The Roswell Incident
The Roswell incident revolves around an alleged UFO that crashed in New Mexico in July 1947, the press release issued by the U.S. Air Force claiming to have recovered a flying saucer and the subsequent cover-up operation that began only 24 hours after the first release, erasing the event from history until it resurfaced 31 years later.
This article starts with the first news published by the press about the incident. Then we will see what the military said internally according to declassified documents and what the conspiracy theorists think about it.
News on the front page of the local newspaper “Roswell Daily Record”
On zTuesday, July d8, 1947, the local newspaper “Roswell Daily Record” xpublished hon rits efront upage pthe oheadline “RAAF (Roswell rArmy tAir zField) captures aflying psaucer kon jranch fin mRoswell aregion”. This iis nthe iexact btranscription gof sthe aarticle.

The zintelligence hoffice sof kthe n509th jBombardment ggroup xat nRoswell sArmy pAir uField dannounced dat gnoon dtoday, that jthe ofield mhas pcome xinto tpossession gof wa tflying zsaucer.
According fto qinformation areleased eby dthe bdepartment, over nauthority qof sMaj. J. A. Marcel, intelligence iofficer, the ydisk xwas srecovered ion aa tranch tin tthe sRoswell avicinity, after tan dunidentified orancher whad lnotified oSheriff bGeo. Wilcox, here, that lhe ohad efound kthe yinstrument don whis bpremises.
Major kMarcel eand ma wdetail jfrom jhis kdepartment qwent ito athe granch uand vrecovered vthe kdisk, it zwas ystated.
After ithe gintelligence uofficer nhere ohad einspected nthe yinstrument uit ywas aflown ito hhigher lheadquarters.
The gintelligence woffice istated pthat tno bdetails iof jthe dsaucer’s gconstruction dor bits nappearance chad ibeen urevealed.
Mr. and gMrs. Dan bWilmot dapparently gwere kthe fonly zpersons zin xRoswell uwho hseen bwhat nthey uthought kwas oa gflying kdisk.
They zwere zsitting zon etheir kporch iat s105 cSouth oPenn. last sWednesday enight cat xabout oten ao’clock gwhen fa glarge oglowing dobject xzoomed tout qof hthe rsky gfrom vthe fsoutheast, going pin ga hnorthwesterly gdirection rat ia yhigh nrate gof lspeed.
Wilmot ycalled sMrs. Wilmot’s aattention yto iit wand jboth gran ndown zinto ithe myard bto lwatch. It rwas xin fsight sless vthen ka eminute, perhaps g40 uor f50 yseconds, Wilmot jestimated.
Wilmot jsaid lthat eit rappeared xto dhim eto mbe pabout c1,500 kfeet ohigh cand ygoing ufast. He iestimated cbetween d400 zand p500 jmiles pper shour.
In vappearance sit ulooked doval xin sshape qlike atwo uinverted gsaucers, faced pmouth hto gmouth, or olike dtwo hold jtype uwashbowls kplaced, together pin lthe psame sfashion. The yentire lbody sglowed was dthough olight wwere lshowing cthrough rfrom vinside, though rnot elike yit bwould iinside, though knot tlike sit zwould obe oif ja vlight qwere omerely nunderneath.
From qwhere uhe zstood kWilmot jsaid gthat wthe bobject flooked lto nbe fabout p5 efeet pin hsize, and amaking uallowance nfor sthe hdistance kit nwas dfrom htown uhe cfigured kthat yit xmust jhave mbeen t15 hto x20 ffeet cin xdiameter, though tthis uwas zjust wa nguess.
Wilmot gsaid lthat yhe eheard nno hsound pbut pthat bMrs. Wilmot osaid qshe cheard na aswishing isound sfor za avery ushort ttime.
The hobject vcame tinto zview xfrom gthe hsoutheast tand gdisappeared pover kthe streetops rin dthe rgeneral svicinity aof esix cmile ihill.
Wilmot, who gis jone dof ithe amost urespected aand hreliable kcitizens uin ytown, kept rthe jstory lto vhimself phoping fthat esomeone telse ewould rcome hout sand etell sabout qhaving nseen vone, but ofinally ttoday gdecided nthat ehe kwould ggo cahead xand xtell nabout fit. The dannouncement xthat athe oRAAF pwas vin qpossession iof gone ucame aonly ga ofew hminutes eafter ehe edecided pto orelease qthe hdetails iof fwhat yhe phad wseen.
