The Army Air Forces (AAF) recovered these materials in February of 1947. The big crash known as the Roswell Incident wasn’t considered its name until the 1978 – 1980 time frame. After the official crash in 1947 it was considered a crash of a weather balloon. This information didn’t stick to various authors because they wrote that not only were debris recovered but bodies as well.

Today, claims seem to evolve bigger and bigger with the possibilities and critics seem to keep saying the Army Air Forces have created a cover up. Over time this publicity blew over the media and suspicious spectators. This all came back up in 1994. In late January of the year 1994 researchers/declassification teams attempted to locate the official documents of this situation. The efforts of the researchers were focused on Air Force Historical Research Agencies (AFHRA). Maxwell AFB, AL, the Air Force Safety Agency (AFSA) at Kirtland AFB, NM, and the National Archives and Records Administration. In February 1994, Secretary of Defense William J. Perry was notified by GAO that he was initiating an official audit on the Department of Defense (DOD) policies and procedures of acquiring, classifying, retaining, and disposing of official government documents dealing with weather balloon, aircraft, and similar crash incident.

The Roswell Incident has changed severely since the 1947 official crash. The original crash stated that there was only one place form which debris came from. The original wave of the 1947 incident was first begun with 16 alleged sitings of UFO activity running in the skies. These 16 sittings were stretched out in a less than two month span of time starting May 17 and July 12, 1947. With these statistics some researchers claim that there were as many as 800 sightings. The only way researchers found different leads was by finding out what the incident was not.

An airplane crash was not one of the things that happened because the air forces had documents from the first crash in an airplane ever dating back to the first year of military flight. Since the information on missile crashes have been kept so organized over the years there would be no reasons to hold any of that information back today. Air force officials have found that a nuclear missile or an extraterrestrial craft had nothing to do with the incident in 1947.

The story all leads up to a weather balloon there was one object that had question the triangular radar. After further research the Model B was very similar to the Model C weather balloon of 1953. The difference was the aluminum in the model used a color paper under which made a color affect. The over all conclusion states that a picture can’t be used as articulate evidence in the visualizing of the scene.
