Roswell Story Gets New Legs

   Ugh. I see that the PR officer who for decades denied seeing any alien
   spacecraft or bodies at Roswell [1]signed a deathbed confession taking
   it all back. The full text of his affidavit is apparently [2]right
   here.

   Assuming the affidavit itself is not a forgery (might it be?) I find
   myself more annoyed by this than anything. Let's assume for the moment
   that it's all true. There was an alien spaceship with bodies
   recovered. There was a massive coverup by the government. And not only
   this guy, but everyone else in the military involved kept their mouths
   completely shut for decades. For what reason?

   At bare minimum, Walter Haut is a complete jerk in my mind. Either he
   covered up something extraordinarily important for decades for no good
   reason, or, if there were good reasons he failed to say what they
   were. Either way, he's a liar or a senile crank who left a deathbed
   confession in a way that no one could ask him any pointed questions
   about.

   I would actually very much like to believe in alien visitors from
   outer space. The problem is, I gave up believing in it many years ago,
   because the evidence is so slim. Things like this just annoy me. Why
   didn't you have the courage to expose yourself to cross-examination,
   Haut? And if as you claim there were military personnel crawling all
   over the wreckage site and guarding the vehicle and bodies, why have
   none of them come forward either? And what possible reason would the
   military have for keeping this all secret for a half century? And why
   would they continue to keep it a secret even now? "We don't want to
   cause public panic" is a ridiculous answer.

   How annoying.
