One of the most famous UFO reports ever reported was the Roswell, New Mexico case. Roswell has been described as one of the most intensively investigated UFO reports to date, and it is still being studied today. The official date that it was recorded on is July 8, 1947 in Lincoln County, New Mexico. Considering that the Roswell case is so well-known, there are scientists and researchers all over the world that have their own theories about what all really happened in Roswell, New Mexico. There are many theories that give their own facts, beliefs, and why, …show more content…
Churchill lived in Chicago, Illinois until she decided to move to Roswell, New Mexico in December of 1994. She decided to move there to learn more about their community and to hear all of the stories they had obtained throughout the years. Now, Churchill did not know whether to believe in the story of Roswell, New Mexico or not. Furthermore, as soon as she arrived, she found out that almost all of the Roswell community highly believes in UFOs. After having lived in Roswell for years now, Churchill has heard of all kinds of different stories and theories behind what people really believe to what happened in the Roswell incident. It is so crazy that there are people who live in that area of New Mexico to just wait for an opportunity to see a real UFO for themselves. Now that they might seem as a little crazy or even psychotic, the people of Roswell have so much heart and belief in themselves. They are so proud of all of this, that they even consider themselves to be the nation’s UFO capital and have their own town’s UFO museum (Churchill, Skeptical …show more content…
military. It reveals of what is believed to be the alleged discovery and cover-up of UFO wreckage in Roswell. The U.S. military is said to have quickly covered up the affair, known as the Roswell incident, and continues to cover it in extreme secrecy to this day. Major Jesse Marcel, with General Roger Ramey there as well, held a press conference and announced it was all just a weather balloon and nothing else. The press conference made most reporters believe that the UFO mystery had been solved and that there was no extraterrestrial spacecraft involved. There were others that questioned Major Marcel because he claimed that he attended multiple universities, but Korff checked with those universities and they said he either did not finish or never went there at all. This information makes Marcel seem shady by itself, but there was also a time when he claimed he flew the wreckage to an Air Force Base in Carswell, Texas. Even though the press conference mostly worked, there were still many die-hard believers of what they saw. For example when Korff says, “In the community, over the years they have heard of ‘dozens’ or even ‘hundreds of eye-witnesses’ to see the alleged UFO crash near Roswell”, it lets the reader know that the citizens living in Roswell just ignored the military press conference (Skeptical
...ary knew about the crash and that they were going to transport the wreckage to another military base. Many eyewitness accounts with similar details eliminate the possibility of merely a single person making up the entire event. The government’s contradictory reports demonstrate that their knowledge of the incident is dynamic and dependent on how they want the people to react. This matter is important because it raises the possibility that if the government is hiding information from the public about a spacecraft accident, there may be other incidents where the government is concealing the truth from the public. Despite the government’s best attempts to cover up the Roswell incident, eyewitness accounts from the common person validate the idea that an unidentified flying object crashed in Roswell, New Mexico and eternally changed the lives of several people.
The mass hysteria of UFOs and the Salem Witch Trials share many similarities between each other. Some that were stated were the fact that people claim that they have witnessed UFOs or witnessed a Witch. These claims also lead to the similarities of how people were split in both topics, never agreeing to one side of the hysteria. A difference was also expressed in this paper saying that in the Trials people died compared to UFO sightings where no one died related to them. Overall they share many similarities and differences and there are many more that can be

The V-shaped object that appeared in the sky that night over Phoenix has left every UFO fanatic and scientist in awe. There is no real explanation for the bright lights that took the shape of a huge boomerang from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Many have tried to explain what no one can, but for every scenario, there is an equally crazy explanation that proves it to be false. To this day, there is still no explanation that is completely rock-solid and can explain this extremely odd occurrence. Have the inhabitants of Phoenix been the victim of a huge hoax, or have the people been witness to one of the most conclusive UFO sightings in history?
Only one of the prints taken, had a match to a known person- a police officer. In relation to the outsole shoe impression found in the mud, there was never anything officially done with it or a cast made of it which could have played a vital role in finding the perpetrator. There was also severe lack in the forensic archaeological/anthropological standpoint. When looking for the victim and the actual discovery of the body, there were many key steps that were missed. For instance, what search methods were used in locating possible remains? The deceased’s body was located just two miles from the Lindbergh estate, so how is it possible that a search team never came across it? Once the body was found, the skull had a hole in it and some of the body parts were missing (1). While the body was extracted, there was never investigation into the soil from which the body was found, or where the missing remains may have been. The body was later identified as being that of Charles Lindbergh III based on the size and style of the accompanying garments (3). The fact that this was the only confirmation of identification astounds me. Given technology was not as advanced as it is today, I feel as if there should have been some other form of positive ID. In retrospect, a
...ed Forces still to this day claim that the alleged "UFO" that was recovered was an experimental high-altitude surveillance balloon. This "balloon" was said to be part of the previously classified program, Mogul. The main UFO conspiracy states that an alien space craft was found, the occupants were captured, and the government started a massive cover up, Mogul being one of them.
