Review Of ' The Day After Roswell '

Late one summer night in July of 1947, a couple saw a large glowing object quickly fly across the sky. It was later reported that a weather balloon crashed nearby. People have often wondered if it actually was a weather balloon, and some have believed it to be a downed alien craft that the government covered up. Theories about a Roswell coverup did not become widely known to the American public until a few decades after the crash. This change in public knowledge demonstrates the variability of conspiracy theories--some become popular immediately following the events they try to explain, and some can take years to catch on. From the crash in Roswell in 1947 to current day, America’s public knowledge of theories about Roswell has grown at an unsteady pace, driven by the types of technology used to disseminate information. America’s knowledge of the Roswell incident has developed in three phases. First, immediately after the crash in 1947, there was some attention given to the crash, but it was mostly local news reports. Second, after the testimony in 1984 of an eyewitness who was a major in the air force, conspiracies blossomed. Finally, after interest diminished had begun to diminish, the internet ignited another increase in Roswell theories.

Edward Nugent was not the only one to see this mysterious sighting. He saw some thought-intriguing crafts in the air as his description was nothing of the technology we had then or now. His characterization of the craft was “bright orange, I can’t tell what’s behind it” (N/A, 1952).

¨Sightings within 500 feet are subclassified as various types of ¨close encounters¨( Hynek 41.) There has been over 104,947 sightings in a decade. There was a sighting back in the 1600s when John Winthrop had unusual writing in his diary about a ¨great light in the nighttime sky”( Hynek 32.) In September 19, 1976 people in Tehran, Iran saw an unidentified flying object around twelve am. Systems started to fail when the unidentified flying object was twenty miles away. Most sightings have been reported in Roswell, New Mexico. In the year 1947, a balloon was seen crashing into the land of a nearby ranch near Roswell, New Mexico but theories say otherwise. Multiple accusations have been argued about it but, the real mystery, if it was just a United States Air Force balloon then why did they try to cover it up?

Roswell is perhaps one of the most famous alien reportings that has sparked the interest of many humans. The so claimed UFO pieces of debris that were found near Roswell, New Mexico were actually the remains of a military balloon. History, an informational website reveals that, “Project Mogul used sturdy, high-altitude balloons to carry low-frequency sound sensors into the tropopause, a faraway part of the Earth’s atmosphere that acts as a sound channel.” At the time, the U.S. military was

Alien invasion has been on the minds of many, and it is not something to take lightly. Aliens are real, the United States government has confirmed this, and these craft may be even closer than some claim. Unexplainable UFO sightings have been on the rise, popularized with the crash at Roswell, and they are not going anywhere. The fact that aliens are involved in these sightings is indisputable, but there are people who refuse to accept the truth. Many people state that Area 51 is just a “military base” and Roswell was just a spy balloon crash, but there is proof that there are aliens involved in both Area 51 and Roswell.

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.

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.

Witnesses say that they had seen UFO and have evidence to prove it. On July 3, 1947, Dan Wilmot and his wife were sitting on his porch when he saw a bright light. When he stared at it he saw a flying saucer. He said

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

Nearly 30 years later, in 1978, Stanton Friedman was prompted to revisit the crash. Stanton Friedman was an unemployed scientist, and a part-time UFO lecturer. On February 12, 1978 Friedman interviewed a man over the phone who said he handled the wreckage of a crashed spaceship, but the man, Major Jesse Marcel, couldn’t remember the month or even the year of the event. Marcel expressed that he believed the military had covered up the recovery of an alien spacecraft. Approximately one year later, William Moore, a colleague of Friedman, found newspaper clippings of the even that Marcel referred to. The research that Friedman and Moore uncovered has made the Roswell crash the most celebrated case in the literature of UFOs. In February of 1980, the National Inquirer ran the interview of Marcel and Friedman bringing in national and worldwide attention

Millions of people have claimed to see or experience something paranormal and out of the ordinary. Even if most of them can be explained away, that still leaves a lot of unexplainable objects in the sky and unexplainable sightings of other worldly beings. UFO sightings have been reported all over the world, not just the U.S.A. A flying disc was seen by pilots, crew members, and a bunch of other people at the Chicago O'Hare Airport in November, 2006. The whole story was shown on CNN January 6, 2007.

The Air Force investigated the incident by sending soldiers onto the rancher’s land. They too discovered additional mysterious debris, they gathered it up and took it away when they left the ranch. Four days later, the Air Force announced that a Flying Saucer had landed, then one they changed their story and said that a weather balloon had crashed. The surrounding community did not believe this to be true, and neither did the rest of the people in the nation. Americans alike, were not satisfied with these findings. They believed the government was trying to cover something

     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.

The biggest question we all ask ourselves at one point in time or another is, are we really alone in the universe? Many believe that all known encounters and evidence is either false, a hoax, or an attempt at fame and glory. True believers stick to the physical evidence and hard facts that follow these mysterious encounters. One specific event that occurred at Roswell, New Mexico in 1947 has baffled theorists and experts for generations and will continue to leave a controversial standpoint on what really may have occurred. This occurrence in particular has left a lot of unanswered questions about extraterrestrial existence due to the fact that most of the evidence collected from the incident is to either to old to be a credible source or the government has covered up the evidence and left a false influence behind. Overall, how has outside influence altered personal encounters and experience with extraterrestrial contact with relation to the Roswell Incident?
