This dissertation reviews the real events that started on July 7th 1947 in Roswell New Mexico regarding extraterrestrial contact. In reviewing this conspiracy theory, I provide an argument about the actual events that occurred in Area 51. The time frame of this theory starts on the early 1940’s; and believes about government secrecy still remain today. By using analysis of the research and examining photos and articles as well as listening to the radio reports of the events, I intend to show that indeed: aliens did have contact with humans in 1947 and the government did not made the fact known to the public. Data has also been collected from interviews and archives of the event. This theory is the life of many, and part of the reason many Americans do not trust the government. America as a democracy is believed to have access to all media and findings. UFO’s are just another secret behind the closed gates of Area 51.

The Air Force started taking charge after the first few sightings. In 1848, Nathan Twining an Air Force General established the first Project designed to collect, evaluate, revise and distribute within the government only information regarding the sightings. This project was called SIGN, and it was
