William "Mac" Brazel was a rancher who became famous for discovering debris from a crashed UFO near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. Brazel found the debris on his property and initially thought it might be from a weather balloon. However, after seeing a newspaper article about a crashed flying saucer, Brazel contacted authorities to report his discovery.
The debris found by Brazel was eventually identified as being from a top-secret military program called Project Mogul, which involved using high-altitude balloons to detect sound waves from potential Soviet nuclear tests. The military initially covered up the true nature of the debris, leading to conspiracy theories about a government cover-up of an extraterrestrial visit.
- Brazel was born on June 24, 1909, in Tularosa, New Mexico, and grew up on his family's ranch.
- He became a rancher himself and worked as a cowboy for most of his life.
- In early July 1947, he discovered debris scattered across his ranch, which he initially thought was from a weather balloon. However, when he heard about reports of a crashed flying saucer, he contacted the authorities to report his discovery.
- Brazel was interviewed by the local sheriff and military officials, who took possession of the debris and warned him not to talk about it.
- In the years following the incident, Brazel gave several interviews about his discovery and the subsequent cover-up by the military.
- He passed away on April 23, 1963, at the age of 53, due to a heart condition.
