Well stated here Don, I would just like to add one thing (please
anyone feel free to correct me here if I'm wrong) It's been my
understanding that none of the Roswell crash witnesses like Frank
Kauffman and such ever asserted that the crashed UFO was saucer
shaped. in fact, none of them said that it was even round. Wasn't the
accepted shape of the UFO that crashed a delta-wing configuration that
was cracked in the center? This little detail was really going through
my mind as I watched the CNN coverage of the press conference and
Haynes' descriptions of footage that were showing saucer shaped lifting
bodies attached to ballons and parachutes. All the time I was wondering
to myself "I don't think the Air Force got the shape right, here"
