The Roswell Incident: Conspiracy or Cockamamie? A closer look at Project Mogul. 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.

According to several witnesses, there was a strange foil type metal that when bent or crinkled, would resume its original shape. Some people said that it was almost fluid like in the way that it retracted back to its original form.

Also found, were strange metal beams that had some kind of undecipherable hieroglyphics written on them, in a purple “ink,” rubber strips, and some kind of paper like substance. How could these things be identified as a mere weather balloon? 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
