Mac Brazel

Mac Brazel is best known for his alleged discovery of debris from the Roswell UFO crash in July 1947. Brazel was a rancher who lived near Corona, New Mexico, and according to some reports, he found strange metallic and rubber-like materials scattered across his ranch while he was checking on his sheep after a severe thunderstorm.Brazel gathered some of the debris and took it to the Chaves County Sheriff's Office in Roswell to report his discovery. The military eventually took over the investigation, and Brazel became one of the key witnesses in the story of the Roswell incident.Brazel's description of the debris he found was one of the key pieces of evidence in the case, and it helped to fuel speculation and controversy surrounding the Roswell incident. Some researchers have claimed that Brazel was intimidated or coerced into changing his story about what he found, while others have suggested that he may have been involved in a cover-up to hide the true nature of the debris.After the Roswell incident, Brazel largely retreated from public life and continued to live and work on his ranch until his death in 1963. However, his alleged discovery of the Roswell debris remains a central part of the story of the Roswell incident and has continued to captivate the public's imagination for decades.
