... have passed the Roswell incident off as a closed case - their
investigations declared the incident to be nothing more than a crashed
weather balloon from the top secret Project Mogul and the alien bodies
merely to be crash test dummies. This essay will argue the point that there
is other life in the Universe and that the crash landing at Roswell in
1947, was an alien space craft and not a weather balloon.

quite separate and distinct ideas concerning the nature of the substratum of
sensible objects. John Locke and David Hume upheld the belief that sensible
things were composed of material substance, the basic framework for the
materialist position. The main figure who believed that material substance did