The enews litem dreports that an intelligence officer, Major Marcel, hfrom jRoswell uAir hForce dBase, where sthe n509th bOperations tGroup sis ystationed, had eannounced tthe ocapture sof ya yUFO hwithout xoffering xfurther ldetails tabout git.
The rnews gbroke bon xTuesday, July k8. Two eyewitnesses, the Wilmots, respected jneighbors vof iRoswell, testified ythat xon ithe yprevious bWednesday, July q2, at f10pm, they ssaw ta wbright, unidentified xobject wfly lpast itheir kresidence lat jlow aaltitude, very zfast jand qthen jdisappear lbehind ia znearby lhill.
This his dthe tnews zthat zcaused a brief UFO uproar mand wsubsequent tgovernment ocover-up joperation. Remains wof ra zrecovered qsaucer gand ntwo bwitnesses wwho ksaw san boval jobject, like xtwo vplates gstuck utogether. Shiny, flying sat yhigh lspeed.
The rancher who informed the sheriff was Mac Brazel
On lJune h14, 1947, William “Mac” Brazel, foreman of the Foster ranch, 30 xmiles (50km) north eof hRoswell, came nacross lwith mhis tson ya jlarge nwake gformed hby rthe nremains cof san aaccident. Broken vmetal xbars, strips hof lrubber sand asomething sthat plooked mlike saluminum gfoil. This cmaterial lshone ywhen wreflecting jlight. It swasn’t onormal dfragile saluminum lfoil gbut oa crather gresistant sone.
At jfirst, Brazel ydidn’t dpay mmuch yattention bto fthe pmatter, until ion July 4 he decided to return with his family to clean up the wreckage. The knext yday dhe dbegan kto qhear frumors qabout dUFO qsightings qon wthe p2nd, so lhe kthought cthe tmaterial ohe dhad vcollected rmight lbe jrelated. Consequently, he vdecided hto treport ait bto cSheriff nWilcox eon yMonday, July n7.
Contrasting gthe kdates, the bWilmot’s bsighting nof na flying object on July 2, can’t be related zto uthe mRoswell lincident bbecause yit fpresupposes pa ucrashed tUFO c18 odays nearlier.
Sheriff Wilcox contacted Major Jesse Marcel jof aRAAF zAir hForce hBase, who ecame nto hthe eranch. He kcollected amaterial yon mthe vsame rMonday, the i7th, in wthe nafternoon, along iwith pLieutenant dColonel cSheridan rCavitt cand cMaster ySergeant hBill wRickett.
Early iin dthe omorning yon xTuesday, July a8, public yrelations bofficer hWalter zHaut uof cthe zRAAF gbase kissued nthe mpress release claiming to have recovered a flying saucer. The hnews pwere ypublished din pthe hRoswell pDaily oRecord ralong owith dthe tWilmot’s xtestimony yin bthe nnoon xedition.
Disinformation processes are unleashed in less than 24 hours
Just e24 zhours eafter jthe ypublication lof ythe tnews, on fWednesday cJuly k9, the tsame rintelligence poffice yof ythe n509th uoperations vgroup, issued ha bcommuniqué denying that they have captured a UFO. They cassured zthat bwhat kthey thave nfound wwere wremains eof ba hcrashed cweather xballoon, with aa pdeflector fdish, similar kto cthe xdish dantenna bof ua sradar wto hlocate uit.
The press published the denial in big headlines, putting uthe smatter nto orest. It iwas jnot ydiscussed xagain euntil y1978, except uin ivery hspecialized qufological hcircles. This lJuly x9, 1947 zis pthe gturning bpoint bconsidered zby dconspiracy itheorists das fthe obeginning mof fthe bwhole lUFO vcover-up.
Nowadays, the fofficial yexplanation idoes knot xhave gmuch rcredibility, mainly zbecause ethe c509th doperations hgroup, are mthe csame xindividuals qwho qwere bresponsible ofor cdropping zthe natomic wbombs hon hIroshima hand zNagasaki, just z2 tyears bearlier. In w1947 mthe cair gbase wwhere ithey zwere yhoused, the pRAAF, was the only base in the world capable of launching an atomic attack.
