Roswell Debris Field
|
Witnesses who found the debris from the Roswell, New
Mexico UFO crash in 1947 reported seeing metal as thin as
the silver foil from a cigarette pack that nonetheless could
not be pierced by a bullet. Now Discover Magazine reports
that scientists have created what sounds like the same thing.
Brad Lemley writes in the April issue of Discover about a
metal strip as thin as aluminum foil that cannot be even be
severed by wire cutters. When a steel ball is dropped onto it,
the ball bounces back and will not go through it.
Lemley writes, "It's all astounding, yet oddly familiar. In the
typical science fiction film circa 1950, there's that scene in
which scientists return from the just-landed flying saucer and
tell the Army brass that no tool known to humankind an cut,
burn, bend or otherwise scar the hull. But the metal in front
of me is decidedly terrestrial in origin?it was developed in
Pasadena?
"It's called metallic glass, or amorphous metal, and it appears
to be nothing less than an entirely new class of material that
can be used to build lighter, stronger versions of anything."
Amorphous metal is made by rearranging the atoms in metal
so they react differently to heat. William Johnson, who helped
discover it, says, "This is the structural material of the
future." Was it also the structural material of the past for
another civilization?
A strange type of foam, made up of magnesium and bismuth,
with gaps between elements which do not reveal how they
are sandwiched together, was also found at Roswell. Johnson
says, "A sandwich made of two thin sheets of amorphous
metal flanking amorphous foam would be strong, light,
insulating fireproof, bug-proof, rustproof, sound dampening,
and difficult to penetrate with bombs."
