Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: May 06, 2024This episode of Weird Darkness moves chronologically through ten of history's most frequently cited UFO encounters, opening with a 1947 debris field on a New Mexico ranch and closing with a 2004 Navy radar encounter off the California coast.In July 1947, rancher William "Mac" Brazel discovers unusual metallic debris scattered across the Foster homestead north of Roswell, New Mexico, and reports it to Sheriff George Wilcox, who alerts the Roswell Army Air Field. Intelligence officer Major Jesse Marcel collects the material, and on July 8th the RAAF issues a press release announcing the recovery of a "flying disc." The story runs in newspapers nationwide before General Roger Ramey holds a press conference the next day identifying the debris as a weather balloon. The retraction does little to end the speculation; decades later, ufologists raise claims of recovered alien bodies and a government cover-up, and in 1994 the Air Force publishes "Case Closed: Final Report on the Roswell Crash," attributing the debris to the classified high-altitude balloon program Project Mogul.From there, the episode moves to April 6th, 1966, when more than two hundred students, teachers, and residents near Westall High School in the Melbourne suburb of Westall, Australia, watch a gray, saucer-shaped craft descend, hover for roughly twenty minutes, and shoot skyward at high speed after a second object appears to intercept it. Students who walk into the nearby field known as The Grange afterward find circular patches of flattened grass. Australian authorities attribute the sighting to a weather balloon, an explanation many witnesses reject, and researcher Shane Ryan later interviews dozens of them for the documentary "Westall '66: A Suburban UFO Mystery."Next comes the Pascagoula Abduction: shipyard coworkers Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker are fishing on the Pascagoula River in Mississippi on the night of October 11th, 1973, when a whirring oval craft with flashing lights hovers roughly forty feet above them and three robotic, wrinkled-skinned beings pull them aboard for what they describe as a twenty-minute physical examination. The men report the encounter to the local sheriff's office, which secretly records their conversation while leaving them alone in a room, capturing Hickson's visible distress rather than any hint of a hoax. Both men pass polygraph tests and undergo hypnosis, and UFO researchers J. Allen Hynek and James Harder investigate the case and find no evidence of fabrication.A similar pattern surfaces three years later in Maine, where twin brothers Jack and Jim Weiner and fellow art students Chuck Rak and Charlie Foltz are camping on Eagle Lake in the Allagash wilderness in August 1976 when a glowing orb appears to follow their canoe. After Charlie Foltz signals it with a flashlight, the light expands and engulfs the group, and the men find themselves back at a campsite fire that has burned down to embers with no memory of the intervening time. Years later, recurring nightmares send the four men to psychiatrist and UFO researcher Dr. Raymond Fowler, whose hypnotic regression sessions produce matching accounts of grey-alien medical examinations aboard a craft, a story that eventually reaches national audiences through "Unsolved Mysteries" and multiple books.Military personnel take center
In 1947, the Army announced it had recovered a crashed "flying disc" near Roswell, then reversed itself within a day — a contradiction the Air Force didn't explain until 1994, when it revealed a classified spy program called Project Mogul. Roswell wasn't even the first: unidentified wreckage and bodies had been turning up for decades before it.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/RoswellWasntFirstFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: When you hear the words “UFO crash” you likely think of Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. And while that is the most famous of supposed extraterrestrial spaceship crashes, it is by no means the first. In fact, there were several taking place before Roswell became a household name. (UFO Crashes Before Roswell) *** But first – we'll take a look at Roswell itself… and what might have been behind the crash, the UFOs, and the aliens! (Behind Roswell's Aliens) *** Numerous travelers have gone missing in Nahanni Valley… and many whose bodies have been found, have been decapitated. It's no wonder it has been nicknamed “The Valley of Headless Men”. (The Valley of Headless Men) *** In 2016, construction in a San Francisco family's backyard unearthed a terrifying find… a glass coffin. And the history behind it tells a morbid history of the city. (The Karner's Backyard Glass Coffin) *** Former Green Beret Jeffrey MacDonald claimed that a gang of acid-crazed Manson Family copycats brutally murdered his pregnant wife and two daughters in 1970, but then he was found guilty. Did he commit the crime, or did the law convict the wrong man? (The Evil Deeds of Jeffrey MacDonald) *** It's understood that scientifically, alchemy – attempting to turn a substance or element into gold – is impossible. But then, there is that one incident that took place in the early seventeenth century that has some people wondering if that's wrong.