Roswell is a fabrication cooked up by the people who house aliens at Area51, which also doesn’t exist, so there aren’t really any aliens there. If there were, who would change their litter trays? ---

However, the book covering it was savaged pretty heavily in an earlier thread… [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=136053&perpage=50&highlight=liberty&pagenumber=2](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=136053&perpage=50&highlight=liberty&pagenumber=2) Different topic, but same book and author. And yes, it was a post of mine which was savaged, which is why I remember it. I seem to recall, however, various uses of the information in various novels as if it were common knowledge, earlier in the 80s. But I may be wrong. (You can’t fight in here! This is the War Room!)

Roswell does exist, I went there last summer on vacation. \<\< begins making quiet beeping sound \>\> ---

No, you only _thought_ it was Roswell. It was actually Truth or Consequences with a makeover. ---

Roswell DOES exist, and they came to seed our women with their [inhuman robotic spawn](http://www.stafford.msd.esc4.net/school-webpages/Library/LIBRARY/election/gore.html) to be born 8 months later. And Area51 does exist, but there is nothing there. It is just a front, to divert attention from AREA50, where the good stuff is! (The car that runs on water, cures for cancer, the common cold and AIDS, a perpetual motion machine, a honest lawyer…) ---

Everyone knows that the Government purposefully manufactures that alien stuff to throw people off the real secrets of Area 51: Spectacular cost over-runs, experimental stealth aircraft, and massive dumping of toxic pollutants. ---

Hey, of US states, why does California have the most lawyers and Jersey the most toxic waste dumps? Jersey got first pick! ::rimshot:: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/rougy-come-on-down/138438.md?page=1)
