In the early evening of July 2, 1947, a flying saucer was observed at Roswell flying northwest. Regardless, the morning after the night storm, William Brazel and his son and daughter set out to inspect their lands when they came across a lot of strange silvery fragments on one of them. He couldn't identify them. A huge area was strewn with them and they drove away his cattle. So he took a few with him when he drove 4 days later to the town of Roswell, 127 km away.

However, local Sheriff Wilcox was as clueless as he was, so he reported the matter to a nearby air base, home to the elite 509 bomber squadron. A security officer, Major Jesse Marcel, would soon arrive. But even he does not know of any plane crash, and moreover, he has never seen or heard of a material that resists all attempts to cut, bend, burn, or break. He therefore leaves immediately for the farm to be there with one man in civilian and the farmer collected the slag. It takes them all the day (7.7.1947). The debris is to be transported to Roswell's military base and then transferred to Colonel Blanchard at Wright-Patterson Air Base. Major Marcel, however, will not resist the base at Roswell, and even after midnight, he will go home to show debris he believes to be the remnants of ETV to show his wife and 12lette son.

Look, it looks like metal, it's solid yet thin like a foil from a pack of cigarettes. It resists all common attempts at destruction. When you crumble it, it returns to its original shape. In addition, some parts have symbols resembling hieroglyphs.

The next day, things take a completely different turn. The army will seal the area around the farm. Brazel is officially imprisoned for several days, saying he was not allowed to talk to anyone about the state's security. Major Marcel's military superiors do not allow further examination of the wreckage.

Soldiers on a ranch cross the meter by the meter and all the suspects travel to the base, which then issues, 8. July 1947, Shocking Message:

Ground Force Airport in Roswell is pleased to announce that it has gained some disc in cooperation with a local rancher and sheriff's office in Chaves County.

This message raises a tremendous stir. Within a few hours, however, the army will issue another statement - more likely an apology for misunderstanding:

By no means is this a flying saucer, but an ordinary meteorological balloon that crashed due to a storm.

But ufologists are clear. The original report was denied not because of a false conclusion, but because it was true. According to them, the government has swapped the original wreckage behind the remnants of a meteorological balloon and is now trying to erase the tracks, isolate or intimidate witnesses. Nevertheless, reports of ET / UFO sightings continue to appear in the newspapers, and rumors are spreading among the people that, in addition to the wreckage, even larger pieces of ships and the bodies of aliens have been found in them, which the government now hides somewhere (Area 51 - S4).

For more than half a century, ufologists stood their ground, skeptics laughed at them, and the Roswell event was slowly forgotten. But then there were a few events.

In 1994, the US Air Force issued a 900-page report on the top-secret Mogul project, during which the military was to launch high-flying balloons with special equipment to detect Soviet nuclear tests. The balloons were to include metal radar reflectors and some parts of them were to be glued with cardboard supplied by the toy manufacturer.

When one of the balloons crashed near Roswell, the whole affair had to be quickly shut down. Major Marcel's son, whose father made a vow of secrecy at the time, told his family to forget about it and not to talk to anyone about it, because it never happened, he strongly disagreed.

It was definitely not a meteorological balloon. It was definitely a means of flying. In addition, I remember those symbols and they certainly do not match those on the alleged adhesive tape.

A year later (1995), British film producer Santilli said that years ago he had obtained from a secret source a black-and-white film from 1947 depicting the autopsy of one of the aliens, which allegedly came from a wreck found near Roswell. The American station Fox will buy the film and broadcast it to 30 million viewers. Ufologists are excited, but skeptics start poking around. According to them, it is a recessive hoax, partly because a telephone with a helically twisted cable appears in the recording, which was not used at that time (until 1957) and then also for the way the pathologist holds the scalpel in the video.

Two years on it (1997) released the US Army another document titled Roswell report - case closed. It describes tests in which anthropomorphic puppets were dropped from high-altitude balloons. The goal was to find out what condition astronauts would have landed on if they had catapulted at these heights. So much for explaining about mysterious bodies. This time, however, ufologists will do a lot of work for a change. And it pays off for them. They manage to find out that the puppets, the so-called crash test dummies, began to be used only in 1953, six years after the Roswell event. In addition, it is quite suspicious that the army is inventing more and more legends.

So far, it is not entirely clear how the event happened exactly. For ufologists, it is a classic example of the government trying to utter facts about the existence of extraterrestrial civilization. So Roswell (the city) has become a place of pilgrimage for various meetings, celebrations and conferences. On the site of the crash is a memorial (a big stone) as a memory of the five dead aliens who died in the crash.

In 1978, Stanton T. Friedman interviewed Jesse Marcel, who stated, among other things, that the fragments found on William Brazel's ranch: "They did not come from this world." Marcel was convinced that the true nature and nature of the wreckage was hidden by the military. He also said that several small beams measuring 2,42 to 3,2 cm were found at the site of the wreckage², on which were unknown, hieroglyphs, similar characters. They were made of something that could be compared to balsa wood in appearance and weight. Yet they could not be ignited.

Jesse Marcel's son, Jesse Jr. divided the debris into three categories:

1. material resembling in its properties a foil with gray metallic on the surface
2. material at first glance reminiscent of bakelite in brown-black color
3. beams with purple hieroglyphs

Sergeant Frederik Benthal, a photography specialist, claimed that he and Cpl. Al Kirkpatrick flew from Washington DC to photograph foreign debris and unknown bodies. First, they were led north of the city to the side where Benthal said he had seen covered wrecked trucks moving. Then Kirkpatrik was sent to another collection point, and Benthal was transported to a nearby tent, where he photographed several small bodies lying on a board. Kirkpatrik then returned from the second place where the trucks were loaded with debris.

All their equipment including film material was seized. They then returned to the base and then flown to Washington, where they were briefly told that they were not allowed to speak about the matter and that they had not seen anything.

Jim Ragsdale claimed to have been a direct witness to the aliens and their craft. Their claims first appeared in the book The Truth About the UFO Crash at Roswell (1994). He claimed that while he was camping 48 km north of Roswell, he saw the object fly over his head and then his fall.

When he arrived at the crash site, he saw that the vessel was partially buried. About 1,2 to 1,5 tall dead bodies lay near the vessel. He and his girlfriend took some debris in their jeep. They left the place immediately after the army appeared.

Walter Haut was a spokesman for the 509th Bomb Squadron. He was also the author of the original press release, which claimed that the RAAF had found a flying disc. In 2002, he admitted that he was also a direct witness to the event, and that he had seen a spaceship and extraterrestrial bodies.

General Roger M. Ramey suggested that a press release be issued because the locals already knew about the local accident and were concerned that they might find that there was a second site where the shipwreck was much larger. The plan was to recognize the first place of the accident and thus divert attention from the second place. He also claims that Blanchard took him to RAAF hangar number 84 and showed him the spaceship. It looked metallic and had an ovoid shape approximately 3,7 to 4,6 meters in length and 1,8 meters in width. He also saw two bodies about 1,2 meters in size in the hangar. The bodies had large heads and were covered with a tarpaulin.
