Curiosa

Most of us have nowadays heard of the "Roswell Incident" in the U.S.A. in 1947. In those less paranoiacal times, despite the world having recently emerged from a catastrophic war, a sanguine view was still being taken about the possible presence of entities from other worlds, at least by the administrations of the United States of America and certain other countries including the United Kingdom.

Here follows a small, growing collection of public domain material for those interested, without any intended criticism or endorsement.
