Roswell Daily Record - July 8, 1947
 
 
On July 8, RAAF public information officer Walter Haut issued a press release stating that the military had recovered a "flying disc" near Roswell. Robert Porter, an RAAF flight engineer, was part of the crew who loaded what he was "told was a flying saucer" onto the flight bound for Fort Worth Army Air Field (FWAAF). He described the material – packaged in wrapping paper when he received it – as lightweight and not too large to fit inside the trunk of a car. After station director George Walsh broke the news over Roswell radio station KSWS and relayed it to the Associated Press, his phone lines were overwhelmed. He later recalled, "All afternoon, I tried to call Sheriff Wilcox for more information, but could never get through to him [...] Media people called me from all over the world."          
 
The United States Air Force steadfastly maintains to this day that it was simply a weather balloon that crashed.            
 
In 1994, a  television film produced by Paul Davids entitled, Rosswell, the U. F. O. Coverup, a supposedly true story about the Roswell UFO incident and references prominent UFOlogy events such as Area 51, alien autopsies, the death of James Forrestal and Majestic-12.
