There is no argument that 'Roswell happened', that newspapers published
stories about what was called a flying sauser, and that "all the people
came". The only disagreement is about where the so called 'flying
saucer' came from.

The three reports that are alleged to be so inconsistent and thus lied
reported that the object was:

1) a balloon
2) a 'flying saucer' suspended under a balloon
3) a weather balloon

At the time the USAF was trying to fly balloons ove the USSR to monitor
for atomic testing. These were large balloons with equipment containers
hanging below. The containers were circular disk shapes.  As this was a
secret project there was a cover story that they were weather balloons.

The paper made a lot of money by publishing the 'flying saucer' bit but
forgetting to add the 'under a balloon' and the town has made its
living from UFOlogy cult followers ever since.
