Roswell It all began in June 1947, when a farmer found in his ranch the remains of what he looked like a kind of futurist gadget. He told the police about it and soon the Government started to investigate the case. A month afterwards a newspaper published that the remains belonged to a flying saucer, which had been shot down by a military plain. Also it was said that there were some aliens on the flying saucer and that they were held prisoners. The Government, in turn denied everything and explained that the remains were those of a balloon, which had crashed.
