This is the opinion of Vladimir Vasiliev, chief researcher at the Institute of the USA and Canada, specializing in the analysis of the US budget, decrees and laws passed in the administration of American presidents.
Studying these "boring" documents, he discovered that for more than half a century, the American authorities have allocated a lot of funds from the state budget to study the issue of extraterrestrial intelligence and the threats posed by it.
"Colonel" or "insane"?
Mass awareness of the danger lurking in space began with a UFO crash in New Mexico. An aircraft that did not have an engine crashed, with a crew of four humanoids.
The incident was reported on July 9, 1947 by the two most respectable US newspapers, The New York Times and The Washington Post. True, refutations soon appeared - versions about the latest aircraft of the enemy (most likely, the USSR), the inadequacy of eyewitnesses. But all this, according to Vladimir Vasiliev, is a consequence of the secrecy regime that has come into effect.
The wreckage of the disc and the corpses of the pilots were picked up by the US Air Force and safely hidden. The top-secret project "Majestic-12" (according to the number of experts) was organized, the task of which was to study and master UFO technologies.

Colonel William Blanchard prepared a press release on the incident for news agencies. Later, skeptics began to accuse him of adventurism and a tendency to fantasize. However, Blanchard was the commander of the third bomber to carry an atomic bomb for Japanese cities. That is, the military, endowed with the highest trust of the authorities. Roswell AFB, first named as a colonel by the media, was the most high-tech in the country and the only one to host nuclear-armed bombers.
Therefore, even if we assume that the crashed disc is the latest development of the United States, and the report about its accident in the newspapers is an impossible disclosure of a top-secret secret for the colonel, why did not he fall under the tribunal, but ended his career as a "four-star" general? This means that the officer did not do anything at variance with the position of the US leadership at that time.
Why did the incident become discussed in the media? According to the Russian researcher, only because the short humanoids with a narrow slit of eyes looked like the Japanese from a distance, whose attack on the American fleet took place just 6 years before the events described. The Syndrome of those hostilities - Pearl Harbor was still in my memory.
The Americans more than once changed their strategy of attitude to the Roswell incident: they either kept it secret - as under Eisenhower and Nixon, now they leaked information - as under Johnson and Reagan. It was only during the years of his presidency that the problem of the threat emanating from outer space first sounded from the lips of the first person: speaking in 1987 at the 42nd session of the UN General Assembly, he uttered several phrases about the danger of an alien invasion.
Incidents - "colleagues"
From the memoirs of President Truman, it follows that incomprehensible and even mysterious events took place in the Arctic. An analysis of omissions and information leaks allowed Vasiliev to conclude that on December 6, 1950, a UFO was shot down in the northeastern United States, as a result of which the Americans prepared for a war with aliens. Truman even declared a state of emergency in the country (by the way, it has not yet been formally abolished). It would seem that the outbreak of the war in Korea could be the reason for such an act of the head of state. However, an analysis of the military-political situation at that time did not confirm this version.
The Americans were scared by the data from the study of the crashed UFO: their aircraft was made specifically to work near the Earth - taking into account the temperature, pressure, atmospheric parameters and other indicators of our planet.
Vladimir Sergeevich has reason to believe that in the early 80s, aliens demanded that the US leadership return the UFO wreckage and the corpses of the pilots. It is possible that they immersed the guards of the secret hangar in hypnosis.
Perhaps that is why in the 80s the idea of "star wars" was formulated, a missile defense project began to be developed, directed, as Vladimir Vasiliev proves, not at all against the USSR, but against a possible threat from space. The whole history of the Cold War, in accordance with this concept, looks different: the United States has always insured itself against a surprise attack from space, not from Earth.
By the way: In 2005, Clinton, already the ex-president of the United States, said the following: “This place in the state of Nevada (where UFO wreckage and the corpses of pilots were kept. - Auth.) Was actually a serious object, and there really were artifacts of an alien origin.
