This Day in History

On June 24, 1997, the U.S. Air Force released a report titled “Case Closed: Final Report on the Roswell Incident,” aimed at dispelling rumors about the alleged UFO crash near Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. This report concluded that the debris found was likely from a secret government project called Project Mogul, which involved high-altitude balloons designed for spying. Despite the Air Force’s efforts, the Roswell incident continues to fuel speculation and conspiracy theories, underscoring the public’s enduring fascination with UFOs and the possibility of extraterrestrial life.
