The United States Government Covers Up Files And Reports

Reason to Listen: There are two types of governments today. The first is the one you study in your civic books, you read about in the newspaper, and the one you vote for during elections. The second type of government is hidden, the one that carries out the US policies, gathering intelligence, planning and executing secret operations and conducting espionage around the globe (Engelhardt,, 2012). In Mike Lofgren’s

For more than 60 years, the debate between reality and conspiracy has raged on with the concept of aliens in the center(History.com Staff). In Roswell, New Mexico in 1947 what is believed by conspiracy theorists to be a flying saucer was found in a rancher’s sheep pasture. The idea that exterrestrial life could possibly exist may seem out of this world to some. But, to an entire town of people, the idea is not as far fetched.

This is an example of their plans going into action yet our governments exposed to the public yet nothings done our government easily throws out the term conspiracy and from that point on no matter how much evidence or how many statements you have the claim is viewed as faulty. The American definition for conspiracy is an evil, unlawful, treacherous, or surreptitious plan formulated in secret by two or more persons; plot (Collins)”.

At the time, this was biggest thing to happen in America and everyone was interested in this incident and the conspiracies that came with it. Such rumors as there being a surviving extraterrestrial creature that came with the crash soon entertained the people of America (Park para 17). Due to all the different stories being told to the public, people started to just say that there was an incident in Roswell that had to do with an extraterrestrial encounter and the government was covering it up. It was not until decades later in 1994 that the military decided to come clean. According to their report, the remains of the wreckage found on that night were not of any kind of spaceship, but instead of a crashed weather balloon apart of a secret mission called Project Mogul (DiSpezio para 14). By 1997 the Air Force had gathered all information related to the Roswell incident and formed a formal report. The formal report drew one of the biggest crowds on record for the Pentagon press conference (Park para 24). Although the report was officially released, it was still far too late. The government hoped that the report would change people’s mind about the whole conspiracy, but anything they did was seen as a conspiracy. Everything that has ever been said by the government after that original report of a flying disc being recovered has been

Friday November 11th, I saw many articles of history claiming that government surveillance has been happening since Watergate and after the 9/11 attacks. Jane Harman implies that security sparked from the mistake of not protecting enough (Harman). The USA PATRIOT Act gave the government the authority to research forms of communication prior to 9/11 (“Domestic”). President George W. Bush authorized the National Security Agency, NSA, to look into the media and is believed to be the largest intelligence agency in the United States (“Domestic”). NSA has a location in Utah that can hold about 100 years of international data (Maney). Also, Lauren Regan claims that the new facility will be 1.5 million square feet (Regan 32). It’s shocking that they’ve made that big of a

Just four days after this incident the Roswell Army Air Force made reports on the capturing of a “flying saucer”. Just one day later

The first theory which is very known to the world is, that a highly upgraded rocket from space which only a few knew about and however it just crashed. This theory leads to second thoughts about the crash and if this news could be a lie, to be a cover up. On the other hand a rancher states “I saw 2 aliens dead, 1 dying, and 1 trying to communicate.” This quote said by the rancher gives a different opinion or on look of the crash as if there was aliens in the “flying saucer.” Although the air force goes on by saying it was a weather balloon crash and the appearance of an alien was the after occurrences, of a swelled head from the person involved in the crash. This leads to having three different stories about how one crash occurred, which one real is yet to be revealed. All in all there is many different theories of this unknown crash, that occurred in Roswell, New Mexico in the year of 1947 but yet there is still the

On its website, history tells the story of the spacecraft that crashed in Roswell (Roswell). In the summer of 1947, a rancher by the name Mac Brazel discovered debris in his sheep pasture outside Roswell, New Mexico. Not knowing what to do with the unfamiliar objects, Brazel reported and turned it into the sheriff. It wasn't until long that the headlines began to read “RAAF captures flying saucer on ranch in Roswell region”. The government quickly turned the rumors down by stating it was a crashed weather balloon. This still did not affect the peoples opinion if what it was, many still believed it was a UFO. This still affects our community till this day, and still no one knows what really was found the summer of 1947.

Ever since the American public was made aware of the United States government’s surveillance policies, it has been a hotly debated issue across the nation. In 2013, it was revealed that the NSA had, for some time, been collecting data on American citizens, in terms of everything from their Internet history to their phone records. When the story broke, it was a huge talking point, not only across the country, but also throughout the world. The man who introduced Americans to this idea was Edward Snowden.

Recently, the case of the Inland Empire men accused of organizing a terrorist plot has become highlighted news in the United States (Hansen, 2014). For months, the Federal Bureau of Investigation was monitoring their activities with the active participation of a confidential

The UFO crashed in 1947. The crash happened seventy-five miles from Roswell, New Mexico. The crash happened closer to Corona, New Mexico. The UFO was found by William Brazel. He found it while checking on the sheep after a thunderstorm. He thought he heard something explode but thought it was just thunder. He showed it to his neighbors and th said to report it to the sheriff. Brazel told the sheriff he might of found a UFO. The sheriff told the Roswell Air Force about the report.

The event that kick-started more than a half century of conspiracy theories surrounding unidentified flying objects UFOs. Something did crash at Roswell, New Mexico, sometime before July 7, 1947 and at first the US authorities stated explicitly that this was a flying saucer or disk. 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 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

The crash that occurred in Roswell and the secret Air Base called Area 51 are important to our country’s history, both of these have led to questions today about aliens and if there is anything else out there. The government created an open conspiracy bout the “alien crash” in Roswell, they said it was a weather balloon not aliens; CIA and the government had to cover up the reality of the “alien crash” which was a secretive mission to spy on the soviet union called Project Mogul; Area 51 is a secret Air Craft base that the CIA and Air Force use to create U.S spy planes to keep an eye on the soviet union or now which is countries in the Middle East after terrorist attacks on the U.S; CIA also uses this base to advance military science and technology faster and

Some believe that an alien spacecraft crashed in Roswell, N.M., and that the government shipped the wreckage and a body to Area 51 for examination and study. Others claim the facility has underground levels and tunnels connecting it to other secret sites, and that it contains warehouses full of alien technology and even living alien

In 1947 Walter Haut, a public information officer for the Roswell army air field, issued a press release that military personnel had recovered a “flying disc” that had crashed near a ranch near Roswell. However, the Military later informed the public that the object was not a “flying disc”, but a weather balloon. The story was nearly forgotten until the late 1970’s, when UFO researchers began interviewing people affiliated with the Roswell incident, and recovering documents. They came to the conclusion that a UFO did crash at the ranch near Roswell, alien bodies were recovered by the military, and there was a cover up in place. Then books, movies, and television episodes were created that talked about what happened near Roswell, and polls showed that a large number of people believed that an alien spacecraft did crash in Roswell. In response to the allegations made by UFO researchers, the U.S government released a report in 1994 explaining that the weather balloon that crashed in Roswell was from Project Mogul, a top secret military program where microphones were flown on
