Roswell Skip Site: SEM & Isotopic Analysis

Michael Perrone discusses preliminary SEM & Isotopic Analysis data for Frank Kimbler’s Roswell Bounce-Site UAP samples, which he speculates to be 7000-series aluminum. He describes the challenges involved with SEM analysis, impurities found in the samples, and speculates on possible origin & use of this material.

Analysis of a metallic sample, potentially from a crash site, revealed a composition primarily of aluminum, magnesium, silicon, and manganese, with trace copper.

  • Initial Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) data was unreliable due to insufficient integration time and epoxy interference, causing electron beam reflection.
  • Optical microscopy showed two main phases: a dark gray aluminum-silicon phase and a lighter aluminum phase, with black areas possibly representing pits or a hard material.

While the composition aligns with a 7000 series aluminum alloy, the presence of copper requires further verification. The possibility of mechanical deformation was noted, but insufficient data exists to confirm. The sample’s origin remains uncertain, with possibilities including aluminum trash or a shell casing from bomb testing. Further investigation is needed.
