Almost fifty years ago, an incident occurred in the southwestern desert of the United States that could have significant implications for all mankind. The incident was announced by the U. S. military, and denied by the U. S. military, and has remained covered-up in the government for the past fifty and hopefully not another fifty years. It is not a hoax or false claim, but rather a known event that is thoroughly documented.
It is the objective here is to summarize the details of the events and interviews of that event, affirm the right of all people throughout the world to know the truth about what occurred, and propose course of action that will allow the truth to emerge. It was July 1947, the day started out just like any other day. People of Roswell were going off to work, going downtown shopping, and the little ones were at playgrounds with their mothers. Day in and day out townspeople would drive by the military without giving it much thought.
However, this day, in Roswell, New Mexico would change the course of history, and how the public thinks of themselves, God and the outer limits of space! Roswell New Mexico was in the middle of the desert. Here was a vast open land where one could see miles around. On this afternoon something very strange was about to happen. In the clear skies of Roswell a very large craft ended its flight. Was this a weather balloon or an Unidentified Flying Object? There were many eye-witness reports of alien creatures lying next to their destroyed crafts. One or two may have survived for a few days.
The military quickly cornered off this area, removing the particles and the bodies. A local funeral director got a call for numerous child size coffins. He was to deliver them to the rear of the military base. Major Marcel was an officer on the scene who took part of the ship home. He spoke to the press about the crash, but soon told never to discuss it again. What he saw was a weather balloon. The press received a news release saying that a few officers had jumped to conclusions. To this day the government denies the fact that spaceships exists.
Is this a massive cover up or science fiction? My I-Search will delve into these questions. I will try to obtain the truth and allow my classmates to decide if we are being visited from other planets or not? I chose this topic because of my interest in space and whether life exists on other planets. Is Their technology is far more superior to ours? Why an’t we work together to solve the mysteries of the planets? I believe these aliens do exist and I will try to prove it! This will affect my life, because I’ve always wanted to know if anything or anyone else exists in the universe.
What if the government uncovered the truth? Would there be total chaos or would we want to meet other space beings? I hope to find out why the government is continuing to cover up the Roswell incident. Why haven’t the Presidents told us the truth since 1947? I will write to Washington and demand an answer. Happenings in 1947 On July 2, 1947, during the evening, a flying saucer crashed to the round at the Foster Ranch near, Corona, New Mexico. The crash occurred during a severe thunderstorm. ( The military base nearest to the crash site is in Roswell, New Mexico.
Roswell is more closely associated with this event than Corona, even though Corona is closer to the crash site. On July 3, 1947, William “Mac” Brazel and his 7 year-old neighbor Dee Proctor found the remains of the crashed flying saucer. Brazel was foreman of the Foster Ranch. The pieces were spread out over a large area, more than half a mile long. When Brazel drove Dee back home, he showed a piece of the reckage to Dee’s parents, Floyd and Loretta Proctor, they all agreed the piece was unlike anything they had ever seen.
On July 6, 1947, Brazel showed pieces of the wreckage to Chaves County Sheriff George Wilcox. He called Roswell Army Air Field (AAF) and talked to Major Marcel, the intelligence officer. Marcel drove to the sheriff’s office and inspected the wreckage. Marcel reported to his commanding officer, Colonel William “Butch” Blanchard. Butch ordered Marcel to get someone from the Counter Intelligence Corps, proceed to the ranch with Brazel, and to collect as much of the wreckage as they could load into their two vehicles.
Soon after this, military police arrived at the sheriff’s office, collected the wreckage at Blanchard’s office. The wreckage was then flown to Eighth Air Force headquarters in Fort Worth, and then to Washington. Meanwhile, Marcel and Sheridan Cavitt of the Counter Intelligence Corps drove to the ranch with Mac Brazel. They arrived late in the evening. They spent the night in sleeping bags in a small out-building on the ranch. The next morning proceeded to the crash site. On July, 7, 1947, Marcel and Cavitt collected wreckage from the crash site.
