The bodies reportedly were found at a different crash site...like the thing smacked into the ground and part of it bounced away to a different spot. As fast as those craft move it could easily have happened. yes I know that is what was told but Jessie did not see anything to this effect. If Jessie did not witness it ...... it very well could be false claims . As the paper told of a saucer crash. So everyone had to get in on the action. ;D I do know that the government has that debri today. If a balloon there would be no reason for hiding it now. There never was any dummies or I beams attach to this object like they have stated over the years. Jessie Jr. I sort of believe when he told of the I beam and how the markings appear with stones in them . He was 11, if you cannot remember at this age an important event then there would definitely be something wrong with his memory.

www.ufodigest.com/article/roswell-ripFebruary 13, 2013 Roswell R.I.P.By William Grabowski I have probably read as much about the so-called Roswell Incident as anyone. It's hard to ignore, not only because of what it might mean, but why America (indeed, the world) is so obsessed with the matter. Here's the thing: something crashed near Roswell. What that thing was, no one can (or will) say. In fact, about all one can say is that there was a coming-to-ground of something. True, it's easy to ask: what possibly can one add to the extant literature? This is not a yes-or-no topic, i.e. did something literally fall? It did. What came after is fraught with misinformation, disinformation, mythology, wish-fulfillment, insanity, and guys-who-know-guys-who-knew-a-guy.... I am honor-bound to admit that I respect the very considerable research (no names--you know them all) carried out, often without much or any compensation, by individuals tougher far than your author. Sometimes I think Roswell has become, if not exceeded, the penultimate mystery, akin to that offered by Baigent, Leigh, and Lincoln in their aggravating, evocative, and fascinating Holy Blood, Holy Grail, wherein the authors make their case for our knowledge of Jesus Christ being incomplete--if not deliberately obscured. I was raised to respect and “believe in” Catholicism which, in my huffing, grudging way, I've come to agree to disagree with (pardon the grammar). What's that mean? It means I think Christ actually was a flesh-and-blood being, thus no stranger to pain and the simple realities of life. Was he divine? With all due respect to Sister Bonaventa (who smacked my hand with a ruler because she thought I broke a clock), I can't claim an answer. Frankly, I've learned more from independent study than anything she taught. It wouldn't surprise me, were she still among us lucky few, if she ran down the authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail and phoned their parents afterward. No good deed goes unpunished--especially that of asking questions. You see, that's how it is with believers. Tuck in your white shirt, leave questions at the door with your chewing gum. Speaking only from experience, what I learned from catechism is this: question us and suffer. I digress. CONTINUE READING: www.ufodigest.com/article/roswell-rip[/color]

According to multiple witnesses from various locations across the U.S. there were objects that were not ordinary , sometimes multiple, other times only one or two which defied explanation and didn't fit with the aircraft of that era such as shape, speed, and maneuverability.
Surely the first team that went in to recover the object(s) knew that something was different and far from ordinary compared to other search , rescue, and recoveries of that day, especially of balloons. Their first assessment says a lot imo.
It also makes sense why everything was retracted from the first initial statements . National Security ,religion, and panic would be a few good reasons. Another would be the advanced technology recovered falling into the wrong hands. There are conflicting statements but there are others in between that are too similar in details to be falsified imo.
I still continue to believe the same about Roswell as I did before. I think another species was closely monitoring the situations unfolding during that era. There were significant events happening at that time and in that location.
Imo it seems sensible to suggest that a new type of radar at that time interfered with the e.t. craft in some way thus bringing it down. The same may have happened one or two more times to other craft that went to search for or investigate their fallen kind resulting in more possible crashes.
It isn't difficult for me to believe that these craft were piloted by an advanced life form from another civilization elsewhere beyond this planet or unmanned similar to modern day uav's.
The day of disclosure is inevitable. Maybe then the truth pertaining to Roswell will also be revealed.

ufocon.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/roswell-crash-debris-guard-i-was.htmlThursday, April 18, 2013 ROSWELL CRASH DEBRIS GUARD: “I WAS ORDERED TO SHOOT TO KILL”[/color] by Anthony Bragalia A team of investigators (of which this author is part) has renewed efforts to find and contact the very last living veterans of the Army Air Force who were at Roswell during the time of a UFO crash that occurred in early July of 1947. Some of these now octogenarian witnesses have opened up publicly for the very first time- and some of what they say can only be described as chilling. If the testimony of one particular Roswell vet holds true, then the Air Force explanation of a Mogul balloon train accounting for a crashed UFO cannot be. This is because the vet maintains that the Provost Marshal of the base had issued to him the most extreme and dreaded of commands: He was ordered to “shoot to kill” anyone who ever tried to enter the hangar in which the crash debris was stored. One would not be commanded to kill over a balloon. Serviceman Calvin Cox has held secret his disturbing Roswell experience for decades. He was ordered to never speak of it. And he never has...until now. THE ULTIMATE COMMAND To “shoot to kill” on officer’s orders supersedes the normal protocol to apprehend and arrest. It means to instantly end another person’s life as judge, jury and executioner. One such serviceman dutiful enough to do this was PFC Calvin Cox. Cox is pictured in the Roswell Army Air Field Base Yearbook for 1947 and other information indicates that he was attached to the 3rd Photo Lab. Cox was found by me during the course of trying to locate those who were with the Photo Lab at that time. One serviceman who was also affiliated with the Lab, Gene Neiderschmidt, had suggested that I contact a Calvin Cox “who knew some things he might now be open to talking about.” Gene explained that Cox had actually guarded the hangar where the debris was taken. Gene added, “and what he tells you is true. He would have done anything if he was ordered to, anything. He was a tough kind of guy.” I reached Calvin Cox by phone very recently. His story was one that he was at first reluctant to tell. But what he did relate was remarkable. Calvin explained that he held Top Secret clearance. When the debris from the Roswell crash was being brought to base, Calvin states the he was commanded to perform very urgent guard duty at Hangar 84. It would be a four hour shift. The Provost Marshal, Major Edwin Easley, instructed Calvin to guard a portion of the inside of the huge hangar. And Calvin did this. But what gives him pause even today are the forceful orders that he was given that extraordinary day: Major Easley had commanded Calvin in absolute terms to “shoot and kill anyone who tried to enter the hangar that was not authorized to do so.” CONTINUE READING: ufocon.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/roswell-crash-debris-guard-i-was.html

