From: The Roswell Incident: Declassified
perspectivealternative

UFO researchers argue that the government's spy balloon story is just another cover-up. They point to early interviews with the rancher, who insisted the debris did not look like any weather balloon he had ever seen. Some witnesses later claimed they saw super-strong metal that would bend and then pop back into shape. Believers think the military switched the real alien wreckage with cheap balloon parts to hide the truth from the public.
