Roswell

Date of First Broadcast:	16 October 1995
Summary:	From UPN Promo Information: Based on a true story, the film follows the thirty year investigation of Jesse Marcel, a top intelligence officer at one of America's most secretive military bases. In July, 1947, Marcel identified strange wreckage found on a Rosell area ranch as a "downed flying saucer." It is the only case in which the military officially announced that it had recovered a flying saucer, then retracted its own announcement. The incident is considered to be one of the most well-documented and yet most mysterious of thousands of UFO reports generated in the last 50 years. The film traces Marcel's subsequent investigation into why, despite incontrovertable evidence, his superiors claimed he made a mistake -- and what about the truth they suppressed. Based on UFO Crash at Roswell by Kevin D. Randle and Donald R. Schmitt.
