A scholarly consensus emerged concluding that the military decided to conceal the true purpose of the crashed device– nuclear test monitoring–and instead inform the public that the crash was of a weather balloon. [1] The balloon had been launched from Alamogordo Army Air Field a month earlier. It carried a radar reflector and classified Project Mogul sensors for experimental monitoring of Soviet nuclear testing. [174] On July 9, 1947, the US Army identified the debris as an ordinary weather balloon. [5] [6] As described in the July 9, 1947, edition of the Roswell Daily Record: Media interest in the case dissipated soon after the July 8 press conference where General Ramey, his chief of staff Colonel Thomas Dubose, and weather officer Irving Newton identified material as pieces of a weather balloon. [30] [5] Irving explained to reporters that similar radar targets were used at about 80 weather stations. According to Irving, balloons would be attached to a star-shaped reflective target. After launch, the balloon would expand with increasing altitude before bursting around 60,000 feet. [18] [31] The authors claimed to have interviewed over 90 witnesses, though the testimony of only 25 appears in the book. Only seven of these people claimed to have seen the debris. Of these, five claimed to have handled it. [84] Two accounts of witness intimidation were included in the book, including the incarceration of Mac Brazel. [85]

McAndrew, James (1997). The Roswell report: case closed (PDF). Washington, DC: US Government Printing Office. ISBN 9780160490187. Charles Ziegler argues that the Roswell story exhibits characteristics typical of traditional folk narratives. He identifies six distinct narratives and a process of transmission through storytellers, wherein a core story was formed from various witness accounts and then shaped and altered by those involved in the UFO community. Additional "witnesses" were sought to expand upon the core narrative, while accounts that did not align with the prevailing beliefs were discredited or excluded by the "gatekeepers".

Technology of the Gods author David Childress goes on to say: “The miltary was there, the FBI was there, and he was astonished to find that this was the crash of some sort of UFO and that the being was an extraterrestrial.” Siegler, Kirk; Baker, Liz (June 5, 2021).

Why all the UFOs

Days after Roswell, on July 11, the press reported the recovery of a 30-inch (76cm) disc from the yard of a home in Twin Falls, Idaho. [38] [39] On July 12, it was reported nationally that the Twin Falls disc was a hoax. [40] Press reported that four teenagers had confessed to creating the disc. [40] Photos of the object were then publicly released. [40] The object was described as containing radio tubes, electric coils, and wires underneath a plexiglass dome. [40]

I would argue that to a much lesser extent, this is something we all do every day when listening to politicians as well.
