The thing about Roswell, is that there is a lot of good info, and a lot of bull.
However, when you boil it down to the facts...
1. SOMETHING crashed near Roswell in 1947.
2. This SOMETHING was recovered by the military.
3. This SOMETHING was then flown to different bases specializing in analyzing foreign technology.
4. The Army ANNOUNCED they had captured a flying disc.
5. The government has been CAUGHT in lies, so the deception is actually a FACT in this case.
Now, apply some common sense.
1. There is NO way that any tech in 1947 made by us, or other nations, would STILL be classified. Even the most advanced innovation then would be quite obsolete now.
2. Numerous military ranking personnel and other witnesses have consistent statements that point to an otherworldly origin for these things.

Reportedly the disc indeed inspired some Nazi scientists to construct different models of disc-shaped planes and the so-called flying bombs."

Yep, yep, and yep. I couldn't agree more. I especially agree that Something Crashed, Something was Covered Up, the Military Lied, they Are Still Lying...

One thing I wonder about the authors of "The Roswell Report: Case Closed"... Were the authors deliberately creating a work of disinformation or were they simply duped by "the authorities" that they referenced?
Anyways, it is funny (IMO) that they actually still have the temerity/audacity to post this stuff on their own website.
USAF Continues its Roswell Mythos
I hope that I won't be accused of being a "government disinformationist" simply for posting the link. I think most reasonable and informed people would agree with Gazrok that the USAF is lying about what happened - and is "covering up the truth" whatever that might be.
PUBLIC INFORMATION, DISINFORMATION
The Caretaker:
“In order to protect all this information and the fact that the United States Government has evidence of our planet being visited by extraterrestrials, we developed over the years a very effective program to safeguard the information. We call it ‘Project DOVE.’ It is a complex series of operations by our military intelligence agencies to disinform the public.”
This photo was taken at the NASA Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base, California on 6 May 1960 as part of an elaborate effort by the CIA to cover-up the true nature of the U-2 spy plane program. On 1 May 1960 CIA pilot Francis Gary Powers was shot down over the Soviet Union during a spy flight. Cooperating with the CIA, NASA issued a press release with a cover story about a U-2 conducting weather research that may have strayed off course after the pilot "reported difficulties with his oxygen equipment." This photo shows a U-2 that was quickly painted in NASA markings, with a fictitious NASA serial number, and put on display for the news media at the Edwards NASA facility.
In reality, up to that time no U-2 was ever used by NASA. Unfortunately, Powers was captured by the Soviet Union and espionage equipment was recovered from the wreckage. Soviet Premier Nikita Khruschev exposed the cover-up and made much propaganda use of the American deception.

First of all, it's ridiculous to state that anyone is incapable of being discredited due to ethnic origin. Every human "subspecies" is just as capable of deception (or insanity) as any other.
Secondly, there is no need to "discredit" Chief Golden Light Eagle or most of the other people you're quoting and defending, as they present no objective facts or evidence to be discredited.
The world is full of people who hear voices and receive "telepathic communications" from or have visions of/from God, the Devil, angels, demons, aliens, animals, spirits, spirit guides, and miscellaneous other assorted dead people. Fortunately most of the world applies common-sense logic with at least a nod to the "Scientific Method" and doesn't find auditory hallucinations, "telepathic messages," or visions to be creditable unless there is good, objective supporting evidence that they are real outside the experiencer's mind.
Another fallacy I find is that when even part of something is considered to be wrong, the whole information about it has to be wrong - this is a pretty WRONG thinking. A lot of the stories are truth mixed with made up or changed information and this is how true and untrue mix together.

Well, that depends. Do you want to be the only one "in the know," like a kid with a secret clubhouse? Or do you want to help convince "the rest of the world" that conspiracy theories, ufology, cryptozoology, and paranormal studies might be something more than a bunch of crazy, deluded people who believe in "fairy tales"?
Although I participate in "debunking" things such as UFO/ghost photographs which are actually birds, lens flare, insects, or dust motes, my aim is not to "debunk" anything, it's to "deny ignorance" and present people with the best possible evidence in hopes of getting some of them to take it seriously.
I'm sorry, but I just can't take seriously anything that comes from someone named "Chief Golden Light Eagle."

Those who have been tasked with keeping the truth secret have mastered the art of disinformation. The unfortunate part about Roswell is time. Time is the enemy for those who seek the truth. With the passing of each witness to Roswell we are losing part of the truth.
I think you're also right about the Military-Industrial Complex. While President Eisenhower explicitly warned us about it, I doubt even he realized just how powerful it would become.
I think the target was the news media and the people of Roswell. The Army didn't want reporters and locals to dig deeper, so they embarrassed the AP and discredited the eyewitnesses in Roswell.

I had an idea today on disinformation. We can learn something about the truth by understanding the target of the disinformation. For example, I've been arguing that the initial press release from Roswell was deliberate disinformation instead of the more commonly accepted alternatives (truth that slipped-out or mis-identification of a Mogul balloon). Who was the target of that disinformation? The Russians would immediately recognize it as disinformation, so they weren't the target. The Army quickly reversed the story, so most people in the United States never even saw the initial press release and they weren't the target. I think the target was the news media and the people of Roswell.

Ok, I'm following you on the target idea.

I think I'm a little confused on the idea that the headlines embarrassed the AP. I can understand the harassment the eyewtinesses underwent. But it was the Army that released the information. To me, it embarrasses RAAF and the Army. The AP just published what information the Army gave them. Or am I misunderstanding?

Ok, that clarifies it better. That makes more sense.
Here is where I have a difficult time with the press release. Disinformation or not, I still have a hard time believing the Army or RAAF would have made that initial press release had it really been extraterrestrial in origin. It just seems that would have been awfully risky to officially put it in the paper by the government. I don't believe our government at the time had enough foresight to plant the seeds of a monumental disinformation campaign that has existed for over 60 years.
Of course, there is always the possibility that, despite themselves, they have accidentally created the greatest disinformation of all time

He took it to authorities in Houston, where they confiscated it and swore him to secrecy.
It would be great if I could find an example where this "preemptive debunking" was used during WWII. I agree my idea is far fetched, but it isn't easy to explain that ridiculous initial press release.
