Personally I don't like the way that believers ignore the very plain fact
that all contemporary accounts match that of a Mogul balloon and these
accounts weren't challenged until a third of a century later. Or do you
really believe that alien spacecraft are held together with scotch tape?

Again, if the saucer didn't exist then such reports don't matter. I mean,
I could claim to have been at the crash site and been temporally
distorted to the 1990s, but it wouldn't make it true.

How often do you see those on Star Trek? They haven't yet filtered down
into popular culture.

Possibly, but why should anyone believe the reports? And why would anyone
with the ability to build such a machine bother with 'welding'? Why not
just stick it together atom by atom to produce a perfect surface?

Interesting; evidence?

And you think that such an organisation could keep this 'crashed alien
spacecraft' a secret for thirty-three years? Why is ignoring these
inconsistencies bad for 'debunkers', but fine for believers?
Anyway, if this mortician is the same one mentioned at www.roswell.org
then his testimony is extremely suspect. That guy supposedly stated that
he visited the base with a nurse, and gave her name. That nurse isn't
mentioned in any contemporary records. When told this, our first-hand
witness admitted that yes, actually that wasn't her real name, and he
wouldn't give that out. Yeah, right. See the kind of people believers rely
on for their stories?

So. You have evidence that anything was substituted? *Marcel says that the

Alamogordo. Sorry.

Well, according to the Sceptical Enquirer:
"While many UFO proponents claim the wreckage shown in General Ramey's
office was just a weather balloon switched for the "real debris," Moore
pointed out that the radar targets used by NYU were unlike anything flown
in New Mexico before and that "they were not available in Fort Worth to be
substituted for the debris in General Ramey's office." Warrant Officer
Newton was able to recognize the debris in General Ramey's office because
he happened to have used an early version of the same targets while
serving as a weatherman in Okinawa. The earlier-model targets Newton used
did not have the reinforcing tape with the pinkish-purple flower designs."
But I guess Moore (one of the Project Mogul scientists) is just part of the
government coverup, right?

Again, a story which didn't appear until over a third of a century later.
No-one has so far managed to produce any published account of a crashed
alien spacecraft at Roswell prior to "The Roswell Incident", which itself
only included second-hand accounts.
