The more I keep thinking about Roswell, I find there are too many interesting facts in the story to let it go. The most compelling one to me, is the undisputable fact that the USAF sent out a press release saying they had recovered a disc. Why in the hell would they do that, unless someone with fairly high level authority had decided that they really needed to? From what I can tell, the wreckage on the Foster ranch was not much of a news item until the disc story was released to the press. It's not like they suddenly needed a juicy cover story for a crashed top secret device that the press was clamoring over. In any event, a press release claiming that a saucer had been recovered was guaranteed to draw more not less attention.
The next day change of the story to a weather balloon complete with a photo of a bewildered Jesse Marcel looking at weather balloon pieces only makes the saucer angle look more compelling, as the USAF was obviously in full damage control mode. They painted themselves further into the same corner with the Project Mogul explanation 50 years later. One can only conclude that the USAF has lied about this incident at least two out of three times. It was either a disc, a weather balloon, a Mogul device, or an unnamed fourth option. It can't be all of the above.
