Roswell UFO Crash

The Roswell UFO incident occurred in July 1947 when an unidentified object crashed on a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico. Initial reports from the military suggested it was a "flying disc," sparking widespread speculation about extraterrestrial involvement. The U.S. military later stated that the object was a weather balloon. Over the years, various conspiracy theories have emerged, claiming that the military covered up the recovery of an alien spacecraft and its occupants. Despite extensive investigations and official denials, the Roswell incident remains a subject of interest in UFO folklore and conspiracy theories. The controversy surrounding it has contributed to the broader cultural fascination with unidentified flying objects and the possibility of extraterrestrial life.

Jesse Marcel was the first military officer tasked with investigating the 1947 Roswell incident, where supposed "flying disc" debris was later identified as pieces of a weather balloon. The incident was largely forgotten until 1978, when Marcel, then a retired lieutenant colonel, told ufologist Stanton Friedman that he believed the Roswell debris was extraterrestrial.
