Roswell Incident

"Is it true that an alien spaceship crashed near Roswell in 1947?"

Conspiracy theorists and ufologists are convinced that it did – but that the incident was covered up to prevent public panic. According to them, the US government recovered a ‘flying saucer’ and discovered the bodies of extraterrestrial beings. These were then transported to the top-secret military base, Area 51, where they are allegedly studied to this day. An unusually large number of eyewitnesses supposedly supports this narrative, with some claiming they were intimidated by so-called ‘Men in Black’ to keep ‘their bloody mouths’ shut. The official version, however, states that the crashed object was a weather balloon, launched as part of a secret surveillance program. Or was this just a lie?
