The dummies weren't used until the early 50s, however, and when asked how they could reconcile this with people who said they had seen little bodies in 47, the US Air Force said it was all due to "time compression," where people get the year mixed up. Frankly, I think anyone would recognize a dummy. However, I still think we have to look at a classified experiment before we get into the issue of aliens, however.

So, any hard assertions I make are not probaly worth much. I do remember the air force made a claim that high altitude experiments with human beings or dummies were responsible for what people saw, but that this claim must be questionable because those high-altitude tests did not occur until years after Roswell. On the other hand, since this event occurred so many years ago, & peoples memories being inherently faulty, witnesses of crash test dummies may yet account for witness testimony of bodies at Roswell. Nick, is there anything faulty in my reasoning here? I must admit, I have only started Karl’s book a few times & not yet finished it. So, any hard assertions I make are not probaly worth much.

I also agree that the event that sparked the UFO crash story involved one or more classified balloon-based events. However, where I differ from Karl (and the USAF, who came to the same conclusion as Karl) is that, as I detailed in my "Body Snatchers in the Desert" book, the balloons were linked with controversial high-altitude experiments using human beings.

It looks pretty good. I accept it's conclusion. Any thoughts out there? Have you read Karl Pflock’s “Roswell : Inconvenient Facts and the Will to Believe”? It looks pretty good.
