Ya know, most days I totally believe a UFO crashed in the desert that July. Other days, I think it was something else. Common sense tells us no level of technology in 1947 could still be classified today, unless, of course, it was extraterrestrial. The only other explanation I can think of is that we were experimenting with Nazi technology and we didn't want the public to find out. We all know about Operation Paperclip and the great lengths the government went to conceal the true identities of the German scientists. I don't think the public was ready to find out post-WWII that our ballistic missile programs and early space exploration program was run by Nazis.
And not to forget that the Nazis reportedly recovered a crashed alien spacecraft and tried to make copy of it. And that Braun reportedly witnessed one of the crashed Roswell UFOs and the alien bodies with reptilian like skin.
Hell, even the Manhatten Project was able to be infiltrated by spys. How could UFOs not be? If you consider the time of the country during the atomic age and all the levels of compartmentalization that General Groves was responsible for, and those programs became infiltrated with spys, how could the Roswell incident not be infiltrated? Unless there was nothing worth infiltrating? Just a thought...
The Russian KGB spies were all over the United States, and lots of communist parties, it was Stalin's vision to make the whole world to be one communist state. There was the fear against communism, even Walt Disney was involved in the fear against communism and he reportedly called his employees "Communist sympathizers" because his employees demanded their salary to be increased.
The Russians' relation to Roswell
What do the Russians know about the most celebrated of all UFO crashes, the July, 1947 report of a crashed disc outside Roswell, New Mexico? Our next interview made it seem apparent that, even in the 40s, the Russians weren't buying the weather balloon explanation of Roswell being proffered to the American people at the time by the US military. The interview was with Valeriy Burdakov, a man who, to my knowledge, has never granted an interview to a Western journalist. In the 1950s, Burdakov was a scientist at the prestigious Moscow Aviation Institute, birthplace of the Soviet space program. Burdakov's interest in UFOs led to lectures on the subject, lectures which came to the attention of Sergei Korolyov, the dean of Soviet rocketry and the founder of the Russian space program. But Korolyov did not admonish the younger Burdakov; instead he confided in him.
As the now-60-something Burdakov relates, Joseph Stalin invited Korolyov to a meeting in 1948. The dictator brought Korolyov to a room where, spread out on a table, were piles of material and information collected during a top secret study. Some of the information was gleaned from reports of Soviet operatives in place in New Mexico at the time of the alleged crash. Stalin was anxious to know, what did Korolyov make of this reported crash of a UFO near Roswell?
"Korolyov told Stalin the phenomenon was real," said Burdakov. "He told him the UFOs were not dangerous to our country, but they were not manufactured in the United States, or any other country. Stalin thanked him and told him his opinion was shared by a number of other specialists." Burdakov says he has no doubts about the extent of the American government's involvement in the UFO phenomenon. Several branches of the American military, he says, are involved in active research and study. "We know that the United States Air Force possesses plenty of material," says Burdakov. "The U.S. Navy has a big amount of material as well. We know that special orders have been given to keep all materials secret. When curious people ask for the materials they are told they're not there, that they've been destroyed."
