The Roswell Incident: What Happened According to “Legend”?
The July 2, 1947, an unidentified object crashed on a ranch in the town of Roswell, the county seat of Keys in the US state of New Mexico.

According to the first press release issued theJuly 8, 1947, the mysterious fallen object was a flying saucer! This revelation shocked the media and the most passionate, generating a chain reaction of plots and perplexities.

World UFO Day: an opportunity to clarify
It’s true, today is there World UFO Day but this is the scientific section of TechGameWorld.com and not the set of X-Files: if you are looking for new ideas for your plots, you will not be satisfied.
The story was actually clarified by the government and the army right from the day after the offending communiqué American. The alien remains found in the famous ranch were nothing but “very human” pieces of rubber, foil, wood and Nylon. No, it was not an art attack but simply the wreck of a destroyed weather balloon, used during themilitary operation Mogul. The latter – strictly top secret – involved mounting microphones on balloons in order to capture sound waves generated by potential tests of atomic bombs Soviet-style. This hypothesis is fully justified by the particular historical context: 1947, in fact, was the beginning of the delicate period of the Cold War.
