Hi Bruce,

I share the frustration, but there are two points to note

As I recall, when it was learned that Roswell communications
records had been destroyed, along with the records authorizing
that action, a check of communications records at other base
records in general from that time period, this seemed to be
widespread. A number of gaps in the communications records were
found, and this may have been systemic at the time, rather than
a cover-up. I'm not sure how we show that the Roswell
disappearance can be shown to be different.

NASA, on the other hand, couldn't keep track of the original
moon landing data and recently acknowledged that they apparently
erased most of it to re-use the tapes and save money. Given how
long ago archived data was moved to Optical Disk storage, this
shows how long ago this tragic decision was made. And, the fact
that it took over a decade to figure out what happened to the
data, was also telling. Not only was NASA cheap, but they also
couldn't keep good records about what data they had and what
archive it was stored in - as they moved it around to less
expensive warehouses.

I was in Congressman John Murtha's Office in the mid-90s and
talked with the legislative aide that was assigned all
Kecksburg/UFO inquiries. The Congressman's LA said that he
learned little from the military, but indicated that the
accepted cause was the Soviet Satellite theory. That would
confirm that there was an Event that occurred. But, this was all
based on third-hand hearsay and showed that the Congressman -
who doesn't have clearance to get any military operational data
- didn't really know anything other than what everyone has found
outside the cone of secrecy.

CFI is to be commended for keeping a focus on this, and we
appear to be dealing with two Agencies that are either covering
their rear-ends, or are inept at good record keeping. The
Military could have the Cold War to blame for the extreme
classification of this incident, or it could well be some alien
technology that fell from the sky. Both would likely result in a
compartmentalized classification group. But I tend to support
the incompetence or poor management of data by that Agency, as
to why they can't find, or know what records they even have.

There's a lot of fog to make your way through in this case, and
it's an investigation to keep active.
