The Truth about Roswell: Decoding Decades of Deception
Added 2023-06-23 00:59:38 +0000 UTCIt was a sunny afternoon on June 24th, 1947, and Kenneth Arnold was flying his small aircraft over Mineral, Washington. He was heading to Yakima but took a slight detour to look for a lost US Marine Corps plane. If he could find it, he’d collect a nice reward.
Flying near Mount Rainier, he spotted a shiny object in his plane's mirror. Then, he saw multiple flashes of light. It looked like a group of aircraft, flying in formation. But something was wrong - these 'aircraft' didn't have tails. And they were flying faster than anything he’d ever seen. After about two minutes, the objects vanished near Mount Adams.
When Kenneth landed in Yakima, he immediately told his friends and airport staff about his bizarre experience. By the time he reached Pendleton, Oregon, his story had spread. Reporters were eager to hear it.
In describing the odd movement of these objects, Kenneth said it was like a teacup saucer skipping across a lake. At that moment, the term “flying saucer” was born.
And over the next two weeks, events would unfold that would affect every person on Earth. And change the course of history.

2023-06-29 20:54:59 +0000 UTCIts a reference to The Muppets which was an american TV show from the 70's. its worth a youtube to get the fully glory......and also Waldorf and Stadler are good from the same show

Harold Ploeg
2023-06-25 19:48:09 +0000 UTCHow about an Art Bell episode? A voice in the wilderness to many for so long. Besides a story about the man himself, the topics he covered are a treasure trove of ideas for future episodes.

2023-06-25 12:20:37 +0000 UTCEpisode about the surviving alien please. Wonder what he had to say...
Cat Collins
2023-06-25 10:31:40 +0000 UTCLoved this episode! It’s prob no coincidence it came out with so many UFO sightings in my area over the last week. 🤪
Christina Hatch
2023-06-24 23:18:12 +0000 UTCOne of my all time favs! I was born in White Sands New Mexico in the 50s and I’ve been fascinated with Roswell ever since I was a child. Your 60 minute episode was one of the finest wrap ups I’ve seen on this and yes, I can probably speak for all of us patrons that we would love to see part two!

John Dumais
2023-06-23 19:05:21 +0000 UTCAJ, yet another excellent video! You are doing the work of at least four people! I hope you add some crew members and keep up the good work and avoid burn out. Also - I bought a Hecklefish plush! Yay! 🐠

Jim Hoyle
2023-06-23 13:33:22 +0000 UTCAmazing job. The best info on the whole roswell thing summed up beautifully
Richard Sanchez
2023-06-23 13:14:25 +0000 UTCFor example one of the most important historical events coincides with Roswell UFO incident (mid 1947). The ramming of the ship the exodus (the ss Warfield), http://www.thepeoplesvoice.org/TPV3/Voices.php/2011/01/21/the-1947-exodus-the-return

James Polansky
2023-06-23 10:07:52 +0000 UTCTo me it means he's fast tracking events
Ivito
2023-06-23 09:56:18 +0000 UTCWhat did the alien say? Does this story ring true?
Mateusz Wawrzacz
2023-06-23 09:46:13 +0000 UTCthere a lot misinformation about Roswell, but I believe a UFO did crash. I believe it was shot down.The body are on ice somewhere not at area 51(That just smoke and mirrors)
Andrew Key
2023-06-23 09:26:36 +0000 UTCI was making a joke about Paul, but 100% agree. I was on the Nimitz in the gulf saw something crazy. They will never tell us anything that allows us to know what's really going on.
Kevin Via
2023-06-23 06:52:47 +0000 UTCWere you referring to skinny Bob at the end? Either way make that episode please!
James Williams
2023-06-23 06:15:03 +0000 UTCExtra info yea please
The Original Jay
2023-06-23 05:56:46 +0000 UTCExcellent episode! Thanks so much. And yes, please cover that extra info! :)
Joshua Stubbles
2023-06-23 05:08:31 +0000 UTC100%…just look at WW2 tech…and then FF only a couple years….it is so obvious they reverse engineered tech.
John Hobart
2023-06-23 04:59:38 +0000 UTCNo kiddin! That’s why I hope AJ and crew NEVER dismiss doing a story just because it’s been done before…he makes it new.
John Hobart
2023-06-23 04:58:38 +0000 UTCAnd those puke bags are STILL lying about it.. everyone who was involved in it is dead now. I was born in 72 few years after you but I would have hoped by the time I was 50 freakin years old, the dirtbags in gov would be able to puke up a truth… but nope.
John Hobart
2023-06-23 04:57:42 +0000 UTCSpeakin of big balloons….AJ always debunking everything that I love is like me generating excitement with the ladies telling them I only use the magnum size balloons…..BUT, I need zip ties to keep ‘em on.
John Hobart
2023-06-23 04:55:15 +0000 UTCWe're probably all familiar with the Roswell incident or at least the basics behind it, but you managed to piece it all together, provide some new snippets of info, analyse and separate the truth from fiction all in clever, fresh feeling way. Thanks. How about Friedman's photo analysis though, has this been debunked? I've always felt he was one of the more credible of UFO researchers. Can't wait for part 2 👽🛸

