For our first post we are going right back to the beginning exploring the headlines from The Roswell Record on July 8th 1947.

'RAAF Captures Flying Saucer
On Ranch in Roswell Region'

The San Francisco Chronicle on July 9th then reported:

'The many rumors regarding the flying disk became a reality yesterday when the intelligence office of the 509th Bomb Group of the Eight Air Force, Roswell Army Air Field, was fortunate enough to gain possession of a disc through the co-operation of one of the local ranchers and the Sheriff's Office of Chaves county.'

But then the Las Vegas Review Journal said:

' Reports of flying saucers whizzing through the sky fell off sharply today as the army and navy began a concentrated campaign to stop the rumors.'
