On July 4, 1947, a farming and ranching community in southeastern New Mexico called Roswell,  became the center of  historical controversy the night a UFO crashed on a ranch owned by rancher Mac Brazel.  According to documented reports, the bodies of four aliens were recovered along with  their spacecraft.

Roswell residents, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Wilmot were the only ones who actually saw what was described as a UFO.  According to the Roswell Daily Record,  Mr. Wilmot said that it appeared to him to be about 1,500 feet high, and he estimated it's speed to be between 400 an 500 miles per hour.  He also said it was oval in shape like two old wash bowls placed together.  The entire body of the object glowed as if light were beaming through from inside.

That incident occurred fifty years ago, and it turned Roswell, New Mexico, into the home of the most significant and verifiable UFO event in modern history.  We have not even begun to realize the implications that this event presents for all of mankind.

Many people are not aware that the event exists,  or that it was so well documented.  There is extensive and detailed information on the recovery of wreckage and related events.  Some years ago investigators located a copy of the 1947 Roswell Air Field yearbook.  It allowed investigators to locate eye witnesses throughout the country.  Newspaper reports from the time show that during late June and early July 1947,  there were a significant number of substantiated reports by creditable witnesses, including pilots, of  "flying disks" (UFOs).  These sighting were not only in  the United States but also in  Canada.

It was during this period that  Roswell, New Mexico, rancher, Mac Brazel, discovered a considerable amount of crash debris while checking his live stock after a night of thunderstorms.  The wreckage had scattered over a large area, and created a shallow gouge several hundred feet long.   Some of the debris had unusual physical characteristics.  After taking a few pieces to show  neighbors, he contacted the sheriff who then notified Roswell Army Air Field. Shortly after becoming involved, the military closed off the area for days to retrieved the wreckage.  It was initially taken to Roswell Army Air Field, and then flown to Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio.  The Roswell Army Air Field was home of 509th Bomb Group, The 509th was an elite nuclear air wing, and at the time was the only nuclear air group in the world.  On the morning of July 8, 1947, Colonel William Blanchard, commander of the 509th Bomb Group, issued the infamous press release stating  that the wreckage of mankind's first captured "flying disk" (UFO) had been recovered.

Within hours, a second press release was issued from the office of General Roger Ramey. He was Commander of the Eight Air Force at Fort Worth Army Air Field in Texas, located about 400 miles from the impact site.  It overruled the original press release and claimed that Colonel Blanchard and other officers of the 509th Bomb Group had made a mistake and somehow identified a weather balloon and its radar reflector as the wreckage of a "flying disk" (UFO).

One of those two press releases was most certainly untrue.  Despite the government cover-up, UFO advocates believe there is evidence that the "weather balloon" press release from Eighth Air Force Headquarters, in Fort Worth, Texas, was the beginning of a cover-up, now considered by many as the "Cosmic Watergate."

The first witness interviewed by investigators was retired Lieutenant Colonel Jesse Marcel, the intelligence officer for the 509th Bomb Group.  He is described as a highly competent individual, and was one of the first two military officers to arrive at the crash site.  In a 1979, videotaped interview, Jesse Marcel stated,  "...it was not a weather balloon, nor was it an airplane or a missile".   As to the exotic properties of some of the material, he stated, "It would not burn... that stuff weighs nothing, it's so thin, it isn't any thicker than the tinfoil in a pack of cigarettes.  So, I tried making a dent in it with a sixteen-pound sledge hammer, and there was still no dent in it".

After viewing the crash site, he returned to the base, and then stopped by his house with a few pieces of the  wreckage to show his wife and son.  One particular piece was a small section of  I-beam, it had strange hieroglyphic like symbols on its surface.  His son, Dr. Jesse Marcel, Jr., now a medical doctor, National Guard helicopter pilot and flight surgeon, remembers the incident well.  He has produce detailed drawings of some of the symbols.

The testimony of Mr.Glenn Dennis  leaves little doubt about what was discovered in 1947. Glenn Dennis still lives in Roswell, New Mexico, and is a respected businessman and community member.  He is described as a down-to-earth and straight forward person.  In 1947, Glenn Dennis was a mortician working for the Ballard Funeral Home, which had been contracted to provide mortuary and ambulance services to the Army Air Field.

On the evening of the crash, as a result of unrelated events, he made a trip to the base hospital.  Outside the back entrance he "observed two military ambulances with open rear doors, from which several pieces of wreckage were visible, including one with a row of symbols on its surface.  Once inside, he encountered a nurse whom he knew".  At that moment,  he was noticed by military police, who threatened him and escorted him from the building.

He met with the nurse the next day, and she explained what had taken place at the hospital.  She described the terrible smell, and drew a diagram on a napkin showing an outline of  the alien's  physical features.  That meeting was their last, according to reports, a few days later the nurse was transferred.

The nurse who spoke with Glenn Dennis would now be sixty-nine years old.  Investigators are attempting to locate her.  Five nurses are pictured in the 1947 Roswell Air Field yearbook.  According to published documents, the files of all five are missing from military records.

In addition to Glenn Dennis, other witnesses were threatened or intimidated by military police.  The rancher who discovered the wreckage, Mac Brazel, was questioned by the military for a week and sworn to secrecy. According to reports,  he refuses to speak about the incident.

Although, the Roswell  incident is surrounded by false claims and hoaxes, the documented evidence does not appear to be a hoax or false claim, but a well document occurrence. According to UFO advocate and Nuclear Physicist Stanton Friedman ..." for obvious reasons, it is necessary that the military and intelligent agencies impose a certain amount of secrecy".  In recent decades, however, many observers agree that the use of government secrecy has become excessive. "... Secrecy is tantamount to power, and like power, is not readily relinquished".
