This just in. Lieutenant Walter Haut was the public relations officer at the Roswell Air Force base in 1947 when aliens or a weather balloon allegedly crash landed on a nearby ranch.
Lieutenant Walter Haut was the public relations officer at the base
in 1947, and was the man who issued the original and subsequent press
releases after the crash on the orders of the base commander, Colonel
William Blanchard.Haut died last year, but left a sworn affidavit to be opened only after his death.
Last week, the text was released and asserts that the weather balloon
claim was a cover story, and that the real object had been recovered by
the military and stored in a hangar. He described seeing not just the
craft, but alien bodies.

I’m willing to admit aliens/time travellers/what have you could find us. We are looking for them after all.
But these reality checks make me dubious:
1) Why should they be able to travel through spacetime like that and then have an accident in our atmosphere?
2) Would they have humanoid bodies?
3) A deathbed confession may be unreliable.
Ok, now I will give the article a read. Just so you know I’m approaching it with pillars of salt.
