“Unlocking the Truth: Is a Secret Journal from an Air Force Officer the Key to Solving the Roswell Mystery?”
Interestingly enough, Marcel’s journal was written in a coded language that only he understood, signaling that he must’ve had sensitive information in it. Decades after the incident, Marcel told an interviewer that he believed the UFO that they uncovered had extraterrestrial origins.
To make matters more suspicious, there had been another UFO sighting weeks before. Kenneth Arnold, a fighter pilot, reported an encounter with more than one mysterious object which he described as white spheres that skipped “like flying saucers” through the air.
While the Roswell incident has become canon among alien-hunting sleuths, Arnold’s encounter was the earliest recorded UFO sighting in the U.S. But still: why was Roswell such a big deal and why are people still enamored by the legend?
“It all starts in Roswell,” Smith contends. “It’s the origin story of the UFO, the prospect of a government cover-up for alien contact. Science fiction already existed but things that passed to us through pop culture found their origins in government secrecy surrounding this strange sequence of events in 1947.”
