The Roswell Flaw
If a flying saucer actually crashed near Roswell in 1947, leaving alien bodies among the debris, wouldn’t attendant visitors (‘colleagues” as it were) of the aliens who piloted the crashed saucer try to recover their compatriots or some of the debris that allegedly lay in the New Mexico desert for days before Mac Brazel (and the Army) took possession of it?
We know, from Kenneth Arnold’s “authentic” sighting, that UFOs or flying saucers often traveled in formation/groups, and since his sighting took place in the same time-frame as the Roswell incident, the extraterrestrial visitors were, possibly, aware (or should have been) of the Roswell crash.
Are the supposed advanced alien travelers so unemotional or callous (other possibilities we admit) that they’d leave their disabled and dying fellow-travelers to the desert or human society, without trying to retrieve them?
One can’t presume to know the operational parameters of an extraterrestrial race, but since many of the so-called Roswell witnesses, especially those who said they saw bodies among the debris and crashed saucer, ascribed sentience of a human kind to the beings captured or taken by the military, one can suggest that the Roswell beings were not so alien as to eliminate survival tactics from their other-world arsenal.
If the Roswell “saucer” was not that far removed, in design and operational format, from human aircraft, and the described beings not so alien in physiognomy from human beings, one can assume that the visitors would very likely act in a similar way to human beings when a disaster occurred; that is, members of the “race’ visiting the Earth, didn’t come alone, in one flying saucer, but were accompanied by others, in a bevy of saucers, as Arnold saw, and others reported at the same time as the Roswell crash, and would have acted much as we humans would have acted: the crashed craft and its occupants would have been sought out and helped (or retrieved), or an attempt to do so would have taken place.
(No other UFOs were seen in or near Roswell during the July period that encompasses the infamous episode.)
And if that alien race did come to Earth, from outer space, another dimension, or even as time-travelers, they wouldn’t, if even moderately sensible, ignore members of their race who were in distress.
If the loss of a concomitant craft and its beings were dispensable, for whatever reasons one can conjure, then an alien retrieval of the Roswell saucer may be acceptable to rationality, but that opens a whole new aspect to the extraterrestrial modus.
Or the Roswell incident is bogus, as an extraterrestrial visitation and accident, which is what many in the UFO community are coming to believe.

According to the book The Day After Roswell, Ltn Colonel Corso, after seeing the beings and reading autopsy reports, suspects that the beings are half android. He called them entities (EBE extraterrestrial biological entities), not life forms.
And thus, wouldn't the android creators want to retrieve their "robots"?

Good Day TUR,
Your argument is based on the "supposition" that a so-called alien race is analogous to humankind; I would argue that there isn't any evidence in support of that theorem.
One could just as easily theorize that "they" are here to eat our dirt, ("if" they eat) and they view their flying contrivances as "gods" and any of their kind causing injury (i.e., a crash) to their god, deserves the harshest of penalties, including death.
Cheers,
Frank

Eating dirt?
(I've done that many times, as you know.)

I can relate, as my portions always have some "crow" in it! ;>))
My point however, is that "one can't deduce alien intent by human explication," based on a strict scientific point of view.
Cheers,
Frank

You are right, of course, as usual.
One can't impose human intent on another species, especially one that purportedly comes from an alien world.
But if the Roswell witnesses, who said they saw bodies, are correct, the alien life-forms they saw were human-like, so I thought it wasn't too far out of line to propose some mental similarities, and the alleged crashed saucer seemed to have flight characteristics much like that of human aircraft.
You might like to see Anthony Bragalia's inadvertent support of my thesis over at the UFO Iconoclasts blog -- his post about Civilized Aliens.

Did ET really "crash" his Flying Saucer? (drinkin' and flying?)
Was it all just a rouse ?
Maybe a devious plan of inflitration ?
(What's a mass produced android scout worth - maybe they had a couple 'bodies' that had expired after 20,000 years 'service' and tossed them into the 'crash scene'...)
Think about it > the 'crash' was 'faked' and the military fell for it ....
(If it happened at all )
Perhaps what we assume were benign and superior entities were something like criminals whose fate was foreseen and calculated, the purpose being our benefit (in terms of basic enlightenment about some cosmic facts), by the (in itself, or in themselves) benign and superior race that dispatched them to us, roughly analogous to the practice in some totalitarian Earth societies of making the most of what would otherwise be the total waste of executing condemned prisoners by harvesting their organs.
This assumes that the crash was an accident. World war II had just ended, the world was divided into two factions, the Soviets and the West. The Soviets were engaged in the wholesale slaughter of millions of their own citizens. If an alien race wanted to indirectly guide mankind's development why not pick sides and give one side a technological advantage. The aliens themselves may be under something like Star Trek's Prime Directive so they could not directly give us the technology. They could have staged the crash thus allowing the West to reverse engineer it.
Behind this purported event lie such a quagmire of possibilities that speculation about the reasons for its occurrence will necessarily continue ad infinitum. They may be complex, they may be part of an underhanded scheme on the 'alien's' part, a combination thereof, or something else entirely.
Starting from the premise that it did occur as generally recollected (if it did), I feel a better reason for the crash needs to be identified than 'radar interference', or the recent demonstration of the power of the atom by the US - after all Trinity, Hiroshima and Nagasaki happened two years prior.
