UFOs: The Roswell Mystery

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.

Nearly half of our dear earthlings believe that extraterrestrial creatures and UFOs are real, but we still do not have a single piece of solid evidence that proves, aliens and flying saucers are in fact real. For the past few years people have been reporting alien sightings, but none of them have been fully proven. Scientists and other officials have proven them to be wrong again and again with government explanations. Aliens are extraterrestrial creatures that do not exist. In the cases of Roswell, area 51, and alien abduction, actual facts have proven that they were indeed misunderstandings by the public that caused people to think that there were alien and UFO sightings.

     In 1947 a UFO was seen near the town of Roswell, New Mexico. It 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.

We live in a universe that is about 46 billion light years old. In a world, as massive as ours there must be some form of extraterrestrial life out in the galaxy. For thousands of years ancient peoples, such as the Greeks, have wondered the same question. Are we alone? As our technology advances, things such as videos and photographs are surfacing of people claiming to see such alien life. Whether it is an unidentified flying object, or if it’s from someone claiming to see an actual alien, there are thousands of people that believe they have seen proof. Some also claim that the government is hiding things behind our backs, like the Roswell UFO incident for example. Though many people refuse to believe in the existence of alien life forms until they see evidence, the fact that multitudes of people have eye-witness accounts, the improbability that we are alone, and the idea that we have thought of aliens so long, bring forth the evidence that proves something is out there.

“No child had such an oversized balloon shaped head. It didn’t even look human, although it had human like features” (18). This is a description of an extraterrestrial from the Roswell incident in the book The Day After Roswell written by Col. Philip J. Corso (Ret.) with WIlliam J. Birnes. This book is quite the interesting read to say the least. Extraterrestrials, flying saucers, and “foreign technology” are some of the complications in Corso’s autobiography during his time in military intelligence working at The Pentagon. Corso describes everything between the events of a flying saucer crash that occurred in Roswell, NM. on July 4, 1947 to the modern day technology that the United States has managed to reverse engineer due to the crash.

In 1947, an unidentified flying object crashed into the small town of Roswell, New Mexico. The United States Air Force published a report in 1994. So why do conspiracists still believe an alien crashed into Roswell?

I am sure that everyone of you have heard about aliens and UFOs. Indeed, we all have heard about the famous case of aliens and UFOs in Roswell, New Mexico. Most people might be interested in the topic of aliens, but I know that the majority of you just think of it as rumours and the existence of them are impossible. Therefore, I am standing here in front all of you to make you change your perspective. I am strongly confident that I have found the evidence of their real existence to convince all of you.

In the summer of 1947, a rancher in Roswell, New Mexico, by the name of Mac Brazel, discovered unusual occurrences and objects on his property. Some of the things he discovered seemed strange to him because they appeared on his land and he was extremely familiar with every square foot of that land and knew the strange objects didn’t belong to him. What he found included metals, plastics, and foil reflectors, which were held together by tape forming some sort of apparatus. Not knowing what to do, he gathered up the objects and contacted the Roswell Sheriff’s Department. The Sheriff didn’t know what to do with the material either, so he contacted the local U.S. Air Force base in hopes that they could get to the bottom of these unusual disturbances on the Brazel Ranch. This occurrence is known as the “Roswell Incident” and to this day, there are still many unanswered questions about what really went on.

     The Roswell incident is one of the most publicized and well-known accounts of a possible UFO crash in the world. Perhaps the greatest evidence that a UFO did indeed crash near Roswell, is the wide scale military cover up that took place after the crash. This along with numerous eyewitness accounts of the crash site, prove that what ever

At times when illegal immigration has been the subject of much debate in the United States, there have been many conspiracy theorist claiming that there have been many sightings of migrants from outside this planet. These sighting of alien and unidentified flying object (UFO) has been topic of discussion for relatively long time now. This video is 1991 interview with Amaury Rivera Toro, one of the alien witnesses, who claims to have been abducted by aliens in Puerto Rico on May 14, 1988. Throughout the interview, Rivera tells his tale of abduction, encounter with the aliens, who were human like, and presents the picture of the UFO. The video is then followed by an interview with a conspiracy theorist who has been working on the similar cases and supports the claims made by Rivera.

A former Navy officer came forward about aliens and UFO activity on Antarctica. He was there between 1983 and 1997. Brian (fake name) flew cargo and rescue missions. He said he saw several UFOs during his flights. However, the craziest stories were that of lost researchers. Brian believes the lost researchers made contact with aliens. He said they were ghost white and in shock. Like they had seen a ghost. Are humans alone?

In reality, many scientists were skeptical of both UFOs and of alien life in general; they contended that interstellar travel would be easy for advanced civilizations, so the lack of overt contact disproved alien existence. Yet most UFO opponents do believe alien life exists out in the universe, just not here. So they defend the near impossibility of interstellar travel, which contradicts a considerable portion of the scientific community (Thompson, 1990).
