Roswell Incident
A rancher discovered unusual debris on his property near Roswell. The Army initially announced recovery of a 'flying disc' before retracting and claiming it was a weather balloon. Debris was shipped to Wright-Patterson AFB. Battelle Memorial Institute was contracted under SECRET classification to study the recovered Titanium-Nickel alloy — the same material that would later be 'officially discovered' as Nitinol in 1962. Battelle scientist Elroy Center confessed to analyzing ET debris; his supervisor Dr. Howard Cross also led Project Blue Book analysis. The 1994 Air Force report attributed debris to Project Mogul, but the Battelle material science timeline contradicts the official explanation.

Roswell Daily Record — 'RAAF Captures Flying Saucer'
Front page headline of the Roswell Daily Record: 'RAAF Captures Flying Saucer On Ranch in Roswell Region.' The Army Air Force's own press officer, Lt. Walter Haut, issued the original press release confirming recovery of a flying disc. Within 24 hours, the story was retracted and changed to a weather balloon. Haut left a sealed affidavit opened after his death in 2005 stating the original story was true — he personally saw the craft and bodies.
Major Jesse Marcel — 'It Was Not of This Earth'
Major Jesse Marcel, the intelligence officer who personally recovered debris from the Roswell crash site in 1947, broke 30 years of silence in this interview. He described metallic material that could not be dented, cut, or burned, and thin foil-like material with purple hieroglyphic-like symbols. Marcel stated unequivocally that the material 'was not of this earth' and that the weather balloon cover story was a deliberate lie ordered by General Ramey.
Lt. Col. Philip Corso — Pentagon Technology Seeding Interview
Lt. Col. Corso describes his role at the Foreign Technology desk at Army R&D where he claims to have seeded recovered Roswell technology into American defense contractors. He describes seeing an alien body at Ft. Riley in 1947, handling recovered materials at the Pentagon, and distributing components to companies like Bell Labs, IBM, and Dow Corning — all without revealing the extraterrestrial origin. Corso served on Eisenhower's National Security Council.
