The Scorching Summer: Weather’s Possible Role

July 1947 brought record heat to New Mexico, with temperatures soaring above 100°F around Roswell. Some theorists connect this extreme weather to the incident. The heat might have affected high-altitude balloon experiments, causing equipment failures. Others suggest it could have impacted an alien craft’s navigation systems. Weather records confirm these unusual conditions. This environmental factor adds an interesting dimension to various explanations for why something might have fallen from the sky.
