The Roswell Incident
The people of the world have always had a mysterious belief that Earth wasn't the only
planet in the universe that supported life. This belief dates back to ancient times when heavenly
and demonic stories were told of gods who strode across the skies on their golden chariots. Tales
as far fetched as Zeus who threw lightening bolts from his fingertips to stories as credible as the
American Indian's Cachinas, who supposedly taught them to farm and saved them from numerous
disasters. The Egyptians, who built their mammoth pyramids with only the use of man power,
used hieroglyphics. These same hieroglyphics have been unofficially documented as being similar
to symbols found on unidentified aircraft wreckage found in several incidences over the past fifty
years (Montgomery 225-32, 236-37). Are these stories all mere coincidence? Some researchers
think not and have continued to unveil new evidence that is believably true. Recently, new facts
have been brought up on the most documented UFO (unidentified flying object) sighting of all
time: the Roswell Incident.
The Roswell Incident is a UFO crash that occurred at 11:30 p.m. on July 4th, 1947 in
Roswell, New Mexico (Randal 10). Mac Brazel, a local New Mexico rancher, discovered a
considerable amount of unusual debris while riding out on horseback early in the morning to
check his sheep after a night of intense thunderstorms. He reported to Sheriff George Wilcox
after driving into Roswell, that the aircraft had created a shallow gouge several hundred feet long
and was scattered over a large area. Sheriff Wilcox then notified authorities at the Roswell Army
Air Field and with the assistance of his deputies, proceeded to investigate the matter. Shortly
after the 509th Bomb Group arrived from their station 35 miles away (Walker 38), they closed off
the area for a number of days and retrieved the wreckage. The debris was initially taken to
Roswell Army Air Field and eventually flown to Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio (Jeffrey). Before
the military could intervene, the event had already been witnessed by more than one-hundred
people. Local police, fire squad, and curious members of the Roswell community make up these
people. A lot of them were part of the initial recovery team and are now telling their stories that
have been bottled up for nearly a half of a century (Randal 11).
According to one unnamed witness of the Roswell recovery team,
The crash site was littered with pieces
