The Roswell UFO Crash
In 1947 a UFO was seen near the town of Roswell, New Mexico. It was
witnessed by many of the residents and was described as something not of this
planet. The government denies any evidence of this event occurring and has
covered it up for may years. Now that more information has become available to
the public, it is clear that something extraordinary happened.
The town of Roswell, New Mexico was the location of many UFO sightings
in the later 1940's and was supposedly the location of a secret military base.
Most of the local people had a story or two to tell about their experiences with
these sightings, but are now coming forward with stories about how the
government threatened them not to speak of the incidents that occurred. Some
felt as though their life was endangered if they dared to speak of what they saw.
One incident in particular which has sparked a craze in the study of
UFO's is when a flying disk allegedly crashed in the deserts of New Mexico near
Roswell on the night of July 8, 1947. According to Roswell expert Henry Ritson,
many civilians arrived at the crash scene and witnessed the bodies of alien
beings (Roswell Reporter pg. 2). These witnesses report to have seen humanoid
beings with large, pear-shaped heads and bulging black eyes being hauled away by
government and military agents and to have been debriefed of the entire
occurrence by these agents (Roswell Reporter pg. 3). Some witnesses were
threatened not to speak of the incident again. The object in question was later
classified by the government as a weather balloon and discounted all evidence
and eyewitness reports of the UFO scene (pg. 3).
The farmer whose field the UFO crashed in was offered a large sum of
money by a local radio station to tell his story on the air. He spoke of strange
alien materials and a seemingly invincible square of foil which could not be cut
or damaged. He also described the alien beings and the craft in which they
traveled (Roswell: What are We Talking About? pg. 2). He was later arrested by
the military and held at the government base. The first officer to the crash
site, Lt. Jesse Marcel, was told to make a public restatement about the crash
scene and report that he had mis...

The controversy about aliens and the incident at Roswell, New Mexico
will most likely continue until either aliens make contact with humans
publically or until the government admits to the cover-ups in Roswell and other
UFO sightings.
This crash was a very important historical event in the eyes of many,
and the government has done a good job of keeping the details of the event a
secret. No matter what the object was, it certainly opened the eyes of the
public. The people involved in the incident and those who witnessed it are the
only ones who know for sure what really happened on that memorable evening. They
have been silenced by the government, and may never speak of the events that
occurred that night. They are the few who have seen exactly what is out there.
The rest may never know.
Who can the american people trust? If their own government keeps one of
the most important events in human history a secret, there is no telling what
else they know. It is right of the public to know what is history and what is a
misguided weather balloon.
What really happened over the summer in 1947 in Roswell, New Mexico? People have debated this topic countless times. Despite all of the deviations of what happened, there is a general timeline. Sometime during the months of June and July 1947, an aircraft landed in Mac Brazel’s ranch; Brazel proceeded to tell Sheriff George Wilcox. He sent a member of the Roswell Army Air Field base to look at the wreckage on Brazel’s ranch. This person took some of the debris back to the base for further inspection. On July 8, 1947, the newspapers published stories about how someone found a flying saucer in New Mexico. However, the government told the newspapers to report that it was merely a weather balloon that had crashed. After that, everybody simply accepted the story and dropped the topic. Throughout that story, many pieces of evidence went untold to the media. There were numerous pictures that went unreleased. Many affidavits went unnoticed and nobody paid attention to inconsistencies in the government’s justifications. Because of explicative photographs, several eyewitness accounts, and contradictory government explanations, there is extensive proof that the government concealed an alien landing in Roswell, New Mexico.
There are many conspiracies that people say have happened at the Roswell crash in the summer of 1947 in Roswell New Mexico. Nobody knows what really happened at the crash in Roswell New Mexico but, many people say that the thing that had crashed there was a UFO and or a flying saucer which mean there being aliens. Even after 50 years the people still do not know what happened and for everybody that doesn’t know were going to go deeper into what really happened. This incident had caused a lot of chaos with the Air force and the people.
There are many people throughout Arizona that say that they saw what is being called the Phoenix lights. Officials received calls and reports of the sighting from as far south as Tucson to the Northwestern reaches of Kingman. Dozens of people videotaped the action that was taking place, and a few even said that they saw the boomerang shaped UFO fly overhead before the sightings. News crews covered as many witnesses as they could find, trying to reveal some sort of clarity or explanation to what was seen to set every mind at ease. The most conclusive evidence of a UFO sighting came from a family that CNN interviewed and made their cover story.
them tell a story otherwise it would be like reading a book with nothing meaningful inside. Many
Around June 25th, 1947 a pilot, Ken Arnold had reported strange objects in the sky while flying near Mt. Rainer, Washington. He stated that they flew like "saucers being skipped over water." This was where the term "Flying Saucers" derived from. The Roswell UFO Incident all started on the evening of July 3, 1947, Dan Wilmot and his wife were sitting on their front porch when they saw the distinct shape of a saucer flying through the sky. A few days prior to this sighting, military radar in the area was tracking an Unidentified Flying Object for four days. On Independence Day the radar indicated that the object had gone down about 30-40 miles Northwest of Roswell. A few days after the actual sighting from the Wilmot's, W.W. Brazel, the Foreman of the J.B. Foster Ranch went to check on his sheep after some intense thunderstorms the night prior. He happened to discover a very large amount of debris of an unknown metallic substance scattered throughout the field. It was also stated that he stumbled across a shallow trench in the ground that stretched hundreds of feet. Brazel would gather some of this debris to show family and friends. A few days after he would contact sheriff Wilcox of Chaves County. Once Wilcox had the information he needed, he contacted the Roswell Army Air Force Base, where Major Jessie Marcel was briefed to look int...
