What if all the stories of “back-engineering” are bogus and were designed—at the height of the Cold War—to unnerve and confuse the Soviets.
Area 51 The Revealing Truth of Ufos, Secret Aircraft, Cover-Ups & Conspiracies
Consider the possibility that this is all that the theoretical group that oversees the Roswell affair has in its possession. No “power plant,” no “engine,” no “flight deck,” and no “fuel tank”—just a lot of mystifying, so-called “memory metal,” as the debris is described on account of its mystifying abilities to spring back to its original shape even after being crushed. As for the bodies— whether in fairly good shape or pulverized and shattered—what if studies have yielded very little beyond the conclusion that they aren’t exactly what you would call locals? How is it even possible for us not to have made any progress since 1947? The answer to that question is: very easily, that’s how.
Imagine sending a modern-day car back in time, let’s say three hundred years, and dumping it where it’s sure to be found. The finest minds of that era would, very likely, be able to conclude that it was designed to transport people from one place to another. If the ignition key was turned on, the engine rumbled into life, and the steering wheel turned, chances are that those same finest minds would actually be able to drive the car—after a fair bit of practice, of course.
What happens when the car runs out of fuel, though? If the people of that period are unable to duplicate the fuel that the car requires—whether diesel or unleaded gasoline—they will be left with a shell that offers great potentials but that is as good as dead and useless, and that should make us wonder if something similar has happened regarding Roswell—if, of course, the answer goes down an alien path and not a far more down-to-earth one.
If all that our theoretical, secret group at Area 51 has in its possession is a huge mass of memory metal and a bunch of corpses (and nothing else), then it becomes incredibly easy to understand how very little progress might actually have been made, particularly so if (in the same way that unleaded fuel could not be successfully duplicated three hundred years ago) we have not yet developed adequate means to understand and use the technology. The possible outcome?
The corpses and the debris are stored away somewhere (Raiders of the Lost Ark- style), perhaps even barely ever studied, until such a time comes when our technology allows for meaningful scrutiny to be undertaken.
The skeptics do, admittedly, make a very good point that with thousands of people hypothetically working on the analysis of a crashed UFO and its crew, the truth should have surfaced by now whether by the actions of some Edward Snowden-type character or by accident—the latter perhaps more likely due to the complex logistics of trying to oversee and contain so many interrelated programs and projects.
The believers counter this stance by making comparisons with the Manhattan Project that led to the development and deployment of the atomic bomb. It was a project on which a massive number of people worked, but that project remained a secret for years. Yes, it did, but not for seventy years— which is where, today, we’re at with Roswell.
I should stress that I’m not skeptical—in the slightest—of the idea that something of significance occurred back in July 1947. It clearly did. We should be very skeptical of the idea that with supposed “UFO back-engineering” going on all over the map—and with claims in circulation of numerous programs established to replicate alien technology found outside of Roswell—the smoking gun would not, by now, have surfaced, and, it can be suggested, if aliens did die in New Mexico almost seventy years ago, then the Indiana Jones/Raiders of the Lost Ark scenario may be the correct one—as incredible and as unlikely as it may sound to many.
The wall of secrecy that has prevented us from knowing the truth of Roswell has not been knocked down. A strong case can be made that it has barely been dented, that it may not be (as many UFO researchers believe) due to highly efficient, incredible security surrounding every single aspect of what amounts to a gigantic program involving the military, the government, the intelligence community, and who knows how many private industries and corporations.
The Roswell secrets may remain so successfully hidden because no one—at all—is doing anything with the debris or with the bodies beyond keeping everything locked behind closed doors until such a time comes when our technology “catches up” and we can finally begin to understand it. Certainly, the easiest way to hide something perceived as deeply worrying and perhaps even sinister—for nearly seventy years from the General Accounting Office, the Air Force, the media, and the UFO research community—is to lock it firmly away and do absolutely nothing with it.
