The following is a list of terms that may become confusing to some readers. Extraterrestrial Originating, located, or occurring outside Earth or its atmosphere: intelligent extraterrestrial life Alien an unnaturalized foreign resident of a country. Also called noncitizen 2. A person from another and very different family, people, or place 3.A plant or an animal that occurs in or is naturalized in a region to which it is not native Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) A flying or apparently flying object of an unknown nature, especially one suspected to have been sent by extraterrestrial beings 2. A flying saucer Witness One who can give a firsthand account of something seen, heard, or experienced: a witness to the accident One who furnishes evidence 2. Something that serves as evidence; a sign Eyewitness A person who has seen someone or something and can bear witness to the fact (American Heritage Talking Dictionary, 1997) All of these definitions are exact and significant to this research because sometimes it is obvious people are unaware of the true meanings of these words. The meanings of extraterrestrials and aliens have been commonly misinterpreted. An extraterrestrial is something, living or nonliving, which is not from earth, while an alien can be something from earth, but is not native to its surroundings. An unidentified flying object is something that has never been officially recorded. In this case, the witnesses refer to those who reported seeing unidentified flying objects around Roswell at any given time and an eyewitness is a person who viewed the crash on the night of July 4, 1947. William (Mac) Brazel and his father heard an odd sort of explosion on the night of July 4th 1947. It was described not like ordinary thunder, yet the worst thunderstorm the two had ever heard. Mac and his father went all around their ranch, not far from Roswell, New Mexico, searching for the debris, and had no luck. Considering it was pitch-dark outside, they decided to look for the remains in the morning. The next morning, when out searching for the debris, they discovered an object had scattered debris all over the Brazel’s Forester sheep ranch, which was consisted partly of aluminum foil-like material, some balsa-like wood, and silk-like thread, and none of the materials could be burnt or torn. The aluminum-like material straightened itself up when it was folded; the balsa-like wood contained strange slightly pinkish-purple hieroglyphic marks that were unable to be read and were in a straight line across the wood. All of the materials were lightweight and extremely strong, unlike any materials found on earth at that time. No one questioned recognized these materials as anything they had ever seen before. (International Masters Publishers, 1999; K. K. Korff, 1997) Some of this debris was collected and given to military authorities, while the rest of it was left there for others to investigate. It was originally described as a flying saucer or an unidentified flying object, but later the military explained it to be a weather balloon. It wasn’t a weather balloon, and the public knew this. It was obvious to them that the military did not want them to know what had fallen from the sky on the Forester Ranch that night. (K. K. Korff, 1997) William Woody and his father reported seeing a bright light with a flame-like tail streak across the sky. It lasted for some twenty to thirty seconds before it disappeared into the night’s horizon. It disappeared around 40 miles north of Roswell. (K. K. Korff, 1997) Two catholic nuns were writing in a logbook that night and recorded having seen a bright light plunge to earth. This light took its plunge north of Roswell. They recorded having seen it between 11:00 and 11:30 P.M. (K. K. Korff, 1997) Jim Ragsdale and Trudy Truelove were out camping one night roughly 40 miles northwest of Roswell. Suddenly a flaring bright light from an object roared over their heads. The object crashed within seconds into the ground northeast of where they were staying, which is north of Roswell. They both decided to go in search for this explosion and neither one had any luck. They returned back to the campsite and the next day they decided to leave as quickly as possible. (K. K. Korff, 1997) The nearby military personnel tracked something, as well. The radar sites operated by them continued to track an object through the night. It seemed to pulsate repeatedly and eventually exploded into a starburst. (K. K. Korff, 1997) Many different witnesses reported seeing different things. In comparison of the stories, it is known all were reported sightings north of Roswell. There were bright lights and all sightings occurred during the night. In contrast, some of the reported sightings by eyewitnesses recorded explosions, some were just crashes and some said the object just disappeared, and of course there were no government investigations of some of the sightings. The government’s attempts to investigate every aspect of the crash were not made. Their usual procedure was they would usually start off with what was known and work towards the unknown, which could have disturbed some of the investigations of the debris by missing something crucial to the search or something of that nature. The government doesn’t want to spend much time on the investigations of this sighting, because there is a great chance it is not real. That is extremely unfortunate, because if there really was some type of extraterrestrial sighting, not one person would know whether or not there really is some sort of life beyond our planet. If stronger attempts had been made, there might have been a sort of cracking of the code between our life and life beyond ours. There was even military proof something had happened that night when an object pulsated and them exploded into a starburst. It wasn’t researched to the fullest extent, which may have caused many problems; for instance, even the Air Force gave up its investigation stating, “The Study of Unidentified Flying Objects is adding nothing to the advancement of science.” This was not backed up with any raw material of their attempts. (S. T. Friedman. 