How come when something is covered up, you get a few loonies who instantly assume that what they're covering up is something completely fascinating, some amazing thing that the world has never seen?
Wouldn't a rational person guess that it's probably something normal, but for some reason those who are covering it up have something to hide?
For instance, if a politician was spotted outside a hotel room at night and tried to cover it up, my first guess wouldn't be that he's meeting with secret agents sent from another galaxy to arrange a takeover of Earth. My first guess would be that he was probably banging some mistress and he doesn't want people to know.
As far as the Roswell coverup, I think that something crashed and they covered it up, but I don't think it was some amazing UFO, blah blah blah. It was probably just a spy aircraft that they were testing so they could use it against the Soviets. Testing things like that out in the desert was commonplace at the time. And since the gov doesn't comment on secret programs, you can't expect them to tell you what really happened.
To remove your tinfoil hat, I recommend following some advice.