quote...When I asked him what happened to the debris, Cox said that he knew that pilot Captain Oliver “Pappy” Henderson was involved in flying out some of it out to another location. (Many years ago researchers documented that Henderson had confessed to family that he had personally seen the alien bodies and strange debris. Thank you auntym for posting this.. I posted a interview with Pappy's wife.. back on this thread a ways.. Pappy was one witness I believed in this entire event besides Jesse's statement.. Jesse never seen alien bodies, but Pappy did. Why would a dying man confess this to his wife if not true.. .. Watch the video. ..

This seems to be all I could find on Captain Henderson . He flew the wreckage to Texas. 20 seconds into the tape his wife tells his death confession. I don't see any of my old tapes with her on u tube. I always believed this woman. A gut feeling. Here is where I posted it. But it has been taken off u tube. Darn!! Well I still have it on VHS..

Its stories such this that tends to warp the credibility of these important events. There are suspicious things being claimed in the above article.
Typically servicemen who hold TOP SECRET clearance, don't walk guard duty, as those personnel are specialists in something, while most guard duty details are a form of punishment. And typically guard details don't walk guard duty inside a facility, but around an area outside a facility as guards typically don't have need-to-know. If its an important article to be guarded, multiple guards are deployed, which you can rest-assured that the chain-of-command would have done in the event of guarding recovered Alien hardware.
<<< This is because the vet maintains that the Provost Marshal of the base had issued to him the most extreme and dreaded of commands: He was ordered to “shoot to kill” anyone who ever tried to enter the hangar in which the crash debris was stored. One would not be commanded to kill over a balloon. >>>
When a soldier is assigned guard duty, the military does not issue squirt-guns, no, they arm those soldiers with an M1 Carbine (1947) and .45 Colt sidearm, and unlike civilian contractor guards one sees in some facilities, military guard weapons are loaded. In the Armed Services, a guard soldier is trained to command three 'halts' to be barked at any unauthorized intruder of an area for which he is responsible. Irregardless of around what they walk perimeter, whether it be around a $1.6 billion Dollar secret aircraft or helium filled balloons inside a hanger. On the first commanded 'halt' the guard unslings his weapon, on the 2nd issued "halt" command, the guard chambers a round and aims the weapon, on the third "halt" command, the guard shoots the unauthorized intruder. Soldiers walking guard detail are uninformed about what's being guarded.
On occasion, such as may be seen during public air-shows where military aircraft are parked for public display, one may see signs marked with 'The Base Commander has authorized the use of deadly force' warning signs situated around the display. These signs for the edification of civilians who don't know that guard soldiers will shoot them, no discussion...no BS. So to hear claims that a guard soldier was given specific instructions from a senior officer to 'shoot to kill' is simply ludicrous and is typical of the ever present BS surrounding ET subjects.
Ask someone who has walked guard detail in the service.

www.latest-ufo-sightings.net/2013/06/ufo-crash-incident-in-roswell-new.html Saturday, June 15, 2013 UFO Crash Incident In Roswell, New Mexico Sixty-Six Years Later Saturday, June 15, 2013 Sixty-Six Years Later July 7, 1947 is the date that UFO believers and followers can never forget. On this day, something fell from the sky to the surface of Roswell, New Mexico. There are two major theories about the incident which can be broken down into official version and alternate explanation. The official version says that it was not a debris from extra-terrestrial UFO that fell from the sky but a surveillance balloon that was in the experimental phase. The development of such experiment had been classified during that time. The debris was recovered in Roswell and removed from the area. The alternate explanation says that the debris being recovered and removed from the site was from a spacecraft piloted by extra-terrestrials. The debris was collected by the U.S. military including the aliens inside the spacecraft. The official statement was made up to cover up the real story. The military conducted various tests both on the flying saucer and the alien remains. A British man released a stunning video in 1999 showing an alien autopsy. The man claimed that he acquired the footage from the U.S. military source. Few years later, he admitted that the video was made by himself. However, he insisted that the self-made video was a recreation of actual footage of alien autopsy. He said that the original film was destroyed when it exposed to air. What do you think?

Revisiting Roswell: Jesse Marcel, Jr. Returns to UFO Crash Site
Published on Jul 17, 2013
In 1947, Major Jesse Marcel brought home debris from the infamous UFO that crashed outside of Roswell, New Mexico. Sixty-six years later, his son still remembers the strange material. We drove with Jesse Marcel, Jr. to the crash site to hear his story, and returned to his childhood home to see the floor where his father showed him the wreckage.
Researcher Frank Kimbler shows pieces of material he's found in the area, currently undergoing testing for proof of extraterrestrial origin.