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: January 2021This episode of Weird Darkness moves from a classified Cold War balloon program in the New Mexico desert to a Canadian valley littered with decapitated bodies, a Victorian child's glass coffin dug up in a San Francisco backyard, a Green Beret convicted of butchering his own family, and a seventeenth-century alchemist tortured for the secret of turning lead into gold.It opens with the 1947 Roswell crash, tracing how rancher W.W. "Mac" Brazel's discovery of wreckage on his Lincoln County property led Colonel William Blanchard's Roswell Army Air Field to announce the capture of a "flying disc," only for the Army to reverse itself within days and blame a weather balloon, complete with staged photos of Major Jesse Marcel posing with the debris. The story follows the account through the U.S. Air Force's 1994 admission that the wreckage actually came from Project Mogul, a secret high-altitude balloon array built to detect Soviet atomic tests, and its 1997 explanation that reported alien bodies were fallen parachute test dummies, then weighs those official conclusions against UFO researcher Donald Schmitt's objections and journalist Annie Jacobsen's competing claim that the crash involved deformed children deployed by Joseph Stalin and designed by Nazi doctor Josef Mengele.From there, the episode moves through six UFO crash reports that predate Roswell by decades, including an 1897 cigar-shaped craft said to have destroyed Judge Proctor's windmill in Aurora, Texas, and left a small humanoid body buried in the local cemetery; an 1862 wreck witnessed by shipwrecked sailors from the vessel Christine on a deserted Indian Ocean island, where they found twelve-foot-tall bodies with bronze beards; a UFO crash near Stavropol, Russia, whose three survivors reportedly died from being unable to breathe Earth's atmosphere; a 1941 crash in the Carolinas recovered by the U.S. Army during a military exercise involving soldier Guy Simeone; an 1884 debris field of gear-like metal fragments found by rancher John Ellis in Dundy County, Nebraska; and a wartime British crash investigated by journalist Dorothy Kilgallen, who died shortly after publishing claims that the recovered craft's crew stood under four feet tall.Next, the story shifts to Canada's Nahanni Valley, where at least 44 people have died or vanished since 1908, beginning with prospector brothers Willie and Frank McLeod, whose headless skeletons were found at their camp two years after they disappeared, and continuing through the decapitations of Swiss prospector Martin Jorgenson and outlaw "Yukon" Fisher, the mysterious cabin fire that killed Phil Powers, and the vanishing of Annie Laferte, who was later spotted wandering naked and disoriented near the Flat River — deaths locals attribute variously to the legendary Naha tribe, the valley's hot sulphur springs, or predators, while Dene oral history holds that the warlike Naha people simply disappeared without explanation.The episode then turns to 2016, when a construction crew remodeling John and Ericka Karner's San Francisco home unearthed a 19th-century glass-and-cast-iron coffin containing the preserved body of a toddler, later identified through DNA testing led by genealogist Elissa Davey as Edith Howard Cook, who died of malnutrition in 1876 and was accidentally left behind when San Francisco's Odd Fellows Cemetery was relocated to Colma in the 1930s — a discovery the Karner family says ended years of unexplained footsteps they'd heard from a toddler no longer in the house.From there, the story follows former Green Beret Jeffrey MacDonald, convicted of stabbing his pregnant wife Colette and daughters Kimberly and Kristen to death at Fort Bragg in 1970 after claiming a blonde intruder chanting about acid and "pigs" oversaw the killings, an account investigators concluded was staged using details from the recent Manson Family murders; the case follows his decades of appeals, including the 1983 bestseller "A Fatal Vision" that branded him a psychopath and filmmaker Errol Morris's later book arguing the evidence against him was mishandled.The episode closes with the story of Alexander Seton, a secretive Scottish alchemist known as the Cosmopolitan, who in 1602 convinced skeptical Swiss professor Wolfgang Drenheim that he had transmuted lead into gold using nothing but a wrapped powder and a goldsmith's crucible in Fribourg. Seton's success drew the attention of Emperor Rudolf II and later trapped him in the custody of Christian II, Elector of Saxony, who had him pierced with iron spikes and burned with molten lead in an attempt to force him to reveal his formula; Seton escaped in 1603 with the help of his friend Michael Sendivogius but died a broken man soon after, and the alchemical text he was said to have written, the Book of Twelve Chapters, was destroyed, leaving his method lost.