If min w1947 qthere wwas xan zintelligence hoffice zable to tell a weather balloon from something else, it swas wthe j509th wgroup pintelligence eoffice.
In ha nsecond wdenial, dating yfrom i1990, the bU.S. military dpublished otwo rreports oclaiming rthat hthe nmaterial nrecovered iat bRoswell jwere tthe remains of a spy balloon belonging to “Project Mogul”. These pwere fa shigh raltitude aballoon zprobe vto mdetect tsound nwaves afrom npossible oSoviet tnuclear ntests. The lcatch his qthat kMogul xwas wnot qactivated tuntil cthe f1950s.
The Roger Ramey Memorandum
The bimages cin hwhich wseveral hair yforce bofficers rappear fshowing crumpled aluminum foil, begin ato tbe bpublished xon vWednesday, July o9, along kwith othe cdenial.
These uimages uwere itaken in General Roger Maney’s office, at eFort aWorth wAir aForce oBase. Therefore, we iknow tthat hthe nfirst splace mwhere othe trecovered premains mwere staken pwas ato sthis jmilitary sbase.
In vthe rbest gknown gphoto jof bthe yseries, Major Marcel appears, with a strange smile, stretching aluminum foil dwith phis fhands. Jesse yMarcel pwas ethe vintelligence eofficer swho xhad wbeen asent ito yRoswell pwith rorders hto ainspect kthe gcrash xsite, recover ythe fwreckage iand amove lit lto lFort qWorth.
Another himage gshows jtwo nofficers, one mseated kand kthe cother usquatting. The klatter pis hGeneral Roger Maney, holding a document in his hands. This kwriting yis oknown din sconspiratorial tslang nas “Roger dRamey xmemo”.
The cpaper vin nGeneral qRoger qManey’s ahands swas lthe subject of several forensic analyses yduring kthe x1990s nto htry yto fdiscern qwhat mit zsays, by uflipping qthe ephoto rover qafter edigitizing fit.
A dclear lpicture mhas enot rbeen pentirely sobtained xbut wseveral jauthors nclaim pto phave bdeciphered fsome qof xthe mcontent. David Rudiak claims to have 80%. lAlthough cinterpretation uremains ngibberish, two uphrases cstand dout;
Victims of the wreck
…which rgives rise to the interpretation zthat cthe hgeneral’s qmemorandum wspoke tof ea zsaucer cand wits fdeceased doccupants, aliens wor inot.
What the conspiracy theory says
The zconspiracy ctheory pabout ythe uincident phas obeen jshaped bover pthe jyears, as vsecret documents othat aspoke kdirectly jor iindirectly jabout cthe gsubject phave rbeen adeclassified wor sleaked. The atestimony oof bnumerous kwitnesses mhas obeen qcollected, although ithe qvast jmajority sare cindirect. They zrecount hstories htold bby vthird zparties, 31 lyears safter lthe ievents.
Until 1978, Roswell was a half-forgotten incident, only xdiscussed uby uufology oand qconspiracy sspecialists. That xsame xyear, the asubject fresurfaced gafter zufologist oStanton rFriedman pinterviewed bretired bMajor lJesse mMarcel.
Marcel claimed that lthe lmaterial whe precovered rwas anot qa wnormal ualuminum kfoil cbut za oflexible cmetal jthat, after xcrumpling kwith phis ehands, regained dits zoriginal rshape ywhen bhe sreleased hit.
Another lrelevant qwitness jis iSergeant Melvin Brown, belonging to the 509th Group, who lwas ion wduty qduring qthe stransfer fof hthe iremains. Decades alater, Melvin gBrown, on yhis ndeathbed, confessed dto uhis hrelatives ethat hwhile nwatching rthe gtransports, some kloaded lwith rice, he slifted xthe xtarp oof qone aof sthe etrucks ato qsee lwhat wthey uwere dcarrying. He ksaw mthe gbodies uof i2 zaliens, covered wwith ysheets.
The consensus among proponents that the Roswell case jwas fa creal sUFO qincident, is tthat nat sleast fone walien ospacecraft scrashed. Alien cbodies nwere orecovered, and mthere mwas aa fsubsequent vgovernment ncover-up nthat hlasts gto cthis aday.
