Icon27 UFO Buffs to Offer 'Proof' of Aliens

Proof that a 12-foot creature with fiery red eyes spooked Braxton County schoolchildren in 1952. Proof that aliens crashed a spaceship near Roswell, N.M., in 1947. Proof that the U.S. military engaged alien spaceships in battle over the Atlantic Ocean more than 50 years ago.

"You're going to see some hard evidence" at the Flatwoods Monster 55th Anniversary and Flying Saucer Extravaganza on Sept. 7-8 in Charleston, said promoter Larry Bailey. "That's a promise. That's not just promotional talk."

Come on.. They haven't been able to prove anything in the past 40 years. Nothing has changed.

A UFO did not crash at Roswell. It is nothing more than Cold War hysterics exaggeration.

I once read a whole issue of the Skeptical Inquirer devoted to debunking the Roswell story. It did feel quite convincing, but I must say that as far as I know a UFO did indeed crash there. It was soon identified as a weather (or some other purpose) balloon, though.

D'oh! UFO Buffs to Offer "Proof" of Aliens

The balloons were falsely reported to be weather balloons because they were part of a secret government project that would try to detect nuclear radiation anywhere in the Earth's atmosphere. The balloons were used to find out if the Soviet Union was testing nuclear weaponry. The top-secret government project was titled Project Mogul. It was declassified about 12 years ago.

That should put the alien crash landing myth to rest. Unfortunately, there are some anti-government people who insist on believing the aliens crash landed and dead alien bodies were found myth.

People tend to believe whatever they want, even if there is evidence against it.

I expect that between now and then they will be raided and all the evidence will be stolen.

Probably by two guys in black suits, with dark glasses, one white, one black, arguing about who is going to drive.....

And the fact that the evidence has been stolen will be proof that the Government is keeping it all secret.

What proof? What evidence? They won't remember that there was ever any evidence, much less a raid, or two guys in black suits.
