UFO sightings are at an all-time high and The Craze for UFO and alien sightings and the conspiracy theories around them refuses to Abate people even celebrate World UFO day on July 2nd but do you know why it's July 2nd well one of the most fascinating intriguing disturbing and yet mysterious incidents occurred on the 2nd of July 1947 at Roswell New Mexico what makes this incident more thrilling is that the questions raised then stand unanswered to this day having no clear answers as to what actually happened that day let's uncover the infamous Roswell incident one layer
at a time welcome to lab 360 it's time to explore this incident which can be said to be America's most infamous UFO incident can be disturbing even for hardcore Skeptics because this is probably the first and last incident where a government agency admitted to having access to something extraterrestrial though the statement was later retracted what's more disturbing is that even after 70 years the sequence of events that transpired that night remained shrouded in mystery and when the truth lies buried theories start spawning speculating what must have happened so we keep getting new versions even today
but some facts s about this incident are agreed upon by everyone let's first blow the dust off those the story which everyone agrees upon goes like this sometime in late June 1947 when the Rumblings of the Cold War had just begun to creep up Rancher M brazel found wreckage in his property in Lincoln County about 75 Mi north of Roswell New Mexico what is important to note here is that stories of sightings of flying ERS in that area were already doing rounds since the past few days did these stories fuel people's imagination and people started
associating those things to extraterrestrials which they normally wouldn't have associated with such a fancy and fantastic possibility anyway coming back to the story Brazil found materials like tin foil a rather tough paper and rubber strips in the wreckage and he attributed the discovery to something of extraterrestrial origin he brought some of the material to sheriff George Wilcox who in turn brought it to the attention of Colonel William Blanchard the then commanding officer of the Roswell Army Airfield or the raaf it would be still hard to believe the shocking press release that came from raaf the
next day the many rumors regarding the flying disc became a reality yesterday when the intelligence office of the 509th bomb group of the Eighth Air Force Roswell Army Airfield was fortunate enough to gain possession of a disc through the cooperation of one of the local ranchers and the Sheriff's Office of Chavez County the July 8th 1947 copy of the Roswell Daily Record released the news with a title that read RAF captures Flying Saucer on Ranch in Roswell region it was speculated that the UFO crash occurred on the 2nd of July what is intriguing is that
after this first statement the government itself changed its version of the story a few times was it an attempt to cover up the truly extraterrestrial Discovery or was it a hasty cheeky press release of an overimaginative officer which had put the government in Jeopardy now leaving them with no option but to do damage control so US Army officials quickly did a u-turn on the statement the very next day and claimed that the debris was actually from a weather balloon then in 1978 retired Air Force officer Jesse Marcel claimed that the weather balloon story was a
coverup and said that the debris could indeed be of extraterrestrial origin major Jessie Marcel was the one who had overseen the raaf investigation of the crash site and the recovered materials on that fateful day then in 1994 the US Air Force conceded that their weather balloon story was indeed bogus and now said that the debris was from a spy device which was created under the project Mogul project mogul was a classified project until 1994 a more extensive report followed in 1997 in which claims of alien bodies being taken away from the site on that day
were attempted to be quelled saying those were parachute test dummies this particular place Roswell assumes interesting context when seen from the lens of National Security Roswell and surrounding regions had a long association with covert sensitive military operations 2 hours West of Roswell the first atomic bomb was detonated you had ongoing Atomic research at Los Alamos you had all this testing of captured German V2 rockets at White Sands said Donald Schmidt co-founder of the international UFO Museum and Research Center at Roswell was it this military halalu going on under covers that was attracting the attention of
aliens there was it really the special balloon of a secret National security Mission as later claimed in a possible damage control by the US Air Force was it a spy plane or an actual flying disc questions Galore but answers evade more than 70 years later the quaint town of Roswell still continues to attract visitors because of this unique and fascinating incident why even the city signboard features a flying disc as does a McDonald's it boasts of a UFO Museum alien themed street lights and even an artwork installation where the mother of a human family is
seen offering pie to an alien family beside a broken UFO many movies and shows have plots revolving around the Roswell incident and the coverups that ensued famous among those are Star Trek Deep Space 9 episode the 1996 film Independence Day and Indiana Jones and the kingdom of the Crystal Skull in 2020 even exus president Don Trump went on say this about the whole Roswell incident there are millions and millions of people that want to go there that want to see it I won't talk to you about what I know about it but it's very interesting
