Jared,

I haven't read the FULL report either, so I guess I am not qualified
to speak in the eyes of KKK.

However, as one who works in the magazine publishing business, I know
PR hype when I see it, and the AF web site is just that.

Notice on the opening page they use only three photos from the report.
The first is of Alderson Anthropomorphic Dummies, and was obviously
picked for its shadowy nature, and the fact it looks like alien scenes
from sci-fi movies.  The second is of a NASA Voyager capsule being
lifted by a crane.  It was obviously picked because it looks like
a UFO and because it resembles tales of the Roswell crash craft being
lifted by a crane.  Tellingly it is not dated, and to those who don't
know better it might imply that this is somehow relevant to 1947.  The
photo of the dummies is not dated either.  The third photo shows a
Viking capsule in the desert in 1972.  Would someone please tell me
what the bloody hell this has to do with ANYTHING?????  Sure it looks
like a crashed flying saucer in the desert, but so effing what!

I do not find this one bit funny.  I think it is a blatant attempt to
mislead people into thinking that these three photos, the oldest of
which is around a decade later in vintage than Roswell, are somehow
related to that event.

The whole premise of the report seems to be that people confused
events which occurred from 1956 through 1972 in their minds, and then
got this all balled up and confused with a balloon crash in 1947.

I just can't buy that.

Bob
