Meanwhile, a man from New Mexico, Mac Brazel recalled finding weird waste on his field 3 weeks ago. A tin foil, rubber, and a thin wooden beam. He couldn’t figure out what they were. He wondered if they were related to the UFO craze. So he took the debris to Roswell’s Sherif on 7th July.
This drew the attention of an army officer, Colonel William Blanchard. He was the commanding officer of the Roswell Army Airfield (RAAF). The next day, RAAF released a statement saying that, the rumours of the flying disks had come true.
The US Army claimed to have received proof of UFOs. But the next day, the US Army Officials retract their stance. They said that the debris they were presented with was from a weather balloon.
As proof, photos of Major Marcel were released where he can be seen with the pieces of the weather balloon. After this, the news died down. The media assumed there was never a UFO, but merely a weather balloon. And the public loses interest as well.
