Roswell UFO Incident: Cover-Up or Sci-Fi?

Monday, June 9th, 2008

Sixty years ago one of the most enduring mysteries of modern times burst into the public arena. It was the Roswell incident, the reported crash of a flying saucer.

The U.S. military says it’s all a misunderstanding caused by a downed weather balloon, but the official story keeps changing, and the Roswell legend won’t go away.

The I-Team has been digging into the Roswell crash for many years. One of the reasons for our interest in Roswell is its purported relationship to Nevada’s own Area 51, which carries its own legacy regarding crashed UFOs.

UFO Crashes & Retrievals

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

This is a brief synopsis of UFO Crash reports and military retrievals. Many of these reports have not been investigated and could be the subject of future research.

1. July 4, 1947 (Roswell, NM) Most famous of the UFO Crash cases and most thoroughly investigated. William (Mac) Brazel, a local rancher, reported hearing a loud explosion during the night of a thunderstorm. The next day Brazel found a debris field on his ranch. Word reached Major Jesse Marcel at the Roswell Army Air Field and he investigated. Marcel reported finding a debris field scattered over a mile. The material recovered from the debris included small beams with heiroglyphics on them; metal that was as light as balsa wood, but couldn’t be dented with a sledge hammer, although flexible. The material would not burn. The scrap material was flown to Carswell AFB in Fort Worth. Witnesses have described a second site where the main body of the craft was found along with the bodies of its crew. Visit the NEW WORLD Web site for artist’s drawings.

Canada’s Roswell

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

The name “Roswell” immediately conjures the most famous UFO case in U.S. history. Over the years, the case has lured UFO researchers on an unending search to find a “smoking gun” locked away in some secret U.S. government vault.

Roswell UFO Incident

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

On July 8, 1947, the Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF) issued a press release stating that personnel from the field’s 509th Bomb Group had recovered a crashed “flying disc” from a ranch near Roswell, sparking intense media interest. Later the same day, the Commanding General of the Eighth Air Force stated that, in fact, a weather balloon had been recovered by RAAF personnel, rather than a “flying saucer.” A subsequent press conference was called, featuring debris said to be from the crashed object that seemed to confirm the weather balloon description. The case was quickly forgotten and almost completely ignored, even by UFO researchers, for more than 30 years. Then, in 1978, ufologist Stanton T. Friedman interviewed Major Jesse Marcel, who was involved with the original recovery of the debris in 1947. Marcel expressed his belief that the military had covered up the recovery of an alien spacecraft. His story circulated through UFO circles, being featured in some UFO documentaries at the time. In February 1980, The National Enquirer ran its own interview with Marcel, garnering national and worldwide attention for the Roswell incident.

Rowsell - Hanger 18

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

Roswell

Hanger 18, the supposedly top-secret air force repository of crashed alien saucers and ET corpses at Wright-Patterson Field in Ohio. And Keel maintains that Barker also fabricated the “Edwards Air Force Base fairy tale (in which he names several of his personal friends as witnesses, along with President Eisenhower).” Both of those whoppers (according to Keel) “served as the framework for the MJ-12/Roswell, New Mexico ‘crashed saucer’ hoaxes that absorbed the attention of many UFO buffs throughout the 1980s.” (And well into the ’90s, we might add. And if Keel is correct, latter-day UFOlogists, many of whom accept the MJ-12 and Roswell stories as bedrock truth, are perched on a rather unstable fault line.)

Roswell - The Smoking Gun, Ramey Memo

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

Roswell

Barely noticeable in one of the 1947 photos and clutched in Gen. Ramey’s left hand is a slip of paper (boxed in red). Probably unwittingly, Gen. Ramey had the text side facing towards the camera, allowing the text on this paper to be photographed.

When blown up and analyzed, it tells a remarkably different story of events from the one Ramey or contemporary Air Force counter-intelligence wants you to believe.

The message turns out to be a telegram from Gen. Ramey to the Pentagon and Gen. Hoyt Vandenberg, the acting AAF Chief of Staff at the time. Ramey is providing Vandenberg an update on the very fluid situation in-the-field at Roswell.
