Catch me up: Roswell
Whatever fell outside Roswell, New Mexico in July 1947 produced the U.S. military's only same-day 'flying disc' press release, a retraction, and seven decades of competing explanations. The corpus treats Roswell less as a case to solve than as the template: an event, an official account, a revised official account, and a residue of testimony that never quite fits. This dossier lays out the documented record and how the corpus uses it.
