    In early July of 1947, most likely around July 4th or 5th, something crashed to the Earth in the high desert of eastern New Mexico (Carey & SChmitt, 2009). Mac Brazel, a ranch hand on the J.B. Foster ranch, went to check on his sheep one morning after a series of severe thunderstorms. He was concerned about the wellbeing of his cattle because he heard a very loud explosion the night before during the storm. Upon riding out to the pastures, Brazel discovered a huge amount of strange debris scattered across the fields. Not knowing what this strange debris was, Brazel gathered some of it and showed it to his friends…

    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…

    Every question that is asked is expected to have an answer, and soon. As human beings, anticipating a response is unbearable. Area 51 has and continues to spark a multiplicity of fascinating inquiry, many left for the questionee to decide on his or her own. The idea of associating Area 51 with extraterrestrials is a fault in the government’s security. The allowance for the media to distribute false evidence is a hoax. Deferring people from actual activities going on at Area 51 will only raise curiosity.…

    Pros And Cons Of Area 51

    Head of NASA, Charles Bolden states that extra-terrestrial life must exist, but there is none hidden in Area 51. Area 51 is a site in the Nevada desert of America that tests aircraft and weapon technology such as the U-2 spy plane. Countless conspiracy theories have derived from Area 51 due to the secretiveness of the US government. An example of which is the apparent hiding of extra-terrestrial bodies recovered from the supposed UFO crash in Roswell, 1947. Due to a lack of evidence and excessive amount of conspiracies, it is unreasonable to believe that Area 51 is housing extra-terrestrials (The Telegraph, 2015). Society should be against the belief of Area 51 housing aliens because it is based on conspiracy theories and the American government…

    The air force would drop dummies near New Mexico to test ways for the pilots to resist a fall from very high altitudes. People thought that the dummies that were being dropped by the air force looked a lot like aliens. This was when people started believing that the air force was involved with extraterrestrial life. Many people “were convinced that the dummies were actually extraterrestrial creatures who were being kidnapped and experimented on by the government scientist” (Roswell 3).…

    Research Paper On Roswell

    • 1374 Words
    • 6 Pages

    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…

    Star Dust (registration G-AGWH) was a British South American Airways (BSAA) Avro Lancastrian airliner which crashed into Mount Tupungato, in the Argentine Andes on 2 August 1947 during a flight from Buenos Aires to Santiago, Chile. A comprehensive search of a wide area (including what is now known to have been the crash site) was fruitless, and the fate of the aircraft and occupants remained unknown for over 50 years. An investigation in 2000 determined the crash was caused by weather-related factors,[1][2] but until then speculation included theories of international intrigue, intercorporate sabotage and even abduction by aliens.…
