The infamous 1947 crash in Roswell, New Mexico, is undoubtedly one of the most talked about incidents in the UFO community. Although reports have been released which seem to back up the claims that it was simply a military surveillance balloon that crashed, conspiracy theorists still insist that alien spacecraft was involved and that aliens themselves may have even been recovered from the scene of the crash. These claims are once again being reignited this week following the unveiling of images which investigators claim show the actual remains of an alien recovered from the crash.
UFO specialists claim that a five-year study was conducted to authenticate the images and that they prove, without a doubt, that alien life exists. As part of the authentication process, specialists claim the photo was examined by Kodak experts and determined to be from the late 1940s, when the crash took place. Forensics experts also appeared at the conference that was held earlier this week in order to explain why they believe the image does, in fact, show an alien.
Even though the event organizers did their best to provide solid evidence, however, many are already calling it a hoax. The Mirror even questioned organizers on whether or not the event was simply a money making scam, considering the fact that folks had to pay $20 just to watch the event online. The organizers responded to these claims by saying that they actually lost a substantial amount of money on the event.
“I lost about $100,000 in the event, even though we had 6,000 people in the auditorium and a few thousand watching on the Internet,” said journalist Jaime Maussan, one of the organizers. Maussan claims he figured he would lose money from the start but didn’t care.
Still, many have pointed out some odd correlations between this event and the supposed alien autopsy video from the 1990s which was later proven to be a hoax. One correlation is that the name of the woman who was supposedly the owner of these new slides, is Hilda, which was the nickname given to the autopsy video.
