Yep, it really is just 30 minutes long! What’s worse, it’s got an obscene MSRP of $25!!!
Three years after the U.S. government’s official explanation of the Roswell crash as being merely debris from a balloon-borne research project code named MOGUL, came this nifty footage meant to dispel persistent tales of recovered alien bodies. The reels show Air Force researchers flinging anthropomorphic dummies and eventually real-life pilots from BIGGER balloons really, really high in the sky.
Trouble is, while mildly amusing and definitely DIZZYING (as the camera whirls in free fall), this wacky government science project post-dates 1947 by several years as a breathless narrator underscores, "Clearly these dummies are odd. Almost spooky looking. No doubt, found in the desert without any understanding of their use, one could jump to almost any conclusion. Aliens included. However, these dummies pose one critical problem. They were dropped SIX YEARS after the Roswell incident."