Colonel Patrick Saunders was the Base Adjutant at Roswell Army Air Field in 1947. He was on-site when the UFO incident occurred, and it was only many years later that he revealed to his son, Tim Saunders, what he saw amid the military scramble to retrieve the crash site debris and bodies. “We're not alone in the universe,” he told Tim. Tim shares what his father shared with him: Patrick's private account, the extraterrestrial bodies that he says were recovered from the crash site, and the description of those bodies. Tim says his father lived under the shadow of the secrets of Roswell for much of his life, and that sharing the truth was fraught with valid threats. Tim believes with absolute certainty that there is life beyond this planet. TAKEAWAYS Col. Saunders told his son that several bodies were recovered from the Roswell wreckage, having larger heads, eyes, and thin frames It's possible that the U.S. military developed stealth technology from captured UFO aircraft and communicating with these alien beings Col. Saunders assigned troops to go to the debris field in Roswell and catalogued what was found there Col. Saunders also told his son about a ‘foil-like' substance that could crumple and then return to its original, flat shape
In 2007, a writer named Lawrence Spencer opened an envelope he didn't ask for. Inside were military documents from Roswell Army Air Field, dated 1947. Duty rosters, memos, Top Secret stamps. And buried near the bottom, transcripts of interviews with a subject the US Army couldn't communicate with using any conventional method. No translator worked. No known language matched. The only person who could reach the subject was a nurse named Matilda MacElroy — and she did it without saying a word. The woman who sent Spencer the envelope was 83 years old and weeks from death. She had kept silent for six decades under threat of execution. Whatever she heard during those six weeks at Roswell, she carried alone. The people who knew her story were gone. The documents were supposed to stay buried. She decided that wasn't good enough. What Matilda described in those transcripts doesn't just challenge what we know about Roswell. It challenges what we know about Earth, about consciousness, and about every life we think we've lived. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
In 1980, The Roswell Incident by Charles Berlitz and William Moore was published that told the sensationalized story of a forgotten 1947 report by the U.S. Army Air Forces that they recovered a “flying disk” on a ranch in New Mexico, north of Roswell Army Air Field. This was also the year of the Rendlesham Forest Incident, which is sometimes referred to as “Britain's Roswell” (December 26-28), and the Cash-Landrum Incident (December 29). The Cash-Landrum Incident is significant because the witnesses, Betty Cash, Vickie Landrum, and her grandson, Colby Landrum, showed symptoms of what seemed like radiation poisoning after they reportedly saw a large craft, seemingly in distress, being escorted by as many as 23 Chinook helicopters. While all of the above cases continue to be discussed and continue to fascinate, a case that got a lot of attention that same year has been largely forgotten. It is interesting to note that it also involved what seemed to be the effects of radiation on the witnesses prior to the Cash-Landrum incident.In the September 11, 1980, Anderson, South Carolina, Daily Mail, there is an article (page 8 of the pdf) by Louise Ervin headlined “Jerry McAlister saw ‘something strange.'” Ervin, begins her article asking, “Did a vehicle from another world pay a visit to the Broadway lake area this morning?” According to her, “Jerry McAlister of Parnell Road” wasn't sure, but was “positive he saw something strange in his back yard” at 4:20 that morning, and since then, “the news media has beaten a path to his door.” Read more →Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/podcast-ufo--5922140/support.
