In this episode of Disturbing History, Brian dives deep into the origins of America’s most enduring UFO mystery—beginning with rancher Mac Brazel, who discovered strange debris scattered across his land after a violent storm.
When he reported it, the story quickly escalated to the highest levels of the military. Major Jesse Marcel, Colonel William Blanchard, and General Roger Ramey all played pivotal roles in the bizarre flip-flop that followed. Decades later, Marcel would claim he had been ordered to participate in a cover-up.We follow the trail from funeral home rumors to government denials, from secret Cold War programs like Project Mogul to explanations involving crash-test dummies.
But the questions remain: Why the press release? Why the secrecy? And why do so many witnesses—military and civilian—still tell stories that don’t align with the official version?
The Roswell Incident is more than just a UFO tale—it’s a mirror reflecting our hopes, suspicions, and the fine line between truth and belief.Because sometimes, the past isn’t dead.
Sometimes, we have to disturb history to understand what it’s really hiding.
