would otherwise be well off the beaten tourist trail. We fall firmly into the former group; so we spent a happy afternoon poring over the exhibits in the town\u2019s UFO museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Roswell Incident<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As I mentioned above, in June or July 1947 a local rancher, \u2018Mack\u2019 Brazel, found some odd-looking debris on his land some 30 miles north of Roswell. Several \u2018flying saucer\u2019 stories had appeared in the national press that summer; and these led Brazel to believe that the wreckage (rubber strips, tinfoil, paper etc.) might be something like that. So he showed some of the material to the local sheriff; and he in turn brought it to the attention of the commanding officer of the Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next day the RAAF issued a statement about the find:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>The many rumors regarding the flying disc became a reality yesterday when the intelligence office of the 509th Bomb Group of the Eighth Air Force, Roswell Army Air Field, was fortunate enough to gain possession of a disc through the cooperation of one of the local ranchers and the sheriff&#8217;s office of Chaves County.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Needless to say, this was headline news in the local paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"456\" data-attachment-id=\"4772\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/roswell-daily-record-public-domain-via-wikimedia-commons\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Roswell-Daily-Record-Public-domain-via-Wikimedia-Commons.jpg?fit=780%2C556&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"780,556\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Roswell Daily Record, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Roswell Daily Record, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Roswell-Daily-Record-Public-domain-via-Wikimedia-Commons.jpg?fit=640%2C456&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Roswell-Daily-Record-Public-domain-via-Wikimedia-Commons.jpg?resize=640%2C456&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Front page of newspaper with headline about flying saucer\" class=\"wp-image-4772\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Roswell-Daily-Record-Public-domain-via-Wikimedia-Commons.jpg?w=780&amp;ssl=1 780w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Roswell-Daily-Record-Public-domain-via-Wikimedia-Commons.jpg?resize=300%2C214&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Roswell-Daily-Record-Public-domain-via-Wikimedia-Commons.jpg?resize=768%2C547&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Roswell-Daily-Record-Public-domain-via-Wikimedia-Commons.jpg?resize=500%2C356&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Roswell-Daily-Record-Public-domain-via-Wikimedia-Commons.jpg?resize=379%2C270&amp;ssl=1 379w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Roswell Daily Record, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But U.S. Army officials quickly retracted the \u2018flying disc\u2019 claim, saying that the debris was in fact from a weather balloon. And they released photographs of their investigator posing with pieces of this supposed weather balloon debris as proof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The incident was soon forgotten by most; and it was only in the 1970s, with UFO fever at a height, that it was investigated further. By that time many of those involved would have had plenty of time to forget what had happened; but that hasn\u2019t stopped a very detailed account being put together, albeit with many conflicting stories within it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Official explanations today<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1994 the U.S. Air Force released a report in which they conceded that the \u2018weather balloon\u2019 story had been bogus. Instead, they said, the wreckage came from a spy device created for a classified project called Project Mogul. This was a string of high-altitude balloons equipped with microphones, designed to float secretly over the USSR, detecting sound waves. The aim was to monitor the Soviet government\u2019s attempts at testing their own atomic bomb. Because Project Mogul was a covert operation, the new report claimed, a false explanation of the crash had been necessary. And the claims by eyewitnesses that they saw alien bodies being taken from the site were refuted in a follow-up report in 1997 which identified these as fallen parachute test-dummies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But many of those who believe in UFOs remain convinced that Brazel had found a crashed spaceship, complete with its alien pilot who died in the crash. Sceptics are equally convinced that it was no such thing. The believers, including (naturally) those who run the UFO museum, can find plenty of evidence to indicate some sort of cover-up by the authorities; while those who are unconvinced by tales of aliens can easily explain these cover-ups by speculation about secret government programmes or Soviet activity. The internet of course has plenty of accounts of the incident from all perspectives. For a balanced summary, longer than my own, have a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/news\/roswell-ufo-aliens-what-happened\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.history.com\/news\/roswell-ufo-aliens-what-happened<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The International UFO Museum<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whichever \u2018camp\u2019 you belong to, you have to be impressed with the dedication and attention to detail of those who have amassed this museum\u2019s collection. It is extremely thorough. Of most visual appeal are the several dioramas of aliens; and most famously the rather gruesome visualisation of the supposed \u2018alien autopsy\u2019 that followed the 1947 discovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"430\" data-attachment-id=\"4782\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/dscf1028\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/DSCF1028.jpg?fit=2446%2C1643&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2446,1643\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;3.4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;FinePix S2950&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1317856034&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;6.3&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.02&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"In the International UFO Museum, Roswell NM\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Alien diorama&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/DSCF1028.jpg?fit=640%2C430&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/DSCF1028.jpg?resize=640%2C430&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Three alien figures\" class=\"wp-image-4782\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/DSCF1028.jpg?resize=1024%2C688&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/DSCF1028.jpg?resize=300%2C202&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/DSCF1028.jpg?resize=768%2C516&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/DSCF1028.jpg?resize=1536%2C1032&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/DSCF1028.jpg?resize=2048%2C1376&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/DSCF1028.jpg?resize=500%2C336&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/DSCF1028.jpg?resize=800%2C537&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/DSCF1028.jpg?resize=1280%2C860&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/DSCF1028.jpg?resize=1920%2C1290&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/DSCF1028.jpg?resize=402%2C270&amp;ssl=1 402w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/DSCF1028.jpg?resize=850%2C571&amp;ssl=1 850w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/DSCF1028.jpg?resize=272%2C182&amp;ssl=1 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Alien diorama<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>But these are just the tip of the iceberg when compared to the sizeable collections here. These are spread across a number of bays, each with a theme.

In fact, as an open-minded sceptic I found it difficult not to get drawn into that belief myself, such was the weight of \u2018evidence\u2019 presented to me here, at least in terms of its quantity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"914\" data-attachment-id=\"4781\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/dscf1027\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/DSCF1027.jpg?fit=1663%2C2376&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1663,2376\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;3.1&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;FinePix S2950&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1317856004&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.022222222222222&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"The International UFO Museum, Roswell NM\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Alien diorama&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/DSCF1027.jpg?fit=640%2C914&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/DSCF1027.jpg?resize=640%2C914&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Models of two aliens and flying saucer\" class=\"wp-image-4781\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/DSCF1027.jpg?resize=717%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 717w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/DSCF1027.jpg?resize=210%2C300&amp;ssl=1 210w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/DSCF1027.jpg?resize=768%2C1097&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/DSCF1027.jpg?resize=1075%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1075w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/DSCF1027.jpg?w=1663&amp;ssl=1 1663w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toonsarah-travels.blog\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/DSCF1027.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Alien diorama<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>What is incontrovertible is that the official story was changed a day or two after the initial press release; and the material displayed here certainly seems to point to the fact that this was no mere weather balloon.
