Very interesting.

This guy being interviewed is retelling a story someone told him who heard it from someone else.
Good ol’ Bushman. Quite a storyteller. We discussed him at AU a while back and I came to the conclusion Boyd is a good ol’ storyteller.
Research the guy and see what you come up with. Maybe I missed something.

The interviewer was not a professional imo and the interviewer made a glaring error when presenting historical science ‘facts’.
He said the Tesla death ray (sic Tesla called it a "teleforce" weapon and it is more accurately described as a particle beam weapon.) was a LASER weapon and was a viable weapon in 1947.
He implied he found this out through the Freedom of Information Act and bla bla bla

As far as I know, the LASER was not developed until 1960.
There is no evidence that Tesla’s ’death ray’ was ever developed.

So… Who made this video? ~rore

For a start he shows a picture of an F86 Sabre jet, now didn't Roswell happen in early july 1947, and his friend just happened to be flying around in this jet, funny that considering the Prototype didn't start flying till October of 1947...



So the old man is lying or he just likes the attention he gets from telling people what they want to hear....

I've no doubt the guys had a few free dinners telling this story

The whole story he tells, stinks. Stinks of BS!

hmmm.


what if roswell was just a cover story to actually reveal the alien presence to the people, in an indirect, impermanent way. to prepare them, just in case alien invasion did occur, but to keep the technology secret, due to security reasons. (bah, as if weapons of mass destruction arent readily available anyway)

pretend to shoot down an alien ship, on july fourth... lol what is it with these rediculous dates.

Roswell was a cover story for the crash of a working SR-71 prototype (XYF-22 01).

TFA posts: Roswell was a cover story for the crash of a working SR-71 prototype (XYF-22 01).
==================
OK TFA. You have my interest.

As far as I know, the SR-71 began development in the mid 1950’s.

Do you have a reference from a reliable source that the XYF-22 01, is the prototype of the SR-71 flying around in 1947? I love aviation history and am hoping you can fill in this detail. ~rore

Rore...I agree...I'd love to hear about as well....but if memory serves the YF-12A program began as you said in the mid 1950s and was announced to the public as the SR-71 in 1964....after the fighter program had been cancelled.

By the way...its good to see you again....

Excuse me, gentlemen, I stand corrected as I had my wires crossed in another thought. You are correct, as far as I know, the SR-71 (A-12) first flew on 25 April 1962. The secret plane I was actually thinking of, but mistyped, was the Boeing B-47 Stratojet, which was Boeing's first (and indeed the US's) first jet bomber. Link:

I believe the official record states that it first flew in late 1947, however, a source that I read but have since forgotten documented actual flight testing as early as March of that year. Hence why this occurred near RAAF, which at the time was the world's only nuclear weapons intallation. This was to be a strategic nuclear bomber specifically because of its speed. But it was still highly secret then.

What if Roswell was a place where a weather balloon crashed and locals thought it was a UFO because they had no prior knowledge of what a weatherballon looked like.


And the media then found a way to sell newspapers telling everyone there was aliens and the government has them at Roswell. And then, the local stores started selling UFO stuff to attract people to Roswell because without Aliens, no one would even know what Rosewell is...


Just a thought...

Nah, too implausible.

Ok if more then three hundred government officers have stepped out saying that what you have dealt with at Rosewell wasn't anything from this planet, I don't think you can call that a weather balloon.

Not only that people did know what weather balloons looked like,the japanese during the War used ballons with incendary and explosive devices to float across the pacific as a fear tactic against the US.i was abandoned due to lack of sucess.although there was a case in the US of some children and a couple of adults (I think)were killed when they discovered one of the unexploded devices in some woodland.It was also one of the only mainland attacks on american soil.

LOL

yes, i know i can see it now.never post when stoned!
