But they _do_ want us to believe!

I am sure this has been addressed by the List before but, given
that we know UFOs have been used as cover stories for other
activitites by our (and other) government agencies (military and
intelligence) before, is it not possible that Roswell WAS
disinformation? Would it not be in the military's best interest
to convince the world that WE, the mighty US of A, had flying
saucer technology? Was the OSI (or whichever intelligence
agencies existed then) ignorant of this possibility for
exploitation of information and belief after having dealt with
Foo Fighters and Ghost Rockets. The standard assertions that the
ALLIES thought these were the AXIS' and the AXIS thought they
were the ALLIES' supports the contention that we FEARED the
other side might have much more advanced flying devices.

Considering the many connections among early era ufo researchers
and saucer groups to psychological warfare this seems like an
idea which would have been considered. It is in a military's
best interest to convince its enemies that you have more
powerful technology at your disposal than they do.

Does anyone know whether or not the principles involved in
Roswell had backgrounds in psychological warfare?

For an imaginative speculation on this idea I suggest you read
Jacques Vallee's fictional 'Fast Walker' and his non-fiction
'Messenger's of Deception'.
