But I often have big problems with specific conspiracy theories. I most hate the JFK assassination conspiracies. But a close second are the Roswell conspiracies. In fact, pretty much all UFO conspiracies are based on the belief that the military does not have equipment flying around that they would prefer not to talk about. Roswell certainly falls under this; it seems to have been some kind of equipment tethered to a balloon that crashed. And I don't doubt that it was exactly what the authorities claim: weather monitoring equipment. Regardless of all this, I think I could put up with a whole lot of conspiracy theories if I got as a reward the great Google Doodle celebrating the 66th anniversary of the first report of the Roswell "incident." It is a little game and it's a lot of fun. Sad to say, I've spent a lot of time playing with it. Click on this image and the app will load in a new window: Now I'm going to tell you everything I've learned from my many minutes of playing the game. But just to protect your fun, I've put all that wisdom below the fold.http://franklycurious.com/media/1/20130708-spacealien.jpg
