Body Snatchers in the Desert: The Redfern Hypothesis

Redfern came up with an interesting and plausible explanation
for the tedious Roswell myth. His research indicated the incident
was a post WWII aviation experiment that went wrong. A balloon
carrying a lifting body aircraft ran into a storm, disintigrated,
and crashed into the desert. The crew of the aircraft were
killed.
The flying saucer story was used by the military to hide the
facts and avoid a messy investigation.

That's it really.

Hard core Roswell believers of course, reject any explanation
that contradicts the ETH. For them, Roswell is about aliens
and nothing else. Amen.
