anecdotal accounts that referred to bodies also described massive field
operations conducted by the U.S. military to recover crash debris from a
supposed extraterrestrial spaceship.
A technique used by some UFO authors to collect anecdotal

Fig. 3. An illustration of a
Project MoGUL balloon train
similar to one found on a ranch
75 miles northwest of Roswell,
N.M. in June 1947, which
contains all of the "strange"
materials described as part of a
"flying disc." Initial confusion
at Roswell AAF and delayed
identification of this equipment
was the first in a series of
unrelated events now known
as the "Roswell Incident."