fWotD Episode 2854: Roswell incident Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 26 February 2025 is Roswell incident.The Roswell incident is a conspiracy theory which alleges that the 1947 United States Army Air Forces balloon debris recovered near Roswell, New Mexico, was actually a crashed extraterrestrial spacecraft. Operated from the nearby Alamogordo Army Air Field and part of the top secret Project Mogul, the balloon was intended to detect Soviet nuclear tests. After metallic and rubber debris were recovered by Roswell Army Air Field personnel, the United States Army announced their possession of a "flying disc". This announcement made international headlines, but was retracted within a day. To obscure the purpose and source of the debris, the army reported that it was a conventional weather balloon.In 1978, retired Air Force officer Jesse Marcel revealed that the army's weather balloon claim had been a cover story, and speculated that the debris was of extraterrestrial origin. Popularized by the 1980 book The Roswell Incident, this speculation became the basis for long-lasting and increasingly complex and contradictory UFO conspiracy theories, which over time expanded the incident to include governments concealing evidence of extraterrestrial beings, grey aliens, multiple crashed flying saucers, alien corpses and autopsies, and the reverse engineering of extraterrestrial technology, none of which have any factual basis.In the 1990s, the United States Air Force published multiple reports which established that the incident was related to Project Mogul, and not debris from a UFO. Despite this and a general lack of evidence, many UFO proponents claim that the Roswell debris was in fact derived from an alien craft, and accuse the US government of a cover-up. The conspiracy narrative has become a trope in science fiction literature, film, and television. The town of Roswell promotes itself as a destination for UFO-associated tourism.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:29 UTC on Wednesday, 26 February 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Roswell incident on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Joanna.
The Roswell Incident Episode Description: In this episode, we explore one of the most infamous events in UFO history—the Roswell Incident. What started with a mysterious debris discovery on a New Mexico ranch in 1947 quickly spiraled into a media sensation and government cover-up claims. We'll break down the key players, the strange witness accounts, and the birth of modern UFO conspiracy theories. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, Roswell remains the ultimate mystery in America's fascination with the unknown. Episode Highlights: The Discovery: Introduction to W.W. “Mac” Brazel, the rancher who found strange debris scattered across his property. Description of the debris: rubber strips, foil-like sheets, and sticks—materials that baffled locals and sparked questions. Brazel's decision to report the find to the local sheriff and the Roswell Army Air Field's (RAAF) swift involvement. The Initial Report and Retraction: The RAAF's public announcement that they recovered a “flying disc.” The sudden retraction—just one day later—claiming the debris was from a weather balloon. How the rapid backtrack fueled public suspicion and set the stage for conspiracy theories. Witness Accounts: Eyewitnesses who claimed the debris was unlike anything from Earth. Former military personnel accounts of seeing “alien bodies” with small humanoid figures and large heads. The local mortician's story about the RAAF requesting child-sized caskets and inquiries about preserving bodies exposed to the elements. The Media Frenzy: How the incident became a media circus, with newspapers initially spreading stories about “flying saucers.” The role of television in embedding Roswell into popular culture and shaping public fascination with UFOs. The Government's Changing Narrative: Decades of shifting government explanations, from weather balloons to the secret “Project Mogul” surveillance program. Declassified documents and whistleblower accounts that reignited interest in the 1990s and beyond. Recent Developments: The emergence of UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) reports and Congressional hearings. Whistleblower claims of non-human materials and secret UAP recovery programs. Don't Miss the Wildest Claims! We close with the strangest stories and modern-day theories surrounding Roswell, from alleged alien autopsies to secret underground bases. Whether fact or fiction, Roswell remains one of the most enduring mysteries of our time.
The Roswell Incident, one of the most famous UFO encounters in history, unfolded in the summer of 1947 near Roswell, New Mexico. The story began when a rancher named Mac Brazel discovered strange debris on his property. Intrigued, he brought the unusual materials to the local sheriff, who in turn contacted the nearby Roswell Army Air Field.
Keith Thompson joins Whitley for an in-depth exploration of some critically important but little-known UFO realities. There is a LOT being overlooked and ignored. Why have 14 successive presidential administration refused to disclose? Why did the ENTIRE record from the Roswell Army Air Field disappear when Congresmann Steven Schiff got the General Accounting Office to look for it in official files? Why did Lue Elizondo say that the deep reason for the secrecy is “somber?” Keith’s website is ThompsonAtLarge.com. Get his book today! Click here.

