In the summer of 1947, either late June or the first week of July, a New Mexico ranch foreman named Mac Brazel reported finding strange debris in an open field near the town of Roswell. An intriguing narrative developed rapidly: The material may be from a crashed alien craft, called a “flying disk” or “flying saucer,” now known as a UFO. The U.S. government soon claimed it was a downed high-level weather balloon and dismissed the alien crash story. Over the years, the events have become known as “The Roswell UFO Incident,” or simply “Roswell.”

Editor:
Fifty years ago, I was a Radio Intercept Analyst in the USAF Security Service. a ‘Sherlock’ with full access to Top Secret DINAR–A worldwide surveillance network.
My specialty was the Soviet Union.
In the Cold War of electronic intelligence-gathering, US surveillance missions got ‘cover stories’ –‘weather reconnaissance’, ‘navigational training’ or ‘mapping reconnaissance’.
Over the years, fifty Americans were killed, shot down by Russian MiGs.
Their loved ones got ‘cover stories.’
Radar tests had begun in 1947 for the grandest, most spectacular ‘black op’ ever conceived.
When an unforeseen ‘incident’ threatened to compromise the operation, America and the world got a ‘cover story’.
At the height of the Cold War, the most successful intelligence-gathering mission in history exposed the Soviet air defense system and history never found out.
Why not?
That 1947 ‘cover story’ had taken on a life of its own. And it’s still flying high.
