## Resource

In July 1947, something crashed in the desert outside Roswell, New Mexico. The military’s first announcement? They had recovered a flying saucer. Just hours later, they changed their story. It was only a weather balloon. So why the reversal? Why were records destroyed? And why have witness accounts of strange metal, secret interrogations, and even non-human bodies persisted for over 75 years? Was Roswell just a classified military experiment gone wrong… or the moment humanity first encountered something not of this world?
