What they’re saying

“Here's the slowed down "Roswell footage" from the new Disclosure Day trailer. The slate says '#5 Occupant' and it's from "Roll 18". It would be awesome if that was based on real footage. Or... maybe it IS real footage. (Nahhhh... right?)”

— Dan Cleary, Podcaster

“Slowed down "Roswell Footage" from the new Spielberg Disclosure day Is this film going to say Roswell was a coordinated false flag Psyop production?”

— @RedPandaKoala, UFO enthusiast

“It likely was, to coverup human engineering from 1920s into post-war paperclip and tesla work. They already had it figured out so perhaps Roswell was the ultimate diversion away from black projects, it started the alien frenzy and so many 1950s flying saucer testimonies sound like they were human on human interactions.”

— Jay Anderson, YouTuber

“We don't know of any film from Roswell - so they wouldn't be filming the Roswell crash as a psyop as that has never been released or used against the people. If this was the moon landing, that would make sense.”

— Sara Bondink, Author and researcher
