Did a UFO crash in Roswell, New Mexico? Pat and Rebecca switch roles! Pat explains why a UFO did land in a field in 1947 while Rebecca tells us why it didn’t. Listen and vote!

What was the Summer of Flying Saucers? What did rancher W.W. Brazel find in his field? Why did he decide it was alien? Who did it take it to and who did they tell? What happened to the debris? Why did the government release a statement saying it was from a “flying disc”? Was it a weather balloon? Was it a spy mission gone wrong? Was it a UFO?

Rebecca tells the history of Rosewell and the Summer of Flying Saucers. She tells the story of the rancher Brazel and what happened to the debris he found.