Follow Andrew Fazekas, the Night Sky Guy, on Twitter and Facebook. It is nice National Geographic felt compelled to mark the anniversary. If for nothing else as a social phenomenon. Also they are compelled because it has captured in one form or another the publics imagination and many of those are their readers. The articles intro is well intentioned but a little misleading. We know for instance the public's (virtually all of us) perception of Roswell started in 1979, not 1947. The intro mentions countless UFO reports since. It was the Ken Arnold report almost serendipitously in Washington State almost the same week that fired the publicist interest in July 1947. 'Roswell' came into public consciousness by Friedman and others in 1979 when they learned of it then. Many Ufo reports & close encounter claims later- 'Roswell' was more confirmation by then in that context. Perhaps more, it has fueled expectations of hopes for further astonishing revelations to the public now commonly referee to as 'disclosure'. That the new catch word. We also know the important research in aeromedicine didn't occur till years later. The USAF was embarrassed the public was not as dumb as they thought. A chronic symptom the Air Force has always had.

Your observation is absolutely accurate, plutronus. Physical security only requires a minimum clearance and more importantly, conformance to a certain profile of standards. The military uses that profile of standards to qualify personnel to be posted as physical security at sensitive sites, from Tactical Nuclear Weapons Depots to weapons testing and development facilities. Access to information is handled on a strictly "need to know" basis, which is how you have entire commands where the left hand literally has no idea what the right hand is doing. That is the point of operations security: no one possesses enough information to compromise any operation. That particular method of information security was learned the "hard way" during WWII. Loose lips sink ships, but if the owner of those lips only puts a square peg into a round hole (and isn't aware of the operator on the other side of the facility who places round pegs into triangular holes), the damage done is minimized.

Renowned U.S. Navy Commander Reveals Stunning Roswell Crash Secretby Anthony Bragalia One of the most acclaimed Naval scientists in U.S. military history has stated unequivocally that the Roswell crash of 1947 was not of a balloon nor was it a hoax. Based on evidence he had seen in an official capacity, the Commander was instead convinced that the crash represents an event with deep implications for all of mankind. Universally acknowledged as the "grandfather" of satellite technology - and a close associate of Dr. Werner von Braun - Commander George W. Hoover has revealed that the truth about Roswell is far stranger that we have ever dared to think. THE GENIUS COMMANDER COMMANDER GEORGE W. HOOVER, SEATED (LEFT) WITH FRED DURANT (ROBERTSON PANEL ON UFOS) AND WERNER von BRAUN (SEATED ACROSS)Commander George W. Hoover was long associated with the U.S. Office of Naval Research (ONR). He was also a space program pioneer and innovator of numerous avionic and astronautical devices. Hoover was highly awarded for his technical achievements including the Aviation Week Laureate Award, the American Astronautical Society's Space Flight Award, the Legion of Merit and the British Interplanetary Society's Bronze Medal. Hoover made enormous contributions to atmospheric balloon research leading to Project Skyhook; the X-15 Jet Aircraft (in developing the D-558-1) and to Werner von Braun's Project Orbiter (resulting in the launch of Explorer I, the first American satellite.) When retired from service, Hoover was a leading consultant to organizations including NASA (providing human standards development for Apollo) General Dynamics, McDonnell Douglas and Curtis Wright. Hoover was also instrumental in the development of the first advanced flight instrumentation and of the first flight simulators. A highly decorated pilot as well, he personally logged over 5,000 flight hours in over 100 types of aircraft. Dr. Werner von Braun said of Hoover in the early 1950s, "Everybody talks about satellites, then nobody does anything. George Hoover's contribution should never be forgotten." Vice Chief of the Navy, Admiral Harry D. Felt said of Hoover that he offered "the driving spirit, organizing genius, imagination and foresight which set in motion the mighty effort toward the first man-made earth satellite, man's first step toward space flight."

groundreport.com/retired-cia-spook-says-roswell-ufo-incident-really-happened/ Retired CIA spook says Roswell UFO incident really happenedby Robert Tilford Posted: 09/22/2013 Chase Brandon, a well respected 25-year Central Intelligence Agency veteran, claims the UFO crash at Roswell was real. Brandon served as a spy and undercover covert operations officer in the CIA’s infamous Clandestine Service for 25 years and claims the CIA has information on the Roswell UFO incident that proves “it’s real” and happened exactly the way it was first reported when the Army announced it had captured a UFO back in 1947. He claims the information is housed in a special section of CIA headquarters in Langley, Va., called the Historical Intelligence Collection room. “It was a vaulted area and not everybody could get in it,” Brandon told The Huffington Post recently. “One day, I was looking around in there and reading some of the titles that were mostly hand-scribbled summations of what was in the boxes. And there was one box that really caught my eye. It had one word on it: Roswell”, he said. “I took the box down, lifted the lid up, rummaged around inside it, put the box back on the shelf and said, ‘My god, it really happened!” “Some written material and some photographs, and that’s all I will ever say to anybody about the contents of that box,” he said. “But it absolutely, for me, was the single validating moment that everything I had believed, and knew that so many other people believed had happened, truly was what occurred” (see article: ‘It was a craft that did not come from this planet’: CIA agent speaks out on 65th anniversary of Roswell ‘UFO’ landings Chase Brandon, a 35-year CIA veteran, claims the UFO crash at Roswell was real.

