Yeah what really happened at Roswell? Someone in the room there must know


It was a ballon that was supposed to spy on the Soviets that crashed during a test. The US government didn't do anything to stop the idea that it was a UFO because that distracted people from its real purpose, which could have lead to an international incident... Or so the story goes...

Yeah... in general actually, from what i've read the UFO conspiracy was an intentional conspiracy encouraged by the US government as a cover for multiple spying events on the USSR... and it worked!  Due to lots of USSR claims of UFOs rising that turned out to corespond with US Spy planes. 

From the sounds of various russian documents... they were in fact worried about aliens.
