On this day, July 8th, in 1947, Roswell Daily Record launched a headline claiming the the RAAF (Roswell Army Air Field) had captured a flying saucer. A UFO containing alien beings crashed near a ranch in Roswell New Mexico. First reports said the aliens were decease which makes sense. The chances of surviving an extremely high speed impact are very slim, especially if your crashing on a completely foreign planet where the atmosphere is quite different than the one you are use to. Any other reports of the government finding one of the aliens still alive might be a bit of a twist to the truth, but still makes for an exciting read. I’ve read numerous articles and watched countless interviews on the subject. The link to the article above was reported today in the Huffington Post. This article mentions Chase Brandon, a 35-year CIA veteran who admits to being completely convinced the Roswell story is true after coming across a box, in the mid-1990s, containing pictures and written material on the incident. The box was stored in a special vaulted section of the CIA headquarters in Langley, Va., called the Historical Intelligence Collection.
Oh come on CIA! Just let us see whats inside the Roswell box, will ya?
Happy 65th Anniversary of the Roswell Crash! July 8th
The Discover Channel Telescope had revealed it’s first photos! Glowing spiraling galaxies are showing off to the $53M telescope that took nine years to develop in partnership between Discovery Communications and Lowell Observatory. The 14 ft. telescope sets near Happy Jack, Arizona at the Coconino National Forest under a big dark dessert sky. Let us not forget Arizona is pretty much between Navada’s area 51 and New Mexico’s famous UFO crash sight, Roswell. Judging from the pictures taken by the telescope, that $53M was way worth it.
