Roswell incident was one of the greatest mysteries of the XX century and a favorite subject of admirers of various sacraments, conspiracy theories and alternative histories.At the same time this event was the start of such areas as UFOlogy - that is, focused study of evidence about unidentified flying objects in the world.
Roswell incident in 1947
Direct event happened on the night of the second on July 3, just before the local celebration of Independence Day.Roswell is a very tiny village in the state of New Mexico, which even today has only a few tens of thousands of residents.That night, a local farmer Mark Brazel witnessed flashes of light in the sky and a loud sound, like a clap of thunder.Since this took place before the storm, he did not attach any significance to the event.However, in the morning, after leaving the field to collect the runaway their sheep, a man suddenly found strange debris on a vacant lot of unfamiliar material.The farmer told of his find to the local sheriff.The public was excited.At the scene very soon the military and journalists.The first collected the remains from the crash of an unknown object, and reporters from the event quickly made a sensation all over the world the stories about UFO in Roswell.This version is confirmed by some locals and even a press officer in the US Air Force, Walter Haut.But the next day, the military issued a denial, explaining that in fact it was only the collapse of a weather balloon.Explanation of the authorities seemed quite logical, especially since journalists were allowed to look at the wreckage.They really turned out to be unremarkable.All speculation about the alien origin of the machine was charged to the natural human desire for sensationalism and the Roswell incident was gradually forgotten.
New sensation
all would have remained, but in the 1970s, suddenly there are new witnesses that broke over the town it is a flying saucer of extraterrestrial origin.This was the first Major Jesse Marcel said in an interview.He claimed that the charges against the journalists fragments in the forties - a fake.And that in fact there really was found the alien ship, at the opening of which have been withdrawn humanoid body.Across the state in those years began to appear witnesses who stated that the silence for many years, but suddenly lost their power to hide the truth.Now the alien invasion was impossible to hide, because it had a number of witnesses!Fuel to the fire poured rumors film by British director Ray Santilli, released in 1995.It demonstrated the alleged documentary chronicles Alien Autopsy, which was discovered in a fallen plate.However, the film has received a barrage of criticism of the obvious lies and falsifications that have been evident as the physicians (pathologists work on issues in the video), and operators. The "Mogul»
In the middle of the nineties, it was suggested a version that Roswell incident could have quite the earth, that is, espionage roots.In the second half of 1940 the world began "Cold War" and was an active nuclear arms race.The Soviet leadership during this period under the "Mogul" weather balloons have been developed, designed to monitor nuclear tests of Americans on their territory.It is in this machine could prove that the witnesses saw in the state of New Mexico.
Roswell incident remains a mystery
However, this explanation had to taste, not all, as an extraordinary interest in the military events of 1947 was evident.And many UFO proponents version is doubtful that such turmoil would cause an ordinary Soviet probe.After all, mutual surveillance and so was not a mystery to governments.The next, and until last spice to the mystery was the will of Walter Haut, who died in 2005.The one who first told the world of the military about aliens in 1947.Now, he said he actually saw extraterrestrial beings then.Skepticism that the will makes the fact that the daughter of Hout at the time worked at the Museum of UFOs, is open to tourists in Roswell.And, of course, he was quite interested in fomenting the sensation.Whatever it was, every man for himself determines what to believe.
