Description:

This paper suggests that the United States government covered up the recovery of extraterrestrial beings after the reported flying saucer crash that occurred on July 5, 1947. It includes information about the farmer who claims to have seen the extraterrestrials first hand and how the US Air Force still continue to change the story. The author argues that instead of denying their existence, scientists, scholars, and the government should should share the information, study it, and learn from it.

From the Paper:

"Marcel reported what he believed to be the leftovers of a flying saucer. Quickly, the military closed off the area for a number of days and collected the pieces. First, it was taken to Roswell Army Air Field. Eventually, it was delivered via B-29 and C-54 aircraft to Dayton, Ohio's Wright Field. Roswell Army Air Field was the home of the 509th Bomb Group, which was the only atomic bomb group in the world. Jesse Marcel was the intelligence officer for them. Everybody in that group was handpicked for their credibility and elite qualifications.
"Following the examination of the debris, Colonel William Blanchard, Commander of the Bomb Group, ordered press officer, Walter Haut, to issue a press release. Haut, now 75 years old, remembered Blanchard saying, "We have in our possession a flying saucer. This thing crashed north of Roswell, and we've shipped it all to General Ramey, 8th Air Force at Forth Worth" (qtd. in Jaroff). On July 8, 1947, Haut's press release was released with a bang, "RAAF CAPTURES FLYING SAUCER ON RANCH IN ROSWELL REGION." It was transmitted over wire services, quickly enough to make headlines in over 3- U.S. afternoon newspapers that same day (Jeffrey). Roswell would never be the same."
