The Roswell Incident
The Roswell UFO incident is one of the major events in the history of unidentified flying objects or UFO’s on earth. On 7th July 1947, there was some recovery of materials from a crash site in Roswell, New Mexico in United States. And since that time these recovery of materials has become a subject of debate, speculation, questioning and rumor. There are divergent views on exactly what happened in Roswell on that day. The U.S Army maintains that it was a high altitude weather balloon and not a flying saucer. However there are many people who believe that the crashed craft was alien space ship and bodies were recovered from it and the military is hiding some facts. All these make the Roswell incident as one of the most controversial and publicized UFO event.
On 8th of July 1947, the RAAF which is the Roswell Army Air Field issued a press statement telling that they have recovered a crashed flying saucer from a ranch in Roswell. This report sparked interest from all sections of society. However later on the same day it issued another statement contradictory to its first and confirming that flying object as a hot air balloon and not a flying saucer, as was claimed earlier. The case was completely forgotten and was rarely talked about for around 30 years.
But in the year 1978, things changed when during an interview with a renowned ufologist, Major Jesse Marcel who was part of the team which recovered the debris from the site gave a shocking statement saying that military on that day, in actual recovered a flying saucer and is hiding the facts from the general public. This interview garnered attention from all over the world.
Over the following years additional reports and witnesses came forward. These witnesses added more significant details including claims of a secret military operation and alleged witness intimidation.
In the year 1989, a former mortician Glenn Dennis put forward a personal detail account where he claimed that alien autopsies are being carried out at the base in Roswell.
In 1990’s few well known UFO researchers interviewed over hundred people who had or claimed to have had some connection with the events that happened on 7th July 1947 in Roswell. Apart from this, thousands of documents were obtained with the help of Freedom of Information Act requests. As were some which were apparently leaked by the insiders, the most popular one being the “Majestic 12” documents.
