACE!!!!

Poor Thothie. The mothership must have abandoned him here when it left, and took the stargate with it!

Darn DHD keeps telling me the number is no longer in service, but it maybe I just have the area code wrong.
