The Roswell Incident: UFO Crash, Cover Up and Conspiracy


Listen Later

Welcome To The Oddity Shop, Where The Bizarre is Always on Sale.  This week, your Curator Zach is covering the Infamous 1947 Roswell UFO Crash in our 150th Episode!!!!

The mystery begins when pilot Kenneth Arnold spots nine crescent-shaped objects flying at impossible speeds over Washington State, coining the term "flying saucer" and kickstarting America's UFO obsession. But the story truly takes flight when rancher Mac Brazel discovers bizarre debris on his New Mexico property.

When Brazel reports his findings to the Roswell Army Air Field, something extraordinary happens: the military actually announces they've captured a "flying disc" before abruptly changing their story within 24 hours, claiming it was merely a weather balloon. Major Jesse Marcel, the intelligence officer who handled the original materials, would later break his silence, stating unequivocally: "It was not anything from this Earth. I'm absolutely sure of that."

We trace how this incident faded from public consciousness before roaring back to life in the 1970s with hundreds of new witnesses coming forward. We examine the government's evolving explanations,  and all the bizarre inconsistencies that have kept researchers questioning the official narrative for 75+ years.

Leave us a voicemail with your thoughts on Roswell or share your own otherworldly experiences!
