Episode 62: The Roswell Crash — Alien Spacecraft, or Military Cover-Up?July 1947. New Mexico. The US Army Air Forces issued a press release saying they had recovered a flying disc. Twenty-four hours later, they retracted it. The object was, they now said, a weather balloon. That single reversal — extraordinary to mundane in one day — planted a seed of suspicion that has never stopped growing.This episode explores:* The original press release, the retraction, and why the contradiction still matters* Jesse Marcel's account — the intelligence officer who handled the debris and said it was unlike anything he had ever seen* Project Mogul — the classified Cold War balloon programme cited as the real explanation* The changing official stories across five decades and why each new explanation raised new questions* Bob Lazar's claims about S-4 and their connection to the Roswell mythology* Why the 2026 UAP disclosure environment has given the Roswell story renewed credibilityFor believers, the documented fact that the government deliberately cultivated UFO myths to protect classified programmes makes the denial of alien materials harder to evaluate at face value. For sceptics, Project Mogul provides a mundane but classified explanation that accounts for everything observed.What is certain: something crashed. Something was covered up. The exact truth has never been fully confirmed.Keywords: Roswell UFO crash truth, what crashed at Roswell, Roswell alien cover-up, Project Mogul Roswell, 1947 New Mexico UFO, Roswell evidence, US government Roswell secret, flying disc press release, Jesse Marcel Roswell, UFO crash New Mexico
