Recently uncovered 1947 headline from long-defunct newspaper offers “amazing glimpse” at UFO incident in Roswell, CBS News, July 1st, 2022. It’s a pretty nice read, and some interesting things to consider. Like that weather balloon and the fact it sure did get around.

One of the interesting artifacts in this old, local paper was the body bag.

A photo in the article, not the paper, makes you wonder about stuff. Looks like a body bag to me. It might nor be. What it says under the picture:

This photo is from the Air Force’s “The Roswell Report,” released on June 24, 1997, which discusses the UFO incident in Roswell, N.M. in 1947. On balloon flights, test dummies were used and placed in insulation bags to protect temperature sensitive equipment. These bags may have been described by at least one witness as “body bags” used to recover alien victims from the crash of a flying saucer.

I suppose that bag is thermoregulating super bag that keeps things cold in a desert, summer’s heat… But then again, it’s black. It’s sitting out in the sun. I don’t think they’re protecting any…
