Roswell Incident Site

What the Show Claims

• ›Ancient Aliens suggests that the 1947 debris collected near Roswell, New Mexico was from an extraterrestrial spacecraft rather than a weather balloon. The show implies that wreckage may still exist that recovery teams overlooked, containing evidence of alien technology.

What Archaeology Says

The U.S. military initially reported a 'flying disc' recovery in 1947, later claiming it was a weather balloon. Decades later, the government revealed it was part of Project Mogul, a classified program to detect Soviet nuclear tests. No credible evidence supports the extraterrestrial spacecraft hypothesis.
