Ufos Research Paper

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.

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

Area 51 and the Roswell crash have been at the center of UFO watchers and conspiracy theorists for decades, and for obvious reasons. Roswell sparked a flame that doesn’t seem to go out, it all started as an unknown object crashed near a town in the middle of nowhere. Roswell is a small town in New Mexico, “about 75 miles from the town of Roswell, New Mexico, a rancher named Mac Brazel” found a crashed object and claimed it looked

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

A mysterious video was captured May 18th on the ISS live stream. What appears to be some kind of UFO is seen accelerating out of Earth's atmosphere into space right before the feed abruptly cuts out. ISS may have just accidently captured evidence of the underground devil aliens that scientists have long theorized about.

The government claims it was not alien aircraft or aliens and nothing of the sort was ever recovered. They have stated it was only a weather balloon. Alternatively, the evidence may exist but we, the public, are simply denied access to it by the big government on earth. But there are reasons why the government keep hiding and denying about the truth of their existence. The government is

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

During the night of July 1, 1947, the 509th airfield base in New Mexico was on high alert. They were catching blips of something, something that moved too fast to be any earthly aircraft. The small flashing dots would start at one corner of the radar and dart to the opposite, moving at impossible speeds. They ran multiple tests to see if what they were seeing was really happening, and every test showed it was. They confirmed it with radar control at White Sands , but there was little else they could do besides

General Hoyt S. Vandenberg, to take control of the news coming out of Roswell. It was with Vandenberg’s arrival that the military cover up began. Within a few hours the associated press was told that Marcel had been mistaken and that infact it was a weather balloon that had crashed not a UFO. Journalists were permitted to take photographs of the debris. Years later researchers Kevin D. Randle and Donald R. Schmitt discovered that “The original debris was replaced by balloon wreckage.minutes before newsmen were ushered in.”(Dudley 32)

Extraterrestrial encounters of all forms and kinds leave some kind of evidence whether it is physical or non tangible evidence like a person’s story of seeing a flying saucer or possesses photos of the unidentified flying object. These forms of evidence aren’t always the most reliable as many are reported false and considered hoaxes. Ever since the incident at Roswell, any information or evidence that proves other worldly existence automatically becomes the center of attention and can bring an individual fame and even

     For half a century the subject of UFO has been discussed by scientists, ecologists, politicians, and common people around the world. It seems paradoxical, but the main question of their discussion concerns existence or non-existence of UFO itself, so many people is not sure that the very subject of their debate really exists. I share the opinion of those who do not believe in UFO saying that this phenomenon has not been scientifically proved, and everything its adherents operates is conjecture and fantasy, and disconnected stories of those who allegedly have seen UFO are far from scientific explanation of the event.
