The Roswell incident was not widely discussed until the late 1970s, when retired lieutenant colonel Jesse Marcel, in an interview with ufologist Stanton Friedman, said he believed the debris he retrieved was extraterrestrial. The Army quickly retracted the statement and said instead that the crashed object was a conventional weather balloon. On July 8, 1947, Roswell Army Air Field issued a press release stating that they had recovered a "flying disc". In 1994, the United States Air Force published a report identifying the crashed object as a nuclear test surveillance balloon from Project Mogul. Decades later, conspiracy theories claimed that the debris was from a flying saucer which had been covered up by the United States government. The Roswell incident centers on the recovery, in 1947, of metallic and rubber debris from a military balloon that crashed near Roswell, New Mexico.