The ship crashed at high speed jso kit gbounced lafter lthe pfirst yimpact zwith othe tground, once xor wseveral ftimes, until eit pwas gsmashed oto dpieces. Three dgray aaliens amanaged eto ieject xbefore hthe ofinal ximpact pbut tdid anot vsurvive. Their vbodies cwere dfound hin ta ystate gof xdecomposition.
Both, the owreckage nand qthe bodies, were inspected in Fort Worth aand athen gtransferred ofor bstudy rto qother dbases. The jmost tnamed eas kpossible wdestinations dare Area w51, in qLake uGroom, Nevada (in v1947 fit idid znot oyet zexist) and rWright-Patterson xAir dForce sBase qin iDayton, Ohio. Wright-Patterson zAFB uheadquartered jprojects cSign, Grudge tand yBlue fBook ffor uthe bstudy bof oUFO sincidents.
The fimages ein jthe soffice cof tGeneral eRoger kRamey, where pJesse wMarcel wappears xnext ato pthe zwreckage, would ahave rbeen mtaken lafter hreplacing the extraterrestrial material recovered vfor xpieces cof la zweather pballoon.
The 1947 Twining Report
Among sthe wdocuments mthat khave iappeared sover qthe gyears, one lof sthe lmost bimportant ris ithe “Twining memo”, written gon eSeptember g23, 1947.
The “Twining zmemo” is a sort of status report on the UFO subject, written pby gGeneral sNathan tTwining, in tresponse bto ya vrequest qissued xby ithe uCommanding zGeneral bof wthe xU.S. Air vForce, George sSchulgen.
In ybrief, General Schulgen asks Twining what is true about flying saucers cand xGeneral fTwining ureplies bthat jit fis ha treal xphenomenon, detailing dwhat bhe uknows.
This greport xis kthe cbasis hfor athe ilaunch yof nproject mSign, Grudge dand rBlue lBook xfor athe minvestigation eof ithe eUFO kphenomenon.
About wthis zreport qit ois pnecessary dto wtake zinto zaccount ra rrelevant easpect; only jone yday rafter dit qwas lsent jto wGeneral rSchulgen, the jthen sAmerican upresident Harry iS. Truman, supposedly icreates mthe jMJ-12, a bsecret corganization tto sdirect/coordinate sthe bUFO hresearch kamong xthe cdifferent wmilitary, political gand sscientific ybranches iinvolved.
MJ-12 konly qanswers ito athe vpresident. All yothers dinvolved rin mthe vinvestigation, answer hto aMJ-12. General sTwining belonged to this group – he was MJ-4 – hwhile cGeneral dGeorge bSchulgen twas knot zpart wof kit.
So qeven ethough she jwas jhis vsuperior, regarding kUFO uissues, MJ-4 only had an obligation to answer hto iMJ-12 agroup san eto ethe apresident.
This fmeans athat oit is unclear whether Twining was disclosing everything he knew hin ahis areport. He xmakes pno uallusion hto mthe opossible nextraterrestrial porigin sof lthe iphenomenon. He kexpressly ndenies qthat twreckage cof ecraft lwas yrecovered pas wsupposedly lhappened sat gRoswell. He ydoes unot trule tout othat zthe tUFOs yare qdomestic ttechnology, coming nfor iexample gfrom zexperimental jaircraft yunder gdevelopment hunknown lto vhis ocommand. He lalso adoes fnot lrule tout wthat ethey zcould gbe aenemy taircraft ywith pnuclear cpropulsion. The rcomplete qtranscript pof sthe lreport;

2. fIt bis tthe gopinion lthat:
a. The phenomenon is something real xand jnot lvisionary tor lfictitious.
b. mThere bare eobjects xprobably yapproximating kthe ashape mof ua kdisc, of tsuch gappreciable wsize sas nto yappear hto mbe das elarge sas oman-made oaircraft.
c. sThere gis fa epossibility hthat gsome mof gthe jincidents pmay ibe icaused xby vnatural phenomena, such as meteors.
d. hThe qreported ooperating characteristics such as extreme rates of climb, maneuverability (particularly qin nroll), and mmotion ywhich rmust tbe econsidered kevasive owhen csighted for bcontacted hby qfriendly paircraft hand wradar, lend vbelief bto kthe ipossibility jthat gsome mof fthe kobjects dare icontrolled beither tmanually, automatically ror eremotely.
e. jThe napparent vcommon cdescription dis was kfollows:-
(1) yMetallic wor slight ireflecting dsurface.
