Sargon, while you did post the summary page, I think it shows some ignorance
on the part of the Air Force about their potiential audience. They did a great job
in the main report and really tripped over their feet on the short version.
My excuse for them is that they were responding
to a Congressional inquiry and not to the public. (So they can't really say
what they mean without somebody getting mucho KP duty.)
I would recommend the reading of the full Executive Summary located here:
www.af.mil...
The brief conclusions you have posted do not do credit to the Air Force investigation.
I grew up in and around the area in question. The alien body stuff really is a recent invention.
When I was in high school, I used to travel regularly to Roswell. There were no
"alien" museums and tourist shops. The "only" UFO style discussions of that day
had to do with the "socorro" sighting by a police officer, which made all the local papers
and was rather widely regarded as a hoax. I never heard of the "Roswell" incident until
one of the early books on it came out, I believe in the late 70's, and almost overnight
some clever folks in Roswell figured out how to make a profit off it and keep this new
legend alive. And the legend began to grow. At one point, there were supposedly
three or four crashes around Roswell but the last time I went there, seems the
tourist traps were back to claiming only two.
To be fair to your post,
I think that it would not take much work to refute the historical references in their
(USAF) report, (pause.....) actually it took about 45 minutes but I am not really
for posting my findings because I totally agree with the conclusions in the (USAF) long version.
In summary, Sargon, I believe the USAF conclusions but for different
reasons than they give. (Worked the problem wrong but got the right answer)

A little story about a boy and crying wolf comes to mind.....
