Roswell...

[Lozzer]

A bizarre memo that appears to prove that aliens did land in New Mexico prior to 1950 has been published by the FBI.
The bureau has made thousands of files available in a new online resource called The Vault.
Among them is a memo to the director from Guy Hottel, the special agent in charge of the Washington field office in 1950.

...and curiously three years after the alleged event.

... and even more curiously the crashed ship contained Obama's Kenyan birth certificate...

We've been discussing, and cussing, this over at JREF. The way I see the events is this:

A USAF investigator is looking into UFO reports. Mr. Redacted tells the USAF investigator about three crashed saucers. The investigator files a report and that's it. He does nothing else. I speculate that he doesn't nothing because he doesn't find Mr. Redacted's story at all believable.

Then, a few years later, the President or Congress or J. Edgar Hoover wants to see if UFO pose a security threat. (This actually happened, but I'm vague on the dates and Peebles' book in the other room, too far to walk for this.) So some young buck or doe in the FBI is assigned to go through all official reports on UFOs and write one page summaries of each for a senior agent or agents to review. He or she produces the document in question. So, the information is Redacted to USAF to FBI, third hand at this point, and, despite the amazing news of an invasion from outer space, is not considered worth a second look.

I actually saw aliens in the early 70s

As well as many other pretty things, with great colours, and they kept melting, it was, like, unreal...

They don't visit as often as they used to, but they still come around.

FBI "Hottel Memo" Reveals UFO Hoax

[egbert]

I know a guy who knows someone who actually has aliens living in his crawl space, along with JFK and Elvis! No joking. He says he has a friend named "Seth" who can verify this, and he invited me over to listen to some Rush Limbaugh tapes. Should I go?

It's an old document! It MUST be true!!1!
