Ufo Files
I got three episodes of this one. "UFOs: Then and Now?" focused mostly on Roswell and released government documents. "Roswell: Final Declassification" began with this note: "In 2001, experts get an exclusive look at top-secret government files of the 1947 Roswell incident." It argues that a controversy over the handling of the Roswell incident "raged behind the scenes," and that controversy holds the key to understanding the cover up. This particular episode treats the Roswell incident as two crash sites. The third episode was "Hangar 18: The UFO Warehouse" about the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. This episode also focuses on "declassified documents." It addresses specifically Roswell (again) and alien bodies recovered. It talks about Project Blue Book. It says that Wright-Patterson has become "a kind of graveyard" for these things (UFOs / Aliens). It does move a bit beyond Roswell, though, noting crash sites in Aztec, New Mexico; Paradise Valley, AZ (Oct 47); Kingman, AZ (May 53); Laredo, TX (June 53), and Kecksburg, PA (Dec 65).

Conspiracy?
The episode of this show that I caught was "Majestic 12: UFO Cover up." It is also a History Channel show, and no surprises here, it also addresses Roswell. It began with a voice over "The following program presents theories about an historical event that is shrouded in mystery. It contains archival footage, reenactments, and dramatizations which invite you, the viewer, to draw your own conclusions." This show goes through the MJ12 documents, concluding that the documents "appear to be hard evidence" that there has been a cover up over Roswell and that there has been clear evidence of a presence of aliens on our planet.
