FF:NZ SciFi Channel digs into Roswell crash

SCI FI Sponsored Roswell Dig
The SCI FI Channel has sponsored an archaeological excavation of the site of a purported UFO crash near Roswell, N.M., in 1947 and filmed it for a documentary to air on Nov. 22. The two-hour documentary, The Roswell Crash: Startling New Evidence, hosted by Bryant Gumbel, premieres at 8 p.m. ET/PT and features new eyewitness interviews and what the network calls a "smoking gun"?new evidence concerning the Roswell incident.

A team of University of New Mexico archaeologists, led by head investigators Tom Carey and Don Schmitt, visited the Roswell site over 10 days in September. Three archaeologists were joined by six volunteers to conduct the research, using state-of-the-art remote-sensing technologies and modern archaeological methods, the network said.

SCIFI.COM has also posted a new Web site, with information about the Roswell incident. On Nov. 22 at 10 p.m. ET, Carey and Schmitt will discuss the investigation in a live chat on SCIFI.COM.
