Roswell is a source problem before it is an alien claim.

The Roswell Incident began with 1947 debris recovery reports and later became a central UFO case through official explanations, archival material, and decades of media reinterpretation.

Project Mogul used high-altitude balloon arrays to monitor Soviet nuclear tests and became the principal official explanation for debris recovered near Roswell in 1947.

Project Blue Book was the U.S. Air Force program that investigated UFO reports from 1952 to 1969; its records, conclusions, and unresolved files remain publicly debated.

1947 flying disc craze is tracked by MysteryAtlas as a source-backed mystery case for evidence inspection, explanation review, and conservative assessment.

On March 13, 1997, thousands of Arizona residents reported unusual lights crossing the night sky. The case is best understood as two overlapping episodes: an earlier wave of witnesses describing a large silent V-shaped formation moving across the state, and a later widely filmed row of bright lights near Phoenix that officials and skeptics associate with military flares over the Barry Goldwater Range.

The Nimitz Tic Tac UFO case centers on U.S. Navy encounters and released infrared footage later acknowledged through official Department of Defense and AARO materials.
