The government of the United States has long been under the radar for allegedly hiding something unknown related to the UFOs and aliens.
Now, the 1947 UFO crash, which took place in New Mexico and left the world shocked, has again resurfaced after recently leaked government texts revealed that there was more to it than what was known to the people.
The partially redacted communication was posted on social media and a top-ranking intelligence official was noted as saying that people would be “slack-jawed” to know the complete truth.
The sound barrier isn’t anywhere close to 1200. The best they had at the time were unmanned unguided rockets. Nothing that would have been mistakes for balloons or radar targets or that looked anything like the supposed wreckage displayed.
Sorry, I should have been more clear; the Me 163 was capable of 1200 mph (I think the highest recorded speed was 1300mph, but the pilot spectacularly didn’t survive) and we don’t talk about it because it was used by the Nazis to break the sound barrier.
And I am also sorry to say, you’re just incorrect about the technology at the time. The V2 topped out at over 3000 mph, for example.
To think that the US, who acquired far more of the scientists from the Nazi rocket program than the soviet union (who just got the spare parts), was behind them at this point in time is pretty goofy. Do I know what the wreckage was? No, and I wouldn’t be allowed to talk about it if I did. But given the sheer amount of cartoonish nonsense the US was attempting at the time, it’s not unreasonable for that wreckage to have been anything from the Mogul balloons, an Me163-derived experimental craft, some kind of supersonic blimp (no, that was a real thing. Though as far as I’m aware they never got them off the ground.), targets for high altitude interceptor missiles (that obviously didn’t really work yet, but Artemis was started in 1943), a big rock with a tunnel painted on the side, to any other one of a thousand speculative guesses that get less and less likely.
All of these examples would have contained foil, rubber, sticks and whatever ‘durable paper’ actually means (the best theories I have heard are that it was the precursor to ripstop nylon, or an early mylar or metalized film, which were both being considered for high-altitude, high-speed parachutes at the time.) But really, there are nowhere near enough details to do more than speculate wildly on what it might have been. It’s like asking what color dinosaurs were - there’s so little information available to us that any answer has an equal likelihood of being the correct answer.
FWIW, Artemis targets would explain both the 1200mph fast moving object and why the wreckage had balloon-like debris, though the claims of balloon-like debris are pretty dubious from what I understand. Additionally it would have been incredibly sensitive information at the time (and probably still is, I mean we still use the U2 because it’s almost impossible to shoot the damn things down), absolutely justifying the X-Files-esque coverup that has been reported (again, pretty dubiously) as happening after the incident. I don’t think that’s what it was (for many reasons, mostly Artemis being a UK program that we have no public records of it being tested in the US outside of WSMR at this time), but it’s yet another plausible explanation we’re unlikely to ever have confirmed or denied.
