"RAAF Captures Flying Saucer on Ranch in Roswell Region" was the headline sixty five years ago this week, and the beginning of a story that has changed and mutated into nothing short of a legend. one that remains shrouded in mystery, secrecy, and rumour.

One man, however, retired CIA agent Chase Brandon, has come forward to state that he has seen the evidence, and that the the original headline was the truth of the matter, not the dislaimer that followed, which rather ridiculously reported that the downed saucer-shaped UFO had turned out to be merely a weather balloon.

"Chase Brandon, who worked 35 years with the CIA, said documents regarding the alleged landing of beings from outer space are locked up at the CIA's headquarters in Langley, Va.

"It was in a vaulted area - there was one box that really caught my eye," the Daily Mail quotes Brandon as saying. "It had one word on it: Roswell. I rummaged inside it, put the box on the shelf and said, 'My God, it really happened.'

"It was not a weather balloon - it was what people first reported... It was a craft that clearly did not come from this planet."
