A nearly 22-minute video titled ‘The Roswell Incident’ has been quietly uploaded to the National Archives, reigniting interest in the infamous 1947 crash.
The footage combines still images and motion-control camera shots sourced from the published Roswell Report, as well as various magazines and books about UFOs.
It opens with a shot of the book ‘The Roswell Report: Fact Versus Fiction in the New Mexico Desert’ and ends with a stark black-and-white image that appears to show a crash site, with debris scattered across a massive crater in the ground.
The video has flooded the internet, with users claiming the crater bears a striking resemblance to eyewitness reports, suggesting it could be ‘the first pictures of the 1947 UFO crash site.’
Major Jesse Marcel, who recovered debris from the crash, described the scene as ‘a large area heavily scattered with metallic debris from a single impact point that scarred the earth.’
Some viewers have also pointed to a dark formation on the right side of the image, claiming it resembles an alien body.
UFO expert Mark Lee told the Daily Mail that the crater image was likely included to add intrigue.
‘In my opinion, it’s either a hoax,’ he said. ‘Just because it’s been added to the National Archives doesn’t give it scientific validation. If it came out as a release from the military or Congress, I would take it a lot more seriously.’
Lee also noted that the ‘alien’ in the photo is nothing more than a case of pareidolia, a psychological response to seeing faces and other significant and everyday items in random stimuli.

The newly uploaded video appears to focus on ‘The Roswell Report: Fact Versus Fiction in the New Mexico Desert,’ a 1995 book that attributes the crashed ‘UFO’ debris to Project Mogul.
Project Mogul was a top-secret US military program from 1947 to 1949 that used high-altitude balloons equipped with microphones to detect sound waves from Soviet atomic bomb tests.
A 1994 military investigation concluded that the debris found at the Roswell site was likely pieces of a high-altitude balloon from Project Mogul, not an extraterrestrial spacecraft.
Despite this official explanation, the newly uploaded video has sparked debate online, with viewers offering widely differing interpretations.
‘National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has uploaded a video of the Roswell 1947 UAP Crash site,’ one user shared.
Another user posted on X: ‘Like noted UFO researcher Grant Cameron has stated plenty of times, sometimes the disclosure of the real deal is a purposefully placed needle in the haystack. Roswell: slow drip…drip, drip, drip.’
In addition to the debris spotted in the footage, one user shared: ‘Grey alien in the official video from the Roswell crash site.’
However, some social media suggested the footage ‘is B-roll for the Roswell Report, and the images being posted do not show the Roswell debris site, nor does it even claim it’s the actual debris site.’
Major Jesse Marcel, who recovered debris from the crash, described the scene as ‘a large area heavily scattered with metallic debris from a single impact point that scarred the earth.’ He said the debris could not melt or heat up and could not be punctured
One user posted: ‘It’s clearly B-roll for that Roswell presentation the government put together in 1996. Someone must have found this and uploaded it in the last couple of days.’
Others have suggested a dead alien can be seen in the image, pointing to what Marcle said following the Roswell incident.
‘I later found out that the pilot of the aircraft was a Captain Henderson, who apparently saw far more than just the debris from the impact site… he may in fact have seen the remains of a crew,’ the now deceased major said.
In July 1947, a rancher reported pieces of debris scattered over his land.
Authorities were called to the scene and, after investigating the wreckage, determined the pieces were from a flying saucer.
The local paper’s front page story reported that the Roswell Army field recovered a flying saucer on a New Mexico Ranch after metallic-looking, light but strong material was scattered across the land
The local paper’s front page story reported that the Roswell Army Field recovered a flying saucer on a New Mexico Ranch after metallic-looking, light but strong material was scattered across the land.
‘The intelligence office of the 509th Bombardment Group at Roswell Army Air Field announced at noon today that the field has come into the possession of a Flying Saucer,’ Roswell Daily Record reported on July 8, 1947.
The statement was given by Marcel, who was the first on the scene and led the investigation, which he determined were pieces from an extraterrestrial vehicle.
He also said that the material spread out from this point into a triangular-shaped area 200 to 300 feet wide at the end of the field, and 3/4 of a mile long.
Shortly after the ‘UFO’ discovery made headlines, the War Department in Washington released a statement claiming the debris was the remains of a weather balloon.
The US Air Force stated the weather balloon was part of Project Mogul’s airborne system invented by Columbia University, New York University and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
It was designed to search the atmosphere for weak reverberations from nuclear-test blasts.
