 There is a belief that if interstellar travel should be a reality thanks to a little known principle in electromagnetism as revealed in the UFO CD, why haven't we seen one of these devices crashing to earth for us to investigate?
Well, some US investigators believe it may have happened not far from a place called Roswell, New Mexico.
What are the witnesses' claims?
Something crashed in the deserts not far from Roswell, New Mexico, in the early days of July 1947 as confirmed by radio and newspaper reports.
First-hand witnesses claimed they heard an odd explosion in the midst of a severe electrical thunderstorm on the night of 2 July 1947. The following morning, wreckage was found scattered over a wide area. On the same morning, nearly 200 kilometres to the west, other witnesses claimed they saw a damaged metallic disk with unusual bodies in an area known as the Plains of San Agustin before it was taken away by the US Army for investigation.
 Major Jesse A. Marcel, one of the first-hand witnesses to the scene of the first crash site, claims that it '...was definitely not a weather or tracking device, nor was it any sort of plane or missile.' (1)
Bill Brazel, another first-hand witness claims he saw pieces of a dark greyish metallic foil found at the crash site (the same thing was observed at the second crash site) among other odd materials as 'very thin and extremely lightweight. The odd thing about this foil was that you could wrinkle it and lay it back down and it immediately resumed its original shape.' (2)
Other witnesses, including those claiming to have loaded the material on several B-29 Bombers under strict security for scientific examination at Wright Field Army Air Base (now Wright-Patterson Air Force Base) in Dayton, Ohio, USA, said they saw a lead-coloured, 'dirty stainless steel' (3) or dark-grey metallic foil that 'could unfold itself' after slightly warming it with their body and bending it in one hand.
How does the US government explain the crash?
On 8 July 1947, Brigadier-General Roger Maxwell Ramey, commanding officer of the Eighth AAF at Fort Worth AAF, Texas, USA, held a media conference in his office at around 6.00pm. During the conference, reporters were shown the remains of a torn-up weather balloon made of balsa wood, plastic and aluminium foil.
However this explanation wasn't sufficient to solve the controversy. As former New Mexico Congressman, the late Steven Schiff, noticed, why are the US military and government officials still acting in a highly secret and evasive manner to this day whenever questions are asked about the incident?
Then in July 1994, the US Air Force concluded in their detailed 231-page report titled, The Roswell Report: Case Closed, claiming that the wreckage found in the deserts outside Roswell was nothing more than the remains of a secret weather balloon experiment called Project Mogul designed to test for Soviet nuclear explosions during the Cold War period. (4)
This official explanation did not change in the latest report from the US Air Force issued in 1997.
And to this day, the US government has continued to support this conclusion, including the argument that no unusual materials were used in the construction of this secret weather balloon experiment - that is, only aluminium foil, balsa-wood, plastics and tape with pinkish-purple flower-like designs.
What's the new discovery in the Roswell incident?
After carefully researching the witnesses claims, an Australian researcher has discovered how the dark greyish "shape memory" metallic substance is almost certainly an alloy composed of nickel and titanium called nitinol, the alloy which began the official study of shape memory alloys, the most powerful known to science, and the only one known to have this unusually dark-greyish or "dirty stainless steel" appearance.
The origins of nitinol are even more mysterious. But we find, according to a metallurgical journal about the alloy, how the US Air Force at Wright-Patterson AFB (the official location for where the Roswell debris would eventually end up) had studied this alloy at the right time (ie. 1948-49) and were asking US scientists at the Battelle Memorial Institute in Ohio, USA, to study it as if the military did not have the technology to make it and study it for themselves in secret.
US scientists would not officially begin the study of "shape memory" alloys until 1958 when a US Navy metallurgist accidentally subject the alloy to his cigarette lighter.
But for some reason the US Air Force appeared to be the first to know about nitinol and needed to know more about the alloy after 1947, at a time when major upheavals in the US military aerospace and the titanium industry were taking place. Titanium, one of the critical metals needed to making nitinol, was at the centre of the US military's aerospace transformation. In fact, the US military had instigated the change in attitude towards titanium and its alloys after 1947 for some reason as revealed by numerous sources (eg. the Encyclopedia Britannica).
To this day, the US Air Force has never explained what it was doing with the alloy, how it began the work, and why it was never mentioned in their official report on the Roswell case in 1994 and 1997. As the alloy would precisely explain the metallic foil's appearance and behaviour as seen by military and civilian witnesses.
Is the US Air Force telling us everything we need to know about this incident and their involvement in the study of nitinol and shape memory alloys? Or are they hiding something?
And why did the US Air Force need outside scientific assistance to study nitinol if they had already made the substance in secret (ie. the technology to make nitinol was available) and which we are led to believe was used in yet another undisclosed balloon experiment or aircraft crash that went horribly wrong?
Or is nitinol a coincidence?

- The term 'dirty stainless steel' was mentioned by L. W. "Vern" Maltais and his wife Jean Swedmark Maltais as the words used by their close friend the late Barney Barnett, the man who allegedly saw a large dark-greyish metallic disk-shaped object with unusual bodies in the Socorro region on the morning after the odd explosion on a local ranch near Roswell according to Berlitz & Moore 1988, pp.60-61. Walt Whitmore, Jr., son of the Roswell radio station KGFL owner, also described the colour of the metallic foil brought into Roswell by a local rancher as lead foil as shown on page 73 of Friedman & Berliner 1992 book, Crash at Corona: '[It was] very much like lead foil in appearance but could not be torn or cut at all...extremely light in weight...'