The chainsaw bluesBy Billy Cox, Herald-Tribune / Wednesday, October 9, 2013 There’s a scene in “Parkland,” the new film about the JFK assassination, where a shaken Abraham Zapruder, played by Paul Giamatti, has this horrific moment of clarity. Not only has he witnessed and inadvertently filmed the breathtaking murder of his hero, he understands his life, and his family’s life, will never be the same. In the blink of an eye, Zapruder has been blasted from anonymity into the glare of multiple law-enforcement agencies. His phone rings off the hook. The media is playing tug-of-war hardball for exclusive publishing rights. Behind closed door, a Life magazine editor has an inside track on fee negotiations. Anguished, guilt-addled, the Dallas clothing manufacturer rightly insists his first priority is to protect the security of his family, whose privacy will be turned inside out through no fault of his own. Life would ultimately purchase the images for $150,000; Zapruder would donate $25,000 to the widow of Dallas PD officer J.D. Tippit, slain minutes after Kennedy was gunned down. Zapruder would never use the Bell and Howell Zoomatic camera again. Nor would the reluctant eyewitness to history keep a copy of the footage that everyone wanted. He died in 1970 at 65. Time flies. "Opinion is that exercise of the human will which helps us to make a decision without information" -- educator John Erskine/CREDIT: belch.com You may have read about the latest Roswell controversy involving two Kodachrome slides rumored to show a dead alien recovered from the alleged 1947 crash site. The reason we’re hearing about it now is that a member of the small informal group of researchers — known as the “Roswell Dream Team,” an extremely unfortunate moniker — shared information with a trigger-happy outside player, and the whole thing blew up on the Internet before their investigation was complete. It’s easy to get lost in the details, but team member Kevin Randle issued a mea culpa summary last week. De Void, of course, has no skin in the game and has no idea about what's what. Given the “Alien Autopsy” fiasco of 1995, De Void’s suspicions here are visceral. However. What’s different this time is that, if the tale is true, the owner of the photos isn’t shopping for the highest bidder — he’s apparently scared sh*tless about having his name linked to them. Which, in the context of UFOs, sounds absolutely, perfectly, unambiguously and unremarkably sane. Tony Bragalia is one of the researchers. He’s a Sarasota hometown guy and we’ve talked on a number of occasions. He’s an executive talent scout and he knows how and where to root out information. He’s been on the Roswell trail for years and financed his research out of his own pocket. He says he’s met the owner of the photos and seen the pix personally. “They’re both in full color and extremely close,” he says. Story in a nutshell: an estate-cleaning outfit discovers the slides stashed in an envelope inside an attic trunk belonging to a deceased and apparently respected geologist working the Texas-New Mexico region for oil exploration in the 1940s. The geologist and his late wife have no heirs. The slides are brought to the attention of the business owner, who has read Witness to Roswell by Thomas Carey and Donald Schmitt. The guy makes a few calls, out of curiosity. Bragalia gets pulled into the investigation last year. In many ways, it’s a fool’s errand. Even if, as Bragalia contends, the slides have been authenticated as vintage 1947 stock, the images could’ve been staged. The photographer is unknown. The time and location of the shots are unknown. The geologist is dead. Still, given the potential stakes, research proceeds, delving into the geologist’s friends, professional associates, the paper trail, the gritty thankless stuff that might produce the unanticipated revelation, or maybe another circumstantial payoff. Then, last month, word of the photos splatters urgently onto the Internet, which forces the researchers to respond. The blogosphere lights up with accusations and invective, character attacks and omniscient screeds from The Excluded, who have no more information than I do. After fielding late-night phone calls from angry strangers demanding to see the photos, Bragalia, who has never possessed them, delivers his own retort. The subsequent comment threads merely validate the slide owner’s aversion to going public. Things like “The slides either don't exist or they're fake and someone is the victim of a scam,” “Pure, unassailable *bleep*,” “put up or shut up,” and “YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!!!” Yeah, put me in, coach ... “How people can comment on evidence that hasn’t been presented yet is beyond me. The drama and the politics over this thing have overwhelmed the investigation,” says Bragalia, who drew fire from the "believer" side for proving, last year, to his satisfaction, the famous 1964 Socorro UFO incident was a student hoax. “We’ve found out a lot -- the back story, the chain of custody, the provenance of the film has been well established. But why present the evidence prematurely? An attorney representing clients wouldn’t ask a judge to make an early determination until he’d completed his own investigation.” Bragalia says the investigation is continuing, but without the photo owner coming forward to explain, this one's stillborn. But De Void gets it. Fifty years ago, confronted with the obligations of justice and history, Abraham Zapruder made the only choice he could. In a real sense, his life was no longer his own. At least his troubles were worth a measure of financial compensation. But imagine if you stumbled across something far murkier, something potentially Earth-rocking but also, perhaps, no more substantial than a Whoopee cushion. You have no agenda because you honestly don’t know what you’re dealing with. But it defies conventional wisdom. Stepping up will provoke swift and unpredictable emotional reaction, some of it inevitably unstable. Whatever money you could get for it — if you wanted to play that angle — would never be enough to buy back the blessed obscurity you forfeited on the gamble that your exhibit might write, or re-write, history. Right. Sorry, history -- you lose. devoid.blogs.heraldtribune.com/14130/the-chainsaw-blues/ - comment-9877

