Alien Sightings Part 8: Roswell and the Men In Black

The most famous UFO incident in the world occurred in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. It is widely believed that US military forces intercepted a UFO and maintained it in Roswell in Area 51. The following day, the Roswell Daily Record reported that the RAAF (Roswell Army Air Field) captured a flying saucer on a ranch in Roswell. The military claims that they had retrieved debris from a high-altitude surveillance balloon from a classified operation, but conspiracy theorists put no credence to this cover story. The incident faded from public scrutiny until 1978, when physicist Stanton Friedman interviewed Major Jesse Marcel, who was one of the people who had recovered the debris. Marcel claimed that the military covered up the recovery of an alien spacecraft. In 1989, mortician Glenn Dennis gave a personal account of how alien autopsies were being carried out at the Roswell base. UFO theorists believe that this base is a large scale military operation dedicated to recovering alien craft and aliens.

Men in Black

In Maury Island in Washington on June 21, 1947, six circular UFOs were spotted hovering over the island. They were described as being doughnut-shaped with a hole in the center and rows of windows on the outside. Debris fell from the UFOs, killing the dog of sailor, Harold Dahl, who witnessed this while scavenging for driftwood in the Puget Sound in Washington. Later this same seaman claimed that men dressed all in black arrived at his house and threatened him if he said anything about this incident. Two UFO investigators went to investigate the incident and collect the debris. On their return flight, their plane crashed and they were killed in the accident, leading people to believe that the plane was sabotaged due to the classified material they were carrying. It is speculated that the debris was the result of a US military operation gone wrong, but UFO experts disagree.
