On July 4, 1947, an unidentified flying object crash landed in a small ranch in Roswell, New Mexico. The phenomena quickly made headline news in the United States, and later after, the world. Soon after, The United States Armed Forces quickly issued a press release reporting that a crashed disk had been recovered. Corrupt Government officials covered up the incident by issuing a second report stating that the wreckage, was “most likely” from an experimental surveillance balloon, code-named “Mogul”. Despite this claim, Major Jesse Marcel, who was responsible of transporting and delivering the material found to the Roswell’s Army Air Force, later reported that the material he was forced to present to the press, was not the same material he had …show more content…

According to a Jesse Marcell’s report, the material he had initially given to the Army Air Force was swapped out and replaced by material from an experimental weather balloon. Jesse Marcell stated in his report that the material he found that night, “would not burn” He continued by saying, “it weighed nothing, it was very thin, it wasn’t any thicker than the tinfoil in a pack of cigarettes. It would not bend. We even tried making a dent in it with a 16 pound sledge hammer. There was still no dent in it.", implying that the material he found that night was unlike any metal he had ever encountered and was likely not from this planet (Edwards, …show more content…

Glenn Dennis, Roswell’s mortician and ambulance paramedic at the time of the incident, reported that on the night of the incident, he received a strange call asking for information on the best way to preserve three cadavers and was asked about recommendations for three child sized coffins. When Glenn Dennis heard about three bodies that had been recovered from the mysterious Roswell incident, he was intrigued and soon after he was viciously denied access entry to his home military hospital by armed guards, spoke with a nurse who had accidently walked into an examination room. The nurse reportedly saw three small bodies about 5ft in size, with spindly arms and giant bald heads where being examined by doctors (Edwards,

    One the most distinguished artists of the twentieth century, Jacob Lawrence was born in Atlantic City and spnt part of his child hood in Pennsylvania. After his parents split up in 1924, he went with his mother and siblings to New York, settling in Harlem. "He trained as a painter at the Harlem Art Workshop, inside the New York Public Library's 113 5th Street branch. Younger than the artists and writers who took part in the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s, Lawrence was also at an angle to them: he was not interested in the kind of idealized, fake-primitive images of blacks - the Noble Negroes in Art Deco guise - that tended to be produced as an antidote to the toxic racist stereotypes with which white popular culture had flooded America since Reconstruction. Nevertheless, he gained self-confidence from the Harlem cultural milieu - in particular, from the art critic Alain Locke, a Harvard-trained esthete (and America's first black Rhodes scholar) who believed strongly in the possibility of an art created by blacks, which could speak explicitly to African-Americans and still embody the values, and self-critical powers, of modernism. Or, in Locke's own words, "There is in truly great art no essential conflict between racial or national traits and universal human values." This would not sit well with today's American cultural separatists who trumpet about the incompatibility of American experiences - "It's a black thing, you wouldn't understand" - but it was vital to Lawrence's own growth as an artist. Locke perceived the importance of the Great Migration, not just as an economic event but as a cultural one, in which countless blacks took over the control of their own lives, which had been denied them in the South: When years later he told an interviewer that "I am the black community," he was neither boasting nor kidding. He had none of the alienation from Harlem that was felt by some other black artists of the 1930s, like the expatriate William Johnson.

  • Chimborazo Mountain Essay

    Hundreds of search parties and search dogs combed the side of the Chimborazo and surrounding area, and theories arose about the fate of the SAETA 232. After 27 years, in February, 2003 a group of hikers discovered the crash and all 59 victims aboard 17,700 feet above the mountains base. The bodies of the plane crash victims were intact and almost perfectly preserved due to the high altitude and year round freezing temperatures. However, each of the bodies, as well as the plane compartments had been stripped of clothing, jewelery, wallets, valuables, and other possessions. It is unknown how long ago the bodies were discovered, or who would be too cruel to alert the authorities that they had found the victims. Furthermore, because of the early date in the crash, and the lack of security measures taken during this early flying age, there is no concrete cause of how the plane crashed into the side of the mountain, or what may have happened during that day in August. While some believe it to be only a mid-route crash, others believe it to be a guerrilla highjacking. Whatever the cause, the crash only brings attention to just how big Chimborazo is, and how many mysteries it still may
