Summary
- Fire occurred at Roswell Air Center near Hangar 84.

A substantial fire broke out late Thursday at the Roswell Air Center, in close proximity to Hangar 84, an area long linked to the infamous 1947 UFO crash. Firefighters responded swiftly to contain the flames, preventing potential explosions from nearby hazardous materials. The fire was declared under control by late evening.
While the cause of the blaze remains unknown, authorities have reported no injuries. The incident has inevitably reignited public fascination and conspiracy theories surrounding the Roswell incident, with many online speculating about evidence destruction.
The Roswell incident itself began in July 1947 when debris was found. Initial reports suggested a 'flying disc,' but the military later stated it was a weather balloon from Project Mogul, a claim that has fueled decades of cover-up allegations and UFO lore.
