In 1947 americans were particularly paranoic (has it changed?)

Further to that:

"""NEWSWEEK ran an article titled "Balloon Mystery" in their 1 
January
1945 issue, and a similar story appeared in a newspaper the 
next day.
The Office of Censorship then sent a message to newspapers and 
radio
stations to ask them to make no mention of balloons and 
balloon-bomb
incidents, lest the enemy get the idea that they had a good 
thing
going."""

Perhaps the Roswell paper thought the ban was still in effect 
so it
didn't mention the balloon but only the equipment canister 
suspended
below it.

"""The fact that the balloons had been launched beginning in 
the fall
made them little menace. The incendiary bombs could have caused 
forest
fires, but by that time of year forests were generally too damp 
to
catch fire easily.

However, the authorities were worried about the balloons 
anyway. There
was the chance that they might get lucky. Much worse, the 
Americans had
some knowledge that the Japanese had been working on biological
weapons, most specifically at the infamous Unit 731 site at 
Pingfan in
Manchuria, and a balloon carrying biowarfare agents could be a 
real
threat. """

Maybe the military reacted because they thought the US was 
under attack
by balloons again, perhaps from the USSR.

So you're saying in effect, Jesse Marcel Snr, the top 
Intelligence Officer of the 509th
Bomb Squadron, the squadron that dropped the bomb on Japan, was 
unable to
recognize a bomb under a balloon?
The AF has stated the event at Roswell was caused by the 
misidentification of
a Mogul Radar Sonde, beneath a bunch of weather balloons. This 
Mogul device was
being tested to monitor when/if  Russia exploded a nuclear 
weapon. This
is the AF official stance. If this was the case, who would be the 
first person to
be told about a secret project?. The Intelligence Officer. So of 
course he would
recognize any debris. Not to mention the debris field was very 
large. So much
so the sheep wouldn't cross it, and it stretched 'as far as the 
eye could see.'
He certainly wouldn't take some of it home, wake his family to 
show them
something very unusual. Col Blanchard wouldn't have given 
permission for a Press
Release, stating a "Flying Saucer had been recovered"....
Even Col Du Boise has said the photographs of Marcel with a 
weather
balloon in Gen Ramey's office were a set-up!

You are attacking research on Roswell from the wrong angle. If 
you are
going to research, get it right. Work out which crash you're 
dealing with
as well, because there were two crashes in a similar time period. 
I'm
speaking of the Soccoro crash. This is much better documented and
is currently having a huge resurgence and will possibly overtake 
Roswell
as the 'smoking gun' needed to prove the existence of other non 
human
entities.