Recently, many people believed to have witnessed via a viral video, U.F.O. (unidentified flying object) sighting directly above the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, Israel, yet solid research quickly disproved this occurrence as another contemporary hoax. Sightings such as this one dates back to June 24th, 1947, when Kenneth Arnold reportedly saw a “flying saucer” (Dash). There are many people around the world, who believe wholeheartedly in unidentified flying objects. Moreover, when Mr. Arnold made his claim of seeing a U.F.O., there were many futile arguments between believers and non-believers. Nowadays however, thanks to modern technology, people can record the alleged sighting by means such as video and still picture. In so doing, this allows public opportunity to view and judge via the internet or print media the validity of a U.F.O.
Stanton T. Friedman is a nuclear physicist, a lecturer and a UFO researcher. He published more than 90 papers about flying saucers and “has appeared on hundreds of radio and TV programs including on Larry King in 2007 and twice in 2008, and many documentaries” (Blinn). Friedman also wrote a book, “Captured! The Betty and Barney Hill UFO Experience”, with Kathleen Marden (Betty Hill’s niece), in which they support the idea that we can rely on Betty Hill’s statements about her abduction. First, a few days after the sighting, Betty called her sister Janet who had seen an unconventional craft a few years earlier. Janet, after she consulted a physicist, told her sister to take a compass and place it near the car’s surface. Betty wrote her observations
The Roswell incident is one of the most publicized and well-known accounts of a possible UFO crash in the world. Perhaps the greatest evidence that a UFO did indeed crash near Roswell, is the wide scale military cover up that took place after the crash. This along with numerous eyewitness accounts of the crash site, prove that what ever happened in the summer of 1947, was certainly not a normal occurrence.
On June 24th of 1947, a pilot named Kenneth Arnold made the first and most famous claim that he saw a flying saucer. In that same year, William Brazel noticed piles of debris around thirty miles from Roswell, New Mexico. A combination of these two events sparked a popular culture phenomenon that has changed the world. Extraterrestrials have become a part of the average American’s everyday life. Even as children exposure to the idea of there being a different intelligent life in the universe is something they encounter in movies, television shows and books. In March of 2009, the children’s movie Monsters vs Aliens was released and has grossed over three hundred and eighty-one million dollars so far. As children grow up and become teenagers
Many people who do not believe that anything other than military weapons testing is going on inside Area 51 think that all of the UFO sightings are really just military aircraft. They have proven that often the light patterns people report being on the bottom side of the UFO matches the light patterns of certain military aircraft. Jeffrey Richelson, who works at the National Security Archives, studied declassified documents that were released in August 2013 and came to the conclusion that during the 1950’s and 1960’s the military was heavily testing the U-2 spyplane, wh...
In Roswell UFO Crash, the knowledge that the farmer had, started the conspiracy and increased the relevance of the topic.
There is evidence dating back to ancient times, for example; the “The Madonna with Saint Giovannino” is an ancient painting that is from the 15th century. This particular painting is of Virgin Mary and in the background a dog and its owner is staring up into the sky at a hovering disc like object. Sounds familiar to what we now claim to spot doesn't it? Sighting of UFOs date back to the bible as the bible describes a UFO sighting in The Book of Ezekiel. Another example of ancient evidence is there was an abnormal sized head found from three hundred BC, many describe it as alien like. The painting is a significant piece of evidence because like I brought up earlier how would someone from the 15th century even think of an UFO unless they saw it personally. The Book of Ezekiel is also really interesting because you have a very reliable and popular
. At the town of Roswell an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) crash landed in the quiet little town. Many Roswell residents testified that they saw a burning object plummet toward the ground before exploding upon impact. The Air Force's initial reaction to the incident was to tell the world that they did not know what it was. This shows me evidence that they had no “protocol” for this kind of occurrence, thus the Military leader stepped in and covered everything up. This incident caught the attention of citizens of the United States, local officials, and the media. It has especially gained interest in a variety of Special interest groups/ groups that specialize in researching and investigating events that involve UFO’s.
This paper will prove it will remain unknown if the Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) crash sighting at Roswell, New Mexico on July 4th, 1947 did happen, although the government is hiding Extraterrestrial information there. The following is a list of terms that may become confusing to some readers.
Undoubtedly, with over 10 000 cases, the sheer amount of reported UFO sightings and abductions is startling. In July 1947, an airborne object crashed on a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico. Rancher Mac Braezel examined the debris which appeared to be mostly metallic and plastic scraps. However, it was damaged beyond identification of its origin. He brought some of the material to his neighbours who attempted burning it, cutting it, and yet, it would not be damaged. They also tried bending it, too which it would dent momentarily before peculiarly molding back to its original form. Mac hurriedly contacted the local sheriff, who then, in disbelief, contacted two military officers to the debris field, also in dubiety, they brought some of the material they had found to the Roswell Army Air Base. Shortly thereafter, another local along with some students on an expedition, discovered a disk-shaped aircraft about two miles from the debris field, which had four small humanoid bodies scattered around its vicinity....
