[suspenseful music] In July of 1947, something crashed in the desert outside of Roswell, New Mexico. At first, the military said it was a UFO. Then just hours later, they said it was just a weather balloon. But eyewitnesses describe strange metal that couldn't be cut or burned. Rumors spread about small non-human bodies recovered from the wreckage. So why the sudden reversal? Why the secrecy? And why has the story changed so many times over the last 75 years? In this episode, I'll break down what really happened at Roswell, the official story, the witnesses, the evidence, and the theories. By the end, you'll be able to decide for yourself, was it a simple accident or the moment we first discovered we're not alone? I'm Dr. Harini Bhat, and this is Hidden History, a Rewind original powered by Pave Studios. On this show, we're exploring some of the most mysterious events from history that have yet to be fully explained, and examining all the different theories from science to the supernatural and everything in between. From vanished civilizations and doomsday prophecies to paranormal experiences and unexplained phenomena, I'm looking at it all, and I want you to join me.
