First off, let me say that I think that it is likely that the Roswell

inconsistencies that debunkers continue to ignore, and rely on gov't
assertions contrary to truth, and evidence of records tampering and
descruction. THis tells me that someone is dirty in the gov't and there
is something being hidden, and its no weather balloon.

Nope, it was a report by a soldier who claimed to be at the crash site
of the full vehicle, not the Brazel ranch.

If its all cultural related to current scifi literature projections of
technology, where are the cyber abductions? Where are the "I was
uploaded by an alien" stories?

The reports I've seen said that the materials, when looked at under a
microscope, looked like they were made up of bazillions of microscopic
welds.

This would necessitate a welding machine the size of bacteria, eh?

Corso was at the base at the time. This is known.

You forget the bureaucratic machine. Don't have something on base?
where's the right contractor? From what I've seen of Area 51, its all
contractor run. From my own experience on many bases, most of the
logisitics stuff is handled by civilians and contractors.

The photos released were several days later, after Gen Ramey had put the
cover story in place. Considering that weather balloons were heavily
used by the weather people on base, gussying up something in a day or so
would be rather easy.

According to Brazel, the eve before he initially found the scattered
peices (June 15th), he and his family experienced a huge explosive
sound, louder in his opinion than the lightning that was common on
summer evenings in that area.

The idea is that some explosion occured on the craft, spewing stuff over
Brazel's field, but the craft still had altitude and crashed a number of
miles away, which is where the main vehicle and bodies were found.

But the mogul project was BASED at Roswell. If anyone knew what a Mogul
balloon was, it would have been the people at Roswell field.

Anyways, outside of the radio reciever, the mogul balloon was exactly
like a normal weather balloon. The radar reflectors were for radar
tracking of the balloon.

The payload was a string of radar reflectors and a radio receiver with a
tape device. Not hush hush.

According to the story, the larger wreckage was found several days or
weeks later, once the story was clamped on.
