the crash: what happened?
| Corona
Debris Site located 60 miles northwest
of Roswell was the most was recorded with the most documented information.
It is the most crediable location. According to sheep rancher Mac Brazel,
he heard a loud explosion at about 11 or 11:30 on the night of July 4th.
When he went out to Foster Ranch to check the debris field the day after,
what he saw were numerous metal pieces filled in an area approximately several
hundred feet wide by three quarters of a mile long. Then he decided to collect
some of the pieces and with the advice of his neighbors the Proctors, he
took them to the Roswell sheriff Wilcox for further examination. The recorded
metal-like pieces like
the figures on fire-cracker wrappers, they were described
by Brazel as light and thin material like tinfoil, yet could not be bent
