Æ' ®UFOsÆ' ­ are commonly called Æ' ®flying saucersÆ' ­, which the American Heritage Dictionary defines as Æ' ±any of various unidentified flying objects typically reported and described as luminous discsÆ' (272). Esteemed Idaho businessman Kenneth Arnold coined the phrase Æ' ®flying saucerÆ' ­ when in June of 1947 he saw saucer-shaped discs flying over the Cascade Mountains. It was in this year that these unidentified flying object sightings began to escalate. About one month after Arnold saw these objects in the sky the incident at Roswell occurred. July of 1947, Roswell, New Mexico. The spaceships of extraterrestrials flew over the site of a 1945 atomic bomb test site. During flight, one of these spacecrafts malfunctioned and crashed to the earth. Its entire crew was killed. As Charles Moore stated: various portions of this sequence of events were observed on Army Air Force radars and by eyewitnesses. Thus, alerted, the military acted swiftly; a cordon of troops was placed around the impact site; the wreckage and the small, humaniod alien bodies were removed; and all traces of the crash were expunged. (3) On the 8th of July, the public relations officer at Roswell Army Air Force issued a press release which stated that they had Æ' ±recovered a flying disk that had been sent on to higher headquarters for examinationÆ' (Moore 3). Within hours though, this announcement was repudiated. The general in command of the regional Army Air Force declared that the wreckage was merely the remains of a weather balloon. This latter story was obviously invented to conceal the recovery of an alien spacecraft. Government officials continued this cover-up by threatening eyewitnesses and local reporters with Æ' ±severe reprisals if they continued to reveal information about the flying diskÆ' (Moore 3). This was just the beginning of a massive cover-up, which attempts to keep the worldÆ' ­s citizens in the dark.
