The secrets behind the world’s most famous alien story.
It all started in New Mexico (USA) in 1947. One day in July of that year, rancher Mac Brazel was out checking his sheep after a night of thunderstorms when he discovered a large mass of debris in a shallow hole several hundred metres long. Brazel drove into Roswell and contacted the sheriff, George Wilcox. Later, Sheriff Wilcox notified authorities at Roswell Army Air Field. Shortly afterwards, the military closed off the area, eventually taking the wreckage to a base in Dayton (Ohio).
