CALL OF WAR 1942 WIKI

It was after the close of World War II, a time when nuclear weapons cast a long
shadow. “And with that, we were off to the races.” “A flying saucer was easier
to admit than Project Mogul,” Launius adds, a chuckle in his voice. “Apparently,
it was better from the Air Force’s perspective that there was a crashed ‘alien’
spacecraft out there than to tell the truth,” says Roger Launius, the
recently-retired curator of space history at the Smithsonian’s National Air and
Space Museum in Washington, D.C. The body of the story contained a dramatic,
memorable sentence: “The intelligence office of the 509th Bombardment Group at
Roswell Army Air Field announced at noon today, that the field has come into the
possession of a Flying Saucer.” On July 8, Marcel’s comments ran in the local
afternoon newspaper, the Roswell Daily Record, alongside a headline stating
“RAAF Captures Flying Saucer on Ranch in Roswell.” Accompanied by the sheriff
and Brazel, Marcel returned to the site and collected all of the “wreckage.” As
they tried to ascertain what the materials were, Marcel chose to make a public
statement. Ramey, commander of the 8th Air Force in Fort Worth, Texas.īlanchard
also sent Major Jesse Marcel, an intelligence officer from the base, to
investigate more thoroughly. Working his way up the chain of command, he decided
to contact his superior, General Roger W. Seeking answers, he contacted Colonel
“Butch” Blanchard, commander of the Roswell Army Airfield’s 509th Composite
Group, located just outside of town. On July 7, he drove it all to Roswell,
delivering the goods to Sheriff George Wilcox.

Brazel didn’t know what to do with the newfound items, or how they had landed on
the property, so on July 4 he collected all of the mysterious wreckage he could
find. The metallic-looking, lightweight fabric was scattered, shredded across
the gravel and sagebrush of the New Mexico desert.

It was, in Brazel’s words, “a large area of bright wreckage made up of rubber
strips, tinfoil, and rather tough paper, and sticks. “Mac” Brazel and his son
Vernon were driving across their ranchland some 80 miles northwest of Roswell
when they encountered something they’d never seen before. In Roswell, New
Mexico, exactly seven decades ago this month, the first little green men
arrived.
