Roswell: Man who investigated the famous 1947 wreckage said he found ‘indestructible debris not made by human hands’ in his newly revealed private journals

It was the summer of 1947, the US was in the midst the Cold War, scientists were on the brink of discovering plutonium fission and New York’s Grand Central Station hit a record of 252,288 passengers, but the most memorable event may be the crash in Roswell.

The local paper’s front page story reported that the Roswell Army field recovered a flying saucer on a New Mexico Ranch after metallic-looking, light but strong material was scattered across the land.

‘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,’ Roswell Daily Record reported on July 8, 1947.