This is a common theory because there have been reported sights of unknown objects flying over Area 51 several different times. There have also been accounts of mysterious beams of light that beam through the sky that stem from area 51 and are believed to be tied to exterrestrials. Many people associate Area 51 with aliens, they believe that aliens are kept there.One of the most popular theories is that Area 51 holds the remains of Ufos and Aliens that have crash-landed on earth. In 1947, Kenneth Arnold reported seeing nine flying objects in aV formation while he was flying his plane over Washington. He said that the objects were circular saucers and he had never saw anything like them. One month later an unidentified flying object crashed near Roswell, New Mexico. The Roswell Army Airfield held a press conference stating that they had recovered the remains from the flying saucer. The army quickly tried to retract that statement to avoid controversy but it was too late. Conspiracy Theorist believe that the remains of this crash included an alien spacecraft and a body. They think these remains were shipped to Area 51 for examination and study. Area 51 is commonly known to store the remains of ufo crashes on earth and keep them out of the public's
Whether or not the Roswell incident truly involved a UFO remains unclear. How ever, the military cover-up only served to fuel the fire of our imaginations. Interest continues to grow, as questions remain unanswered. Even Bill Clinton has been quoted as saying “…If the United States Air Force did recover alien bodies, they didn’t tell me about it either, and I want to know”(qtd. in Wright 105).
...e period. Others, however, remains persistent that there are real UFO’s inside the gates of Area 51 and they are trying to prevent the public from finding out. No matter what opinion you have about the activities going on inside Area 51 it will most likely never be fully known.
Chronologically the North Korean Nuclear Program stems from the early 1950s; however, the program has its deeper origin back in 1989 during the conclusion of the Cold-War era. The year 1989 marked the deterioration of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) as the primary financial supporter of North Korea. The North Korean nuclear program can be simplified into approximately four different phases over time; moreover, the chronologies of these four main phases predominantly address the unresolved tension between the United States of America and North Korea. This timeline also involves the influences of the other participants of the Six-Party Talks (which comprises of and is not limited to China, Russia, South Korea, and Japan). From 1956 to 1980 phase one was first and foremost the preparation and gathering of scientific knowledge to advance nuclear measures. Then from 1980 to 1994 phase two dealt with the progression and subsequent disruption of North Korea’s national plutonium manufacturing program. The years 1994 to 2002, or phase three, are the overlapping periods of the nuclear freeze that halted domestic production of radioactive material for military purposes. Finally phase four (from early 2002 to current times) covers the present concerns for North Korea returning to nuclear programs.
The police found very evident proof within Bruno Hauptmann. He had missing wood that matched the ladder and lots of Lindbergh’s ransom money. He was an obvious suspect, but as shown, he had others to help him. Not a long time ago modern investigators found that John Knoll was just as obvious of a suspect as Hauptmann. He looked just like Cemetery John and suddenly seemed to have a lot of money after the kidnapping. He also mysteriously left the U.S. on the day Hauptmann was sentenced of killing the baby. And of course, Violet Sharpe and Isidor Fisch are helpers of the scheme. Violet Sharpe seemed to be very anxious, and it was apparent that she was hiding something. Isidor Fisch had lots of evidence that was passed to Bruno Hauptmann, and applying for a passport on the day the baby was found proved he was involved. These four suspects can be blamed for acting suspiciously and doing something that broke America’s heart. What they had against a 20-month-old baby is still a mystery, and most likely will always
During the cold war, and President Eisenhower’s was a spy plane that crashed over Soviet air space. This is known as one of the most embarrassing moments of Eisenhower’s term, when the U.S tried to cover it up. The United States denied having anything to do with the spy plane over Soviet Union airspace publically not knowing that the Soviets had the pilot. Eventually the Soviet Union government revealed the proof they had that the United States was involved. Which therefore President Eisenhower was forced to admit and make a public apology.
. At the town of Roswell an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) crash landed in the quiet little town. Many Roswell residents testified that they saw a burning object plummet toward the ground before exploding upon impact. The Air Force's initial reaction to the incident was to tell the world that they did not know what it was. This shows me evidence that they had no “protocol” for this kind of occurrence, thus the Military leader stepped in and covered everything up. This incident caught the attention of citizens of the United States, local officials, and the media. It has especially gained interest in a variety of Special interest groups/ groups that specialize in researching and investigating events that involve UFO’s.
The Roswell Incident, which enlightened our minds to the capacity of excepting all, has remained one of the most controversial issues today. In Roswell, New Mexico, 1947, a strange occurrence arises. An alien craft from outer space crashed in an open field. The issue lay still for almost thirty years, until the thought of a government cover-up arose.
Every year, thousands of UFOs are spotted. Surveys have shown that about one-third of the population believes that some of the action is due to extraterrestrial life. Many people have reported contact by extraterrestrial beings. It was once believed that Earth was the only planet that held life. Now, there are many signs supporting life on other planets.