Come along with the All Things Strange Podcast as we discuss sightings from 1947! You can find all of our wonderful links on the linktree: https://linktr.ee/allts The 1947 UFO flap, also known as the "flying saucer craze," was a period of intense public interest and media coverage of unidentified flying object (UFO) sightings across the United States. It's considered the defining moment for modern UFO culture and continues to fuel debate and intrigue today. Here are some key features of the 1947 UFO flap: Triggering Event: On June 24, 1947, private pilot Kenneth Arnold reported seeing nine silvery, disc-shaped objects flying near Mount Rainier. He described their movement as "like saucers skipping across water," which quickly became the media's shorthand for UFOs. This highly publicized account sparked a wave of similar reports in following weeks. Peak Frenzy: By July 7, 1947, hundreds of UFO sightings were reported nationwide, with newspapers featuring sensational headlines and eyewitness accounts. The public became captivated by the possibility of extraterrestrial visitors, while authorities scrambled to explain the phenomenon. Roswell Incident: On July 8, 1947, the Roswell Army Air Field in New Mexico reported recovering debris from a crashed "flying disc." While the military initially suggested it was a weather balloon, conflicting statements and secrecy fueled speculation about alien spacecraft and a government cover-up. The Roswell incident remains one of the most enduring UFO mysteries and continues to be actively investigated and debated. Explanations and Skepticism: The Air Force launched Project Blue Book to investigate UFO reports, attributing most encounters to misidentification of mundane objects like balloons, aircraft, or natural phenomena. This sparked criticism from UFO enthusiasts who saw it as a deliberate effort to debunk legitimate sightings. Enduring Legacy: Despite official explanations, the 1947 UFO flap left a lasting mark on American culture. It popularized the concept of flying saucers as alien vehicles, spawned countless books and movies, and fueled public interest in the possibility of extraterrestrial life. Debates and Questions: The events of 1947 continue to be debated, with questions lingering about the true nature of the sightings and the government's response. Whether it was a wave of mass hysteria or genuine encounters with the unknown, the 1947 UFO flap remains a significant historical event and a central piece of the ongoing conversation about extraterrestrial life.

Donald Schmitt was initially skeptical of the truth of the Roswell UFO crash in July 1947, but after interviewing hundreds of eyewitnesses, he became convinced that the incident was genuine and involved an extraterrestrial spacecraft. Eyewitnesses included Walter Haut, the public affairs officer at Roswell Army Air Field, who released the initial news report about the crash of a flying saucer. Haut posthumously confessed that the US Army Air Force had covered up the truth about the extraterrestrial origins of the retrieved craft. Pursuing the investigative trail further, Schmitt discovered that the crashed Roswell spacecraft was taken to Wright Patterson Air Force Base (formerly Wright Field) for secret reverse engineering projects. He explains how reverse engineering of retrieved alien spacecraft has been a top priority and has involved multiple military and corporate entities. Today, Schmitt is lobbying members of the US Congress to hold hearings on the Roswell and other UFO crash retrieval incidents and to disclose the truth to the American public. Donald Schmitt is the co-author of seven best-selling books dealing with UFO crash retrieval incidents and reverse engineering facilities. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/exopolitics/support
On July 8, 1947 Public Information Officer Walter Haut of the Roswell Army Air Field in New Mexico issued a press release indicating that a flying saucer had been found in the desert. By the next day, the Army had changed their tune, stating the object had actually been a weather balloon, but it was too late.Rumors that a UFO had crashed in the area, and that an alien body was recovered from the wreckage, spread fast. Ever since, Roswell has been synonymous with UFOs. The city of Roswell has embraced their status as UFO ground zero and hosts an annual festival that attracts visitors from around the world.Support the show
The announcement on July 8, 1947 by the intelligence office at Roswell Army Air Field that they had recovered a flying saucer from a ranch in the area quickly faded from the public consciousness after it was announced the next day that what was found was actually a weather balloon. It wasn't until 1978 that the story was resurrected after Stanton Friedman stumbled upon it. After that, it spawned a cottage industry that many people profited from with books, speaking engagements, television appearances, videos and assorted merchandise. The original story of a flying saucer being recovered grew until there were two crash sites, recovered alien bodies, and even a living alien. Much of this is now doubtful as the credibility of the people who made those sorts of claims has been called into question, as is reported in detail on the website, roswellfiles.com. The thing about the Roswell case is, once one piece of testimony or evidence is put into question or totally debunked, someone comes along with “new evidence” that is promised to be “the smoking gun.” Read more →
Today is the 75th anniversary of the creation of the CIA, Department of Defense, and National Security Council. But what really sparked their creation in the first place? Is it a coincidence that just weeks prior to President Truman's signing of the National Security Act, the Roswell Army Air Field reported they recovered a “flying disc” that had crashed in the New Mexico desert? The true history of July 26 sparked an Edge of Wonder deep dive that's out of this world, and today's live show is all about it.

