Roswell, Fact or
Fiction?
On June 14, 1947 a farmer named William "Mac" Brazel who lived 70
miles from Roswell had noticed there was debris on the Foster
ranch. Three weeks later, on the 4th of July he returned with his
wife and daughter to get some of the wreckage. A few days later he
heard about flying discs and told Sheriff George Wilcox that he
had some of the debris; the Sheriff contacted the Roswell army.
Shortly after the Roswell Army Air Field released a press release
on July 8th that said they had recovered a flying disc. However,
the Commanding General of the 8th Air Force said they only picked
up a weather balloon and the pictures taken confirmed this and the
case has been silent for around thirty years.
Then in 1978 Stanton T. Friedman, an ufologist, interviewed Major
Jesse Marcel. Marcel had been involved in the 1947 Roswell
happenings. Marcel was responsible for the first press release and
believed that the military was covering up an alien spacecraft.
Marcel was again interviewed by National Enquirer in February of
1980 and released additional details about the Roswell crash. He
claimed the military had a secret force that recovered aliens and
their spacecrafts. Mortician Glenn Davis than came forward and
confirmed that there was an autopsy done on an alien and he
performed said autopsy.
There has been dozens of books written on the Roswell event and
authors claim they interviewed over ninety witnesses and the time
lines are changed to provoke a military cover up. By the early
nineties, more books were written with more witnesses and again
more changes in the time line. Later, an inquiry was launched by
the General Accounting Office into the reports and books and the
Secretary of the Air Force was told to conduct this investigation.
They created two reports, one in 1995 that stated the debris was
from a failed 1947 military project called Project Mogul and the
other report in 1997 that the alien bodies were past memories from
previous wars and anthropomorphic dummies from other 1950 military
programs. There were ufologists who supported these reports while
others still believed in the original events reported.
Later, in 2002 the Brazel site got sponsored to find any 1947
debris they may still be there. There was nothing found. However,
the archaeological team from the University of New Mexico did find
soil disruptions and these matched witness statements about the
soil. By 2005 ABC showed support for the Air force’s explanation,
and later that same year President Bill Clinton stated that the
incident had been looked into and doubted there were any flying
discs. Just recently, an anonymous informant claimed that there
were actually two crashes at Roswell under the name Project Serpo,
both were UFOs and that one had a surviving alien that died 5
years ago.
There will always be people who will believe and want to believe
in the Roswell incident as more than it really was. But, who
knows? After so many reports and years that have gone by, there is
no way to know anything for sure. The only thing we know for sure
is that something happened there. Whether it was a failed military
project or an actual UFO crash, there will always be speculation. |
