A popular and recurring conspiracy theory claim that the remains of the Roswell UFO aliens are being held in a vault at Fort Knox. Do you believe this to be true?

In the summer of 1947 reports of an UFO supposedly crashed northwest of Roswell, New Mexico. The United States military maintains that the recovered materials was a top-secret research balloon that had crashed. However, many UFO proponents believe the wreckage was of a crashed alien craft and that the military covered up the craft's recovery.

This has been declassified and completely debunked. It actually WAS a top secret research balloon. The military told the press they were weather balloons in an effort not to tip off the Russians. The balloons were equiped with special microphones that when lifted into the stratosphere could detect the sound of nuclear weapons being tested on the other side of the planet. People who still believe this was a UFO that crashed in the dessert are just in denial and its pretty sad. To many episodes of the X-Files fried there ability to reason.

    I do not believe in aliens, unless they are of the illegal variety.

    Subject: July 8, 1947


    You might recall that on July 8, 1947, almost exactly 60 Years ago,
    witnesses claim that an unidentified flying object (UFO) with five aliens
    aboard crashed onto a sheep and cattle ranch just outside Roswell , New
    Mexico. This is a well-known incident that many say has long been covered
    up by the U.S. Air Force and other Federal Agencies and organizations.

    However, what you may NOT know is that in the month of March 1948, nine
    months after that historic day, the following people were born:

    Albert A. Gore, Jr.
    Hillary Rodham Clinton
    John F. Kerry
    William J. Clinton
    Howard Dean
    Nancy Pelosi
    Dianne Feinstein
    Charles E. Schumer
    Barbara Boxer

    See what happens when aliens breed with sheep?

    I certainly hope this bit of information clears up a lot of things for you.


    It did for me.

    I believe they are being held elsewhere. Most researchers I have spoken with believe they were and may still be being studied at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. Never heard Fort Knox before, wonder what would have higher security, the bodies and parts or the gold.

    High tech mics that listen to nukes in Russia?I study acoustics and electronics and you'll have to help me with that one.Atmospheric bounce(how radio DX works)doesn't apply to ordinary sound waves,which due to wavelength and frequency don't work quite like radio waves.We use seismic disturbances to detect nukes being tested.This is how we found out about Kim Jong Il's scud launches a year or so back. Not specially equipped balloons.The KGB studied UFO activity also.

    I'm not saying that it isn't possible, but until there is real evidence and not just conspiracy theories, it's still going to be fictitious to me.

    The government is definitely hiding evidence of visitors from other worlds. How can you explain our current level of technology without a little help from an advanced race?

    Humans are intelligent and crative beings. Our current level of technology is due to man. Human beings have the capacity to do many extraordinary things, all by their wittle selves.

    I love myself the X-files, but I'm just not sure if our government is smart enough for that big of a conspiracy. On top of that, if there had actually been alien contact, I find it hard to believe that there would not have been more by now.

    Why would anyone of advanced technology (if they even exist) come near our planet, that by no means seems to be as advanced as the rumored "alien" life. And of all places on the earth, why would they be flying over New Mexico.... there thousands more interesting places to visit.

    If the gov't had alien bodies stored somewhere, we'd know about it. The gov't doesn't keep big secrets very well this long.
