I hope your right, because that would be the best laugh I've had in a long
time. I wonder what contortions of logic the debunkers would use to suddenly
rationalize how that Mogul debris, including the infamous tape with flower
patterns, suddenly doesn't explain the crash any more.  And how did that
radar target and weather balloon get in Ramey's office if it wasn't from
Mogul?  You don't suppose that Ramey swapped it for the real debris, just
like that "liar" Marcel and senile old man Gen. Dubose said happened?
And how is it that the Air Force lost their Fugo/Horten in the first place?
Why didn't anybody go out looking for it.  Why did it take a sheep rancher
wandering into town before the Air Force had any idea where their Top Secret
Project went to?

Yes, the comedic possibilities are endless. Maybe the title of their new
report will be, "Roswell:  Dumb and Dumber." Jim Carey could be cast in the
role of Gen. Ramey for the new movie version.

Now that I've composed myself again, my guess is that it will never happen.
The media has dutifully gone along (like Mac Brazel's sheared sheep) with
the Mogul nonsense  right from the start.  The Air Force would be shooting
itself in the foot to come out with a completely new version now.  It would
raise too many embarrassing questions.  Even the press isn't that stupid
(then again, maybe they are).  The Air Force would be wisest to let sleeping
Moguls lie.

Yes, but the debunking community is very adaptable and will use whatever
rationalizations and self-delusions necessary to swallow the new, improved
version.  So will most of the press.  These guys can't think their way out of
a paper bag.

I'll say one good thing for the Fugo balloon theory.  The very tough
parchment described by Marcel, which Brazel said was covered with Japanese or
Chinese-like writing, did bear some resemblance to Fugo balloon material
(though I think Marcel would easily have recognized the writing as Japanese).
 It obviously didn't come from the ridiculous fictional "parchment
parachutes" of Mogul (they used small silk parachutes for the payload -- its
marked on the diagrams).   Of course, we still have no explanation for the
rest of the materials, like the thin metal that couldn't be cut and returned
to its original shape when crumpled.

If you reread Charles Moores interview, you'll also notice that McAndrew
asked him about two Fugo balloons that were supposedly delivered to Mogul.
 Moore said he knew nothing about it, and that the constant level balloons
were of their own design.  It's possible McAndrew was already preparing a
backup position.

What I don't understand is why the Air Force would bother to change their
story.  Like I said above, the press is too stupid and gutless to challenge
their Mogul story.  If they do come out with this remarkable change of story
(I'd bet against it), it must be because they're getting a lot of pressure at
the top, possibly even the White House.  That would be a good sign.  It
means those that count didn't buy their first report and the Air Force was
forced to change stories in order to stall for more time.
