Does anyone else remember?

I remember the film.
It wasnt' taken at area 51.
It was a film showing sheets of metal from the Roswell crash.
And people (local officials in cop uniform) examining them.
And it was in a local sheriffs office, or some other official like that.

That's the film I remember.

I think that may be it.  I was thinking it might have been air force jackets but it could have been police jackets with tan pants.  I distinctly have a photo in my mind of man standing wearing what I thought might be a bomber jacket but it could have been a brown sheriffs type jacket also and its seemed like it was 50's or early 60's era clothing maybe?  It might have even been black and white.  I am almost positive we watched it on VHS and not projector film also.  I may be remembering that wrong though but That sounds like the same video.

I seriously remember seeing this and not thinking anything of it at the time.  Maybe it wasnt really what I thought it was at the time but I have asked my kids and they never were shown anything like this in school.  I could have just dreamed it up.  It was a lifetime ago at this point.  lol

Now you're talkin' . I don't want to say hey I am crazy, but lately after a lifetime of my average dream being very vivid, and also doing a lot of meditation and ritual, which involves strong use of the imaginative 'muscle' , I sometimes have a hard time remembering if something happened or if I just had an extremely vivid and logical, realistic day/dream of the scenario ... 'oops' ..... lol.

I can see someone somewhere making a little low budget reenactment of this, though.  Have you tried IMDB?

I definitely dont think it was a dream, day dream or anything else.  I definitely watched the film and I know it was in 6th grade because I was only at that school one year and now that someone else remembers seeing the same film I am more convinced it was a real film. Now fiction or not would be the question and I have not checked IMDB but being a school film of sorts I wouldnt have thought about it being on there.

Here are some still shots of the film I saw.  Look at the pictures ... 

Ramey and Marcel ... holding the foil metal sheets and inspecting them.

Hmm.  Now I am thinking either that isnt it or that was only part of it.  I remember them at one point being an what appeared to be an airplane hanger where scientists were set up and they had a chunk of thin metal setting with wood or something supporting it on both ends and they were jumping in the middle section of it and were unable to bend it. This may be a different show then.

I discovered that IMDB has almost anything that is on film or digital, from student films to pornography.  
If you are a filmmaker you are motivated to create an entry on there so it can get you some kind of recognition. 

What makes your query weird is that nothing pops up in IMDB for a documentary with the word roswell in the plot, between 1960 and 1990.
This only starts to get hits from 1995 to 1997 onwards. 
Hmm

It may not have been anything to do with Roswell.  The materials could have come from another crash site.  I believe Area 51 was mentioned or it was at Area 51 though.  I will dig around on imdb when I have time and see if I can figure it out.  But given the content it wouldn't surprise me if whatever it was we were shown was scrubbed.
