Crash at Roswell
2008
Sold (Private Collection)
July 2nd 1947, Mac Brazel witnesses a bright flash on his ranch just outside Roswell, New Mexico. He drives out to investigate, only to find a debris field – the crash site of an unknown air craft. He immediately collects a few pieces of the wreckage and returns to his home, to report the incident to the media and local airforce base.
The airforce acknowledges that the debris is from an unknown aircraft and the media sensationalises this with the headline “RAAF captures flying saucer on ranch in Roswell region.”
The debris is quickly found to be only part of a larger whole, which crash landed a mile or so east of the ranch.
The airforce quickly replace the original press release with news that the debris was in fact that of a secret spy balloon known as Project Mogul. Military personnel who have handled the real wreckage are made to stand before tv cameras with tin foil and wood and explain that the entire event was a “misunderstanding”.
The airforce cordons off a larger area around the craft and removes three bodies; two are dead and one is alive. These individuals are taken to the local military hospital, where they are examined.
The social impact of this event quickly descends on the higher echelons of the US government. All military personnel involved in the event are told to keep everything they have seen strictly secret under pain of death. Nurses and doctors leave the hospital in a state of shock.
A top secret initiative is introduced to gather all information regarding this species and the implications of first contact. Known as Majestic 12 or MAJIC 12, this group of highly regarded military and scientific minds are brought together to contain and analyse this auspicious and ominous event.
The craft, bodies and one remaining living occupant are taken to Nellis airforce base in Nevada. The alien itself survives and communication is established.
The race are known to the government as the “gray” due to their pallid complexion. They are between four and five feet tall, slender and child like, with bulbous heads and huge almond eyes.
The grays themselves offer little insight into their intent, although some information is gleaned from the craft obtained in Roswell. On board are found a series of containment devices, where various embryonic forms are held. Tests on these aberrations confirm the presence of human DNA. The gray are creating hybrids.
This specimen came into the possession of General R.Thames, one of three or four men who were left to organise the back engineering of the captured alien craft. His team uncovered the propulsion system and fuel source of the craft – element 115. He took the embryo as a trophy, along with various other relics of the fated day at Roswell.
