It is July 1947 in the night desert of New Mexico. Searchlights sweep across scattered debris on a ranch while soldiers seal off the area. According to later UFO reports, what were they allegedly supposed to have secretly recovered?
Correct!
The Roswell incident became famous because debris found in 1947 later grew into one of the best-known UFO legends. There is no evidence of an extraterrestrial crash; the U.S. Air Force later explained the debris as Project Mogul balloon material.
Mystery fact: In many theories, alleged wreckage or bodies were later taken to a highly secret military facility.
