The Roswell Incident

The Roswell incident refers to an event in 1947 when a mysterious object crashed near Roswell, New Mexico. Initially, the U.S. military stated it was a "flying disc," but quickly retracted that, claiming it was a weather balloon. This shift sparked widespread speculation and conspiracy theories about extraterrestrial life, as some believed the debris was from an alien spacecraft. Over the years, the Roswell incident has become a significant part of UFO lore and has fueled discussions about government secrecy and the possibility of alien encounters.
