The events surrounding its recovery sparked one of the greatest conspiracy theories in U.S. history. Was it an alien flying saucer that crashed into the New Mexico desert on that stormy summer night? Had the Air Force been tracking an unidentified flying object for several days prior to the event? Were alien bodies recovered? The official government statement reported that the wreckage was from a downed high altitude weather balloon involved in a top-secret project called Operation Mogul. What is the truth? You be the judge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrian S.
