The Roswell incident happened 77 years ago to this day. What’s everybody’s take? Mine is that it was just debris from Project Mogul, and that the Army’s cover-up was not of a crashed spaceship, but of a secret program to monitor Soviet nuclear tests with a new kind of airborne sensors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Mogul

Wasn’t it just the newspaper article that was published today? While the accident actually happened 3 days earlier? Curious cause I almost wrote about it today as well for my /history cast but thought it actually happened a few days prior.

Not sure which newspaper article you’re referring to. Project Mogul launched its surveillance balloons four days prior to the discovery of the Roswell “crash site”, after which the flying saucer theory provided as convenient a cover story as any for what was actually a sensitive military ops to monitor the Soviets.
