1947 Roswell Incident
1947 Roswell Incident

On a hot summer morning on July 3, 1947, near Roswell New Mexico something very strange occurred. Rancher, Mac Brazel witnessed it and found a very strange object in his sheep pasture. The object was glossy and seemed to have random, glossy chunks of weird, plastic and metal pieces. Unsure of the object, he called the sheriff. This sheriff had no clue what the object was. So the sheriff called the Roswell Army Air Force (RAAF) base. The soldiers took all the debris and every scrap in the area and took it away in large armored trucks. The same week, on July 8, 1947, the “RAAF Captures Flying Saucer on Ranch in Roswell Region" was the top story in the Roswell Daily Record news paper. The paper became well known and many people were aware of the crash. There was a picture of it too. The very next day, July 9, an air force official made a statement that the "flying saucer" was really just a weather balloon. To the people, this was defiantly no weather balloon. Some people were sure it was certainly not a weather balloon, that it was not even from earth. The military took Mac Brazel into custody for about a week, during which time he was seen on the streets of Roswell with a military escort. His behavior aroused the curiosity of friends when he passed them without any sign of recognition. Following this period of detention, Brazel discarded his initial story As it turned out, the army did in fact know more about the "flying saucer" then what was being told to the public. According to the U.S. military, the debris in Brazel’s field outside Roswell actually belonged to Project Mogul. Project Mogul was a top-secret atomic espionage project at New Mexico’s Alamogordo Air Field. Because the project was highly classified, no one at the Roswell Army Air Field even knew that it existed. so they had no idea what to make out of what Mac Brazel had found on his ranch. There were many eye-witness reports of alien creatures lying next to

    Another thing to think about is the size of the debris itself. The debris found by Mac Brazel spead across approximately 15 acres of land. It would take four of the Project Mogul balloon arrays to crash and shred in the same general area in order to cover 15 acres of space. This makes it very improbably that the debris outside of Roswell was, in fact, a weather balloon or, any relative of a weather…

    The Lindbergh Baby Case

    On a cold, rainy night in March 1932, late in the evening, a baby by the name of Charles Lindbergh, Jr., was snatched from the nursery of their home in Hopewell, New Jersey. The kidnappers left a small, white envelope on a radiator case near the nursery window. An investigation by the Police outside the house turned up a broken homemade extension ladder. The side rails of the middle section of the ladder were split, indicating that the ladder broke when the kidnapper came down the ladder with the baby. What was also discovered were a chisel and two (2) different sets of footprints that lead away from the house in a southeastern direction towards some car tracks. By the next morning the news of the kidnapping had been broadcasted to the world, and reporters, camera men, bystanders, and souvenir hunters flocked over the Lindbergh estate. If there were any evidence not already taken by the police, it was lost in the aftermath (Johnson, 2007).…

    The cunning space agency that has a long line of conspiracy theories surrounding it may be telling the truth this time. But they may be lying about the balloons destination. Maybe it isn’t a weather balloon at all. NASA may be sending this super high-tech bag full of air to space. With UFO enthusiasts spending every waking hour watching live feeds from the ISS, it would be hard to pass any secret alien messages. The “weather balloon” could be headed for space. It could be some UFO linkup device that aliens will intercept in space and than send it back to Earth. From space. It may sound insane. But we should all ask ourselves why NASA is being so open about this project?…

    The most appealing and controversial mysteries that has been around for centuries are UFOs. A UFO is an unidentified flying object seen in the sky that is believed to have no orthodox scientific explanation that can be found. The case of the Phoenix Lights is one of the intriguing and controversial UFO sightings on records. On the evening of March 13, 1997, thousands of people were outside waiting to see the spectacular Hale-Bopp Comet, until thousands of eyewitnesses reportedly seeing mysterious dots of lights spotted in the sky hovering over Phoenix, Arizona as the Hale-Bopp Comet passed over the sky. Thousands of eyewitnesses stated to have seen what is believed to be bright dots of lights that is a spacecraft formed into a V-shape. With thousands of reports of seeing what is believed to be a UFO spacecraft, the government quickly denied that the Phoenix Lights was the appearance of extraterrestrial. Instead, the United States Air Force stated that the lights were flares that…