On a stormy night 75 years ago, something crashed in the desert near Roswell, New Mexico. The military says it was a balloon carrying top-secret instruments for sniffing out atomic-bomb tests in the Soviet Union. But others say it was a flying saucer carrying visitors from another world — the most famous and persistent UFO story to date. Saucer mania gripped the country that summer. Thousands of sightings were reported. And Roswell was a perfect place for a close encounter. Robert Goddard had tested his rockets just outside town during the 1930s. The first atomic bomb was detonated not a hundred miles away, the army was testing V-2 missiles at White Sands, and the local air base housed the world's only atomic-bomb group. The story of the Roswell Incident broke on July 8th, 1947. Roswell Army Air Field issued a press release saying it had recovered a “flying disk” from a ranch near town. The army soon backtracked, saying the disk was nothing more than a weather balloon. The story died, but it didn't rest in peace. Decades later, the base intelligence officer said he really had discovered a flying saucer. He said it was fashioned of a thin, tough metal covered with odd markings. Later versions of the story said investigators had recovered alien bodies, too. It's a great story, but scientists will tell you it's only that — a story — and we'll tell you why tomorrow — on Star Date. Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

In July of 1947 the front papers all across the west coast reported the US military had recovered a crashed flying saucer only to recant, owing the crashed material to nothing more than a weather balloon. The story would remain dormant for 40 years until UFO researchers discovered the event, revisited it, and unearthed a treasure trove of eye-witness account to perhaps the biggest coverup off all time. The truth becomes muddled with contradictory accounts and witnesses testimony that can't be verified. What is the real story of the 1947 event.

The "Roswell Incident" refers to an alleged U.F.O. crash on a ranch near Roswell New Mexico (Actually closer to Corona, New Mexico) where on July 08, 1947 the Roswell Army Air Field issued a press release stating they had recovered a "flying disc" The Army abruptly denied the claims and instead insisted that the debris recovered was nothing more than a weather balloon. Join N.W.C.S. as we discuss the "Roswell Incident" and have a few laughs and shenanigans along the way.
Enter my mind and see the universe through the eyes of a madman and discover the location of the alien slash future technology robbed from the crash at Roswell Army Air Field in 1947 and learn where it has been taken.See yourself as a virus on the face of the planet, and having understood the Quantum Echo Hypothesis, realize that by the next episode, you will know the final physics to unlocking the Higgs Quantum Field and then you will know the musical nature of quantum physics and when you know the music playing in your mind you will know it isn't the music you hear, it's the madness of sonic gravity.
Enter my mind and see the world as I do.How did the troops at Roswell Army Air Field remove gray four-fingered crash test dummies from the crash site. Eye witnesses say they were aliens, but in 1997, the Air Force said the Soldiers removed crash test dummies from the wreckage, but how is that possible when the Roswell crash occurred in 1947 and anthropomorphic crash weren't invented until 1949 . . . by one of the inner circle of government scientists who worked on the Manhattan Project and was on the government payroll and in a position to know what they found there.And whether it's an alien crash or an American craft sent to us from the future, where is the wreckage now . . . because when you look at the universe through the eyes of a madman, you will see everything we need to know to know exactly where it is, and where it has been since 1947.

