Roswell

Since few of us are old enough to remember, Truman created the "National Security Act" in l947 almost exactly the moment that the "Roswell Hoax" was being created, on July 8, l947. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Roswell weren't a little "fear marketing" to help the new National Security Act, adopted just three weeks later, July 26, l947, creating all of our "Clandestine" and "Spy Ops" agencies, at a time when we had just whipped the Bejesus out of every enemy that came in our face.
