On January 23, 1974, many people saw strange green lights over a town called Chester, England. No one knew what they were. Then, two hours later, a big object was seen, and it looked like it was falling. Soon, the object hit one of the nearby Berwyn Mountains and cause the ground to shake. The shaking had the intensity of a small sized earthquake. No one knew what had happened. Some people thought that a plane had crashed, and others blamed aliens. The army came, barricaded the area for a few days, but then denied a crash ever taking place at all. A soldier using the name James Prescott told a newspaper that he and 4 other soldiers found 2 boxes containing a dead alien. Rumors spread quickly, but nobody knew for sure. Even to this day, no
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. After the find Mac called the police and in turn the police called the air base on the outside of town. Then the army came and toke it away in armored trucks then said it was a weather balloon. Many people said that it was a UFO or a undefined unidentified flying object. Mac was almost happy he got some
Was the criticism of Gov./Col. Sibley justified? Describe what his explanations were and the arguments of those who wanted him to hurry up. Draw a conclusion evaluating which arguments were best.
In 1957, Gordon Cooper was flying over West Germany and claimed to have seen a UFO. Later, Cooper was the manager at the Edwards Air Force base. A couple of his crew
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
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.
This event had gave a kick of more than a half century of the conspiracy theories surrounding unidentified flying objects, in other words “UFOs”. Numerous witnesses reported seeing metallic debris scattered over a wide area and at least one reported seeing a blazing craft crossing the sky shortly before it had crashed. In recent years, witnesses have added significant new details, including claims of a large military operation dedicated to recovering alien craft and aliens themselves, at as many as 11 crash sites, and alleged witness intimidation. In 1989, former mortician Glenn Dennis claimed that he was involved in alien autopsies which were carried out at the Roswell air force base. This conspiracy theory has been said a million times by the U.S military repeatedly changing its story. Hours of the army telling reporters that it had recovered a crashed saucer, senior officer insisted that the only thing that has ever fallen from the sky was a weather balloon. A second report was released in 1997, concluding that alien bodies were likely a combination of innocently transformed memories of military accidents involving injured or killed personnel, and the recovery of anthropomorphic dummies in military program like Project High Dive conducted in the 1950s. Since the late 1990s, the debate about Roswell has polarised with several former pro-UFO researchers concluding that the craft was indeed,
On April 18, 1906 at 5:12 a.m. an earthquake of an estimated moment magnitude of 7.8 hit
In the article “Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act,” the National Women’s Law Center states, on average, women earn 78 cents for every dollar their male counterparts earn. Of these women, African American women earn 64 cents, while Latin American women earn a mere 55 cents. The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act became one of the many stepping stones in achieving equal pay. Women must continue to make people aware of the discrimination they faced in the workplace on a daily basis.
Because seismic activity was so common in the area, citizens paid little attention in early August of 79 when several quakes shook the earth beneath Herculaneum and Pompeii. People were unprepared for the explosion that took place shortly after noon on the 24th
Some of the most intrigueing information about the Roswell incident comes from eyewitnesses. The military cover up did not come out until years later
George Heinrich Crist, a resident of Kentucky, was settled with his family in a well-built house when the New Madrid Earthquake of 1811 came across their path, unlike a storm this “thing” had no warnings. He chose to share his account of this quake, or quakes. This was part of his life and also a part of history in the making so that is why I believe he shared his personal essay. It’s not an argumentative account but rather short entries from 5 months from his life. Kentucky wasn’t the only state that was hurt, 6 other states were involved. The term “New Madrid Earthquake” refers to portions of Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi. This was the biggest earthquake (series of earthquakes) as it changed the course of the Mississippi river.
In 1947 a UFO was seen near the town of Roswell, New Mexico. It was
Napoleon made many mistakes. The interests of Napoleon and Great Britain clashed too much to keep the peace which was a problem. He marched to the English Channel with a massive Army and self-confident to invade England. With 24 miles of water and British sea power ahead of him, to overcome those barriers he combined French and Spanish fleet and planned his next move. He suddenly turned his Army eastward, surrounded an exposed Austrian army and forced it to surrender. This all happened on October 20th, and the next day Admiral Nelson saw the combined fleets and annihilated them.
Belief in Jesus Christ is the basis of Christian religion, this figure is important to study because not only is Jesus the son of God, but he serves as Priest, Prophet, and King to humanity. These are all important attributes to have since Jesus acts as the mediator between the Father and Humankind. Without Jesus there would be no forgiveness of sins, knowledge of God himself, or listener of prayers. To fully understand the importance of Jesus’s role in the Christian faith there are several aspects that need to be further discussed, including, Jesus’s role in the Holy Trinity, the atonement, eschatology and the incarnation. Once these aspects can be comprehended a person can create their own opinion on how to understand and worship Jesus, what is the true meaning of Jesus’s humanity and how Jesus lived his life versus how his followers live theirs.
