Synopsis
Is this the greatest secret of the universe, or just its most elaborate hoax? In 1947, outside Roswell, New Mexico, a strange looking craft crashed into the desert. At first, the military reported it as a “flying disc”, but within hours they had retracted the statement, claiming instead that it had merely been a weather balloon. The Roswell Incident has fuelled conspiracy theories ever since, especially with the discovery of film footage in 1978, purportedly showing an autopsy on one of three aliens dragged from the wreckage. With balanced analysis, previously unheard witness reports, classified documentation and extended clips of the autopsy footage, Secret History delves into the affair and tries to answer this cosmic conundrum once and for all.
