New information released recently has fueled the debate, and much of it centers on whether the US had broken the Japanese codes at that point.Sam Elderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15984244253644485575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16838489.post-54021382844857746542007-12-01T01:45:00.000-07:002007-12-01T01:45:00.000-07:002) Dan Brown's bestseller The Da Vinci Code.

In 1947, a "flying disc" (later identified as a weather balloon) was discovered on a ranch north of Roswell. Thirty years later, some of the remaining Roswell locals told interviewers that there had been aliens who landed near Roswell, and that a massive cover-up had taken place. This led to, among other things, to several books, on both sides of the issue.Sam Elderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15984244253644485575noreply@blogger.com
