It's the 65th anniversary of the first battle between the US Military and aliens over Roswell NM in 1947. That's as good of a story as any. It might explain the many trillions spent on "defense" since. Surely the critics who say we have just been supporting the lifestyles of a few hundred millionaires with all that money are wrong.

After all, President Eisenhower gave several speeches warning us against dangers the Alien Industrial Complex, and how we needed massive diversions of money away from schools and hospitals to combat it.

The original press release stating that the US Army Air Force had recovered alien wreckage and bodies was surprisingly detailed. The transition to the independent USAF wouldn't happen until September that year. The massive cover-up in the press that began the next day was simply unbelievable.
