Dear Bob,

Thank you for giving me the single greatest
laugh I've EVER had in reading a piece of
mail.

After I got over my chuckle, I re-read your
"Theory" and MUST admit, it definitely sounds
like it certainly contains a large amount of
"SWAMP GAS.".......<laughing>.....OH, and
I agree it does make as much sense as the
"Official" one.

In all seriousness though, I do still wonder that
nobody has asked this question before as to
how a "CRASHED Balloon" of ANY nature could
be possibly given as an explanation to Roswell.

I'm sorry, but even if they had HURRICANE type
winds, the balloon would NOT have been torn
apart to place debris all over the place, it still
would have remained relatively intact.  I believe
that many of us are realizing that now, and hence
the questions.

Thanks Again,
Dave (Furry)
