CASE 001CLASSIFIED

The Roswell Incident

Roswell, New Mexico·July 8, 1947

The most famous UFO case in history began when rancher Mac Brazel discovered unusual debris scattered across his property 75 miles north of Roswell. The U.S. Army Air Force initially announced the recovery of a 'flying disc' before retracting the statement and claiming it was a weather balloon. Decades of FOIA requests, whistleblower testimony, and declassified documents have kept the case unresolved.

The Nimitz Tic-Tac

Pacific Ocean, off San Diego·November 14, 2004

Commander David Fravor and Lt. Commander Jim Slaight were directed to investigate an anomalous contact that had been tracked by the USS Princeton for two weeks. What they encountered was a white, oblong object with no wings, no exhaust, and no visible means of propulsion — performing maneuvers that exceeded any known aircraft capability by orders of magnitude.

Tracked on radar for 2 weeks prior to visual contact
Descended from 80,000 ft to sea level in seconds
Accelerated from hover to supersonic in an instant
FLIR footage officially released by Pentagon in 2020

One of the most widely witnessed UFO events in American history. A massive V-shaped formation of lights moved silently across the sky over a 300-mile corridor, observed by thousands of witnesses including then-Governor Fife Symington, who later admitted he personally witnessed the event and found the official flare explanation inadequate.

Witnessed by an estimated 10,000+ people
Craft reportedly 1 mile wide in some accounts
Governor Symington publicly mocked witnesses, later recanted
Military flares explanation disputed by timing evidence
Two separate events occurred the same night
