This summer marked the 75th anniversary of an event in the U.S. state of New Mexico. An unknown craft crashed in the prairie outside the town of Corona. The military from the nearby city of Roswell got involved and allegedly transported the debris to the air force base there. 

Many have speculated about the true nature of what became known as the Roswell incident. The U.S. government said at the time that it was a weather balloon, later changing the story to a special balloon designed to spy on Soviet nuclear activities. 

No conclusive evidence has ever been presented to back up either story, leaving the field open to speculation and private researchers such as the late Stanton Friedman. A nuclear physicist with a long career in classified military projects, Friedman spent the last few decades of his life investigating unidentified flying objects and alleged extraterrestrial visits to Earth. 

Friedman, who sadly passed away in 2019, was the first civilian to investigate the Roswell incident. Based on his findings, which he published in the impressively well-researched book Crash at Corona, he firmly claimed that the craft that crashed was of extra-terrestrial origin.