The International UFO Museum & Research Center at Roswell, New Mexico was organized to inform the public about what has come to be known as "The Roswell Incident." The Museum is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation dedicated to the collection and preservation of materials and information in written, audio and visual formats that are related to the 1947 Roswell Incident and other unexplained phenomena related to UFO research. The Museum endeavors to be the leading information source in history, science and research about UFO events worldwide. The International UFO Museum's constituents are committed to gathering and disbursing to all interested parties in the most qualified and up-to-date information available. The Crash Near Roswell: An unidentified flying object crashed on a ranch northwest of Roswell, New Mexico, sometime during the first week of July 1947. Rancher W.W. “Mack” Brazel said later he found debris from the crash as he and the son of Floyd and Loretta Proctor rode their horses out to check on sheep after a fierce thunderstorm the night before. Brazel said that as they rode along, he began to notice unusual pieces of what seemed to be metal debris scattered over a large area. Upon further inspection, he said, he saw a shallow trench several hundred feet long had been gouged into the ground. Brazel said he was struck by the unusual properties of the debris and, after dragging large pieces of it to a shed, he took some of it over to show the Proctors. Mrs. Proctor, who later moved from the ranch to a house closer to town, said she remembers Brazel showing up with the strange material. The Proctors told Brazel he might be holding wreckage from an alien spacecraft — a number of UFO sightings had been reported in the United States that summer — or a government project, and that he should report the incident to Chaves County Sheriff George Wilcox. A day or two later, Brazel drove into Roswell, the county seat, and reported the incident to Wilcox, who reported it to Maj. Jesse Marcel, intelligence officer for the 509th Bomb Group, stationed at Roswell Army Air Field. In their book, A History of UFO Crashes, UFO researchers Don Schmitt and Kevin Randle say their research shows military radar had been tracking an unidentified flying object in the skies over southern New Mexico for four days. On the night of July 4, 1947, radar indicated the object had gone down about 30-40 miles northwest of Roswell. The book says eyewitness William Woody, who lived east of Roswell, said he remembered being outside with his father the night of July 4, 1947, when he saw a brilliant object plunge to the ground. The debris site was closed for several days while the wreckage was cleared, and Schmitt and Randle say that when Woody and his father tried to locate the area of the crash they had seen, Woody said they were stopped by military personnel who ordered them out of the area.

Episode 86 of the Paranormal Mysteries Podcast:In July 1947, a rancher named “Mac” Brazel found wreckage on his sizable property in Lincoln County. Several “flying disc” and “flying saucer” stories had already appeared in the national press that summer, leading Brazel to believe the wreckage, which included rubber strips, tinfoil, and thick paper, might be something of that ilk. He brought some of the material to Sheriff George Wilcox of Roswell, who in turn brought it to the attention of Colonel William Blanchard, the commanding officer of the Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF).The next day, the RAAF released a statement, writing that, “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's office of Chaves County.” According to that statement, Major Jesse Marcel, an intelligence officer, oversaw the RAAF’s investigation of the crash site and the recovered materials.The following day, the Roswell Daily Record ran a story about the crash and the RAAF’s astonishing claim. But U.S. Army officials quickly reversed themselves on the “flying saucer” claim, stating that the found debris was actually from a weather balloon, releasing photographs of Major Marcel posing with pieces of the supposed weather balloon debris as proof.For decades, many UFO researchers were skeptical of the government’s changed account, and in 1994, the U.S. Air Force released a report in which they conceded that the “weather balloon” story had been bogus. According to the 1994 explanation, the wreckage came from a spy device created for an until-then classified project called Project Mogul. The device, a connected string of high-altitude balloons equipped with microphones, was designed to float furtively over the USSR, detecting sound waves at a stealth distance.These balloons would ostensibly monitor the Soviet government’s attempts at testing their own atomic bomb. Because Project Mogul was a covert operation, the new report claimed, a false explanation of the crash was necessary to prevent giving away details of their spy work.Podcast Source:https://www.spreaker.com/show/paranormal-mysteries-podcastContact:Email: paranormalmysteriespodcast@gmail.comWebsite: http://paranormalmysteriespodcast.comSupport The Podcast:Patreon