1947.0709 Roswell weather balloon

On 9 July 1947, various newspapers report that the USAAF had corrected its press release of the previous day, stating that the debris recovered near Roswell was a weather balloon. Roswell Daily Record prints a front page article under the headline “Gen. Ramey Empties Flying Saucer”.

Web Resources

There is a rapid turnover of UFO material on the Internet. Many links to material on UFO websites quickly become out of date. Therefore, instead of giving many links to specific webpages I have instead focused on providing tables of references to discussion of UFO incidents, personalities and other matters in various books. Those tables of references to discussion in books can be sorted by author, length and date. I hope these tools are useful.