Morgan Seppy
2023-06-23 04:37:11 +0000 UTCawesome! more please!
Derrick Brown
2023-06-23 04:33:33 +0000 UTCgreat reporting, bring on any additional stories on roswell, or updates.
Robert Lloyd
2023-06-23 04:30:30 +0000 UTCLovely learning how to add a comment caused me to delete my comment.. anyways a friend of mine Meg Porter Berns when she worked at Channel 7 Miami, was interviewing an Ex-CIA agent about Project Stargate, after finished her interview she asked about the Roswell crash, he said there was no crash, it was a meeting. Also something about 2 ships neither crashed. Something for an exchange of technology. I have seen UFO’s for years and whole heartedly believe God did not stop at Earth. That so puts him in a convenient box. Anyways the talking Alien is an awesome art piece created from YouTube channel Menithings. Really convincing for most of it. Love your channel glad to be a Patreon member an ordering my Hecklefish soon.. did you release a video covering his sayings.
Hal White
2023-06-23 04:24:26 +0000 UTCFirst of all, I do want to hear the story you teased at the end about the possibility of a survivor of the Roswell crash. Secondly, at this point in time, "belief" in UFOs is something anyone who reads, looks at the skies, and actually thinks is a certainty. With all we're learning from CERN these last few years, surely people realize there's more out there than empty space. Or are they just more stupid than I can imagine? Sigh.
Kazren
2023-06-23 03:36:17 +0000 UTCPlease, do a piece on the alien. Thanks!
Seth Reed
2023-06-23 03:35:38 +0000 UTCHow about the Aurora, TX UFO?
Jesse Wilder
2023-06-23 03:31:24 +0000 UTCAJ and crew, Bravo! Amazing video. The way you presented the topic, and then provide additional information for or against said topic, is truly beautiful to watch and engage with. There was so much in tonight's video I'm gonna have to watch this episode again! PS-an episode on the living alien is an absolute must have, please and thank you.
JE Morse
2023-06-23 03:29:55 +0000 UTCYou should definitely make the video of the Alien that had a lot to say 🙏🏼
Matias Valdez
2023-06-23 03:28:26 +0000 UTCPhenomenal presentation, and YES, I would like a separate video on just what that alien had to say....
Tripal Helix
2023-06-23 03:25:48 +0000 UTCGreat episode!! Please cover the rest!! I would like to hear what this alien had to say
M M
2023-06-23 03:21:54 +0000 UTCI think it's my favorite so far! I say that every week.. you never disappoint. Very impatiently awaiting the part 2 video. I love you guys and thank you for everything you do!
Megan Lindsey
2023-06-23 03:19:06 +0000 UTCGreat one, AJ!! You didn't even mention Bob Lazar, which I think could make a great story/topic. I had a friend who claims he was in the military (which I believe) & claims The US military had a live alien & he wholl liked strawberry ice cream
AJudd Gentile is me!!
2023-06-23 03:18:54 +0000 UTCCliffhanger is right! Do the next part if you're up to it. I've read a lot about Roswell over the years, but this puts it all together with so much more detail. Thank you!

