The "Roswell UFO Incident" was about an object that crashed near Roswell NM in June or July 1947, allegedly an extraterrestrial spacecraft and its alien occupants. Since the late 1970s the incident has been the subject of intense controversy and of conspiracy theories as to the true nature of the object that crashed. The United States Armed Forces maintains that what was recovered was debris from an experimental high-altitude surveillance balloon belonging to a classified program named "Mogul," but many UFO proponents maintain that an alien craft was found and its occupants were captured, and that the military then engaged in a cover-up. The signers of this petition believe that ALL documents about this incident should be released for public (independent) scrutiny.
