welcome to 2022

10
00:00:41,430 --> 00:00:40,320
it's a new year and a new season of

11
00:00:42,709 --> 00:00:41,440
unknown

12
00:00:45,510 --> 00:00:42,719
we're doing something different this

13
00:00:48,709 --> 00:00:45,520
year on unknown rather than each episode

14
00:00:51,670 --> 00:00:48,719
focusing on a new topic case person or

15
00:00:54,790 --> 00:00:51,680
current event we're focusing the entire

16
00:00:56,790 --> 00:00:54,800
year on revisiting the infamous 1947

17
00:00:58,549 --> 00:00:56,800
roswell ufo crash

18
00:01:01,510 --> 00:00:58,559
i know many ufo researchers and

19
00:01:03,029 --> 00:01:01,520
enthusiasts alike who sigh and shake

20
00:01:04,070 --> 00:01:03,039
their heads when they hear roswell

21
00:01:05,910 --> 00:01:04,080
mentioned

22
00:01:08,789 --> 00:01:05,920
it's an old case that's been talked

23
00:01:11,109 --> 00:01:08,799
about re-examined and beaten into the

24
00:01:13,590 --> 00:01:11,119
ground over and over again

25
00:01:15,990 --> 00:01:13,600
so why oh why are we spending time

26
00:01:18,550 --> 00:01:16,000
talking about roswell today let alone

27
00:01:21,670 --> 00:01:18,560
for an entire year

28
00:01:23,990 --> 00:01:21,680
2022 not only marks the 75th anniversary

29
00:01:26,310 --> 00:01:24,000
of the roswell ufo incident it also

30
00:01:29,749 --> 00:01:26,320
remains one of the most fascinating and

31
00:01:31,270 --> 00:01:29,759
confusing ufo cases in ufo history

32
00:01:34,069 --> 00:01:31,280
it's essentially the beginning of the

33
00:01:36,149 --> 00:01:34,079
government ufo cover-up conspiracy

34
00:01:38,630 --> 00:01:36,159
this story is packed with shocking and

35
00:01:41,109 --> 00:01:38,640
attention-grabbing elements like nuclear

36
00:01:42,230 --> 00:01:41,119
weapons police military and civilian

37
00:01:44,789 --> 00:01:42,240
witnesses

38
00:01:46,950 --> 00:01:44,799
claims of recovered alien spacecraft and

39
00:01:48,550 --> 00:01:46,960
extraterrestrial bodies

40
00:01:50,950 --> 00:01:48,560
and as we've seen during the past couple

41
00:01:53,910 --> 00:01:50,960
of years and as we'll certainly see more

42
00:01:55,030 --> 00:01:53,920
this year military ufo incidents are in

43
00:01:58,149 --> 00:01:55,040
style

44
00:02:01,830 --> 00:01:58,159
not only is roswell a legendary ufo case

45
00:02:03,670 --> 00:02:01,840
it's also a major military ufo case

46
00:02:06,149 --> 00:02:03,680
there's an awful lot to get into when it

47
00:02:07,910 --> 00:02:06,159
comes to the roswell ufo incident

48
00:02:09,990 --> 00:02:07,920
and because this case has been explored

49
00:02:10,869 --> 00:02:10,000
for so long and by so many different

50
00:02:12,630 --> 00:02:10,879
people

51
00:02:14,229 --> 00:02:12,640
there's plenty of evidence to strongly

52
00:02:17,830 --> 00:02:14,239
convince someone that what crashed in

53
00:02:19,750 --> 00:02:17,840
1947 was extraterrestrial and perhaps

54
00:02:21,990 --> 00:02:19,760
even as much evidence to sway someone to

55
00:02:24,790 --> 00:02:22,000
believing that what crashed was simply

56
00:02:26,550 --> 00:02:24,800
human-made military technology

57
00:02:28,470 --> 00:02:26,560
this case is wild

58
00:02:30,070 --> 00:02:28,480
but during the course of the year we're

59
00:02:31,670 --> 00:02:30,080
going to do our best to present this

60
00:02:33,190 --> 00:02:31,680
case to you as we try to do with

61
00:02:35,670 --> 00:02:33,200
everything else we talk about on this

62
00:02:38,470 --> 00:02:35,680
show and that's with a journalistic

63
00:02:39,750 --> 00:02:38,480
unbiased open-minded approach

64
00:02:41,030 --> 00:02:39,760
we'll simply present you with the

65
00:02:42,869 --> 00:02:41,040
information

66
00:02:44,710 --> 00:02:42,879
it's up to all of us individually to

67
00:02:47,030 --> 00:02:44,720
determine which evidence we personally

68
00:02:49,270 --> 00:02:47,040
find convincing or weighty then apply

69
00:02:51,430 --> 00:02:49,280
that to our personal beliefs

70
00:02:53,110 --> 00:02:51,440
it's going to be a fun and interesting

71
00:02:54,470 --> 00:02:53,120
year on unknown

72
00:02:56,390 --> 00:02:54,480
we're very much looking forward to

73
00:02:58,550 --> 00:02:56,400
bringing roswell to you and we're

74
00:03:00,710 --> 00:02:58,560
grateful to have you along for the ride

75
00:03:02,630 --> 00:03:00,720
as i mentioned we'll be diving into all

76
00:03:05,990 --> 00:03:02,640
sorts of elements of this case during

