ROSWELL REPORT PA

Throughout the twentieth century and into thetwenty-first, the subject of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) has evokedstrong opinions and emotions. For some, the belief in or study of UFOs (knownas ufology) has taken on the dimensions of a religious quest. Others remainnonbelievers or at least skeptical of the existence of alien beings and elusivevehicles which never quite seem to manifest themselves. Regardless of one'sconviction, nowhere has the debate about UFOs been more spirited than over theevents that unfolded near the small New Mexico city of Roswell in the summer of1947. Numerous witnesses, including former military personnel and respectablemembers of the local community, have come forward with tales of humanoid beings,alien technologies, and government cover-ups that have caused even the most skepticalobservers to pause and take notice. In July 1994, at the request of the GovernmentAccounting Office, the U.S. Air Force completed a thousand-page report toexplain the events that transpired in and near Roswell in the summer of 1947.That report sought to bring all the facts to light, declassify all the documents,and present the definitive truth to the public. The Roswell Report: Case Closed is the follow up to that report andcontains additional materials and analysis intended to reach a complete, open, and final explanationof the events that occurred in the Southwest many years ago. While this explanation may not be astitillating as tales of unearthly craft and creatures, it is a fascinatingstory nonetheless.
