In 1947 an unidentified object crashed near Roswell, New Mexico. Air Force public information officer Walter Haut stated that the object was a "flying disc." The Air Force quickly disavowed the statement. However, rumors continue to spread to this day that an alien spacecraft and several alien bodies were recovered and taken to Area 51. Ufologists speculate that the alien craft is still lying in a hanger at the research facility.
