Of course, Roswell is famous for being where an extraterrestrial spacecraft.alledgely crashed in 1947.

 

The government said the crash site debris was from a balloon used in a top secret US Army Air Force Project called Operation Mogul) involving microphones flown on high-altitude balloons, whose primary purpose was long-distance detection of sound waves generated by Soviet atomic bomb tests.

 

In 1978, retired Air Force officer Jesse Marcel revealed that the army's weather balloon claim had been a cover story, and speculated that the debris was of extraterrestrial origin. Popularized by the 1980 book The Roswell Incident, this speculation became the basis for long-lasting and increasingly complex and contradictory UFO conspiracy theories, which over time expanded the incident to include governments concealing evidence of extraterrestrial beings, grey aliens, multiple crashed flying saucers, alien corpses and autopsies, and the reverse engineering of extraterrestrial technology.

 

I myself once read a book written by retired army intelligence officer Philip J. Corso titled The Day After Roswell where Corso claimed that he helped oversee a project to reverse-engineer recovered crash debris, things like the microprocessor and fiber-optic technology.  The technology was then surreptitiously released into the private sector.