2002 SEALED AFFIDAVIT OF WALTER G. HAUTby Walter G. Haut
Posted 14:00 July 2, 2007 Photograph of Walter G. Haut DATE: December 26, 2002 WITNESS: Chris Xxxxxx NOTARY: Beverlee Morgan (1) My name is Walter G. Haut (2) I was born on June 2, 1922 (3) My address is 1405 W. 7th Street, Roswell, NM 88203 (4) I am retired. (5) In July, 1947, I was stationed at the Roswell Army Air Base in Roswell, New Mexico, serving as the base Public Information Officer. I had spent the 4th of July weekend (Saturday, the 5th, and Sunday, the 6th) at my private residence about 10 miles north of the base, which was located south of town. (6) I was aware that someone had reported the remains of a downed vehicle by midmorning after my return to duty at the base on Monday, July 7. I was aware that Major Jesse A. Marcel, head of intelligence, was sent by the base commander, Col. William Blanchard, to investigate. (7) By late in the afternoon that same day, I would learn that additional civilian reports came in regarding a second site just north of Roswell. I would spend the better part of the day attending to my regular duties hearing little if anything more. (8) On Tuesday morning, July 8, I would attend the regularly scheduled staff meeting at 7:30 a.m. Besides Blanchard, Marcel; CIC [Counterintelligence Corp] Capt. Sheridan Cavitt; Col. James I. Hopkins, the operations officer; Lt. Col. Ulysses S. Nero, the supply officer; and from Carswell AAF in Fort Worth, Texas, Blanchard's boss, Brig. Gen. Roger Ramey and his chief of staff, Col. Thomas J. Dubose were also in attendance. The main topic of discussion was reported by Marcel and Cavitt regarding an extensive debris field in Lincoln County approx. 75 miles NW of Roswell. A preliminary briefing was provided by Blanchard about the second site approx. 40 miles north of town. Samples of wreckage were passed around the table. It was unlike any material I had or have ever seen in my life. Pieces which resembled metal foil, paper thin yet extremely strong, and pieces with unusual markings along their length were handled from man to man, each voicing their opinion. No one was able to identify the crash debris. (9) One of the main concerns discussed at the meeting was whether we should go public or not with the discovery. Gen. Ramey proposed a plan, which I believe originated from his bosses at the Pentagon. Attention needed to be diverted from the more important site north of town by acknowledging the other location. Too many civilians were already involved and the press already was informed. I was not completely informed how this would be accomplished. (10) At approximately 9:30 a.m. Col. Blanchard phoned my office and dictated the press release of having in our possession a flying disc, coming from a ranch northwest of Roswell, and Marcel flying the material to higher headquarters. I was to deliver the news release to radio stations KGFL and KSWS, and newspapers the Daily Record and the Morning Dispatch. (11) By the time the news release hit the wire services, my office was inundated with phone calls from around the world. Messages stacked up on my desk, and rather than deal with the media concern, Col Blanchard suggested that I go home and "hide out." (12) Before leaving the base, Col. Blanchard took me personally to Building 84 [AKA Hangar P-3], a B-29 hangar located on the east side of the tarmac. Upon first approaching the building, I observed that it was under heavy guard both outside and inside. Once inside, I was permitted from a safe distance to first observe the object just recovered north of town. It was approx. 12 to 15 feet in length, not quite as wide, about 6 feet high, and more of an egg shape. Lighting was poor, but its surface did appear metallic. No windows, portholes, wings, tail section, or landing gear were visible. (13) Also from a distance, I was able to see a couple of bodies under a canvas tarpaulin. Only the heads extended beyond the covering, and I was not able to make out any features. The heads did appear larger than normal and the contour of the canvas suggested the size of a 10 year old child. At a later date in Blanchard's office, he would extend his arm about 4 feet above the floor to indicate the height. (14) I was informed of a temporary morgue set up to accommodate the recovered bodies. (15) I was informed that the wreckage was not "hot" (radioactive). (16) Upon his return from Fort Worth, Major Marcel described to me taking pieces of the wreckage to Gen. Ramey's office and after returning from a map room, finding the remains of a weather balloon and radar kite substituted while he was out of the room. Marcel was very upset over this situation. We would not discuss it again. (17) I would be allowed to make at least one visit to one of the recovery sites during the military cleanup. I would return to the base with some of the wreckage which I would display in my office. (18) I was aware two separate teams would return to each site months later for periodic searches for any remaining evidence. (19) I am convinced that what I personally observed was some type of craft and its crew from outer space. (20) I have not been paid nor given anything of value to make this statement, and it is the truth to the best of my recollection. Signed: Walter G. Haut December 26, 2002 Signature witnessed by: Chris Xxxxxxx [Source: Tom Carey & Donald Schmitt, Witness to Roswell, 2007] ufodigest.com/news/0707/haut.html

By John G. Kays "Barnett later described the bodies to a close friend. They were small creatures with large, pear shaped heads, skinny arms and legs, and no hair. They wore metallic-like, formfitting, gray suits that had no buttons or zippers or snaps." Page 31, UFO Crash at Roswell, by Kevin D. Randle and Donald R. Schmitt Bob Stack is like a long-lost friend; it`s sure good to see him again, after so many years have passed without his spirited presence. `The Best Of Unsolved Mysteries` arrived in my mailbox just two days ago, and in terms of happiness, I haven`t seen anything like it since I don`t know when. The episode which squeezes down tightly on the invisible vice of flaky fibers, comprising my grey-matter now/today, is `Roswell,` first aired on September 20, 1989 (Series No. 29, Season 2). While I may have been aware of this most famous of all time UFO tale, yet I do have to say, seeing it again on UMs, made me a true-believer once and for all time! Moreover, I observe, it put the hair-raising story before the American people, popularizing it to unimaginable levels! Since that time (the Fall of 1989) it never has tumbled from it`s popular pedestal. After viewing Segment 29 several times this afternoon, I was reminded that I had payed the Roswell UFO Museum (which is housed in an old movie theater) a visit in early May of 1998. This was an out-of-body experience, but only in the sense that I was more convinced than ever of its authenticity, (the aliens did crash in this desert). The fundamental question I was asking myself today had to be, is this a news story or is this a fable, a myth perhaps, a folklore perchance, or maybe even a big fairy tale? I`m convinced Roswell is a genuine news story, but one which took (to surface), a very reluctant, serpentine path, before reporters could get the facts to the newsroom for publication. Well, this is how I`m interpreting the Unsolved Mysteries episode (No. 29, not Area 51 silly!); that is, it just takes a very long time to make it`s appearance as a news report. After all, the Government had performed superbly, carefully covering it up, but fortunately, enough leaked out before they could tie-up a massive quantity of loose ends. I mean, they couldn`t just kill all these innocent American citizens; they did, however, tell many of them to keep their mouths shut, such as Mac Brazel or Lorretta and Floyd Proctor, and then there`s Sheriff George A. Wilcox, who saw with his own eyes some fragments of the strange (out-of-this-world) debris, and was forcefully urged to keep mum.

