The Roswell incident, or simply "Roswell" was the incident in 1947 where a "military balloon" was recovered according to newspapers by Roswell Air Field personnel. Questions remain about witnesses reports and what the military reported to be a "flying disc recovered".[1][2]
Official Narrative
The US Army reported that a "flying disc" was recovered in Roswell. Other theories claimed that debris from an alien spaceship had been covered up by the government. The United States Air Force published a report that said it was a top secret nuclear test surveillance balloon from Project Mogul, which was in turn linked to Area 51.[3]
Russia?
Investigative journalist Annie Jacobsen suggested in a book Area 51 that the Soviet Union caused up the Roswell UFO incident in 1947 by sending flying disks into New Mexico with child-size aviators on board, as a warning that they could spark a UFO panic if they wanted to. Jacobsen based her report on a source that said he was an engineer with the company EG&G at Area 51 that he studied the remnants of the Roswell crash in 1951, along with four other EG&G engineers, and came to that conclusion.[4]
Witnesses
The official story explaining the debris as part of Cold War spy balloons would be strange given the fact several intelligence officers were allowed to give that official explanation, seemingly violating top secret protocol from the US government. Some of these officers, including US Air Force Major Jesse Marcel later explained that this explanation was bogus and that they confided in private the crash seemed from extraterrestrial origin.[5]
