FBI Opens Secret Document ‘Vault’ — Does it Prove Aliens Landed in Roswell?

It’s one of the most widely-asked questions that arises when anyone discusses government secrets: Did aliens land in Roswell, NM in 1947? Now, after the FBI has just opened up access to an online “vault” of previously-secret documents, that question may have just become a lot less crazy.
“The Vault” is not just the figurative name for the new cache of documents. It is the official name the FBI has given to, as the Salt Lake Tribune explains, a “revamped FBI website for documents that have been released through the Freedom of Information Act and have been recently or often requested.”
According to the website, The Vault contains over 2,000 searchable documents. Enter a keyword, and a list of documents matching that term pops up. Roswell is one such term:
It’s that last term that produces a document the Daily Mail says may show that aliens did in fact land in Roswell. It explains:
A bizarre memo that appears to prove that aliens did land in New Mexico prior to 1950 has been published by the FBI. [...]
Among them is a memo to the director from Guy Hottel, the special agent in charge of the Washington field office in 1950.
In the memo, whose subject line is ‘Flying Saucers’, Agent Hottel reveals that an Air Force investigator had stated that ‘three so-called flying saucers had been recovered in New Mexico’.
The investigator gave the information to a special agent, he said. The FBI has censored both the agent and the investigator’s identity.
Agent Hottel went on to write: ‘They were described as being circular in shape with raised centers, approximately 50 feet in diameter.
‘Each one was occupied by three bodies of human shape but only 3 feet tall,’ he stated.
The bodies were ‘dressed in a metallic cloth of a very fine texture. Each body was bandaged in a manner similar to the blackout suits used by speed flyers and test pilots.’
He said that the informant, whose identity was censored in the memo, claimed the saucers had been found in New Mexico ‘due to the fact that the Government has a very high-powered radar set-up in that area and it is believed the radar interferes with teh controlling mechanism of the saucers’.
He then stated that the special agent did not attempt to investigate further.
This is Hottel’s memo:
The Tribune notes that other documents point to UFO investigations in Utah:
On April 4, 1949, FBI agents in Utah sent a cable marked “urgent” to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. It said an Army guard at the Ogden Supply Depot, a Logan policeman and a Utah Highway Patrol officer in Mantua each saw from miles apart a UFO — which they said exploded over Utah.
Under the title “Flying Discs,” the cable said they “saw a silver colored object high up approaching the mountains at Sardine Canyon” that “appeared to explode in a rash of fire. Several residents at Trenton … [reported] seeing what appeared to be two aerial explosions followed by falling object.”
But aliens aren’t the only topic one can find in the troves of files. According to the Tribune, the documents also show the FBI was looking into whether the Salt Lake City NAACP had been infiltrated by communists:
A memo said the Communist Party wanted the NAACP “to win leadership among negro organizations,” and “various attempts have been made by the CP [Communist Party] to infiltrate and dominate certain NAACP branches through the country.”
“The new website significantly increases the number of available FBI files, enhances the speed at which the files can be accessed, and contains a robust search capability,” David Hardy, chief of the FBI’s Record/Information Dissemination Section, said in a statement.

Posted on April 10, 2011 at 5:35pmWell, we have semi-official verification that SOME UFO’s are actually visitors…the good part is that the population has been so programmed about the possibility that the people here on this site don’t even give it a second thought. It was always thought that the common citizen would freak out and panic (like in the 1929 radio broadcast by Orson Wells and his Mercury Theatre players…ironic, eh). But after 81 years of slowly getting the public used to it…a memo from the FBI that would have sent people into a panic all those years ago gets a shrug and more commentary about the defacto president instead…go figure!

Posted on April 10, 2011 at 5:08pmHear me out. This came to mind yesterday while driving home from DC.
Ok, so what if Hillary Clinton knew about Obama not being born in the US.
# ABC interview, Bill Clinton stated, “I think everybody’s got a right to run for President who qualifies under the Constitution. And I’d be the last person to begrudge anybody their ambition.”
This was from an interview where Bill clinton was attempt to tell the world about his real birth certificate.
Then Barry and Hillary have a meeting.
#Here’s what we know: Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama and one-time rival Senator Hillary Clinton got together on Thursday for a private discussion.
Here‘s what we don’t know: what they talked about. The dueling senators, who had been civil, if chilly, to each other for the past 17 months, surprised their aides and the Washington press by pulling off a closed-door talk at California Senator Dianne Feinstein’s Washington-area home hours after Clinton had attempted to downplay talk of a Democratic “dream team” ticket.
The meeting came on the same day that Clinton announced she would be endorsing Obama at a rally planned for noon on Saturday in Washington, D.C., According to The New York Times
Now Trump comes out of the wood work talking about this issue. What if, the information is being feed to Trump.
I also think that Hillary told Barry she would support him, knowing that if she came out with the truth it would kill his changes and her’s from winning the election in 08. So she decided to let Barry run and win, and then some time mid term the truth would come out, allowing Biden to become president and then opening the door for an 2012 run for Hillary.
Remember Truth is stranger than fiction.

Posted on April 10, 2011 at 11:07pmPeople who believe aliens crashed at Roswell are USAF patsy’s. You want the truth? It’s called program coverup. At the time of these incidents the USAF and black ops programs were heavily involved in developing German technology which continues to this day. They had to test what they were building under secrecy. To counter sightings they formed branch to look into reports of UFO’s. And like good little Americans, they told the government exactly what they saw so the government could sleep better at night knowing their secrets were still safe. And gullible Americans actually swallowed the UFO story hook line and sinker.
Not convinced? Foreign country sightings have occurred within close proximity of USAF bases. Black programs don’t exist people. So the United States pacified the public by reporting what they already knew. Talk about the scam of the century. I don’t know who is sillier.

Posted on April 12, 2011 at 4:20amFolks, I have done a lot of research on this matter and have come to the conclusion that we are the the aliens, well, at least part of our DNA derived from them as a blending. Has anyone here read the translations of the anceint Sumarian tablets. Or the sandscript documents? Hopi Indian legends talk about it in great detail about people from the stars or the sky. Even the ancient Aztec and Myan texts and inscriptions tell of those that came to earth from the heavens. What gives us any reason to be arrogant enough to think that we are the only life in the universe? Even statistically it would seem rediculous to come to that conclusion. I know that the answers are out there and the truth will be revealed eventually and when the “GOD/GODS” return, many will have to re-define GOD as a tangeable living presence instead of a fictitious indoctrinated idea of legends.
Yes there are aliens. Yes we are the children of the Gods. Yes there is good and evil and ignorance is not an escape nor an option!
