Everyone knows the legend — a UFO crashes in Roswell, the military covers it up, and the rest is conspiracy canon. But what actually happened in the desert in 1947? Dr. Lee Kuhnle of The Uncover Up joins to pull the facts out from under decades of fiction.
From crash test dummies to Cold War tech, this episode rewrites the alien origin story with real history, real programs, and real government motives.
