The Roswell New Mexico Incident in 1947 is a highly controversial and enduring mystery in the realm of UFO phenomena. In July of that year, an unidentified object crashed on a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico, leading to initial reports of a "flying disc" being recovered by the military. The U.S. Army Air Forces initially confirmed the discovery but soon retracted the statement, asserting that it was a weather balloon. This incident has since sparked numerous conspiracy theories and speculations about government cover-ups and extraterrestrial involvement, making it a focal point in the history of UFO lore and conspiracy culture.
