The Roswell UFO Incident

What this episode covers

In this episode of Strange Matters we discuss the infamous Roswell Incident, where a mysterious crashed aircraft of unknown origins was discovered near an Air Force base in New Mexico. In the summer of 1947 a farmer came across a pile of debris scattered on the ground that appeared to be some kind of craft. Local Air Force officials came to inspect and recover the materials and claimed it was simply a crashed Weather Balloon. Though many believed the explanation, there are some who came to believe that this was the first evidence of a crashed Alien space craft. As UFO hysteria swept the country, many others in the Roswell area claimed to see other signs of alien activity, including claims of spotting dead aliens at other crash sites. We here at Strange Matters go over the big stories and claims made my both sides, the Government and UFO enthusiast alike. Is there any chance that this was in fact an alien craft? Or was it simply just a experimental Air Force balloon? Listen to the episode and let us know what you believe of this bizarre tale! iTunes Stitcher Facebook Page
