http://newsfeed.time.com/2012/07/11/roswell-really-happened-says-former-cia-agent/?hpt=hp_t2What happened at Roswell 65 years ago? It may be a conspiracy theorists greatest mystery. Now, one former CIA agent says he has information that could solve it.
It was not a damn weather balloon, Brandon told the Huffington Post. It was a craft that clearly did not come from this planet. The 35-year agency veteran was a covert agent involved in international terrorism, counterinsurgency, global narcotics trafficking and weapons smuggling, and spent 10 years as the agencys first entertainment and publication industries liaison.
One of the boxes had a single word written on it: Roswell. I took the box down, lifted the lid up, rummaged around inside it, put the box back on the shelf, and said, My God, it really happened! Brandon recounted.
Full disclosure before we storm the barricades: Brandon is promoting The Cryptos Conundrum, a new novel that his website describes as a sci-fi, political conspiracy thriller about CIAs cover-up of the Roswell UFO crash.

(5,062 posts)I've always believed 'something' happened. I'm sure the story has been exaggerated in parts over the years and I know some witnesses have been dismissed. However, it was a very sloppy cover up and too many witnesses. They were able to control the story for several decades but once some involved got older they talked. Like the JFK assassination, I doubt we'll ever know the extent of the story or the entire truth but I have always believed that a crash took place and that there were beings unlike us recovered.

The first giveaway was the mention that he "spent 10 years as the agencys first entertainment and publication industries liaison."

(9,213 posts)It seems like big mysteries keep getting proven or found or discovered all the time now....when will the truth finally come out about this and ruin it as well?? There must be some evidence somewhere to let us know what happened for sure.

He's got a book out, and is promoting it.
I look at Roswell and the entire "UFO culture" as a HUGE pile of cattle manure next to a diamond mine.
There is a possibility of a gem or two in there, but anyone looking for them is going to have to dig through tons and tons of bullshit to find it.

(30,947 posts)When I was a child in Miami, FL, the Miami Herald would have headline stories about UFOs. No matter how much debunking about those stories, I believe we are not alone in this universe. I hope before I die that the truth will come out.
