The Roswell incident refers to an event that took place in July 1947, when an unidentified object crashed near Roswell, New Mexico. Initially, the U.S. military reported that they had recovered a "flying disc," but soon changed their statement, claiming it was a weather balloon. This shift in narrative sparked widespread speculation and conspiracy theories about extraterrestrial life. Over the years, the Roswell incident has become a significant part of UFO lore, leading to numerous investigations and documentaries. Many believe that the government covered up the recovery of an alien spacecraft, while others argue it was simply a case of misidentification. The incident continues to intrigue both researchers and the public.
