In July of 1947, a rancher in New Mexico found strange debris scattered across his land. Within hours, the U.S. Army Air Forces announced that they had recovered a “flying disc.” By the next day, they said it was only a weather balloon.
That contradiction—issued and retracted in less than twenty-four hours—would become one of the most enduring mysteries of the twentieth century.
In Part One of our Roswell investigation, we return to the original record. We examine the newspaper headlines as they appeared in 1947, the official military statements, and the testimony of the men who handled the wreckage.
