ELY: It’s the conspiracy theory that just won’t go away: that the U.S. government is, deep in some secret location, keeping the bodies of alien astronauts recovered from the crash of a flying saucer in New Mexico in 1947.
The “Roswell Incident,” named for the small town near where some wreckage was found – a weather balloon, the U.S. military says; a UFO, say those who, well, believe it was a UFO – was back in the news this week when two photographs, claimed to be of preserved alien remains, were presented at a UFO conference in Mexico City.
The photos, taken on Kodachrome color slide film, have been confirmed as being on film stock from the late 1940s – but that doesn’t mean the alien claim is true, experts say.
What is much more likely, they say, is that the photo is in fact a 1940s image – but of a human child’s mummified body.
As evidence that the alien claim is either a publicity stunt – a documentary film Roswell Slides is in production – or a hoax, scientists noted that attendees at the Mexico City conference who wanted to view the color slides had to cough up $350 for the privilege.
