Something happened in Roswell, New Mexico, 60 years ago this summer.
In
June or early July 1947, a farmer found strange debris while working on
a ranch about 70 miles north of Roswell. He put some of it in a box and
drove to the local sheriff. Neither man knew what to make of it, so the
sheriff called Roswell Army Air Field, which sent two men to
investigate.
On July 9, 1947, the Roswell Daily Record, a
newspaper, printed a story with the alarming headline: "RAAF Captures
Flying Saucer On Ranch in Roswell Region."
Other than those facts, there appear to be few things people agree on regarding what has become known as "the Roswell incident."
Six
decades later, competing UFO enthusiasts promote their own theories,
skeptics dismiss the spaceship claims as outrageous, and the military,
which originally claimed all the fuss was over a weather balloon, now
sticks to its story that it was an experimental spy craft.
Escondido
resident Milton Sprouse, 85, said he knows what happened in Roswell
---- not because he favors one theory over another, but because he was
there.
As for the outrageous stories of mysterious metal, alien corpses and a military coverup?
It's all true, he said.
From atom bombs to flying saucers
Before
arriving at Roswell Army Air Field in 1945 as a corporal and engine
mechanic, Sprouse already had participated in an undisputable historic
event.
As a member of the 393rd Bomb Squadron assigned to the
509th Composite Group, Sprouse worked on the ground crew of Big Stink,
one of the B-29 bombers stationed on the Pacific island of Tinian,
where the two atomic bomb missions on Japan were launched to end World
War II.
After the war, the 509th Composite Group was reassigned
to Roswell, where they were renamed the 509th Bomb Wing. Sprouse
continued to lead the ground crew of Big Stink, which had been renamed
Dave's Dream after the pilot.
"There was nothing there but tumbleweeds blowing for miles," he said about arriving at Roswell in November 1945.

 In a word “Amazing”. There’s no other way of describing these Denon
earphones. They produce wonderful sound, are built to last and look
pretty cool too.
Newsmonster tested these earphones over a couple of months so that we
could pick up on those niggling little faults that only show up after a
lot of heavy use. These earphones are one of the few things we’ve
tested which didn’t seem to have any faults at all. We dropped them too
often, trod on them and used them in the pouring rain. Nothing seemed
to phaze ‘em. They’re as tough as old boots (probably because they’re
made of chunks of machined aluminium) and sound wonderful too.
