The Roswell incident is a documented debris-recovery and public-information reversal, not a documented recovery of an extraterrestrial craft. On 8 July 1947, Roswell Army Air Field announced possession of a “flying disc”; the next day, senior officers presented light balloon and radar-reflector material. A 1995 GAO search found only two surviving government records created in 1947, both consistent with a balloon. The U.S. Air Force later linked the debris to Project Mogul and treated later body stories as memories of separate 1950s activities. The exact balloon train cannot be proved from every missing record, but no contemporary public file supports alien bodies or extraterrestrial material.

The Berwyn Mountain incident is best understood as several events later fused into one crash legend. Instruments and 448 later-assessed questionnaires establish a real North Wales earthquake at 20:38 on 23 January 1974. Contemporary reports also describe a bright meteor or fireball over a much wider region, plus other lights at different times. Police treated early calls as a possible aircraft crash, searched with RAF support, and recorded no wreckage, crater or missing aircraft. Public files document those inquiries and later correspondence; they do not document a recovered craft, occupants or a secret military removal. “Welsh Roswell” is a retrospective media label, not a name or conclusion from 1974.
