Good morning, Whitewater.
Tuesday brings partly sunny skies, a one-third chance of afternoon thunderstorms, and a high of eighty to Whitewater.
There are three public meetings scheduled in the city today. The Urban Forestry Commission meets at 4:30 PM, a Fiber Optic Feasibility discussion takes place at 6 PM, and the Fire & Rescue Task Force meets at 7:30 PM.
On this day in 1997, the U.S. Air Force dismisses claims of an extraterrestrial crash in 1947 New Mexico:
On this day in 1997, U.S. Air Force officials release a 231-page report dismissing long-standing claims of an alien spacecraft crash in Roswell, New Mexico, almost exactly 50 years earlier….
On July 24, 1997, barely a week before the extravagant 50th anniversary celebration of the incident, the Air Force released yet another report on the controversial subject. Titled “The Roswell Report, Case Closed,” the document stated definitively that there was no Pentagon evidence that any kind of life form was found in the Roswell area in connection with the reported UFO sightings, and that the “bodies” recovered were not aliens but dummies used in parachute tests conducted in the region. Any hopes that this would put an end to the cover-up debate were in vain, as furious ufologists rushed to point out the report’s inconsistencies. With conspiracy theories still alive and well on the Internet, Roswell continues to thrive as a tourist destination for UFO enthusiasts far and wide, hosting the annual UFO Encounter Festival each July and welcoming visitors year-round to its International UFO Museum and Research Center.
Yet, for it all, there are still conspiracy theorists who claim something happened, trying to bolster their claims using videos like this supposed alien autopsy footage:
(Really like the somber, portentous music…)
