That is the most long-winded version of "Nothing happened" that I've ever seen.

This was amusing,

Wired

The Air Force report even had an answer for one of the strangest reports to trickle down through the history and mythology of Roswell: The “hieroglyphic-like” characters and small pink or purple flowers that had appeared on some of the wreckage were not an alien language, but a random side effect of limited engineering materials. Amid the post-war shortages, the New York contractor who made the targets also made toys, and had used plastic tape with pink and purple flowers as well as geometric designs from the latter line to seal the target seams. The absurdity of the tape on such a sensitive military project had stood out to project veterans, which is why they could clearly remember it decades later. “It was kind of a standing joke,” one project worker recalled.

Besides it's preposterous they saw a wreck, the alien cloaking device makes that impossible!

Oh but they would say that you know.

Paradox over. They are right next door.

Why advanced Techno-signatures could evade detection

...

A recent study published on May 24 in the Astrophysical Journal suggests that advanced extraterrestrial civilizations may be difficult to detect because their energy needs might be modest. If these civilizations do not require significant power, they may not construct large energy-harvesting structures detectable by our telescopes. On Earth, such structures might resemble vast solar panel arrays or orbiting megastructures capturing stellar energy.

...

In short, one of the premises behind the paradox may be false.
