What Really Happened in Roswell?
60 years have passed since a flying object was seen over the Cascade Mountains in Washington State, at a height of around
3000m. On July 2nd, 1947, this large and bright object crashed in the dessert with a big ka-boom. The government immediately went to investigate the incident and took the remains back to the Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. Local media quickly picked up on the story, a day later the government announcing that a balloon crashed.
“The many rumors regarding the flying disc became a reality yesterday when the intelligence officer of the 509th Bomb Group of the Eighth Air Force, Roswell Army Air Field, was fortunate enough to gain possession of a disc,” is what the military authorities declared when discovering the incident, but a day later they said that a weather balloon is actually what crashed.
The story remained shrouded in mystery until last year, when an interesting twist brought attention to the story. Lieutenant Walter Haut, the public relations officer at the base in 1947, died last year but left a note to be opened after his death. The lieutenant said that the real object that was recovered from the crash was a craft with alien bodies.
Haut also mentions the meetings he attended with commander Col William Blanchard and the Commander of the Eighth Army Air Force, General Roger Ramey. Here pieces of the wreckage were presented but no one could identify the material. The clean-up operation for the crash site lasted months, military personnel removing any evidence of the space ship.
The aircraft is described as a “metallic egg-shaped object around 3.6m-4.5m in length and around 1.8m wide, without any windows, wings or gear to land.” Haut added: “I am convinced that what I personally observed was some kind of craft and its crew from outer space”.

The UFO sighting at Cascade Mountains in Washington State in 1947 was the first time that the phrase “Flying Saucer” was used. This was only a week or two before the Roswell ‘incident’ - what a coincidence!
