So what really did happen in Roswell, New Mexico back in 1947?

Ever since, the government has been involved in a complicated cover-up and a conspiracy of silence regarding the truth. Plock, as someone who believes that aliens have visited our planet, proceeds to explain what is wrong with the allegations of cover-up and why the "event" at Roswell is nothing to get excited about.