1996) These events took place more than fifty years ago. Most of the people who claim to have seen this explosion were possibly too young to know what was going on. They could have also been too old to recall from their memories. Aging plays a definite roll in these investigations, because it is clinically proven that people who have seen something fifty years ago, as compared to five or six years ago will not remember things exactly as they are and sometimes tend to exaggerate or make up stories to fill in the unknown gaps. (K. K. Korff, 1997) Reported sightings from all witnesses contained only memories of what happened to them. There are no actual photographs, videos, or debris found for physical evidence. There was no real proof of the memories from the eyewitnesses. They could provide no authentication of debris unidentified flying objects or extraterrestrial life forms. (P. Klass, 1983) No one has ever described the remains of an intact ship or airborne vehicle. All of the eyewitnesses heard a loud boom and saw a bright light, but no one described a ship or a moving vehicle of any sort. The reports were of bright lights, flames with tails, pulsating objects, loud booms, noises from near and far, and flares, not of flying objects or saucers. (P. Klass, 1983) Extraterrestrial bodies were never described by any of the primary eyewitnesses. Other witnesses said of bodies in the debris they found, but they were not primary eyewitnesses to the July 4th case. Of those who did claim to see the crash, there were numerous body counts varying from not any to four dead and alive bodies in the debris. (N. Pope, 1999) There have not been any unidentified flying objects that have credible remains found and that are open for public or military viewing of any kind. Roswell Air Force Base is still not open for visitors, so it is unknown whether or not people have physical evidence of crashes, so it is assumed there is not. There are few, if any good close-up pictures of any of the sighted flying objects and there are only drawings, no real pictures of extraterrestrial life forms. This is odd because picture and video cameras are very common; almost every tourist has one around his or her neck or in their pocket. No bodies of extraterrestrials have ever been put on display, and obviously something of that nature would be put in a museum and recorded as a landmark of history. What makes some wonder, is why in the first place, does the government want to hide this from the general public. If, from the beginning the government would have actually released the correct information, the public could have and still can lend their hand in discovering new things about extraterrestrials. What makes the government want to hide things from their public? (B. Parker, 1998) The alien autopsy film, dated July 1947 shows the autopsy of the head of a female extraterrestrial, which skeptics say is either a doctored human body or simply a trick doll. Most experts were not impressed because the corpse was extremely like a human. It had two arms, two legs, one main body, and a head, which were all in the same place as a normal human. The main difference was the two large, beady eyes that contained only pupils. Although the video was made in July of 1947, it was first shown to the public in 1995 which is odd because the government usually wants the public to know about these types of things that could possibly change the course of human life on earth. The video obviously contained excessive editing, because it was extremely grainy and there were at least twenty-two obviously edited parts. One of the many problems with the autopsy was that the activities that are shown are inconsistent with those of a real autopsy. (International Masters Publishers, 1999; K. K. Korff, 1997) A good example is how the alleged pathologist incorrectly holds the scissors. The correct position to hold scissors uses the forefinger to steady the scissors, and the video shows the pathologist holding the scissors as a child would with the thumb and pointer finger through the two holes in the scissors. (K. K. Korff, 1997) The film-canister label contained a stamp with an eagle, which represents the Department of Defense. The odd thing is, the Department of Defense was not even around in June and July 1947. According to Ray Santilli, the film’s chief promoter, it said "… July 1947 Autopsy #2 – Head…” Autopsy number one was not shown. (International Masters Publishers, 1999; K. K. Korff, 1997) The cameraman who supposedly shot the autopsy footage was shown. It is unknown whether or not he really exists, because he could be an actor. A global search is underway to find and identify him. The man is chunky, with large glasses and a mustache that is curved downward over his mouth, and he was wearing a plain baseball cap. (International Masters Publishers, 1999; K. K. Korff, 1997) Extensive research shows that through comparing the different causes, effects, attempts, searches, and investigations, many of the sightings were real in some ways, but obviously exaggerated and changed around to suit the government’s policies. Why the government does not want the general public to understand what is going on in and around the planet is unknown. Perhaps, the government is holding back information as to avoid global panic with the public’s potential misinterpretation. Many of the claims surrounding the events on July 1947 could neither be proven nor disproven. Therefore, it is concluded that it remains unknown if the Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) crash sighting at Roswell, New Mexico on July 4th, 1947 did happen. Although there is proof the government is hiding Extraterrestrial information there, the public may never know what has actually happened without the release of all of their findings.
