"Hang onto your tinfoil helmet, because today we're going to rocket into the history books and see for ourselves exactly what fell out of the sky in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947."
 
Hmm, I have a few bones to pick with this one.

1 -- What evidence does Skeptoid have of Brazel reading about Flying Saucers? Makes it sound like the guy was a Sci-Fi junkie. I've never read anything that suggested that Brazel read anything. Seems like the typical BS "skeptic" blanket being spread.

2 -- Brazel told Sheriff Wilcox and the press before the military got wind of it. This sounds like Brazel drove to RAAF and told Marcel himself.

WOW, I’m only 45 seconds into this and already the crap is spewing.

3 -- "5 lbs of Foil and Aluminum" hmmm, I thought it was aluminum foil, tape, and balsa wood. Who wrote this?

4 -- "With Marcel’s press release in hand" Wow, it’s like I’m watching that "Are they Real: UFO's" that my damned Tivo keeps recording. Marcel didn’t issue a press release Walter Haut did. I’m not even sure Marcel knew it was released at the time.

5 -- "Stanton Friedman, an obsessed UFO whacko" How did these guys feel good about hitting the record button for this? Does anyone remember what debunker rule number this is?

Sorry Rob, I just can’t waste more than 2 minutes on this one. Somehow I feel dummer for having listened to it.
