Inning two, Boise: In the middle of the inning, while the teams switch, my mom's co-worker uses an elastic slingshot to get a water balloon into a hot tub being pulled around the field by a pickup truck. She wins the tub. We cheer. The Hawks get on the board. We clap...
...buffs were quick to note that the report didn't solve all, since Air Force records show the dummies were not used until a good decade after the 1947 Roswell incident. Coupled with a 1994 report that said the "flying saucer" found in 1947 was actually an Air Force balloon used to monitor the atmosphere for evidence of Soviet nuclear tests, the Air Force now insists that it has refuted all charges that the government actually recovered several extraterrestrial bodies and a UFO when a mysterious aircraft crashed at Roswell.

But despite the best efforts of Kevin Randle and others...