    Area 51 Conspiracy Theory

    • 1037 Words
    • 5 Pages

    But to the reluctance of the government to address the claims of extraterrestrial activity, the conspiracy theories grew popular through the 1950s to the present. A poll showed that 57% of U.S. citizens believe that UFOs are real, therefore, beliefs in UFOs will not quickly dissipate. But recent evidence and personal accounts provide logical arguments with support to show that the claims of extraterrestrial interactions with the U.S. government in Area 51 is not true. Rather the lights and unidentified flying objects reported by people near Groom Lake were prototype aircraft that were being designed to aid the U.S. in the Cold War against the Soviet Union. The reports of UFOs only happened after the testing of experimental aircraft throughout the 1950s and 1960s, thus the correlation between the testing of the prototype planes and reports of UFOs verify that it was the aircraft tested by the U.S., not aliens flying over Area 51. The testimony by Robert Lazar is contested by retired service members who worked in Area 51 and Lazar’s questionable credibility. While there is no proof to support the conspiracy theories surrounding Area 51, people still believe and argue that the government has fabricated stories and that aliens do exist. But with no tangible…

    The American court would not take their testimony as real evidence because only seven out of the hundreds of witnesses claimed to have seen the debris or alien. Some of the people who have claimed to have seen the aliens seem to have made false comments which were by second-hand sources. Others made claims of sightings on their deathbed but they were thought to be elderly confused (Rowell 1947 Incident Retrieval). There may have been many people to make assumptions on what they saw but there was no solid proof or high quality…

    In addition to having numerous stories released by the military, it was also said that the military bribed the Army officers. Some Army officers have spoken out about the bribery specifically Major Jesse A. Marcel. "Securing the crash site at the time of the Roswell incident, however, Marcel was not allowed to tell anyone this because the army [ordered] everyone to keep quiet about the event" ("The Roswell Incident" 1). Why did the military make everybody keep the crash a secret even though that just makes them look even more suspicious? Is it possible they were trying to protect our beloved planet from extraterrestrial life or is it because aliens don’t exist. If the troops wanted to keep the crash a secret, why did they have people guard the site to keep everyone away. People are persistent and will just get more curious, especially in a small town like Roswell. The military had a bunch of airfield officers stand around the crash site to keep the area secure. A group of military officers on a ranch really stands out, were they worried people would sneak into the crash site or that more aliens were coming back to get the others and the…

    In Ashland, Nebraska, on December 3, 1967, Herbert Schirmer, a 22 years young patrolman, was making his usual rounds. He had checked the Ashland Sales Barn, and several gas stations along Highway 6 when he noticed what he thought were red lights on top of a large truck. He had just passed through the intersection of Highways 6 and 63 at about 2:00 AM.He drove the short distance down 63 and stopped with his headlights shining on the object. According to Schirmer, the object was definitely not a truck. The red lights that he had seen were blinking through the oval portholes of a metallic, oval-shaped object that was hovering at a height of about eight feet above the road's surface.The object appeared to have a polished, aluminum surface and had a sort of walk around it. It had a structure underneath, like a landing gear.As he watched, the object rose into the air with flames coming from underneath. It passed almost directly over Schirmer's patrol car, then quickly shot out of sight.Schirmer returned to the police station, noting that it was now 3:00 AM., which surprised him because he felt that only ten minutes had passed. At the station, he made this entry into his logbook:"Saw a flying saucer at the junction of highways 6 and 63. Believe it or not!"Afterward, Schirmer developed a red welt on his neck, a headache, and he began to feel ill. Word of Schirmer's sighting was related to the Condon Commission at the University of Colorado, which investigated UFO reports.Schirmer was asked to come to Boulder, Colorado. At Boulder, on February 13, 1968, he was hypnotized by psychologist Dr. Leo Sprinkle of the University of Wyoming.Under hypnosis, Schirmer recalled that, after he stopped his car near the object, the engine died and his radio went silent. A white object emerged from the craft and seemed to communicate mentally with him, preventing him from drawing his gun as he was want to do.After the hypnotic session had…

    On 5 December 1945, five Navy Avenger bombers left the plane staton at Fort Launderdale. They were on a training mission for the day to practice bombing but what they didn 't know was that they we 're headed straight for the bermuda triangle. At 3:50pm a radio transmission was overheard which said "I don 't know where we are. We must have got lost after that last turn." Later on there was another message which said that the compasses were broken and that they still had no idea of where they were. Night came and all contact with the bombers were lost. At 6:20pm the first rescue plane went out in search of the missing aircrafts. At 7:50 there was another radio transmition although not from the bombers. It was from a ship that had reported seeing an "enormous sheet of fire" from a nearby explosion. They reported drifting through oil but did not find any remains of anything. The Navy Avenger bombers were never found.…