Membership:https://www.patreon.com/join/paranormalmysteries?One-Time Donation:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/paranormalSpecial Thanks to All of Our Wonderful Supporters:Trista, Robin, Marjorie, Clyde, Kathy, Brett, Cassandra, Jan, Sarah F, Skyler, Courtney B, Worsenary, Dave, Kortnie W, Juli, Tiffany, Tom, Stephen, Alysa, Mystica, Carley, Kyriakos, Eunecka, Mary, Andrew, Sarah, Angie, Nick, James S, Molybdenum, Mattie, KA, Collin, James P, Chris, Christy, Buster, Michael, Kim, Amanda, Ivonne, Santiago, Angelo, Jordan, Andrea, Colt, Analyssa, Kasey, Sonia, Kadee, Pam, Christina, Seth, Lisa, Kevin, Breeann, Raymond, Florencia, Katie, Arely, Haze, Stella, Lydia, Shannonlee, Karl, Whitney, T.F., Caleb, Kristin, Jess, Kyle, Valerie, Ashley, Sarah, Ruben, Lara, Kristine, Benjamin, Fenway, Evelyn, Luz, Marjolaine, Olga, Abigail, Kirby, Tia, Lucie, Lesley, Laura, Karen, Someone, Nhimo, Lunico, Aaron, Audrey, Lisa, Patricia, David, Tae, Olga, Kat, Eddie, Anonymous BMC Donator, Johnny, Pam, Lobalug, Kaye, Friendly Local Cryptid, Tana, Von, Marijim, Brian, Mark, Warren, Maria, Questt, Danielle, Joshua, Angela, Heather, Christina, Rudy, Jessica, Ruby, DarioSources referenced in today’s episode:* US National Archives – Roswell Interviews (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbIuTJjGFrk&list=WL&index=6&t=1516s)Social Media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/paranormalmysteriespodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/paranormalmysteriespodcastTwitter: https://twitter.com/ParaMysteryPod

Indeed, there is no shortage of debatable evidence and probable hoaxes when it comes to the subject of UFOs and aliens. Yet as with any cultural phenomenon, there are those prime examples that rise to the top to become forever cemented into our collective consciousness. One such artifact is a 17-minute black-and-white film that became so iconic it is merely, and famously known only as "Alien Autopsy." The film sequence purported to show government or military Medical Examiners performing an autopsy on an alien lifeform supposedly recovered along with debris from an equally famous event, the 1947 Roswell UFO crash. One could argue that the film has become more well-known than the incident upon which it was supposedly based. The first public screening of the film occurred on May 5, 1995, in a small theater at the Museum of London. The organizer of the event who had possession of the film at the time, a music and television producer named Ray Santilli, had invited the Press, UFOlogists, and even clergy members to witness the extraordinary footage to generate buzz and controversy. Accomplishing both aims, news outlets around the world picked up on the story. But the biggest sensation sparked on August 28th of that year, when Fox Television aired a documentary Special featuring the footage titled, Alien Autopsy: Fact or Fiction. The Special was re-broadcast two more times, with each one generating millions of more viewers. The backstory Santilli stated then was that he purchased the footage from a retired military cameraman who shot the film during the actual autopsy at the Roswell Army Air Field. However, just before the release of a 2006 British comedy called Alien Autopsy, which dramatized the story of the events surrounding the film, Santilli admitted that the film he and his partner Gary Shoefield released was a recreation of the original footage he acquired in 1992. He claims that in the time he first viewed the 22 original reels and the 1995 release, the film deteriorated so severely that his team needed to recreate the shots based on what he had seen. But Santilli also insists that they spliced frames from the original footage into the film they released – that an authentic, 1947 autopsy film existed. But that is his story, and as we all know, there are always more sides to one. Enter tonight's guest, magician and media producer Spyros Melaris. Spyros has a convincing story of his own, that he and his friend, sculptor and Special Effects artist John Humphreys created the film and everything seen in it – that there is no authentic autopsy film. Whatever you may decide after hearing part one of our interview with Spyros, one thing is sure: the Alien Autopsy film captured the imagination of the world and might be one of the greatest hoaxes of all time.

Denice Marcel is the granddaughter of Jesse Marcel, the intelligence officer at the Roswell Army Air Field in 1947 who was the first person from the military to handle the debris found in the desert outside of Roswell which some believe was an extraterrestrial spacecraft. Denice's father, Jesse Marcel Jr., also handled some of the material, and both Jesse Sr. and Jesse Jr. say that the materials were not merely from weather or test balloons. They both believe the material was not manufactured on this planet. Denice grew up with the Roswell mystery and has been interested in the topic of UFOs her entire life. She has recently accepted the position as the California Mutual UFO Network's Los Angeles section director. We talk to Denice about what it was like growing up in the Marcel family and her new position with MUFON. Visit Los Angeles MUFON at www.MUFONLosAngeles.com.
