In the mid 1950’s, American aircraft like American Airlines and Delta Airlines flew under 20,000 feet while military aircraft like F106, and the C-2, flew under 40,000 feet. Once the U-2 was made it flew above 60,000 feet, an unexpected side effect was increasing the number of UFO reports. Sight occurred often in the early hours , when pilots flown west they saw the U-2 silver wings reflect the sunset, giving the aircraft a more of a “blazing” appearance. Many of the people sending reports came to the air force's Project Blue Book, which investigated UFO sighting, through air- traffic controllers and letters to the government. …show more content…

The roswell Army Air Field issued a press release from a guy name Gen William Blanchard saying that it had recovered the remains of a unidentified flying object. The Army quickly reacted to the statement that as told by Gen saying “it was not a flying disc at all but a weather balloon”. But the first statement got out in several paper before the army had stated that it was a weather balloon. The hole circonstance was all forgotten until the 1970’s were a nuclear physicist Stanton T. Friedman wrote a book stating that the crash was a ended up having some extraterrestrial activity. In 1990s ,declassified document stated that the objects at roswell that was recovered was actually a balloon created for a surveillance program called Project Mogul. That why the weathering balloon theory was created because the program was top
Rumor has it, the object was a saucer, but according to the military, the object was a weather balloon. There has been witnesses that claim they saw pieces of the object firsthand and they described them as “unusual” and “never before seen”. Many people think the weather balloon story was a cover up for what really happened, but to this day, no one really knows what actually happened. Ever since then, this conspiracy has attracted, and keeps attracting many tourists to visit the UFO Museum here in Roswell. However, the UFO Museum is not the only impressive thing this town has to offer. Roswell is also home to one of the most unexpected McDonald’s you will ever see. This McDonald’s is actually shaped to look like an open flying saucer that has a space theme inside. It was made to impress and represent what Roswell is most known for,” the UFO crash of ‘47”. In addition to the alien conspiracy, Roswell is also known for its great state park. Bottomless Lakes State Park is a great place to visit with family in the summer. According to the legend, the lake is supposedly bottomless, but it actually turns out that the lake the

Walter Haut issued a press release that stated they had recovered a flying saucer. The next day another press release was issued from a general, stating it was a weather balloon. This was the start of rumors and conspiracy theories about UFO visitations and the military covering things up.
“The number of UFO sighting around the base has created an aura of mystery around Area 51 and UFO buffs believe it holds secrets around it.”(Demand Media, Inc., Doug Desjardins, Area 51 Facts, Web.). Many people believe that Area 51 contains UFOs and aliens; it is one of the most known conspiracy theories about Area 51. People have spotted and captured on camera what they believe are to be UFOs.

Area 51 and the Roswell crash have been at the center of UFO watchers and conspiracy theorists for decades, and for obvious reasons. Roswell sparked a flame that doesn’t seem to go out, it all started as an unknown object crashed near a town in the middle of nowhere. Roswell is a small town in New Mexico, “about 75 miles from the town of Roswell, New Mexico, a rancher named Mac Brazel” found a crashed object and claimed it looked
The incident in Roswell, New Mexico proves they keep alien and unidentified flying objects remains in Area 51. In 1947 an unidentified flying object crash was reported to the police in Roswell, New Mexico. There was hundreds of witnesses that day, but this one man in particular named William Mac Brazel had a different experience. William Mac Brazel is the New Mexico rancher who reported this incident to the local sheriff. Brazel reported to the sheriff that he might of found remains of the flying object that crashed that day.

