I found this very good lead on the Roswell case, this author think that you can clearly see the connection between the Roswell crash and the super transformation in Titanium production. And you know what? I think he?s absolutely right!. Take a close look at Anthony Bragalia and his work. His work on all this is important. It`s tracking the Roswell saga and has generated some awfully compelling evidence for an Alien crash particularly as it relates to the development of titanium based shape memory alloys (SMAs) with properties similar to those of the Roswell crash debris as described by witnesses.. Let`s take a closer look at the titanium track! Today, titanium is ubiquitous and everyone has heard of it. It’s used in important items like eyeglasses frames, roller blade chassis and wedding rings and so forth, but it wasn’t always this common.
At the time of the Roswell crash, there was no commercial titanium production anywhere in the whole world. Titanium was in this hazy phase, somewhere between being just a laboratory curiosity to being a metal of great potential. It was already under study by the US Bureau Of Mines and the government contractor the Battelle Memorial Institute. Then something happened sometime during 1947.
Boutique titanium production for research use jumped and was followed late in 1948 by its’ first commercial production, by Manhattan Project contractor DuPont. Let’s look at titanium production during those years and those that followed. The numbers speak for themselves.
1945-a few pounds
1947-2 tons
1948-9 tons
1949-23 tons
1950-68 tons
1951-449 tons
1952-975 tons
1953-2030 tons
1954-4870 tons
1955-6710 tons
1956-13200 tons
Lawrence Foster wrote in his review of “Titanium In Industry” that, “The exponential growth of metallic titanium production is unparalleled in the entire history of metallurgy.” In “Titanium: Past, Present, and Future,” the Commission on Engineering and Technical Systems wrote “Only in the case of the Manhattan Project for the development of enriched uranium and the atomic bomb has there been a concentration of scientific, technical and financial support for a single metal (certainly to a single structural metal) similar to that devoted to titanium from the early 1940s to the late 1950s.” The comparison to the Manhattan Project is certainly an interesting one, but dating the concentrated effort to develop titanium back to the early 40s is dubious as the above production numbers from the U.S. Geological Survey, the story of William Kroll, who invented the process by which titanium is extracted from its’ ore, and the speech by Nathan Promisel, of the Materials Branch of the Navy Department’s Bureau of Aeronautics delivered at the titanium symposium in December 1948, where he stated that, “The Bureau of Aeronautics’ interest and activity in this field date back about two years,” would indicate.
Titanium production skyrocketed because the US military, in particular the then fledgling Air Force but the Navy too, wanted it. The sound barrier had been broken in October 1947 in an aircraft, the Bell X-1, made of steel alloys. The Air Force knew that the heavier steel would limit air speed at some point and that the lighter aluminum would melt at supersonic speeds. Titanium has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal on Earth. It was the answer and the US military, especially the Air Force, was the market. This would become evident in the ensuing years as the world’s most advanced aircraft broke Mach 2 and then Mach 3 in aircraft like the all-titanium SR-71, designed by Area 51 developer and UFO witness Kelly Johnson. Those speeds simply would not be possible with any other structural metal.
Naturally a success like the titanium industry, a combination of government and private contractors working together to change the world for the better, should have it`s founding fathers. It is as if someone in government said, after decades of wood and then steel aircraft manufacture, it’s titanium! The metal had been known more than a century, a process for it’s extraction from the ore since the ’30s. The question becomes who? If you believe this Time magazine story from 1952, it’s Col. John Dick. Something tells me that building an entire industry from scratch is outside the powers of a USAF colonel. What isn’t clear is where the tipping point came to cause the creation of an entire industry and who championed it. We have the ordinary cause for the wonder metal’s growth: Titanium was a metal that demonstrated great potential thanks to research from various sources. This research reached a critical mass and it was determined that a titanium production industry was needed. But by who? I can’t find the answer and it should be readily available. Certainly not a USAF colonel. A general or group of generals, a president, yes. But no one is given credit. Online archives reveal little or nothing. Why? It’s not like titanium itself stayed secret, it’s development was widely promoted, the symposiums on its’ potential quite public.
We have the extraordinary cause: Research on titanium was already taking place when the crash of an alien ship, made mostly of titanium alloys, some of which were SMA, created the tipping point where these high-ranking leaders came to a no brainer of a decision: a titanium production industry was needed. And curiously enough, the extraordinary cause fits with the Roswell crash time line. The exponential titanium production growth begins in late 1948, one and a half years after Roswell. Recognizing titanium within crash debris would undoubtedly happen quickly in the well equipped labs of Wright-Patterson AFB. Further research was contracted out from there. For preparing commercial-quantity manufacture facilities, 1.5 years seems about right. But there was research being done prior to this a report was being prepared by an (unknown today) scientist. The scientist who supposedly worked on this late 1940′s report also later confessed that he did actually analyzed the ET debris, was supervised by one Dr. Howard Cross. Dr. Cross was a Metallurgist and Titanium expert who had worked closely with the Navy where Nitinol was “officially” discovered. He was also an alledged secret UFO researcher for the Air Force’s Project Blue Book and a secret UFO document called the “Pentacle Memo.” From time to time he was called upon to investigate other cases of unknown fallen debris and had unusual access to the heads of the CIA, the Air Force and the predecessor organization to NASA.
If we assume that an alien crash did happen ( which it did ) at Roswell, it’s hard to imagine at least some watershed change in our technology taking place in the short-term not happening. Was it the recognition that titanium use as a structural metal in our most advanced aircraft would take their performance to the next level and beyond? The key points WHO made the decision to jump start the titanium industry and specifically WHEN and WHY they did it are missing! Titanium development was a true game changer in the history of aeronautics. Its’ impact can not be understated yet these important questions about the early days of its’ development remain improperly answered. The WHY certainly could be the breaking of the sound barrier, but there’s no mention anywhere of linkage. There is an old saying, “Success has many fathers, but failure is an orphan.” Titanium is a huge success, it has changed the world, but is an orphan. Compare that with the extremely well documented history of the aforementioned Manhattan Project. The historical record is clear that President Franklin Roosevelt ordered the formation of The Uranium Committee in October 1939, just after the Nazi invasion of Poland and his receipt of the Einstein-Szilard letter, and the more robust Office of Scientific Research and Development in 1941.
Harry Truman is famously quoted as saying,“It’s amazing what you can accomplish, when you don’t care who takes the credit,” but the story of the birth of the titanium industry or, more to the point the lack thereof, strains credulity. Considering Truman’s proactive management style as president, some trail should lead to him or at least someone close to him but it doesn’t. It leads nowhere or to military personnel who certainly did not have the authority to create an industry from thin air. I believe as many others that the crash gained way for this development opportunity. This Titanium theory is way much better than silly embarrassing theories like this one.

As a machinist I work with the metal all the time. But i knew it was rarely used in the past. Not used at all at the time of the crash now that is interesting and calls into doubt some of the claims of the Government now.
Yes indeed, and isn’t it interesting with this so called coincident? Thx for the reply!
