what really happened in Roswell?

There are aliens out there.  I work with some and I suspect they are not all legal.

The US government will tell the truth about contact with extraterrestrials when it actually happens.\nNow go put your tinfoil hat back on.

I had to look it up which is the one thing about Yahoo Answers that I adore, all of these questions about thing you never heard of before. It sounded interesting so this is what I found.\n\nThey may be all around us... in the sky, in the water, even in our homes. They have been captured only on film and videotape. No one knows what they are, where they come from, whether or not they are alive, and they have never been touched or seen at rest.\n\nThey are called "rods," "skyfish" and sometimes "solar entities." Although the video evidence is compelling that they are quite real and probably living creatures, they are completely unknown to science - a fascinating and baffling mystery.\n\nSkyfish were first documented by filmmaker José Escamilla, who discovered them by accident. In 1994, Escamilla had videotaped a "conventional" UFO near Midway, New Mexico. Fourteen days later, while seeking to photograph the UFO again, he instead captured a flying object that was not a vehicle of any kind. At first he thought it was just an insect or bird. When he examined the film frame by frame, however, it became clear that what he had captured on film was something unknown. Later, more distinct images were captured while Escamilla was filming cliff jumpers at a deep cave in Mexico. When he developed the film, small flying things could be seen zipping around the divers at a high rate of speed - so fast that they weren't seen with the naked eye. \n\nThe enhanced frames of film revealed that the flying thing appeared to be rod-shaped with two undulating wings or appendages along the length of the body and which gave it the appearance of swimming through the air. Escamilla dubbed them "rods" and has since filmed and videotaped them dozens of times. And after introducing them to the public through his website, roswellrods.com, he has received further reports and video and photographic evidence from other parts of the US and around the world. The strange flying enigmas have also turned up in documentary footage, TV news shots and even feature films.\n\nAre They Alive?\n\nWithout a specimen in hand to examine, it's impossible to determine whether or not skyfish are living organisms, but it's Escamilla's best guess that they are. The video evidence certainly makes them seem so. They move through the air like insects or birds, sometimes darting around objects with a kind of animal intelligence - but at a speed far greater than any known insect or bird. How fast? Analysis of film and video of skyfish from around the world indicate that they can be moving as fast as 150 to 1,000 miles per hour - faster than the speed of sound. \n\nHow big are they? The same analysis indicates that they might range in size from just a few inches to perhaps over a hundred feet in length! How could something that large be unknown? That's part of the skyfish mystery, yet there they are on video.\n\nAlthough most skyfish have been seen in the air outdoors, they have also been photographed and videotaped indoors and even underwater. A photograph displayed on Kitty's Kitchen website appears to show a skyfish in mid-flight ready to pass through a doorway in her home. And a TV news report on Escamilla from KCOP Channel 13 includes clear footage of a skyfish swimming in a stream, indicating that they are equally at home in the water

WTF?\n\nWhatever dude.  This does not even deserve a reasonable response.  Everyone knows that aliens did it as revenge for the UFO we shot down at Roswell.

Only god knows what really happened.  I have all kinds of suspicions, but we would have to ask these officials to investigate and prosecute themselves, and that isn't likely to ever happen.

I don't know were you have been but there have been reported UFOs and crashes all over the world.Oh yeah no one here thinks Michael Moore, Jerry Springer,or professional wrestling is for real. I have had trouble trying to convert Oprah fans though.

I would think that a conspiracy theory that is more fact than theory would be the most believable one. For example; Area 51... Area 51, also called Groom Lake, is a fact, not a mere theory. Area 51 is not on any map, but Groom Lake is. You can also see it in satellite images that are commonly available in the internet. Many people theorize on what goes on at Area 51 however. I, however, have been there myself and can personally account for what goes on there. There is at least one tour company that offers tours to Area 51 where the average citizen can see the wonders that abound there and participate in many of the bases "secret" activities. See, what you do is sign up for the tour. The tour will take you to the edge of Groom Lake where you will see signs that say that deadly force is authorized if you proceed past that point. Now you have to be part of the tour to gain access beyond that point, otherwise, you will be shot.  Seriously, the guys in the black pickups don’t joke around.\n\nNow the tour takes you up the road and over the ridge into the dry lake bed. It gets a little fun because as you cross the dry lake bed, speeds can reach 120 mph or so. The lake bed itself is huge. Then you come up on some huge buildings. Inside the buildings are the alien spacecraft that they have captured over the years. There are quite a few of them. This is where the substance of the tour takes place. Now they also carry out secret military operations at the base, which nobody gets to see, they mainly happen at night and all of the tours are during the day.\n\nWhile you are in the alien spacecraft hanger you get to climb on some of the smaller craft, and they even have an alien spaceship flight simulator for those that are adventurous enough to try it. The whole tour is really cool. While I was there I actually got to meet one of the captured aliens. He or she, nobody knows for sure, is not really a prisoner, but its spacecraft crashed after skimming our atmosphere over the south pole so it has no way to get home. But they also won’t let it leave the base without a heavy escort.\n\nToward the end of the tour, before driving back across the dry lake, they take everyone into a small room, with pale green walls. On one of the walls is a large television looking screen. Once the door closes, the screen starts flashing weird colors and bright lights. Most people pass out and have to be carried back to the tour vehicle, but some are able to walk. Usually most people sort of wake up outside of the gate and they don’t remember anything after approaching the gate in the first place. It is weird, kinda like the blinky thing in MIB. I have only been there once and I don’t really remember any of the cool stuff, but that’s what they tell me happened. I was there and I can tell you - that’s the truth. If you have the opportunity to visit the Little A'Le'Inn Restaurant and Bar on the Extraterrestrial Highway in Rachel, ask them about the tours, they will tell you.\n\nI also visited the sight where JFK was shot - I am telling you, there is no way it makes sense that he was shot from the Book Depository.

