Have you ever looked at the sky and wondered if there is life elsewhere? Have you seen anything in the sky that is almost inexplicable? What if your thoughts came true? The idea of ​​the existence of aliens seems to have been around since the beginning of time. There is one incident in particular that really stands out when talking about the topic, the Roswell, New Mexico UFO incident. On or about June 25, 1947, a pilot, Ken Arnold, reported strange objects in the sky while flying near Mount Rainer, Washington. . He stated that they flew like "skipped saucers on water." This is where the term "flying saucers" comes from. The Roswell UFO incident began on the evening of July 3, 1947. Dan Wilmot and his wife were sitting on their porch when they saw the distinct shape of a flying saucer flying across the sky. A few days before this sighting, military radar in the area had been tracking an unidentified flying object for four days. On Independence Day radar indicated that the object had fallen approximately 30 to 40 miles northwest of Roswell. A few days after the actual sighting by the Wilmots, WW Brazel, the foreman of the JB Foster Ranch went to check on his sheep after some heavy storms the night before. He happened to discover a large amount of debris of an unknown metallic substance scattered around the camp. It was also stated that he came across a shallow trench in the ground that extended hundreds of feet. Brazel collected some of this debris to show family and friends. A few days later he would contact Sheriff Wilcox of Chaves County. Once Wilcox had the information he needed, he contacted Roswell Air Force Base, where Major Jessie Marcel was assigned to look int...... middle of paper ....... The forces still today claim that the alleged "UFO" recovered was an experimental high-altitude surveillance balloon. This "balloon" was said to be part of the previously classified program, Mogul. The major UFO conspiracy claims that an alien spaceship was found, its occupants were captured, and the government began a massive cover-up, Mogul was one of them. The Roswell UFO incident is considered the most controversial and well-known capture of an alien craft and its occupants. Public opinion is still unknown, and the US Army continues to maintain that the crash was that of a secret balloon. Information was withheld and misunderstood after the accident, people may never know the true story of Roswell. Or if the military press release was actually true and all that really happened was a crashed surveillance balloon.
