There is a huge difference between a government cleanup with intentions of hiding downed alien craft and the cleanup which you would see for a downed airliner.
And any pieces of wreckage that may have been found by 'passers-by' would have been confiscated or discredited by the powers that be.
This of course is just speculation on my part and your theory could hold just as much water as mine. Thanks for the contribution.

The official story is pretty believable now that its been declassified. Basically it goes something like this: The US military wanted to find out if and when the USSR were setting off test nukes.
One of their scientists realized that the upper atmosphere is, in effect, a sound channel. So the project was to put a number of weather balloons up there with ‘disc’ microphones on them which would transmit back to various stations with the balloons coordinates when someone was heard. Thus allowing them to triangulate the position of the nuclear test.
Anyway apparently the disc microphones were dubbed ‘flying discs’.
As for the footage, I’m pretty sure that was proven to be fake. There was a few seconds of decayed ‘real footage’ but that might have been from any event at any time.
Anyway this story explains why they had to lie, and how some confusion may have occurred. I don’t know if I’m completely convinced by it but it does seem to fit snugly in that information gap.

No wreckage? I assume an advanced Alien craft would be built different than human aeroplanes and rockets. I'm sure if they can sustain immense space travel and survive space "hardships" they wouldn't explode like a grenade when hitting desert surface.

Get a team of people with state of the art metal detectors and lets do a sweep of the area. Lets see what can be found.

Fact is, we don't know how big this wreckage was. So we can't say, with 100% certainity, that it was "significant" wreckage. Do you have a link to a video of saucers crashing?

video.google.com.au...
That one has been circling for a while.

"Barking Spider, you're right, it is a Russian Bouncing Bomb prototype that on the third bounce explodes into shards of metal, the reason it is glowing is because it is burning. To prove it, watch the top right corner of the screen for about 3 frames at the start of the movie, it's a bomber aircraft."
He's got a point - you can see, in the top-right corner of the screen, an aircraft drop the object that ends up crashing to the surface. Makes sense to me.
1. What is the logistical advantage of having a bomb which bounces. Surely such a thing would just be harder to aim and therefore less useful.
2. I don’t know if you are familiar with the temperature at which steel glows white, but its not low. The video cannot be of the bomb having just been released unless the bomb is essentially a big flying canister of reacting termate (military thermite).
3. Where’s the explosion? If it’s a bomb shouldn’t it explode at the end? If the only purpose is to rain hot debris down on your enemy why not simply use a mortar?

If something, other than a balloon, crashed at Roswell in 1947, surely you'd be able to go out there today and pick up bits and pieces (of any size) of the "craft", right?

No. It's not right.
Go to a dangerous corner on a main road.
Go to a dented up telegragh pole.
Better yet, go to one with flowers, or a some kind of 'memorial shrine'.
Look around. Chances are that there was an accident there. But no doubt all the shrapnel has been cleaned up. This would be cleaned up by no more than one or two people, or even a street sweeper. This would be done within weeks of the crash.
But 'Roswell' is on a completely different level to a car crash, right? Then go to the surrounding areas of WTC or pentagon. Any aeroplane shrapnel?
It's not hard to clean a up a mess. There has been 57 years to clean up a local 'mess.'
