Truman And Roswell Incident

The Truman and Roswell incident refers to the events surrounding the alleged crash of an unidentified flying object (UFO) near Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947, during the presidency of Harry S. Truman. The incident has become a cornerstone of UFO lore and conspiracy theories, with claims that the U.S. government covered up the recovery of extraterrestrial technology or beings. The term "Truman and Roswell incident" is not commonly used in Hebrew, but it can be translated as תקרית טרומן ורוסוול. In Spanish, it is known as el incidente de Truman y Roswell, and in French, it is referred to as l'incident Truman et Roswell. The incident gained widespread attention when the U.S. Army Air Forces initially reported recovering a "flying disc," later retracting the statement and claiming it was a conventional weather balloon. Decades later, the U.S. government acknowledged that the debris recovered was from a high-altitude surveillance balloon, part of Project Mogul, designed to detect Soviet nuclear tests. Despite official explanations, the Roswell incident remains a subject of speculation and intrigue, with numerous books, documentaries, and conspiracy theories perpetuating the idea of an extraterrestrial encounter.
