The UFO crash site in Roswell New Mexico in 1947 was the start of people’s interest in extraterrestrials, the discovery of military secrets and experiments kept from society, and the start, in search of answering are we alone in this universe.
An unidentified flying object fell at Roswell New the first week of July in 1947. A rancher the next day after a fierce thunder storm went out with his son on horses to go check on sheep. While he was riding the horse he noticed unusual debris of metal scattered over a huge part of his ranch. As he kept on inspecting the land he saw a huge trench several hundred feet long gouged to the ground. He decided to gather some of the debris of the unusual material he saw and took it back home with him. He reported the accident and the weird debris he found to the county sheriff. The rancher even experimented with the metals that were very thin as tin foil and were indestructible. He tried burning it but did not even melt, he tried bending it but nothing happened the metal just remained as is (The crash near Roswell).
Just about everyone in the United States has heard about the little town of Roswell, New Mexico. Most people know that there is a connection between Roswell and UFO’S. This crash site became the most credible in UFO crashes ever known. The U.S military actually sent out to the news and every reporter claiming that a flying disk has just crash at Roswell in July 1947. It was all in the news papers and it said that the military had recovered the flying disk and later the military retracted that news from the newspaper and every type of media saying that they had made a mistake and that it was just a weather balloon that they retracted and have in their possession (marshal, Brian). The s...

...re not alone. Mitchell said our destiny and we might as well get started with it; we should become a part of the planetary community. We should be ready to reach out beyond our planet and beyond our solar system to find out what is really going on out there (Mitchell).
The night of July 1947 at Roswell New Mexico when a UFO crashed at a rancher’s ranch people have long said that aliens did actually crashed that night while others say and agree with the military and go along with it was just a weather balloon. I believe that aliens and a UFO did actually crashed in Roswell New Mexico and that the government at first announced that a flying saucer had just crashed their but later announced that it was just a weather balloon. This question whether a UFO and aliens did actually crash in Roswell will remain unanswered but was the start of people’s interest in UFO’s.

    Babe Ruth. Hank Aaron. Nolan Ryan. Cal Ripken Jr. These outstanding Major League Baseball players deservedly earned their spot in baseball’s Hall of Fame. Hank Aaron held the league’s home run record with 755 for 33 years, until it was broken by Barry Bonds at the height of the steroid era (Andy). Aaron has never been accused of steroid use; however, Bonds has. Nolan Ryan can be found at the top of the all-time strikeout list, but Roger Clemens is not far behind. Once again, the former has never been proven to have been on steroids, while the latter was found guilty. It is not fair to the players who achieved their greatness on their own merit to be surpassed, or even grouped alongside, those who cheated the game. The Hall of Fame needs to

    What really happened over the summer in 1947 in Roswell, New Mexico? People have debated this topic countless times. Despite all of the deviations of what happened, there is a general timeline. Sometime during the months of June and July 1947, an aircraft landed in Mac Brazel’s ranch; Brazel proceeded to tell Sheriff George Wilcox. He sent a member of the Roswell Army Air Field base to look at the wreckage on Brazel’s ranch. This person took some of the debris back to the base for further inspection. On July 8, 1947, the newspapers published stories about how someone found a flying saucer in New Mexico. However, the government told the newspapers to report that it was merely a weather balloon that had crashed. After that, everybody simply accepted the story and dropped the topic. Throughout that story, many pieces of evidence went untold to the media. There were numerous pictures that went unreleased. Many affidavits went unnoticed and nobody paid attention to inconsistencies in the government’s justifications.
