However, 7 people died on the East Coast from people panicking through Traffic accidents in 1938

Because of the "War of the Worlds" Broadcast by 23 year old Orson Welles.

One reason the government now wants to deny this fact is that their excuse is based upon this. So, they have to say, "No this wasn't a true incident and we didn't hide UFOs from the public ever since because of this.

I personally would say that about 25% of the U.S. could actually deal with UFOs including myself. However, really dogmatic religious people of various faiths and just paranoid non-believers likely could not deal with this and it could or would cause the collapse of civilization in many countries including parts of the U.S.

So, on one level after World War II where men were committing suicide in droves and killing their families often from PTSD until the mid 1950s this makes a lot of sense why they didn't want any more physical or psychological chaos happening to people in the U.S. or Europe or anywhere. So, this is why people were often made to disappear who had UFO experiences or removed from the public in any way possible to discourage people from telling the truth about UFOS. This continued in an extreme way in the U.S. until the collapse of the Soviet Empire around 1990. So, we had about 10 years where a lot of this information came out in books between the late 1980s and 2001. Then once again because of Osama Bin Laden this information has been suppressed a lot because of the wars we have been in.

However, it is also true that transistors came out the SAME year as the Roswell Crash and the microchips you have in your computers and Iphones are all reverse engineered and evolved from the Roswell Crash too.

So, when your IPhone between 2020 and 2025 is more intelligent than you are you can thank the Roswell Crash for this.
