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
Military disc-shaped aircraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The memory metal... 50 years later
Shape-memory alloy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

... not to mention the nano-tech solutions to foil/fibers with unusual properties
Nanofabrics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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
