On july 2, 1947, William Woody saw a object plunging into the ground. When a couple of days later, Woody and his father, tried to locate the crash area, they were stopped by military personnel.
What happened here?
On july 5, 1947, a rancher called William Mac Barzel had found unusual pieces of what seemed to be metal debris.
After dragging some pieces to his home he showed them to the Proctors. The proctors told Brazel to report the incident to the sheriff George Wilcox, who reported it to Major Jesse Marcel, a intelligence officer of the 509 Bomb Group.
After that the debris site was closed until all wreckage was cleared. On july 8, 1947, Lt. Walter Haut issued a press release stating that the wreckage of a flying saucer had been recovered.
on july 9, 1947, some big newspapers like the San Francisco Chronical published this press release.
A few hours later the press release was rescinded an a second one stated that the flying saucer was a weather balloon.
What was found a the site?
Major Jesse Marcel and Captain Sheridan Cavitt were send by Col. William Blanchard to investigate Brazel's story.
Marcel inspected the large piece that Brazel dragged to his home. On july 7, 1947, Marcel took his first look at the debris field. According Marcel the debris area was three-quarters of a mile long and a few hundred feet wide. The bits of metal that were found didn't burn when Marcel tried to set them on fire. Along with the metal they found weightless structures, none very long, that would neither bend nor break.
On july 8, 1947, Jesse Marcel reported what he found.
The cover up
After Col. Blanchard saw the pieces of wreckage, he sent Marcel to see General Ramey, Commanding officer of the Eighth air force. Marcel went to Ramey with the debris. In the office of Ramey he placed it on Ramey's desk to show him what he found when the General returned. Upon his return, Ramey wanted to see the exact location of the crash site, so Marcel and Ramey went to the map room down the hall. When they returned the wreckage was gone and a weather balloon was spread out on the floor. Major Charles A. Cashon took the famous picture of Marcel with the balloon in Ramey's office. On july 9, 1947, the press reported that the debris was from a weather balloon.
All the debris was cleaned up and stored in a hanger, on the base. Brazel was escorted, later that day, by three military officers to the Roswell Daily Record, to change his story. He claimed to have found the debris on june 14.