77
00:03:08,149 --> 00:03:06,000
the course of the year but for today

78
00:03:15,670 --> 00:03:08,159
let's just step back and take a broad

79
00:03:22,149 --> 00:03:19,350
the 1947 roswell ufo incident is the

80
00:03:23,750 --> 00:03:22,159
most widely known alleged ufo incident

81
00:03:26,070 --> 00:03:23,760
in history

82
00:03:28,149 --> 00:03:26,080
the name roswell is internationally

83
00:03:30,550 --> 00:03:28,159
synonymous with ufo

84
00:03:33,110 --> 00:03:30,560
and the incident is an important fixture

85
00:03:36,149 --> 00:03:33,120
in pop culture but here's something i

86
00:03:38,229 --> 00:03:36,159
always find fascinating about this case

87
00:03:40,710 --> 00:03:38,239
many don't even know that roswell is in

88
00:03:42,390 --> 00:03:40,720
new mexico let alone the basic details

89
00:03:44,309 --> 00:03:42,400
of the incident

90
00:03:47,190 --> 00:03:44,319
most people in the general public have

91
00:03:48,869 --> 00:03:47,200
likely heard of the roswell incident and

92
00:03:50,309 --> 00:03:48,879
they know it has something to do with

93
00:03:52,229 --> 00:03:50,319
the ufo

94
00:03:54,149 --> 00:03:52,239
but that's pretty much it

95
00:03:57,190 --> 00:03:54,159
but to summarize it sometime during the

96
00:03:59,509 --> 00:03:57,200
first week of july 1947 ranch manager

97
00:04:01,350 --> 00:03:59,519
mack brazil discovered an impact trench

98
00:04:03,990 --> 00:04:01,360
and the debris field on a ranch

99
00:04:05,750 --> 00:04:04,000
northwest of roswell new mexico

100
00:04:07,750 --> 00:04:05,760
he went to roswell to report his

101
00:04:09,830 --> 00:04:07,760
discovery to chavez county sheriff

102
00:04:11,830 --> 00:04:09,840
george wilcox who then reported the

103
00:04:13,750 --> 00:04:11,840
incident to major jesse marcel the

104
00:04:15,670 --> 00:04:13,760
intelligence officer for the 509th

105
00:04:16,710 --> 00:04:15,680
bombing group stationed at roswell army

106
00:04:18,949 --> 00:04:16,720
airfield

107
00:04:21,349 --> 00:04:18,959
marcel investigated and found a wide

108
00:04:25,830 --> 00:04:21,359
field of mysterious debris

109
00:04:27,749 --> 00:04:25,840
on july 8 1947 raaf's commanding officer

110
00:04:30,310 --> 00:04:27,759
colonel william blanchard ordered

111
00:04:32,550 --> 00:04:30,320
lieutenant walter hot raaf public

112
00:04:35,189 --> 00:04:32,560
information officer to issue a press

113
00:04:38,550 --> 00:04:35,199
release stating that the military

114
00:04:40,950 --> 00:04:38,560
had recovered wreckage from a crash disk

115
00:04:43,749 --> 00:04:40,960
this press release was later rescinded

116
00:04:46,070 --> 00:04:43,759
and on july 9 a new press release was

117
00:04:49,350 --> 00:04:46,080
issued stating that a weather balloon

118
00:04:51,350 --> 00:04:49,360
had been mistaken for a flying saucer

119
00:04:53,749 --> 00:04:51,360
major marcel and colonel blanchard's

120
00:04:56,150 --> 00:04:53,759
inability to recognize a weather balloon

121
00:04:58,390 --> 00:04:56,160
seems pretty unlikely especially since

122
00:05:01,189 --> 00:04:58,400
the military told the press that several

123
00:05:03,590 --> 00:05:01,199
weather balloons were released daily

124
00:05:05,110 --> 00:05:03,600
and the military has amended this story

125
00:05:06,950 --> 00:05:05,120
multiple times

126
00:05:08,710 --> 00:05:06,960
announcing in 1994 that the weather

127
00:05:10,950 --> 00:05:08,720
balloon wasn't actually a weather

128
00:05:13,510 --> 00:05:10,960
balloon but instead was a spy balloon

129
00:05:16,550 --> 00:05:13,520
listening for soviet nuclear detonations

130
00:05:18,790 --> 00:05:16,560
and announcing in 1997 that crash test

131
00:05:20,870 --> 00:05:18,800
dummies used in parachute tests

132
00:05:22,230 --> 00:05:20,880
explained witness reports of alien

133
00:05:24,550 --> 00:05:22,240
bodies

134
00:05:25,590 --> 00:05:24,560
that's roswell in a nutshell a small

135
00:05:27,830 --> 00:05:25,600
nutshell

136
00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:27,840
we'll crack that nut this year as we

137
00:05:31,749 --> 00:05:29,840
look together at the many curious and

138
00:05:34,150 --> 00:05:31,759
fascinating elements that keep the

139
00:05:36,629 --> 00:05:34,160
roswell incident prominently featured as

140
00:05:38,469 --> 00:05:36,639
a noteworthy case for ufo researchers

141
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:38,479
and keeps the general public forever