So it's fitting, then, that these portentous swirling supercells appeared over Roswell, New Mexico, near the U.S. military's secret Area 51 base, where it is widely believed a UFO crashed in 1947. Jody Miller, from California, tracks down extreme weather conditions like these, risking life and limb to photograph what are incredible examples of the power of nature.

In fact, it’s very interesting. Over at the Department of Defense’s website you can find a file that has been declassified via the Freedom of Information Act on the subject of Project Pandora (which, to a significant degree, was focused on Cold War secrets, and how microwaves can affect the mind and body). It’s a fascinating file that dates back decades. It’s a lengthy file, too; it runs to nearly 500 pages and is comprised of a number of notable documents. But, here’s the weird thing, if you scroll down to page 449, you’ll see that it contains a copy of the controversial “MJ12/Eisenhower Briefing Document” on the Roswell UFO affair of 1947! Of course, as most people within Ufology know, the document is one that has been the subject of much debate regarding its authenticity or otherwise. Indeed, the copy of the EBD in the Pandora file has a hand-written note on it stating that: “This cannot be authenticated as an official DoD document.” Well, that’s fair enough, and something that most people within Ufology would agree with – it has not been authenticated. But, here’s the issue, what is a copy of the EBD doing in a DoD file on Project Pandora? Let’s look at what we know. One of the biggest problems surrounding the Roswell case is the almost complete lack of documentation to support the claims that anything crashed or landed on the Foster Ranch, Lincoln County in July 1947. In 1987, however, the situation changed drastically. In that year, Timothy Good’s best-selling book, Above Top Secret, was published. One of the most controversial aspects of the book was the discussion of a document that allegedly originated with a classified research and development group established by the U.S. Government in 1947 to deal with the incident at Roswell. It was – so the story goes – variously known as Majestic 12, MAJIC 12, and MJ12. Classified “Top Secret/Majic Eyes Only,” the document can essentially be broken down into two parts. The first is a 1952 briefing prepared by Admiral Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter (the first Director of the CIA) for President-elect Eisenhower. It informed the president that an alien spacecraft was recovered at Roswell and briefed him on the MJ12 group, its activities and membership. The second is a 1947 memorandum from President Harry Truman to Secretary of Defense James Forrestal, authorizing the establishment of MJ12.

They reappeared seven hours later in a field of donkeys. According to the Daily Mail, the unidenitified men had admitted to drinking and had gone into the town identified with aliens and UFOs. The emergency responders arrived at the scene of the crash, but did not find the occupants of the car. Seven hours later, the driver called 911 and then said that he had no memory of the night. Lt. Emanuel Gutierriez of New Mexico State Police confirmed the incident. He told Plains Online News that the driver had said that he and his passenger were drinking and didn't remember what else happened. The driver also said that he had woken up in a field of donkeys. The famous Roswell Incident took place on July 8, 1947, when the local newspaper had reported that remains of a "flying saucer" had been captured by government officials. Conspiracy theorists believe that the debris came from an alien spacecraft and that the military was covering it up, reported a website dedicated to the incident. Rancher W.W. Brazel had said that he and the son of Floyd and Loretta Poctor, while riding on their horse the night before, had found unusual pieces of metal debris. He said that on further inspection, he had seen a trench, which was a few hundred feet in length. He took a few pieces of the debris and showed it to the Proctors. The Proctors told him that he might be holding wreckage from an alien spacecraft as a lot of UFO sightings had been reported then. Brazel went on to report the incident to Chaves County Sheriff George Wilcos, who went on to report it to Major Jesse Marcel CONTINUE READING: au.ibtimes.com/articles/567417/20140924/two-men-crashed-ufo-capital-roswell-alien.htm#.VCcYPVfQpF9 To contact the editor, e-mail: editor@ibtimes.com

mysteriousuniverse.org/2015/01/roswell-ufo-dont-be-a-dummy/ Roswell UFO: Don’t Be A Dummy January 13, 2015 by Nick Redfern Back in the summer of 1997, when the Roswell, New Mexico incident was all the news (due to the fact that the case – involving who the hell knows what – was then precisely 50 years old), the U.S. Air Force came out with a still-controversial report suggesting that the alleged “alien bodies” found outside of Roswell were very likely crash-test-dummies used in high-altitude experiments. The theory provoked a wealth of debate within the domain of Ufology, and even the mainstream media addressed the scenario with some doubt when it was demonstrated by eagle-eyed sleuths that the dummy tests didn’t even begin until 1952 – five years after Roswell occurred. No wonder the debate continues to rage and outraged Roswell obsessives continue to foam at the mouth. Anyway, for those who are interested, you can find one of the dummies in question on display at the UFO Museum at Roswell. But, that’s not all: there is one interesting (to me anyway!) thing about the crash-test dummy story that very rarely – if ever – gets touched upon. I have heard UFO researchers say time and again that it would be absurd to imagine that people could mistake dummies for aliens – chiefly because the dummies were all six-footers (or thereabouts), and the bodies at Roswell were said to have been only from three- to five-feet in height.

