Autor: Milica Radojevid II6, Mentor: Gordana Markovid Profesor engleskog jezika i književnosti
Summary
The Roswell UFO Incident involved the recovery of materials near Roswell, New Mexico, USA,
in July 1947, which have since become the subject of intense speculation and research. There are widely
divergent views on what actually happened, and passionate debate about what evidence can be believed.
The United States military maintains that what was recovered was a top-secret research balloon that had
crashed. However, many UFO proponents believe the wreckage was of a crashed alien craft and that the
military covered up the craft's recovery.
In early July, 1947,when a mysterious object crashed on a ranch 30 miles north of Roswell, the
Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF) issued a statement claiming to have recovered a crashed “flying disk.”
An article ran on the front page of the Roswell Daily Record. Later that day, RAAF changed its statement
to say that the object was a weather balloon, not a flying disk as they previously reported. This revised
statement sparked immediate controversy and has continued to be a topic of debate 60 years later.The
incident has evolved into a widely-recognised and referenced pop culture phenomenon, and for some,
Roswell is synonymous with UFO and likely ranks as the most famous alleged UFO incident.
Rezime
Otkriće materijala nepoznatog porekla u Rozvelu, Novi Meksiko, SAD, rozvelski NLO incident,
postalo je predmet mnogih pretpostavki i istraživanja. Postoji veliki broj teorija o onome što se zaista
dogodilo i veliki broj rasprava oko verodostojnosti dokaza i izvora. Vojska SAD-a tvrdi da se radi o
istraživaĉkom balonu koji se srušio. MeĊutim, mnogi NLO zagovornici veruju da je to bila olupina
vanzemaljske letelice i da je vojska zataškala to otkriće.
Poĉetkom jula, 1947., kada se misteriozni objekat srušio na ranĉ, 30 milja severno od Rozvela,
Rozvelska kopnena i vazduhoplovna jedinica (RAAF) izjavila je da je otkriven slupani leteći tanjir.
Ĉlanak je izašao na naslovnoj strani „Roswell Daily Record“-a. Nešto kasnije tog istog dana, RAAF je
promenila svoju izjavu tvrdeći da se radi o balonu za vremensku prognozu a ne o letećem tanjiru kako je
ranije reĉeno. Ova izjava izazvala je debatu koja se vodi poslednjih 60 godina. DogaĊaj se razvio u opšte
poznati kulturni fenomen i svakako se smatra jednim od najpoznatijih takozvanih “NLO incidenata”.
