Celebrating World UFO Day
Sixty-one years ago today, a ranch foreman named Mack Brazel went for a walk near his sheep ranch in Roswell, New Mexico, and nothing was ever the same. The Takeaway celebrates World UFO Day using historical tape and film clips to look at how pop culture grabbed on to the UFO craze and never let go.
