It was the Russians.
I saw this woman on The Daily Show while waiting for Tosh to come on, and do you know what her source is? One guy. She says she trusts him completely, but she won't name him, and has nothing tangible aside from his word.
Her interview is humorous because she says conspiracy theory groups have actually contacted her and said even they don't believe her story.
Making it Russians most certainly would explain more than a weather balloon. However, why cover it up? Especially today?
The only possible explanation to cover it up back then was it could scare people that the Russians could pull this off. But why not admit it now?
I don't think it's true. There's too much of a stretch.
-How did they get it to Roswell unless it took off from Mexico or the Gulf?
-How did they get two humans to mutate in the exact same way? This seems to be the most unlikely thing out of everything else.
-They developed this ship, mutated the people, and got everything in place in a decade?
-Despite all the secrets of the Cold War that have been revealed, nobody from either side ever spoke up about this project? Do you know how many Russians would have to be involved in such a task? Nobody ever hinted at this project before?
Letting the public in on the joke would have been a PR bonanza for the U.S. during the Cold War. It would have painted the Russians as the evil bad guys willing to mutate their own people in plots that evil Bond villains would scoff at. It would also show them as incompetent.
Onto the Area 51 stuff. Other things she says in the interview also don't match things I learned talking with other guys who were stationed near Area 51. If this place is such a huge secret, why does everyone on the planet know what and where it is...unless that's the point? The first trick every magician learns in misdirection.
Let the conspiracy theories begin!

I don't even know where to begin to kill this stupidity, but I'll start here...
QUOTE The leader of the USSR had apparently been inspired by the 1938 radio adaptation  of the HG Wells story "War of the Worlds," produced by Orson Welles.
Bullshit. Â Stalin generally despised Hollywood and American media. Â His favourite novels, plays, music, etc., were all done by Slavs, and most of them were Russian.
QUOTE Jacobsen claims it was filled with bizarre-looking, genetically engineered child-sized pilots.
Not even close to feasible. Â Stalin had his scientists try to fuck with human DNA during the Cold War. Â They barely made any progress. Â Sure as shit not enough to manipulate genes so they can produce miniature but otherwise healthy pilots. Â They might have found some midgets and trained them to fly as opposed to the insanity suggested by genetic engineering.
QUOTE And those ET-looking aviators? They were scientific experiments created by the "Angel of Death," Nazi doctor Josef Mengele, for the USSR after the war.
This is easily the most fucked up claim. Â If the Russians had caught Mengele (which they didn't, he died of a heart attack in Argentina while swimming in 1979), they would have killed his ass. Â Probably taken his notes/work/whatever and maybe forced him into doing some work, but I guarantee Josef doesn't make it out alive to retire to the Southern Hemisphere.
In short, Annie Jacobsen is a fucking tard who apparently knows nothing of twentieth century history.

Khrushchev actually said Stalin liked Hollywood westerns. Â However, they always had to have the dialogue translated on the fly. Â And it turns out Nikita was actually a massive fan of westerns; he was also a notorious fucking liar, especially when it came to answering questions about his predecessor.
