The 2024 Roswell UFO Festival weekend just completed today; it featured many interesting events for everyone's taste. a costume contest, an Out-of-This-World costumes for pets contest, a light Parade and merchandise, of course.
On July 7, 1947, the infamous UFO incident occurred near Roswell, New Mexico; much has been made about the incident. and it was reported the following day in the Roswell Daily Record.
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.
