American Alchemy / Jesse Michels ↗YouTube-hosted preview and player; not relicensedThe 1947 debris recovery on the Foster ranch north-west of Roswell, New Mexico. The Air Force's 1994 report attributes it to Project Mogul; a Pentagon scientist quoted on the show says he was told it was a craft of non-human construction. Speakers describe memory metal, bodies and shipment to Wright Field.
Read the full account
Two facts are documented: the Roswell Army Air Field press release of 8 July 1947 announcing a recovered "flying disc", and the Air Force's 1994 and 1995 reports attributing the debris to Project Mogul balloon trains. Everything else is testimony.
On the show the Pentagon scientist interviewed by Eric Weinstein says he got programme-level confirmation that the object "was a real craft of unknown origin" that crashed on the Foster ranch. Michels narrates that an EG&G manager, Alfred O'Donnell, told colleagues a saucer and a live being were recovered in New Mexico, and relays accounts of material sent to Wright Field.
