Corona debris

Roswell was one of many Army airfields in New Mexico when debris was recovered from a ranch near Corona. Researchers at Alamogordo Air Field, less than 150 miles (240 km) from Roswell, were launching classified balloons during the prior weeks.

By 1947, the United States had launched thousands of top-secret Project Mogul balloons carrying devices to listen for Soviet atomic tests.^[1][2] On June 4, researchers at Alamogordo Army Air Field in New Mexico launched a long train of these balloons; they lost contact with the balloons and balloon-borne equipment within 17 miles (27 km) of W.W. "Mac" Brazel's ranch near Corona, New Mexico, where a balloon subsequently crashed.^[3][4] Later that month, Brazel discovered tinfoil, rubber, tape, and thin wooden beams scattered across several acres of his ranch.^[5][6]

With no phone or radio, Brazel was initially unaware of the ongoing flying disc craze.^[7] Amid the first summer of the Cold War,^[8] press nationwide covered Kenneth Arnold's account of what became known as flying saucers, objects that allegedly performed maneuvers beyond the capabilities of any known aircraft.^[9] Coverage of Arnold's report preceded a wave of over 800 similar sightings.^[9] When Brazel visited Corona, on July 5, his uncle Hollis Wilson suggested his debris could be from a "flying disk".^[10] Hundreds of reports had been made during the Fourth of July weekend, newspapers speculated on a possible Soviet origin, and about $3,000 (equivalent to $42,000 in 2024^[11]) was offered for physical proof.^[12]
