Roswell, New Mexico area:
First rocket to enter space, 1926
First nuclear explosion, 1945
First alleged non-earth based debris, 1947
The coincidence.
Perhaps one of the most interesting confluences in history is Roswell, New Mexico.
This is the precise location where humans first pierced a rocket in to low space in the 1920s-1930s.
In this rare film Esther Goddard speaks of Robert Goddard’s time launching rockets in—Roswell.
