In the annals of UFO history there are few names that hold the weight and recognition of that of the Roswell UFO Incident. Deemed both the most widely witnessed and most widely debunked of all UFO experiences, it has sparked great debate both within the UFOlogy community and within the general populace right up until today, 80 years after the events occurred. So what happened? Did a weather balloon crash land in a storm or did we have one of our closest encounters of the third kind?
