The Roswell UFO incident was a report of an object, allegedly a spacecraft containing extraterrestrial life , that crashed near Roswell, New Mexico , in June or July of 1947. Since the late 1970s the incident has been the subject of controversy, and conspiracy theories as to the true nature of the object that crashed. The United States Armed Forces maintains what was recovered was debris from an experimental high-altitude surveillance balloon belonging to a classified program named Mogul ; many UFO proponents maintain that an alien craft was found.
