Alien Lore No. 252 - Google Doodle celebrates 66th Roswell Anniversary

By Jack Brummet, Alien Lore Ed.

Google's doodle today commemorates the 66th anniversary of the Roswell UFO crash in 1947. Many UFOlogists believe Roswell was an alien landing outside the New Mexico town.that went wrong. The Google doodle allows users to control a small alien through a series of tasks in a Roswell-like desert.

Conspiracy folks believe that that US military captured a crashed alien aircraft a/k/a flying saucer  in July 1947.  The Air Force and others insisted that the incident merely involved the recovery of debris from a secret surveillance balloon.

A press release issued that day by a local US military base says that the crash involved a flying disk.  But the Army quickly changed their story. 

In 1995, Ray Santilli in London claimed that he possessed film footage showing an autopsy being performed on one of the Roswell aliens. Santilli said later that the film was a reconstruction of what he insisted was real events.

Fifty years later (!) the US Air Force released 1997 231-page report--Case Closed: Final Report on the Roswell Crash--stating that the alien bodies witnesses reported seeing at the crash scene were actually life-sized crash test dummies.
