The Roswell UFO Incident was the alleged recovery of extra-terrestrial debris, including alien corpses, from an object which crashed near Roswell, New Mexico, in June or July 1947. Since the late 1970s the incident has been the subject of intense controversy and the subject of conspiracy theories as to the true nature of the object which crashed. The United States military maintains that what was actually recovered was debris from an experimental high-altitude surveillance balloon belonging to a classified program named "Mogul"; however, many UFO proponents maintain that in fact a crashed alien craft and bodies were recovered, and that the military then engaged in a cover up. The incident has turned into a widely known pop culture phenomenon, making the name Roswell synonymous with UFOs. It ranks as one of the most publicized and controversial alleged UFO incidents.

On July 8, 1947, Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF) public information office in Roswell, New Mexico, issued a press release stating that personnel from the field's 509th Bomb Group had recovered a crashed "flying disc" from a ranch near Roswell, sparking intense media interest. The following day, the press reported that Commanding General of the Eighth Air Force stated that, in fact, a radar-tracking balloon had been recovered by the RAAF personnel, not a "flying disc." A subsequent press conference was called, featuring debris from the crashed object which seemed to confirm the weather balloon description.

The case was quickly forgotten and almost completely ignored, even by UFO researchers, for more than 30 years. Then, in 1978, physicist and ufologist Stanton T. Friedman interviewed Major Jesse Marcel who was involved with the original recovery of the debris in 1947. Marcel expressed his belief that the military had covered up the recovery of an alien spacecraft. His story spread through UFO circles, being featured in some UFO documentaries at the time. In February 1980, The National Enquirer ran its own interview with Marcel, garnering national and worldwide attention for the Roswell incident.

Additional witnesses and reports emerged over the following years. They added significant new details, including claims of a huge military operation dedicated to recovering alien craft and aliens themselves, at as many as 11 crash sites, and alleged witness intimidation. In 1989, former mortician Glenn Dennis put forth a detailed personal account, wherein he claimed that alien autopsies were carried out at the Roswell base.

In response to these reports, and after congressional inquiries, the General Accounting Office launched an inquiry and directed the Office of the Secretary of the Air Force to conduct an internal investigation. The result was summarized in two reports. The first, released in 1995, concluded that the reported recovered material in 1947 was likely debris from a secret government program called Project Mogul, which involved high altitude balloons meant to detect sound waves generated by Soviet atomic bomb tests and ballistic missiles. The second report, released in 1997, concluded that reports of recovered alien bodies were likely a combination of: innocently transformed memories of military accidents involving injured or killed personnel; innocently transformed memories of the recovery of anthropomorphic dummies in military programs like Project High Dive conducted in the 1950s; and hoaxes perpetrated by various witnesses and UFO proponents. The psychological effects of time compression and confusion about when events occurred explained the discrepancy with the years in question. These reports were dismissed by UFO proponents as being either disinformation or simply implausible. However, significant numbers of UFO researchers discount the probability that the incident had anything to do with aliens.

  • 1st time I've seen a Pro-Govt. cnspiracy video! A day late and a dollar short, yeah?

  • @gothictranny

    No, first they say it was a flying disk (ufo), then they said it was a weather balloon. Then they said it was Project Mogul, And finally the latest lie is taht the "little people" that witnesses saw were really adult-sized wooden dummies that were able to time travel and go back in time since they weren't used til about 7 years after the Roswell crash.

  • Here. very simply, is why the Mogul explanation is hogwash. The crash happened in 47. The Soviets detonated an A bomb in 49, and atmospheric nuclear tests were banned in the mid 1960s. Mogul had no further purpose after 49, and no security value AT ALL after the test ban. If the crash really had been a Mogul balloon, they would have said so when the Roswell story re-broke in 1978. There was no security reason at all not to do so at that time. They didn't,. because it wasn't Mogul. QED. :)

  • first it was project mogul, then they came out and said it was crash test dummies. you would think the government could get together and agree on just one lie to tell to the public.

  • @NONAG0N Yep studying the Ufo subject, black project etc for years. people have to study the subject and read some books of the original investigators and they will see that the whole case is proven, not because we have direct proof but there are enought witness reports about it to conclude that it was an ET craft and not the gov explaination. By the way off course there is hardware proof but that is conviscated and there is not that a papertrail all on purpose ! Coverup

  • @Misstorys thanks will do,i have read corso book the day after roswell and although very interesting i can't help this was disinformation i'm not sure he would be able to break his military oath and spill the beans like this,i think alot of people are jumping on the bandwagon unfortunately there is not many witness left alive now,but it is these people i am most concentrating on for reliable statements on the events,i still think time travel is a more likely theory maybe by pure accident?

  • What a crap. To the Goverment and army We are not dummys (no pun intented) who you can lie to sorry.

  • I read on that website wich is mentioned in the info.. ''This film, written and produced by Captain James MacAndrew for the U.S. Department of Defense Research Declassification Team, was produced to accompany the U.S. Air Force 1997 publication of The Roswell Report: Case Closed.'' So that explains a lot.. debunking effort Fail....

  • @NONAG0N Yep thats how it is.

  • @gentle7ways7 Lookup Witness to Roswell. from the original investigators of the incident. all you want to know you can find it there. and also lookup The day after Roswell and Dawn of a new Age by Corso. The whole Roswell mysterie is not even an mysterie. its all known. case closed !
