In July of 1947 somethings very strange crashed to Earth on the high desert plains of New Mexico. Hundreds of witnesses testified to seeing portions of wrecked flying discs as well as small alien bodies with the wreckage at two crash sites. The Air Force immediately cordoned off the areas and issued warnings to all witnesses not to discuss any details of what they had seen- which, they said, was the simple wreckage of a crashed weather balloon. They continued to debunk and marginalize all attempts to bring what many considered to be the truth to light for decades- until finally some high ranking men who were personally involved began to talk. Skeptics believe it was all hype to sell books. Believers ask "how many extraterrestrial UFO's have to be witnessed before the government comes clean? ". Portions of our earlier interview with the late nuclear physicist Dr. Stanton Friedman are included at the end.
