The year was 1947. In the aftermath of World War II, as a tentative peace settled over the world, many people still looked to the skies for impending doom. Human technology had made a leap forward in the last half century, from mostly agrarian farm life to ubiquitous electricity, air travel, and bombs that could split atoms and destroy cities. It was no wonder that even with the war over, eyes still combed the skies for threats from above—and not just those of this world.

The US was made painfully aware of the threats that hostile nations posed to the American way of life. Though the Second World War as we know it ‘resolved’ with relatively few incursions on American soil, mostly relegated to Europe and Asia, the US had now made a new enemy out of a temporary ally, the USSR. Heated gun battles and firefights were replaced by an icy game of global chess. It was the start of the Cold War; more than that, it was the advent of ever-advancing technology meant to protect both sides from the other’s aggression.

The Space Race was not far off on the horizon, either. As the world’s two superpowers set their sights on the stars, their citizens began to wonder what other threats might be lurking in our stellar neighborhood, and if unexplained objects in the sky could be signs of invaders from another planet.

Mild paranoia soon gave way to an all-out craze centered on “flying saucers,” “flying discs,” or the soon-to-be-agreed-upon moniker of “unidentified flying objects,” or UFOs. The craze began in earnest on June 24, 1947, when civilian pilot Kenneth Arnold reported his sighting of nine reflective discs flying at approximately 1,200 miles per hour. His UFO sighting quickly gained national media attention. Reports of similar sightings exploded in the weeks that followed, many of them hoaxes or misidentified objects.

There was one saucer case, however, that would grip the nation for months and years to come. Over seven decades later, after numerous official explanations and great controversies, some insist that we still don’t know the whole story.
This is an examination of what really happened at Roswell.