During the live streamed press conference a researcher said this image was based off of the “alien” from the slides. (Credit: Tercermilenio.tv) Roswell UFO researcher and author Tom Carey made headlines a few months ago when he told a crowd at an American University panel that he has photographs that are “smoking gun” evidence proving aliens are real. Today, more information about the photos were released on an online press conference, and the date set for when the photos will be revealed. The press conference was sponsored by Jaime Maussan, famous Mexican journalist and UFO investigator. On his website, TercerMilenio.tv, Maussan hosted an online press conference, and has been promoting the release of the photos as part of an event that will be held at the National Auditorium in Mexico City on May 5, 2015. Published on Feb 4, 2015 In 1998 a box of slides was discovered near Sedona, AZ. Two of the slides show a very unusual body in a glass case. This is what we know so far.

devoid.blogs.heraldtribune.com/15164/the-petroleum-geologists-tale/The petroleum geologist's taleBy Billy Cox, Herald-Tribune devoid.blogs.heraldtribune.com// Monday, February 9, 2015 De Void’s perverse and ongoing fascination with the timing of mindless media scrums got another shot in the arm last week. Who can explain these things? Water supplies spiked with time-released activation chemicals, maybe? Anyhow, yet another belated viral outbreak erupted a few days ago, about an otherwise forgettable story that took nearly a month to incubate. On Jan. 13, a New Zealand UFO magazine, Uncensored, ran with what it called a “frame-by-frame analysis” of a 36-second film purporting to show a dead alien from the 1947 Roswell incident. Naturally, Uncensored’s experts “determined that it was legitimate in every respect.” It went nowhere fast until, suddenly, beginning last Tuesday, it got splashed into the echo-chamber by the likes of The Independent, the Daily Mail and The Irish Mirror. And it was so gelastic even a hardcore ufologist labeled it “utter bullocks.” Uncensored’s experts were evidently unaware of the 2006 film “Alien Autopsy,” from which the snippet was lifted. “Alien Autopsy” was a clever dramatization of the hoax that snookered the Fox Channel (among others) in 1995, and that sorry event marked De Void’s own introduction to shameless hucksterism on the UFO front. So amid all these trashfires comes an announcement, last Wednesday, from Mexican broadcaster Jaime Maussan, that a couple of never-released-yet-hotly-contested dead Roswell alien photos that triggered a major hissy fit in 2013 will finally be going into the public domain. It was during a UFO lecture at American University in November that Witness To Roswell co-author Thomas Carey signaled his intention to release the pix sometime in 2015, and now it’s official: May 5, National Auditorium, live audience, 10,000-seat capacity, Mexico City. Among the guests at the formal unveiling will be Apollo moonwalker Edgar Mitchell. Shades of “King Kong” at Madison Square Garden. What makes this one considerably more interesting than the unsourced “Alien Autopsy” scam is the alleged provenance of the two Kodachrome slides, which were discovered as cleaners prepped the home of a deceased Arizona couple for an estate sale. Alejandro Rojas has been doing a pretty thorough job of fleshing it out at his Open Minds website, and you can catch the details there. Local angle for De Void: Sarasota researcher Tony Bragalia began digging into the identities of the homeowners, who had no heirs and evidently stashed the photos away in an attic trunk. Bragalia posted some of his findings last week. Chief among them was that homeowner Bernerd Ray “was an Oil Exploration Geologist working the fields in New Mexico and the Permian Basin (which includes the Roswell region) in the 1940s for a company that would later become part of Texas. In 1947 he was President of the Texas chapter of the American Institute of Petroleum Geologists, which also at that time ‘folded in’ the State of New Mexico. After 1947, Bernerd became a ‘ghost’ in his profession and did not publish nor appear to be active with the Institute ever again.” Some odds and ends to consider: CONTINUE READING: devoid.blogs.heraldtribune.com/15164/the-petroleum-geologists-tale/

www.openminds.tv/roswell-alien-slides-owner-speaks/32432 “Roswell Alien Slides” owner speaks outPosted by: Alejandro Rojas March 4, 2015 This blurred version of one of the slides is the only “alien” slide that has been given to the public thus far. (Credit: Slidebox Media) There has been a lot of online buzz around photographs that one researcher has called a “smoking gun” when it comes to proof that aliens are visiting Earth. Even though there are many articles, blogs, interviews, and forum posts about the pictures, the public has yet to actually see them. They will be displayed during a special event hosted by Mexican Broadcast Journalist Jaime Maussan in Mexico City on May 5, 2015. Among the buzz is speculation about what the pictures show, questions as to why they will be shown in Mexico, and questions as to how the pictures were found in the first place. The pictures are owned by a production company, and the owner of that company, Adam Dew, is creating a documentary about the slides titled Kodachrome. He says the trailer to Kodachrome shows everything they know to this point. However, as questions are answered, more arise. I caught up with Dew to ask him about some of the outstanding questions and to address some of the speculation out there. Dew was interviewed as one of the researchers when the May 5 event was announced. The trailer to his documentary was also revealed at that time. However, Dew’s role was not apparent, and the tie between he and the documentary were not either. I asked Dew about his background and how he got involved with the slides. Dew says his background is in journalism and video production. He graduated from Northwestern University in 1998 with a degree in journalism. He then went on to cover high school sports. In about 2003/2004 he started his own video production company called Varsity Tape. They shoot recruitment videos for high school athletes. He says he also freelances for CBS Sports, Yahoo!, and USA Today. He also has corporate clients for PR, video shooting and editing. He got involved with the slides around 2008. They were discovered by his friend’s sister in 1998. She found a box of photographs while she was cleaning out a house to prepare it for an estate sale near Sedona, Arizona. Dew says she is a bit of a hoarder and just threw them in her garage. She finally looked at them in 2008. CONTINUE READING: www.openminds.tv/roswell-alien-slides-owner-speaks/32432

