Curiously Confused
Well, the first 34 or so years were uneventful, the last 32 have seen the birth of a legend. I wonder how people in a hundred years will look back on the incident. What things will remain buried and what things will have been exposed? One thing is for sure, its here to stay.

So, lets celebrate with a poll!


By the way, has anyone see google today?
 
Did anyone see Google's Roswell banner thing? It's cute lol. Pure entertainment, but at least it encourages people to read more about what happened (provided they click the link after playing).

I hope that in 100 years we finally know the truth about it but I think a lot of that depends on the politics of the situation and how they evolve. And maybe we will know things at that point that make people look back at us and say "It was so obvious, how could you have not known?" lol

(And I have mixed feelings at this point so I'll just go with the classic flying saucer response in the poll. :))
 
Never made sense to me, even 16 yrs later now- that the military would come out and admit to a project mogul, complete with human like dummy's found scattered in the crash debris. Are we to believe the first responders had mistaken such an earthly project for an "out of this world" exotic technology? Would such debris from a project mogul command the military response/occupation days after the incident? Seems like overkill. I wonder, what type of autopsy was performed on these project dummies. Were they reassembled and placed in a clothing outlet to show off the latest fashion trend?

I would have gone with "crashed disk" or "swamp gas" on the poll,​
but neither were available.​

Aww man, I climbed that damn tree with the feather but he just kept snoozing. I started to feel like a creeper. I finally rang his doorbell a million times then ran to shake that last piece out of him. Didn't know I could go back and torment him some more (or I would have like a real alien! :D) !

I am a little disappointed that there was a complete lack of probes.
 
other for me, no way for me personally to say we can know the origin, but thanks for making the Poll Ron. If there was a choice that said "something beyond current level known technology of the time" that would of been my choice ;)

I was hoping to be able to abduct the cow. I also went back a few times to see if I could get the farmer to wake up, and I ran into the same thing as you a couple of times. I don't know why it worked sometimes and not others. One time the farmer had the bottom part of the disk stashed with him !

Ya that's how I got it. I kept ringing the bell until he woke up and ... dropped it. Not sure why he's sleeping outside on the top of the house though. Maybe for alien convenience? :D

Ah ha! So that's what the doorbell was for ... I never put A + B together there. I just noticed that it kept appearing on the ground once in a while ( duh on me ).

Haha, ya! You should hear the farmer grumble or something then THUD there's the floor of your ship. :p OMG ITS JUST LIKE ROSWELL!! :eek:
 
Roswell could be anything... but one thing it seems to have been is an inspiration.

Look at the 'black project' (painful and pathetic to look at) efforts to copy ;)

The memory metal... 50 years later
Shape-memory alloy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A shape-memory alloy (SMA, smart metal, memory metal, memory alloy, muscle wire, smart alloy) is an alloy that "remembers" its original, cold-forged shape: returning to the pre-deformed shape when heated. This material is a lightweight, solid-state alternative to conventional actuators such as hydraulic, pneumatic, and motor-based systems. Shape-memory alloys have applications in industries including medicine and aerospace.

Something obviously happened after WWII that seems to have oriented research in directions that didn't make sense relative to the state of scientific development in the 50's (remember slide rulers LOL). I'd call it a 'panic' moment where the U.S. military may have realized that it was severely outclassed by entities of unknown origin as well as being outclassed by German technology (jets and rockets). These mad efforts really look like high priority 'break-neck' covert reverse-engineering efforts with very limited science.

It was also a panic moment because it put the recent WWII victory in perspective and challenged a recently acquired image of US supremacy. Whoever these beings were, it may have been decided that under no circumstance should the idea of a higher intelligent authority be disclosed since it was impotent to respond to any aggression anyways. If you think about it, containing the 'panic' to within a small group inside the military may have been the best decision ;)
