The Encounter
Major Jesse Marcel was the chief intelligence officer at a military base. He was assigned to collect debris from a crash site in New Mexico. Marcel found materials that were very light and did not behave like any known metal. He described one piece as thin as foil that could not be bent or broken, even with a sledgehammer. After reporting his findings, Marcel was ordered to say it was a weather balloon, which he believed was not true. He later spoke publicly, stating that the debris was unlike anything he had seen and suggested a cover-up. The encounter led to ongoing questions about the nature of the materials and a belief that they were not from Earth.
