On July 8, 1947 the Roswell Daily Record newspaper announced to the world that members of the 509^th Bomber Group had captured a flying saucer. The news of this report sent a shock wave around the world and the little Roswell newspaper became the world's only source for information on the crashed saucer.

A day later, on July 9 1947, the Roswell Daily Record published an article contradicting its earlier story saying that the object was a high altitude weather balloon-not an extra terrestrial craft.

The Roswell Daily Record news articles were the most widely read publications on the Roswell Incident. Skeptics of the existence of UFOs believe the July 8^th news article was a classic case of misidentification: while believers feel it was an accurate report which was subsequently covered-up by the military on July 9^th.

The fact remains that The Roswell Daily Record article could be a simple case of misidentification or evidence of the biggest discovery in human history.
