The Roswell Ufo Crash

The Roswell UFO Crash

In 1947 a UFO was seen near the town of Roswell, New Mexico. It was

witnessed by many of the residents and was described as something not of this

planet. The government denies any evidence of this event occurring and has

covered it up for may years. Now that more information has become available to

the public, it is clear that something extraordinary happened.

The town of Roswell, New Mexico was the location of many UFO sightings

in the later 1940's and was supposedly the location of a secret military base.

Most of the local people had a story or two to tell about their experiences with

these sightings, but are now coming forward with stories about how the

government threatened them not to speak of the incidents that occurred. Some

felt as though their life was endangered if they dared to speak of what they saw.

One incident in particular which has sparked a craze in the study of

UFO's is when a flying disk allegedly crashed in the deserts of New Mexico near

Roswell on the night of July 8, 1947. According to Roswell expert Henry Ritson,

many civilians arrived at the crash scene and witnessed the bodies of alien

beings (Roswell Reporter pg. 2). These witnesses report to have seen humanoid

beings with large, pear-shaped heads and bulging black eyes being hauled away by

government and military agents and to have been debriefed of the entire

occurrence by these agents (Roswell Reporter pg. 3). Some witnesses were

threatened not to speak of the incident again. The object in question was later

classified by the government as a weather balloon and discounted all evidence

and eyewitness reports of the UFO scene (pg. 3).

The farmer whose field the UFO crashed in was offered a large sum of

money by a local radio station to tell his story on the air. He spoke of strange

alien materials and a seemingly invincible square of foil which could not be cut

or damaged. He also described the alien beings and the craft in which they

traveled (Roswell: What are We Talking About? pg. 2). He was later arrested by

the military and held at the government base. The first officer to the crash

site, Lt. Jesse Marcel, was told to make a public restatement about the crash

scene and report that he had mis...

The controversy about aliens and the incident at Roswell, New Mexico

will most likely continue until either aliens make contact with humans

publically or until the government admits to the cover-ups in Roswell and other

UFO sightings.

This crash was a very important historical event in the eyes of many,

and the government has done a good job of keeping the details of the event a

secret. No matter what the object was, it certainly opened the eyes of the

public. The people involved in the incident and those who witnessed it are the

only ones who know for sure what really happened on that memorable evening. They

have been silenced by the government, and may never speak of the events that

occurred that night. They are the few who have seen exactly what is out there.

The rest may never know.

Who can the american people trust? If their own government keeps one of

the most important events in human history a secret, there is no telling what

else they know. It is right of the public to know what is history and what is a

misguided weather balloon.
