Later this month, the Air Force will release the results of its second
study, launched after UFOlogists complained that its 1994 report did
not address the issue of alien bodies. ("It seemed rational to us,"
explains the Air Force's Weaver, "that since we proved there were no
UFOs, it automatically meant no aliens.")
For a few years after 1947, the report will explain, the Air Force
conducted experiments that involved dropping dummies from high-altitude
balloons to study the results of the impact. Witnesses' descriptions of
the "aliens," the Air Force notes, closely match the characteristics of
the dummies: 3 1/2 ft. to 4 ft. tall, bluish skin coloration and no
ears, hair, eyebrows or eyelashes.
"What quite likely happened," says Weaver, "is that people who saw
these dummies mistook them for aliens." And, he notes, because no
mention of aliens was made until 1978, those "who were interviewed were
trying to recall events that took place 30 years earlier." Weaver
blames UFOlogists for "linking" these sightings, which occurred after
1947, to the original Roswell incident.
