Unidentified Flying Object Crash Incident
In 1994, U.S. New Mexico Senator Steven Schiff requested an official investigation into the unidentified flying object that appeared in Roswell in 1947. The investigating department was the General Accounting Office, a subordinate agency of Congress. In mid-1995, the General Accounting Office announced that it had not found any documents about unidentified flying objects. Thus, the investigation ended.
However, many UFO enthusiasts believe that relevant documents were destroyed. They seized on the statement in the report that "many documents of the U.S. Air Force during this period were destroyed without authorization" and pursued it relentlessly. The report mentioned fiscal and management reports from March 1945 to December 1949. What made UFO enthusiasts question was that there were no more reports about unidentified flying objects after December 1949.
The fraud began when British TV producer Ray Santilli met retired U.S. Air Force photographer Jack Barnett on his way to the United States. Barnett claimed that he possessed a video record that the U.S. government had kept secret for 50 years. This 92-minute documentary included medical examinations of an extraterrestrial being by the U.S. military inside a tent, the autopsy process of extraterrestrials at Fort Worth Air Force Base, and President Truman's inspection of the place where unidentified flying object remains were stored.
One of the most shocking events for the U.S. government in the 1940s was the successful Soviet atomic bomb test. In response, one of the multiple plans implemented by the United States in 1945 was called the "Mogul Plan," which involved sending balloons carrying high-precision sensors into the upper atmosphere to detect shock waves produced by atomic tests. In 1947, a detection balloon crashed near Roswell and was mistakenly thought to be an unidentified flying object. Ironically, there was indeed concealment: the U.S. military lied about calling the atomic bomb test detectors weather balloons.
