Roswell, New Mexico
To many people, Roswell is a small, lousy city with not very much to do. To others, Roswell is a great community, the perfect place to retire, to me Roswell is home. Throughout my life, I have traveled to many places. I have been to “Sin City” (Las Vegas, NV), Denver, Colorado, Lubbock, Texas, and Chihuahua, Mexico. I love traveling; it’s fun to explore new sights and places. But no matter where I roam, Roswell, New Mexico will always be home. I was born and raised in this quiet and peaceful city. However, Roswell, hasn’t always been a quiet place. In July of 1947, an unidentified object crashed on a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico. According to the story, a local rancher discovered the object and drove to Roswell to report it. The crash site was eventually closed and the wreckage was handled by the

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
One of the strangest most frightening flying saucer sightings occurred in Flatwoods West Virginia on September 19 1952. Eddie May who was just 13 years old at the time and his brother Fred who was 12 were out walking on that dark misty night when they saw a round object dropping down through the sky amidst streams of fire. After the UFO disappeared behind some trees the boys ran to tell their mother what they had seen. Refusing to believe her sons’ story Mrs. May went outside and saw a red flashing light glowing on the hillside. Frightened she sent the boys to get help and they soon returned with Gene Lemon a young National Guardsman. Armed with only a flashlight Lemon led the May family and 3 other children up the hill.
New Mexico and the Manhattan Project The United States’ efforts to develop the atomic bomb was called the Manhattan project. The Manhattan project was centered in Los Alamos, New Mexico. This is where the majority of the research, development, and testing for the first atomic bomb took place. This project began in 1941 shortly after the United States received information on Germanys’ new bomb developments, and their knowledge on splitting the uranium atom. At around the same time, President Franklin Roosevelt issued his Executive Order 9066.
The government in Roswell, New Mexico was going to try and cover up the Ufo crash that happened on July 4, 1947 and how a citizen found it. The New Mexico government didn't want any of the citizens to find out about the crash and they didn't want them to know what actually happened that day. They tried to cover up the crash by telling the press lies telling them that it was a weather balloon and that there was no crashed Ufos. Some of the Roswell citizens didn’t believe that the government was telling the truth about the crash and some people started to look into the crash, some even hired their own personal investigators. “ General Roger Ramey, stating it was a weather balloon.
The Mexican-American war determined the destiny of the United States of America, it determined whether or not it would become a world power and it established the size of the United States of America. Perhaps the war was inevitable due to the idea of Manifest Destiny - Americans thought they had the divine right to extend their territory. The Mexican-American War started mainly because of the annexation of the Republic of Texas (established in 1836 after breaking away from Mexico). The United States and Mexico still had conflicts on what the borders of Texas was, the United States claimed that the Texas border with Mexico was the Rio Grande, but the Mexicans said that it was the Nueces River, so the land in between were disputed and
In fact, many of the accounts contradict each other and rely on memories of people from over thirty years before. Because of this, I found it difficult to believe most of the stories. "For example, Friedman used secondhand stories of a government engineer Barney Barnett and some unidentified archeology students from an unknown university to back up another startling discovery" (Sobel). According to these sources, dead extraterrestrial aliens were also found in the desert of Roswell. Marcel never mentioned any alien bodies lying near the wreckage and neither did the Brazel family. He also added that the rest of the saucer landed at a crash site in a town called Corona, ninety miles northwest of Roswell and that a second saucer crashed 150 miles away in San Augustin, New Mexico. He believed two saucers crashed in midair, scattering debris and bodies over a wide area. Soon, a supposed eyewitness, Gerald F. Anderson, contacted Friedman to support his claim. According to him, he came upon the craft with its alien corpses scattered in the sand when he was rock climbing with his family: “There was a big gouge mark where it had cut a furrow across the arroyo....That’s when my brother said, ‘That’s a goddamn spaceship! Them’s Martians! (Sobel 96).” Friedman published Anderson’s account, though no eyewitnesses ever backed up this story. Friedman’s work sparked the interest of other
Some time in July of 1947, a mysterious flying object zigzagged across the skies of New Mexico. Within twenty-four hours the object disappeared from radar just as mysteriously as it had appeared. It was last seen in a small town in the middle of the Arizona desert, it’s name, Roswell.
In my opinion It is wise to leave New Mexico for other states because the state need more jobs, minimum wage needs to be raised and it also needs to have more universities and community colleges with a larger variety of careers. New Mexico is having a problem where there is people who has more opportunities to success in other states rather than this one. Galvin states “Between 2010 and 2016, about 53,000 more people moved out of New Mexico than moved in, according to U.S. Census estimates” ( Galvin, 2017, para 4). In the following paragraphs I will explain why is it wise to leave New Mexico for other states and the reasons why 53,000 more people moved out of New mExico than in.
As I looked out the window and saw barren dirt roads, no overflowing shopping centers or even a Wal-Mart, I began to question where my parents had brought me. We were in Presidio, TX, a small town on the border of the United States and Ojinaga, Mexico. I questioned how my grandparents, or even my dad could have lived in such an underdeveloped town for years. The visits to Presidio became somewhat constant and rather than staying weekends, I stayed months. I developed an appreciation for the town and I could now communicate with the community shouting “Buenos Dias!” to everyone I ran into on our morning walks to the local market. During one of my prolong stays my five year old sister developed a urinary tract infection. The infection could have
Any discussion on this conspiracy, however, will not be complete without talking what went and goes on in Roswell, New Mexico, or better known as Area 51. Area 51 is known to be a US Military Base where 75 miles away, there reported to be a UFO crash landing on July 2, 1947 that left an exceptional amount of debris all over the area. The Roswell Army Air Field reported that they recovered a “flying disc” but a few hours after this information was released, the government immediately said it was a “weather balloon.” RAAF even reported having recovered alien bodies but as expected, the government denied again and simply stated that it was the military men’s trauma from accidents. Countless witnesses during and after the reported crash date have confirmed seeing flying objects, crop circles and usual activity within the area. Area 51 is now conspired to be a place where they examine evidences of alien bodies, UFO crashes, etc, but the government refuses to confirm and have denied these allegations. More than sightings, as promised, let me take you in on one of the craziest abduction stories.
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 sheriff that was contacted that day is a man named George Wilcox he later reported this to the military authorities. After examination and collection of the wreck the next day the government said that all it was all a misunderstanding and that it was only a weather balloon.