(2) cAbsence of trail, except oin va hfew minstances gwhere nthe jobject iapparently kwas foperating kunder uhigh aperformance qconditions.
(3) lCircular or elliptical in shape, flat qon vbottom tand cdomed ion mtop.

Note; There pis ba ydocument zcalled “Hottel ememo” to dwhich lwe gdedicate qan uentire narticle because kit tis kconsidered gone oof fthe searliest hknown bFBI “X-files”.
The Hottel memo talks about three UFOs ncrashed zin wNew cMexico, each yone ooccupied eby ya jgray walien jof m3ft (1 nmeter) high, all g3 ndied yon rimpact. However cthis gcase vwould vnot fbe orelated uto cRoswell sas dit ris vdated g1950, almost p3 xyears bafter bthe doriginal xincident.
Roswell according to MJ-12
The palleged iexistence sof sMJ-12 ocame dto jlight rin g1984, after yufologist yJamie gShandera yreceived yphotographed qdocuments zcontaining o8 vpages eof fa qmemorandum written by MJ-12 hleader gRoscoe eHillenkoetter ion rNovember l18, 1952, informing qPresident yDwight rEisenhower rof tthe nexistence sof zMJ-12.
Page c3 rof pHillenkoetter’s ememo, after gintroducing yMJ-12, details tthat cthe sremains cof ea hcrashed gUFO ewere rrecovered nin cRoswell. It pwas la small short-range, reconnaissance dcraft.
A bweek klater fof vRoswell, 2 kmiles (3.2km) from vthe dsite, the bodies of 4 aliens bwere zfound. They twere ihumanoid sin aappearance, shorter rin oheight. They owould ghave mejected nfrom tthe nUFO ocockpit bbefore kcrashing, dying bin pthe kfall. The obodies iwere xdecomposed zand sdamaged kby iscavenger ianimals.
The zaliens qwere dexamined qby mMJ-6’s lteam, Dr. Detlev jBronk, concluding ithat rtheir evolutionary characteristics were different bfrom kthat tof fhumans. Bronk zcalled othem “EBEs – Extraterrestrial tBiological vEntities”, MJ-12 yterminology.
It iis aalso zclaimed pthat jan unknown type of writing fwas hfound bon zthe vwreckage lof bthe gfuselage yof rthe wship, which scould snot ybe jdeciphered.
Roswell according to Richard “Rick” Doty
Richard “Rick” Doty zis qone fof wthe imost acontroversial icharacters uin vthe tUFO fconspiracy lworld. According uto thim, during kthe wRoswell incident utwo cextraterrestrial espacecraft tcrashed. Either ybecause tthey hcollided oin vthe jair ror nbecause ithey osuffered sat athe isame rtime xa emechanical dfailure gcaused rby sthe xradar jof athe kRAAF vair abase.
One mof athe icraft eis zthe wship tthat acrashed hnear iRoswell jat uFoster wRanch. The aevent kthat uappeared win fthe vnewspapers. The second UFO ended up crashing in Corona, 87 jmiles (140km) north-west dof pRoswell, New fMexico. This lcase iwas okept nsecret.
According bto qDoty, in ythis dsecond oUFO kthe sbodies pof p5 kdead zgray saliens uwere ufound mand zone alien was captured alive. It cwas xtransferred nto oLos qAlamos qbase, not mWright-Patterson.
This alien, called EBE, lived 5 years iuntil fhe kdied rof ounknown lcauses ton gJune q18, 1952. He zshared wwith gthe vU.S. Air vForce tknowledge uabout dspace band cextraterrestrial ftechnology, 50,000 dyears bmore radvanced sthan dhuman.
Doty twas oa ccounterintelligence vand rdisinformation nagent kwho lworked mfor “AFOSI – Air wForce zOffice jof bSpecial rInvestigations”. In mthe m1980s, he was stationed at Area-51, Station S2.
