Laurie Said:

Had to share this... Isn't this picture of our planet so profound? It really puts things into perspective....?

We Answered:

I would rather use that picture to say how vast space is, not how small our planet is. Consider that our planet is an extrordinary situation, a landmark that is unlike any other for more than, as you say, 6 billion kilometres (3.7 billion miles). Carl Sagan seems to ignore the value of the planet, comparing it to the rest of the space in the picture as if each dot has an equal value.

Aliens and Roswell New Mexico?

We Answered:

You are half right.

The Roswell UFO crash story is a fraud. However, it is not a "propaganda" story from the government to scare the public. The government actually tried to downplay the story to hide the fact that we were monitoring the Soviet's open air testing of nuclear weapons with high altitude balloons. The military really did not want the public to know that radioactive material from Soviet tests could be detected over the US. (The morality of open-air nuclear testing and the US involvement in similar tests are both out of the scope of this thread.) The genesis of the Roswell UFO fraud was started when a few military officers made small mistakes while trying to keep the balloon project secret.

The Roswell UFO fraud was popularized and sensationalized by authors many years after the actual balloon crash. Some of these authors (and all of the publishers) were simply out to make money. Some of the witnesses were also out to make money or gain fame. A few probably genuinely believed in UFOs, but they overreached in a desperate grab for supporting evidence.

The Roswell UFO fraud has been perpetuated mainly by poorly researched books and movies that mostly quote or plagerize previously produced poorly researched books and magazine articles.
