No.

The "Roswell Incident" was an accidental offshoot of a military operation known as "Project Mogul". The idea of Project Mogul was to send high-altitude balloons aloft with sensitive microphones to try and hear sounds of Soviet nuclear testing.

The idea was a dud, but at the time Project Mogul was classified as Top Secret. One of their balloons, launched from Alamagordo, NM, crashed near Roswell, NM, and was tracked by the Air Force on radar during the entire flight from launch to crash. The farmer who found the wreckage didn't recognize it -- it had a lot of odd-shaped structures for amplifying sound and reflecting radar -- and called the county sheriff. The Air Force originally disclaimed knowledge (as the project was classified) but later changed their story to a crashed weather balloon (which was also a lie).

The legitimate government cover-up resulted in a lot of needless suspicions about UFOs and extra-terrestrials. It's all a bunch of nonsense.

Generally,I dismiss such stories out of hand.One glaring fact about Roswell makes me not so sure. A SENIOR OFFICER,not Bubba off the farm,but a very credible military man first stated unequivocally,that it was debris from a spaceship.This man would have known what a weather balloon was.He is then shipped out and replaced immediately with another officer,and the official story began.I still don't know if I quite believe it.But the initial announcement from an educated military man does give one pause for thought

I've been to Roswell a few times. I have friends who live there. I've been to the museum and looked at the evidence. While the evidence is compelling it is far from conclusive. I don't believe any UFO crashed there in 1947.

Toward the end of the Second World War, the Luftwaffe (German Air Force) was developing all sorts of experimental aircraft in the hope of coming up with something cheap and easy to build that would rob the allied bomber forces of their increasing superiority.

Most of these ideas were impractical, but a few went into production. One of these was the Messerchmidt ME-163, a compact, highly streamlined tailless airplane that went into action under the name "Komet."

This little ship was designed by the brilliant designer Wille Messerschmidt, and was built, surprisingly out of plywood and aluminized fabric, to save strategic materials. It was powered by a simple liquid fuel rocket engine that was the distant antecedant of the engines in the Space Shuttle.

The idea was that the Komet could take off from any runway or even a grass field and climb nearly straight up in a very short time to an altitude higher than the ceiling of any allied fighter of the time. Then the little ship could glide into position above a flight of attacking allied bombers and dive at a very high speed onto the formation of bombers.

The Komets were equipped with machine guns and could shoot down a B-17 or a Lancaster with just a few well-placed rounds. The Komet was very compact, being only about 16 feet long and having a wingspan of about 25 feet.

The chief drawback of the Komet was in the fuels used for the rocket engine. The engine used potassium permanganate and concentrated hydrogen peroxide. These ignited spontaneously on contact and burned violently. Concentrated H2O2 unfortunately also spontaneously oxidizes almost any organic material, including the pilot. There were many accidents and many fatalities resulting from the inflammatory nature of these fuels.

At the end of the war, there were a number of ME-163 Komets abandoned on Luftwaffe air bases, and the allies made an effort to secure as many of them as possible, both to keep them out of the hands of the Russians and to bring them back to the States for research purposes.

One of the research facilities used for test flights with the recovered Komets was what is now called by some people "Area 51" near Roswell NM. There were numerous research flights conducted out of that facility during the late 1940s for the purpose of evaluating the rocket propulsion system and the performance and usefulness of a small rocket plane.

The "mystery" of Roswell in 1947 was nothing more than a crash landing of one of these little research planes. The explosion was violent and the remains of the aircraft were scattered and distorted. The pilot's body was badly burned, and probably at least partly dismembered.

It was upon this scene that the uneducated and frightened local residents burst in the early morning gloom. They saw what was obviously a flying craft of some kind unlike anything they had ever imagined, and made of what seemed like some very strange materials. Aluminized fabric was actually in wide use in industry at the time, but was not familiar to large numbers of people.

Also, they saw a badly disfigured body, or perhaps only parts of one. All of these things are easily explained, as you have just read. At the time, and in the face of the national wave of fear that characterized the early years of the Cold War, some people let their imaginations run wild.

For reasons that have never been understood by those who were in the know at the time, the authorities saw fit to misinform and disinform the citizenry and continued to cloud the history of this simple event in such a way that it has become more of a legendary war story than anyone would have expected.

The silly, amateurish film of the "alien autopsy" that circulated after this was unrelated to the real events, and is really too absurd to be paid any real attention.

For more information on the ME-163, do an internet search on "ME-163." At a glance you will see why most people would have thought they had seen a space ship.

I saw a film long ago that I haven't ever seen since then that clearly showed a startling, approximately 7 x 7 inch piece of fabric-like material resembling aluminum foil that locals passed around and played with immediately after finding it at the crash site. It bent and reformed unlike anything known in our science. That material was definately not from this planet.

What could possibly cause a spacecraft, capable of interstellar flight, crash in Roswell New Mexico? Think the aliens buy their stuff from China? Or do you think they are all total morons? And mylar isn´t made on earth all of a sudden? Aluminium coated plastic foil (which magically "defolds" when folded) may not have been common in 1947 but it existed.

The U S released the news during the 1947 incident but after a day they recanted the story go to this web site this explains all the U F O stories included are also statement of captured humans by aliens.

Hope your concerns be cleared after going to this web site and how the U S government will not claim nor deny the presence of aliens in our world. The author of this web site used the law in obtaining declassified documents. Just go to the site. Good luck

No, a space craft from an alien world in outer space was never in our atmosphere, don't you get it, hundreds of people make a living fooling gullible people about this crap.

this is a complex, layered subject. i don't have the ability to be that concise. if you go to you tube and type in; most accurate investigation into ufos ever, it will set you straight. it's about 13:00 minutes in.

yes. it happened...Military and government officials are covering it up.

Im not talking about unidentified objects like kite or etc. Im reffering to UFO's from other planets of another galaxy or Alien.

Check this guy who is sentenced for 70 years in prison for hacking NASA computer files and top US organizations about UFO's :