The creation of Area 51 began in April of 1955, when a Lockheed test pilot, Tony LeVier, searched for a remote site to test the U-2. Grooms Lake is chosen as the location for the runway. By August of 1955, the U-2 makes its first flight from Grooms Lake. That was only the beginning for test flights from Area 51. In April 1962, the first A-12 Blackbird was tested at Groom Lake. February 1982, the F-117A Stealth fighter takes off for the first time. All other test flights have not been released to the public, but that doesn't mean they don't occur. However, they are, in no way, shape or form, alien test flights. Nearly all of the evidence that supports the alien spacecraft theory, is without backing, or solid information. Also, the US
Many people believe this story is too outlandish to believe. This is the strategy that The Foreign Technology Desk decided to go for. Between the time of the Roswell crash and the beginning of The Foreign Technology Desk, the Air Force had branched off from the Army, taking artifacts with it. This added another layer to difficulty to keeping the story secret. At first, the military blew off the Roswell crash as a weather balloon and threatened majority of the eye witnesses. This had kept them quiet for a while but people eventually talk. The military decided to stop covering it up and would leak little bits of information to people who would make something out of it. Corso states, “This was called camouflage with limited exposure” (85). This was in order to make the talking witnesses to look like nut jobs. If they denied it like it was nothing, then the media thought it was nothing. Eventually tabloids would buy the stories and then the credibility was lost. This built an alien
The name of the person that found it was Mac Brazel and he lived just outside of Roswell, New Mexico(History.com para 1). The object he found look like something out of this world with metallic sticks held together with tape, chunks of plastic and a reflecting surface.

G. People began to see stranger objects in a remote area of Nevada during the 1950’s. They claimed to see UFP’s in the sky as well as strange lights. 2. Many of these people thought that these sightings had a reaction to a near-by U.S. military base called Groom Lake (present day Area 51). b. Area 51 is known by many different names, including: Groom Lake, Dreamland, The Box, Homey Airport, and Watertown Strip.
To begin, Jerome Clark stated, “Area 51 is something infinitely stranger: a place where scientist, engineer, and technicians strive to unlock the secrets of extraterrestrial technology” (Clark 1). For example, Area 51 constructs and makes machinery and aircraft to be given to the United States government for use in the war (Brannan 1). Area 51 is a military base where they create different military weapons and gear that are mysterious and secretive to the world. Therefore, there is one person who declares that they have worked at Area 51 who is Robert Lazar. Robert Lazar worked at Area 51 in the 1988 as a physicist (Clark 28).
is an unofficial title that often refers to an area in southern Nevada containing United States Air force (USAF) Facilities.” (Cameron, 1). “To the U.S government, it’s simply the Nevada Test and Training Range, part of Edwards (formerly Nellis) Air Force Base (Radford, 1). Area 51 is a military base that was chosen as an isolated location to construct the U-2. The U-2 project was an aircraft developed to spy on the Soviet Union. The military needed a remote location to keep their activities away from the public. If the public found out the U-2 project would be on every news channel for the Soviet Union to find out. For the protection of the United States,
General Hoyt S. Vandenberg, to take control of the news coming out of Roswell. It was with Vandenberg’s arrival that the military cover up began. Within a few hours the associated press was told that Marcel had been mistaken and that infact it was a weather balloon that had crashed not a UFO. Journalists were permitted to take photographs of the debris. Years later researchers Kevin D. Randle and Donald R. Schmitt discovered that “The original debris was replaced by balloon wreckage.minutes before newsmen were ushered in.”(Dudley 32)
In June 1947, while flying his small plane, businessman and civilian pilot Kenneth Arnold reported seeing nine objects moving at high speeds through the skies over Washington’s Mount Rainier. Widely publicized reports of Arnold’s experience, followed by an increasing number of reported UFO sightings, led the U.S. Air Force to begin an investigation into the sightings, called Operation Sign, in 1948. The initial investigation resulted in the formation of Project Blue Book in 1952; that project became the longest running of the U.S. government’s official inquiries into UFO sightings, compiling reports on more than 12,000 sightings or related events from 1952 to its dismantling in 1969.
On January 25, 1878, The Denison Daily News noted that John Martin, a local farmer, had reported seeing a large, dark, circular object resembling a balloon flying "at wonderful speed." Martin, according to the newspaper account, said it appeared to be about the size of a saucer, the first known use of the word "saucer" in association with a UFO.[23]
