The Roswell Incident: UFO Crash, Cover Up and Conspiracy
The Roswell Incident: UFO Crash, Cover Up and Conspiracy
The mystery begins when pilot Kenneth Arnold spots nine crescent-shaped objects flying at impossible speeds over Washington State, coining the term "flying saucer" and kickstarting America's UFO obsession. But the story truly takes flight when rancher Mac Brazel discovers bizarre debris on his New Mexico property.
When Brazel reports his findings to the Roswell Army Air Field, something extraordinary happens: the military actually announces they've captured a "flying disc" before abruptly changing their story within 24 hours, claiming it was merely a weather balloon. Major Jesse Marcel, the intelligence officer who handled the original materials, would later break his silence, stating unequivocally: "It was not anything from this Earth. I'm absolutely sure of that."

Welcome To The Oddity Shop, Where The Bizarre is Always on Sale. This week, your curator Zach has some Michigan UFO Sightings and Stories
Michigan’s skies have a mysterious side, and we’re here to spotlight it! We kick things off with the Kinross Incident of 1953, where an Air Force jet was dispatched to intercept a UFO over Lake Superior. Then, fast forward to 1994, where credible sources reported flickering lights and cylindrical objects over Lake Michigan. Was it mass hysteria or true extraterrestrial encounters? We explore the consistent witness stories challenging the mass hallucination theory and ponder the possibilities, referencing notable UFO events like the Zimbabwe sighting and the “toxic lady” case.
Finally, Travel back to 1966 with us to Dexter, Michigan, where unidentified lights in the sky led to a UFO landing in a swamp, garnering national attention. J. Allen Hynek's investigation, starting with skepticism and ending with belief, adds a compelling layer to these sightings.