After filling Cavitt’s vehicle with wreckage Marcel told Cavitt to go on head, that Marcel would collect more wreckage, and they would meet later back at Roswell AAF. Marcel filled his vehicle with wreckage. On the way back to the air field, Marcel stopped home to show his wife and son the strange materials he had found. Soon after, at about 4:00 p. m. , Lyndia Sleppy at Roswell; radio station KSWS began transmitting a story on the teletype machine regarding a crashed flying saucer out on the Foster Ranch. Transmission was interrupted, presumably by the FBI.
The next day, July, 8, 1947, in the morning, Marcel and Cavitt arrived back at Roswell AAF with two carloads of wreckage. Marcel accompanied this wreckage, or most of it, on a flight to Fort Worth AAF. Later that day, around noon, Colonel Blanchard at Roswell AAF ordered Second Lieutenant Walter Haut to issue a press release telling the country that the Army had found the remains of a crashed flying saucer. Haut was the public information officer for the 509th Bomb Group at Roswell AAF. Haut delivered the press release to Frank Joyce at radio station KGFL.
Joyce waited long enough for Haut to return to base, then called Haut there to confirm the story. Joyce then sent the story on the Western Union wire to the United Press bureau. July 8, 1947, in the afternoon, General Clemence McMullen spoke by telephone from Washington with Colonel DuBose in Fort Worth. DuBose was Chief- of-staff to Eighth Air Force Commander General Roger Ramey. McMullen ordered DuBose to tell Ramey to squash the flying saucer story by creating a cover story, and to send some of the crash material immediately to Washington.
On July 8, 1947, in the afternoon, General Roger Ramey held a press conference at the Eighth Air Force headquarters in Fort Worth. He announced that what had crashed at Corona was a weather balloon, not a flying saucer. To ake this story convincing, he showed the press the remains of a damaged weather balloon that he claimed was the actual wreckage from the crash site. ( The obliging press did not ask why the Army hurriedly transported weather balloon wreckage to Fort Worth, Texas, from the remote area of New Mexico. Jaworski interview])
The only newspapers that carried the initial flying saucer version of the story were evening papers from the Midwest to the West, including the Chicago Daily News , The Los Angeles Herald Express, the San Francisco Examiner, and the Roswell Daily Record. The New York Times, the Washington Post, nd the Chicago Tribune were morning papers and so carried only the cover-up story the next morning. At some point, an ample amount of soldiers were sent to the debris field on the Foster Ranch, including a lot of MPs whose job was to limit access to the field.
A wide search was launched well beyond the limits of the debris field. Within a day or two, a few miles from the debris field, the main body of the flying saucer was found, and a mile or two from that several bodies of small humanoids were found. The military took Mac Brazel into custody for about a week, during which ime he was seen on the streets of Roswell with a military escort. His behavior aroused the curiosity of friends when he passed them without any sign of recognition. Following this period of detention, Brazel discarded his initial story [Internet UFO.
COM]. The Civilians Loetta Proctor (Interview held in 1990) Loretta Proctor, Mac Brazel’s nearest neighbor, was one of the first people to see pieces of the wreckage Brazel had found. She was interviewed in 1990. “Mac had this piece of material that he picked up. He wanted to show it to us and wanted us to go down and see the rest of the debris or whatever, but e didn’t on account of the transportation and everything wasn’t too good. He didn’t get anybody to come out who was interested in it.
The piece he brought looked like a kind of tan, lightbrown plastic. It was very lightweight, like balsa wood. It wasn’t a large piece, maybe about four inches long, maybe just a little longer than a pencil. We cut on it with a knife and would hold a match on it and it wouldn’t burn. We knew it wasn’t wood. It was smooth like plastic, it didn’t have a real sharp corners, kind of like a dowel stick. Kind of dark tan. It didn’t have any grain, just smooth. I hadn’t seen anything like it before in my life. ” Loretta said.
The following statement by Loretta Procyor suggests that Mac Brazel was bribed to keep quiet. [UFO. COM] “I think within that year, he had moved off the ranch and moved to Alamagordo or to Tularosa and he put something in a locker there. That was before people had home freezers, and it was a large refrigerator building. You would buy beef and cut it up and put it into those lockers and you had a key to it and you could get your beef out when you wanted it. I think it would have been pretty expensive, and kind of wonder how he could pay on rancher’s wages. “
