What phenomenon happened in roswell New Mexico?

Answer 1

Military intrigue.

Prior to the end of the cold war, the military was the military; no political correctness, no civilian law enforcement, no equal opportunity employing, and no volunteer military (until after the Vietnam War) (Army, Navy, Air Force/Coast Guard came under the Treasury Dept. then the Transportation Dept. now currently Home Land Security). The US Military came under the WAR DEPARTMENT prior to 1947; after that the name changed to the DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE which is the current title. Civilians, especially immediately following WWII (1945), were "intrigued" with the military, as it existed and is explained above. Roswell occurred in 1947, nearly 2 yrs after WWII ended. While the military was the "real military" (as explained above), it conducted many many experiments...airplanes were new, jets were new, missiles were new, nuclear energy was new...etc. etc. So the military experimented.

Civilians, with their "intrigue" and "love of mystery", which includes UFO enthusiasts, got wind of some of those experiments (balloons, mannequins, radio controlled aircraft, etc. etc.) and the rumors began to fly. Very true; the US military has conducted many many strange experiments (even before WWII) and even military men weren't immune to some of those rumors (even expanding upon them, off duty or out of the service). But people (especially civilians who have never been in the military and hold the service in high "intrigue") will believe what they want to believe, and nothing, absolutely nothing is going to change their minds! They're minds are mind up, and "they don't want to be confused with the facts."

But a good thing has come from those intrigued civilians; movies, books, comic books, television shows, clubs, etc. Its excellent entertainment and gives people something to do, and for some people it gives them a purpose in life...like hunting down "those UFOs."
