That’s what Popeye’s wants you to think!

KFC Secret Recipe.

1. The Bay of Pigs fiasco?
2. The Berlin Wall surprise?
3. Gary Powers and the U-2 incident?
4. Having their agents wear official CIA jackets with CIA logos on when helping rebels mine harbor in Nicaragua?
5. Failing to anticipate Chinese intervention in the Korean War?
6. Telling us how ’strong’ the USSR was and how we had to arm ourselves against them, right up to the day they “suddenly and without warning” fell apart?
7. Aiding drug cartels in SE Asia and Central America, all in the name of ‘fighting communism’?
8. Knowingly feeding faulty information to the White House and the Pentagon from double agents who were working for the USSR?

What secrets? The US Armed Forces make blunders all the time too (Tailhook, Vietnam, Rwanda, Lebanon, numerous crashing jets), so why not when it comes to UFOs as well? In fact, it gets even worse in regards to the UFO situation, but not everything the military and intelligence agencies does is wrong or bad. When the USAF investigated UFOs from 1947 to 1969 during PROJECT BLUEBOOK, they reached three conclusions:

1. UFOs were not a national security risk,
2. Any sighting that could be backed up with demonstrable evidence could be explained as something mundane, and
3. It was a waste of taxpayers money to continue investigating UFOs anymore.

All three conclusions were obviously and indisputably correct. Remember, the Roswell story had little impact upon the citizens of Roswell or UFO believers at the time — and this was at the very peak of the UFO frenzy — as evidenced by the fact that this allegedly major story was put on the back burner and completely forgotten about for the next 20+ years or so, until Stanton Friedman resurrected it with his new and improved version of Roswell. This should not be, seeing as the flying saucer craze of the 1940’s and 1950’s was a by-product of the Cold War (American citizens lived in fear that UFO sightings could be craft belonging to the Soviets), and there was the genuine concern that a national panic could occur after considering what happened with the then recent Orsen Wells broadcast of THE WAR OF THE WORLDS. The whole thing smells like a poorly told joke.

If the government had actually recovered a crashed UFO, and wanted to keep this fact a secret, they easily could keep it one by merely treating the entire subject as a joke or a nuisance (as they did with Blue Book). There are few propaganda weapons as effective as ridicule.