kevinrandle.blogspot.com/2015/04/max-littell-and-roswell-nuns.htmlFriday, April 24, 2015 Max Littell and the Roswell NunsPosted by Kevin Randle / www.blogger.com/profile/06333125414889883920I suppose this could be called another of my “Chasing Footnotes” posts, but that isn’t quite right. Many will remember that Lance Moody was annoyed with me for the Catholic Nuns story as outlined in The Truth about the UFO Crash at Roswell. I won’t dwell on that and those who wish to read about it can use the search engines supplied or look at: kevinrandle.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-nuns-story-roswell-edition.htmlWhat brings this up is that I found another reference to the nuns in a publication that I had no hand in. According to that booklet called, The Jim Ragsdale Story: Mother Superior Mary Bernadette and Sister Capistrano reported seeing a bright object plunging toward the ground late in the evening of July 4, 1947. The two Sisters were on duty at St. Mary’s Hospital, located on South Main Street in Roswell, New Mexico. Many points of concurrence do fit the reports of others, especially Jim Ragsdale’s eye witness account of a UFO crash, during this rather short time frame. Be assured that the nuns told it exactly like it was on that 4th of July night in 1947. The author, who is unidentified in the booklet but is probably Max Littell, then, wrote, “Let us do some speculating together with established facts and figures.”He suggested that some might believe the nuns could have been watching fireworks set off by Roswell residents celebrating the nation’s birthday. But he also wrote that the nuns would have known the difference between the fireworks and the bright object they saw. He uses the location of the hospital as a way of suggesting that the nuns were looking toward the west and would have been able to see the object fall near Boy Scout Mountain some fifty miles away where Ragsdale, in later years, claimed he was camping. This was some of the new corroboration for the Ragsdale tale, according to Littell. While I could suggest this is also independent corroboration of the nun’s story, I don’t actually know that it is. Littell worked very hard to remove all trace of Don Schmitt and me from the Ragsdale tale and I have no doubt this extended to his coverage of the nun’s story. In a chapter called “Max Littell Meets Jim Ragsdale,” he wrote, “In 1993, shortly after opening the Museum, we did have an investigator/author visiting us, and when his partner took the car on another errand, he needed a ride to his motel. I offered, and the individual said, ‘Great, but I need to go by and see a party on the way… This party turned out to be Jim Ragsdale.” CONTINUE READING: kevinrandle.blogspot.com/2015/04/max-littell-and-roswell-nuns.html

kevinrandle.blogspot.com/2015/04/max-littell-and-roswell-nuns.htmlFriday, April 24, 2015 Max Littell and the Roswell NunsPosted by Kevin Randle / www.blogger.com/profile/06333125414889883920I suppose this could be called another of my “Chasing Footnotes” posts, but that isn’t quite right. Many will remember that Lance Moody was annoyed with me for the Catholic Nuns story as outlined in The Truth about the UFO Crash at Roswell. I won’t dwell on that and those who wish to read about it can use the search engines supplied or look at: kevinrandle.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-nuns-story-roswell-edition.htmlWhat brings this up is that I found another reference to the nuns in a publication that I had no hand in. According to that booklet called, The Jim Ragsdale Story: Mother Superior Mary Bernadette and Sister Capistrano reported seeing a bright object plunging toward the ground late in the evening of July 4, 1947. The two Sisters were on duty at St. Mary’s Hospital, located on South Main Street in Roswell, New Mexico. Many points of concurrence do fit the reports of others, especially Jim Ragsdale’s eye witness account of a UFO crash, during this rather short time frame. Be assured that the nuns told it exactly like it was on that 4th of July night in 1947. The author, who is unidentified in the booklet but is probably Max Littell, then, wrote, “Let us do some speculating together with established facts and figures.”He suggested that some might believe the nuns could have been watching fireworks set off by Roswell residents celebrating the nation’s birthday.

www.theufochronicles.com/2015/03/stanton-friedman-chimes-in-on-alleged.html Monday, March 30, 2015 Stanton Friedman Chimes in On Alleged Roswell Alien Slides and His Declination to Participate in Upcoming Show The “Roswell Slides”: Commentary by Stanton Friedman March 29, 2015 "I could find no convincing information that there is any connection between the slides and Roswell." I keep being asked my views about the so-called “Roswell” Slides. So, let me summarize my position. I have tried to obtain as much information as possible and responded with interest when at the International UFO Congress in Scottsdale, Arizona, in Mid-February, I was interviewed by journalist Jaime Maussan of Mexico City who has arranged for a huge event focused on the slides. I recall the so called Roswell Autopsy which turned out to be a fiasco. I had spoken with Ray Santilli over the phone, checked on a number of his claims which turned out to be false, met with him twice in England and even had some comments distributed at his big press conference. Jaime invited me to attend the May 5, Mexico City, conference as had Don Schmitt. My expenses would be paid. My first thought was that since I would be asked about my views, as the original civilian investigator of the Roswell crashed saucer event, it would be nice to have first hand information. This being the worst winter in our 35 years in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada, it would also be nice to get to some warm weather. So I read as much as I could, positive and negative. I have not held copies of the slides. I could find no convincing information that there is any connection between the slides and Roswell. How would an outsider gain access to the real bodies? I worked under security for 14 years and have been to classified facilities in New Mexico. The barriers are tough. I have seen no specific data to convince me that these are phony. But that doesn’t establish a connection with Roswell events. Yes, I am still convinced that alien spacecraft with bodies on board crashed near Corona, in the Plains of San Augustin, and near Aztec. But I don’t want to appear to add legitimacy by my presence in Mexico City in the absence of serious evidence of the slides being what is being claimed they are. Absence of evidence is NOT evidence of absence and I have a large “gray” basket. www.theufochronicles.com/2015/03/stanton-friedman-chimes-in-on-alleged.html VISIT STAN'S SITE: www.stantonfriedman.com/Published on Mar 21, 2013 At the recent 2013 International UFO Congress, Open Minds awarded Stanton Friedman the Lifetime Achievement Award.

If real, the Roswell Slides would change the world, but having investigated UFOs for the UK Government, I don't think they're genuine.*************************************************************************