Jason RK
2023-06-23 03:10:46 +0000 UTCBetter yet...we should have an official Why Files get-together there! 🤣
Corey Edwards
2023-06-23 03:07:45 +0000 UTCHe is. Unfortunately, they encountered some issues uploading tonight's episode to YouTube for the premiere so it was delayed. The delay was bad enough they chose to cancel the After Files. Most weeks, though, they still do it. I look forward to that even more than the premiere. I can watch the new episode any time. The After Files only comes once a week.
Corey Edwards
2023-06-23 03:07:18 +0000 UTCLoved this one. The alien that stayed at the base, are you referring to EBE-1/Skinny Bob? If so, I've heard the story and find it rather depressing but I would love to see if you've unearthed anything new that I haven't seen before. TL;DR: If you ever ask us "if you want to see an episode on that, let me know" - let me just go ahead and stop you there. The answer will ALWAYS be yes.
Corey Edwards
2023-06-23 03:05:14 +0000 UTCI'd like to hear more.
Dave Scott
2023-06-23 03:04:37 +0000 UTCHow did I never realize that Roswell happened on my bday exactly 20 years before I was born?!
Jim Hoffman
2023-06-23 03:04:08 +0000 UTCIf anyone is interested in what that alien had to say, there is an amazing documentary on it called just "Paul". It's the story of some of his life, the escape and them trying to recapture him. Paul was what we called the alien.
Kevin Via
2023-06-23 02:54:39 +0000 UTCWould anyone NOT want to hear the “rest of the story”?
Kitty Hinkle
2023-06-23 02:52:47 +0000 UTCWow, tackling a beat to death story and still making it a winner. 🏆
Kevin Via
2023-06-23 02:50:21 +0000 UTCYou better believe we need a video of the twist at the end!
Drew Tolliver
2023-06-23 02:41:21 +0000 UTCPlease do the video!!!
MICHELE VAUGHAN
2023-06-23 02:37:56 +0000 UTCExcellent retelling of the Roswell crash and its history. There is no denying that it did happen and was the foundation of the Shadow Government that formed behind-the-scenes separate from the regular military and government. You can just look at the rapid advancement of computer technology after this event as proof of reverse engineering and small leaks of that knowledge to the world over the years, though never enough to actual help our society all that much. Just like today, they have a 100 years of things we have literally been shown in tons of sci-fi TV shows, movies, books and comics, but we just take it for fun fantasy, yet they have starships, tractor beams, faster-than-light travel, force fields, stasis fields, etc. This was supported recently in the UFO/UAP Conference with Steven Greer and a panel of ex-military/governmental personnel, especially when one of them said, "Anything you see in Star Trek, they have."
Elak Swindell
2023-06-23 02:35:24 +0000 UTCPHENOMENAL video!!! Love how you unpacked it all in the timeline format, and what’s this? A cliffhanger? Would love to see more on the EBE. Thank you so much AJ and Team! Rest up well!
Christine Atanasio

Nikki G_0
2023-06-23 02:18:31 +0000 UTCYou had me thinking this was real, then you gave more context and information, but in the last 60 seconds, you gave that cliff hanger. Now I'm not sure what to believe!

Thomas Ford Hardin
2023-06-23 02:08:42 +0000 UTCDO THE VIDEO!!!!
Bryan Scott Hardie
2023-06-23 02:08:42 +0000 UTCReally enjoyed it, lots of info but good flow to it and well paced. Personally I do think a ufo crashed there but with everything that has happened to muddy the waters, we'll never know for sure and I am thinking maybe people need to quit focusing so much on Roswell as the smoking gun - we've know about it for decades and it still hadn't caused disclosure, maybe leave it alone and let's focus elsewhere.

Jovan Anderson
2023-06-23 02:07:19 +0000 UTCWow this was great, so much was unpacked. I need to know more about what this Alien had to say, I thought isn't he speaking about the Ebe-1 alien at the end??
Vee

Mellie
2023-06-23 01:59:52 +0000 UTCAsking if we want a follow up story is like Gal Gadot asking me if I want to spend a night or 2 at the super 8 with her and Scarlett Johansson… Uh…I think yeah, we want it…
John Hobart
2023-06-23 01:59:36 +0000 UTCYes we need the follow up story about the live alien. The Why Files are the best content ever.
Rex B
2023-06-23 01:57:53 +0000 UTCCOVER IT! And I don't have enough money for the Heckplush, but will in 10 days if you're not sold out by then.😞 Love you guys!
Jan Bounds
2023-06-23 01:57:52 +0000 UTCThe alien lived, let me guess, became a practicing Jew and bought up Hollywood. He then invested heavily in Bank of International Settlements. From there he started the breakaway society and now resides in the back room of the Whitehouse. Of course has visiting rights to the Vatican and is on a first name bases with the Pontiff, right? America, you really can become what you want to. God bless us all each and everyone. Oh, please do a follow up on your story! Thx got a little carried away there , as opposed to abducted. Lol
