This week marks the 65th anniversary of the infamous "Roswell Incident" in Roswell, N.M., that involved reports of a "flying disc" — later reported as a "weather balloon" by the U.S. military — that was found by Air Force personnel (watch a full documentary on the Roswell incident). And right on cue, new claims by a retired CIA agent are revving up conspiracy theorists. Chase Brandon, a 35-year CIA veteran, says he viewed secret files on the Roswell incident and concluded that the object found "was a craft that clearly did not come from this planet" (does Brandon say that a cover-up was attempted by the government?).
