The Roswell case is one of the best-documented and most controversial UFO cases ever. In July of 1947 at Swobe Air Force Base in New Mexico, a small brightly glowing object was observed to crash land at about 11:30 PM.

He gave the pieces to the sheriff who decided to call the Roswell army field. He thought that the pieces could be from the wreckage of a top-secret project but when the army checked they found that there were no projects in the area on that night (Comptons Encyclopedia 2000).
