Margaret Eldridge @margeditor.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Part 2 of the YGBFKM Roswell series is live. The government didn't just cover up the story. They made it a criminal offense to talk about what you saw. The Long Silence covers the 30 years after 1947. tinyurl.com/roswell47 #roswell #ufo #uap #aliens #ygbfkm 020

Margaret Eldridge @margeditor.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Today is the 79th anniversary of the day the U.S. Army said it had captured a flying saucer, only to almost immediately say it hadn't.
