No, but it doesn't look like something that could fly outside of our atmosphere, much less travel light years, either.

Do I see turbine blades? Hardly the hardware for extraterrestrial travel.
I don't see anything looking like a balloon or a capsule payload for it.
I do see what looks like a twin engine jet aircraft. Maybe something highly experimental and classified at the time.

Sort of looks like a SR-71 Blackbird.

Looks like wreckage from a flying wing type aircraft to me.

There are no markings of any kind on the sheet metal. No evidence of fire. What do they plan to do with dump trucks and dozer? Looks like a SR71 crashed into a water tank.
I agree with delcrossy. Looks like an SR-71 Blackbird. Probably a crashed prototype.

German WWII Horton Ho 229 Flying Wing?
EDIT: After further review, and some better post, I'm going with an early SR 71.

Wayyyyy to early to be a prototype of a Blackbird. Roswell happened in 1947 and the A-12 didn't fly until the 60's. Heck the U-2 didn't fly until the 50's. But they did have flying wings back then. Who knows, maybe the government types were messing around with a Horten flying wing.

The vehicles shown look to be somewhat newer than 1947. It's been nearly 30 years since I have been to the Roswell area (my son went to school at NMMI there), but I seem to remember the the terrain in the area being flatter than the picture indicates.

The dump truck is a ford '62-67.

Good catch on the trucks guys. Those can't be pics of the Roswell wreckage then because of the time frame of the trucks and the wreckage could very well be of a Blackbird. But since the Roswell thing went down in 1947, those pics can't be from it.
I still believe a "Blackbird-type" craft.

I can't pronounce it, let alone spell it; how do you say ofiscation?
(Ooops, wrong secret picture, my bad! or something like that.

Looks like a bunch of civilian dudes clearing up a junk pile.

Obviously a Time Machine.
Looks like someone was trying out something based on the Horten flying wing.
Edit. Actually Northrop was testing the YB-49 in 1947.
Edit 2. Only after posting this I realized, from other posts, it was an early 60s picture. So I kept digging.
