This article examines the Roswell Incident—an event that became the cornerstone of modern ufology and conspiracy theories about the US government concealing contact with extraterrestrial civilizations. Based on analysis of historical documents, official US Air Force reports, and journalistic investigations, the true chronology of the July 1947 events and their subsequent mythologization is reconstructed. Particular attention is devoted to Project Mogul as the actual source of the debris found, the role of ufologists in creating the legend, and the transformation of a small New Mexico town into the epicenter of a global tourism industry built on belief in aliens.

This article examines the involvement of Microsoft founder Bill Gates in the scandal surrounding the publication of the so-called "Epstein Files"—a multimillion-page cache of documents revealing the connections of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein with global elites.

Particular attention is devoted to the mechanism of using compromising information, the reaction of former wife Melinda French Gates, and the consequences for the reputation of one of the wealthiest individuals on the planet.
