Roswell isn't known to be anything to the general public. The public has a similar fog-of-war on Roswell as it has on the modern unidentified aerial phenomena. Therefore stigmatizing one group unfortunately stigmatizes the other group as well.

The 'Roswell incident' is known to have been a Project Mogul balloon, covered up at the time for obvious reasons. Go look at the debris pictures that were published in newspapers and started the public obsession. It's a bunch of sticks and foil, obviously Mogul debris and obviously not a spacecraft. Anybody who still believes Roswell was anything extraterrestrial is either oblivious or a kook.
Not to the public but to internal agencies. They might know for a definitive fact that Roswell is bullshit, while UAPs continue to be an unknown variable.