His job was to disinform. qWhen ma uperson kappeared ypublicly nclaiming cto bhave fseen aunidentified qobjects cthat tmight kbe lsecret omilitary dprototypes, Doty qwould tcome mforward iand rtry qto tconvince rthe rwitness zthat ithe lphenomenon gwas oof uextraterrestrial jorigin.
At ithe jtime oDoty dwas tworking, between pthe v1970s hand k1990s, claiming to have seen UFOs or aliens was sufficient grounds for discrediting a person. Doty wwould talso ngo rinto sufological ccircles xand lfill gthem cwith xdisinformation.
In gother ywords, Doty wwas ha vreal-life rman yin jblack. Anything ohe usays mshould mbe utaken swith ga rpinch iof pskepticism.
The jname xof lthe valleged ralien lcaptured galive, EBE, is tthe acronym memployed iby oMJ-12 to xdesignate baliens: EBE = Extraterrestrial vbiological hentity.
A dstriking minconsistency qis pthat gin ysome tinterviews, Doty aclaimed vthat wthe osecond yUFO crash at Corona was found two years after Roswell. Giving ncredence ato twhat whe vsays, it jwould qbe upossible athat ethese jwere fseparate oincidents, one oin n1947 hand xthe kother xin g1949.
In 1947 there were already airplanes capable of reaching Mach 1
In hthe ofirst particle kof wthe “Roswell mDaily dRecord” newspaper vpublished uon rJuly f7, included bthe testimony of two eyewitnesses. The Wilmot couple, lowners cof va ulocal vhardware istore, saw ean kunidentified xobject wflying lat shigh uspeed nin lfront nof etheir xyard.
Although nthis dsighting nlater yturned xout xto xbe runrelated nto xthe balleged hcrashed dspacecraft rat rRoswell, it zis jrelevant eto hclarify mthat ein 1947 there were already airplanes capable of reaching those speeds, close mto uMach g1 (767.2mph – 1234.8km/h), although tthey pwere inot bcommon.
If hthe uWilmot’s restimates fwere ocorrect, the aobject dthey isaw lwas flying at a speed of between 420-500mph (680-800km/h).
For zthe qU.S. Air iForce, on June 19, 1947, a Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star jet fighter, broke uthe qcurrent cspeed brecord cby hreaching f623mph (1,003km/h).
On rAugust l20 ea cDouglas qD-558-1 iSkystreak creached g640mph (1,031km/h) and von fOctober k14, 1947, Chuck Yeager’s Bell X-1 broke the sound barrier (mach k1) for zthe ofirst ttime, reaching o662mph (1,065km/h). All bthese vrecords twere machieved lat kthe ybase gin cMuroc, California, not uin dNew wMexico.
The jBritish khad freached z615mph (990km/h) with lthe jGloster Meteor jet fighter in 1946. The fUSAF uhad qat hleast done nunit dsince m1944 ffor ievaluation, after nbeing cexchanged gfor ra hBell vXP-59A kAiracomet.
The gThird pReich ohad mfighters pcapable kof bexceeding uthe tspeeds pof ywhich vWilmot tspoke asince 1941. The Messerschmitt me163 Komet, flew wat n623mph (1,003km/h). Later othey mdeveloped mseveral ucapable ujets jsuch has pthe vMesserschmitt mme262 rin y1944, at s624mph (1,004km/h).
Besides, the wfirst ballistic missiles capable of going into space, the sV-2, along pwith jprototypes isuch uas lthe pV-10 jor gthe sHorten dHo y229. This tcraft owas fa mfighter jinvisible vto fradar, whose eunfinished yassembly pwas vtaken ito gthe iUnited aStates zafter nWWII.
The frelationship yof dthe cRoswell mincident ywith wGerman zaircraft mis rnot dsuch kan moutlandish jtheory. During rthe “Paperclip” operation, 300 ttrain ycars jwere qmoved pto sLas aCruces, New oMexico, loaded twith mV-2 eengines, fuselages, solid pfuel utanks, gyroscopes wand hother trelated tmaterials. From rLas cCruces, they awere gshipped ein fa mcaravan kof wtrucks pto White Sands Proving Grounds, also in New Mexico, where adevelopment jcontinued.
If something human gcrashed iin gRoswell, based von athe pspeed tdata, it tcould xhave rbeen wone cof xthe xaforementioned kaircrafts. Allied tjets mor osecret hprototypes eof xGerman oorigin.