The Easter Bunny is real. Section 32 hid the Truth; there was no third gunman on the grassy knoll. Elvis isn't Dead, we never went to the Moon, the holocaust didn't happen and aliens didn’t visit us from another planet at Roswell, NM in 1947.

There are so many inexplicable details I have read regarding the an alien spaceship crashing in Roswell NM, which supposedly resulted in alien bodies being stored in AREA 51.\n\nIf there was really no crash, why did the military and the government threaten so many people to keep silent about what they saw?  Why was the area sealed off and every inch combed by hundreds of military personnel?

Depends on the situation... if he just suddenly out of nowhere said he'd been abducted by a flying saucer then no I wouldn't believe it. But if there is some solid evidence then sure I'd believe him.

People can actually NEVER prove what really happened...behind the scenes...

Area 51 is real, but I couldn't be sure if they have aliens, or alien craft there or not. It would be interesting to REALLY know, as well as know what our government REALLY know about UFO's and things like that. Like Project Blue Book.

Our governement has definately recovered at least three flying saucers. UFO means Unidentified Flying Object, so just about any air-base that runs night operations is a UFO base. A bug can be a UFO, a cloud can be a UFO, if it flies and you cant identify it, its a UFO. Area 51 did house some really interesting 'out of this world' stuff at one time, but it is not known to me if it still does or even if it housed the 'stuff' for long. Area 51 is the focal-point of alot of flying saucer mythology because of an event or two that transpired there many decades ago. Our government knows about this weird stuff, to some degree or another, but will NEVER come clean on it, so dont ever involve them in anything if you find something very interesting. They would just 'clean up the mess' and you would probably get 'rubbed' in the process. The truth, as far as ive been able to piece together, is that the flying saucers and those who pilot them are coming not from outer space, but from within the Earth. Im not talking some Hollow Planet, Inner Sun gibberish here, but it is pretty kooky, none the less. There is at least one civilization of beings who reside in gigantic caverns and networks deep beneath the crust of our planet, possibly near or at where continental shelves pull apart or meet but dont touch together everywhere, or something. I think they, the real 'they', are the decendants of human-sized, intelligent, bipedal dinosaurs who got trapped in caves and found places that harbor life deep in the earth. They eventually developed scientific stuff including genetic manipulation and created the hairy dwarves, 'bigfoot', and 'grey aliens' that are sometimes reported seen. They may have had something to do with our own development. That would help explain why their mind tricks are so effective on us. A random process that developed on a completely alien planet would probably not be as strong as their mind tricks are when used on us.

Yes, it is a large five-sided building located just west of Washington DC. The most important alien looks like a human with close cropped hair and steel rimmed glasses - his human name is Rumsfeld.\n\nBut most of the Roswell technology is kept in Area 51. If you pretend to be a drunken frat kid who got lost on the way from Vegas, you might get a look.

This is nothing new...people have been carrying on about this place for the last 25 years...they supposedly have the bodies of the extra-terrestrials who crashed in Roswell NM back in 1947. In reality it's a secluded place where the military can play with it's new toys without the fear of prying eyes...it's a BIG base... oh and that Bob Lazar guy they mention has been discredited as a lying nut ball...he never worked there. Now that Area 51 has such a high profile, I imagine all the really secret stuff has been moved to a place that is actually still a secret.

played with a ouiji board by myself and it moved when my hands were not even on it.\n\ni know someone who claims he has been abducted all his life by aliens...several species, not just one race.\n\nalso know someone who claimed time was frozen for a moment when he was in a large shopping mall. everything stopped except for him. he looked around and saw a women walking wearing a large trench coat and wearing funny looking glasses. when she noticed that he saw here she disapeared and time resumed again.\n\ni also saw myself driving my car. my licence plate, me in the driver seat, wearing my coat and my glasses. i was also in my car when i saw him. we were both stopped at an intersection. i chased him/me and eventualy lost him.

Who knows, probably. I think they've been using the crop circles for navigation. We'll probably never know since the government is so secretive on this topic (Roswell, Area 51).
