The incident soon became largely forgotten until 1978 when physicist and "ufologist" Stanton T. Friedman interviewed Major Jesse Marcel, who had been involved in recovering debris in 1947. Major Marcel claimed that the US government covered up the existence of an alien aircraft.
His claims sparked years of conspiracy theories, which the US government attempted to put to an end with the official 1997 report Case Closed: Final Report on the Roswell Crash.
However, interest in Roswell remains to this day and the Google Doodle celebrating it has certainly captured the imagination, with #Roswell trending on Twitter and people describing it as the "best Doodle ever".
