Roswell UAP Crash

“On 5 July 1947, a ranch foreman named Mac Brazel found crash debris scattered across a cattle ranch 120 kilometres from Roswell in New Mexico.”

“At midday on the same day, 8 July 1947, Blanchard ordered his base public information officer Lieutenant Walter Haut to issue a press release announcing that the US Army had recovered a flying disc.”

“The initial press release issued by the US Army clearly referred to a recovered 'flying disc'. It began: 'The many rumors regarding the flying disc became a reality yesterday when the intelligence office of 509th Bomb Group of the Eighth Air Force, Roswell Army Air Field, was fortunate enough to gain possession of a disc.'”

“'RAAF Captures Flying Saucer on Ranch in Roswell Region', Roswell Daily Record, 8 Jul 1947, p. 1.”

“Just three hours after the noon Roswell press release, General Ramey issued a new statement through Associated Press asserting that the supposed flying disc was simply a weather balloon.”

“Marcel described a massive field of debris 1200 metres long and 60 to 90 metres wide. There was allegedly a gouge in the field that extended up to 150 metres long, which looked as if 'something had touched down and skipped along'.”

“he claimed he had been ordered to collude in a cover-up and dramatically alleged in multiple interviews that the real debris he brought with him that day from Roswell was substituted by General Ramey with wreckage from an old weather balloon, and that he actually believed what crashed at Roswell was extra-terrestrial.”

“In retirement, Marcel told the 'real' story to nuclear physicist and self-described flying saucer researcher Stanton Friedman. Friedman then alleged a 'cosmic Watergate cover-up' of a recovered alien spacecraft and alien bodies.”

“The air force's 1994 report claimed the wreckage that was recovered was from a then top-secret balloon project designed to monitor Soviet nuclear tests, known as Project MOGUL.”

“As the US Congress's General Accounting Office discovered during its 1995 review of the incident's paperwork, not a single document from the Roswell Army Airfield in the crash period survives; every bit of paper relating to this 1947 incident was destroyed with no apparent authorisation.”

“He also pushed for the General Accounting Office's 1995 review of all the Roswell papers, which reported that the Roswell records were destroyed without authority.”

“he alleged that Blanchard allowed him to see an apparent alien craft in a hangar 'approx. 12 to 15 feet in length, not quite as wide, about 6 feet high and more of an egg shape.'”

“There is also the extraordinary deathbed affidavit of former US Army public information officer Lieutenant Walter Haut, who testified in 2002 that he was taken out to a hangar by Colonel Blanchard to view recovered child-sized bodies with abnormally large heads, lying under a tarpaulin at the base.”

“'We prepared the statement based on all the information that Walter had provided us through the years. And he read through it; his daughter was present. There was a notary present, there was another witness present.'”

“Affidavit of First Lt Walter G. Haut, 26 Dec 2002, Carey and Schmitt, Witness to Roswell, Ch. 25.”

“some days later the government disseminated a cover story about recovering nothing more harmless than a weather balloon. To convince the public, they trotted out pieces of Mylar for journalists to photograph.”

“For years later, the government claimed that the downed craft was part of 'Project Mogul,' an early attempt by the US Army Air Corps to detect Soviet atomic testing by affixing microphones to high-altitude balloons.”

“The government has revised the Roswell cover story at least twice more in the ensuing seventy-odd years, replacing the first lie with more clever lies.”

“Hal went on to tell me something else that truly blew my mind. Four deceased nonhuman bodies were in fact recovered from the 1947 Roswell crash.”

“"Well… it all goes back to Roswell in 1947." … "Yes, Lue, it was real."”

“A UAP fell that day in the vicinity of a government test facility in New Mexico and broke into two crash sites.”

“It was hypothesized that the UAP that crashed at Roswell had been conducting some sort of reconnaissance on our budding atomic program when the unexpected happened. An electromagnetic pulse generated from one of the nearby test ranges had inadvertently intervened with the craft's technology and caused it to crash.”

“Hal Puthoff appeared in my office to share a fascinating theory. He had been thinking a lot about how the Roswell crash was believed to have been caused by DoD experiments with electromagnetic pulse (EMP) energy, a by-product of the atomic bomb, at one of the nearby test ranges.”

“Hal's theory: If the Roswell aircraft were downed with an EMP by accident, this could mean the aircraft had an Achilles' heel... Was it the aircraft's propulsion system? Its avionics, or electronics, systems? Its life-support systems?”

“Hal had in his possession material allegedly recovered from the Roswell crash. It was an intricate and fragile piece revealing multiple microscopic layers of interlacing bismuth and magnesium. It also seemed to have a beveled edge.”

“numerous witnesses associated with the 1947 Roswell crashes told government officials they saw hieroglyphics on various pieces of the debris, but they were told not to discuss this publicly.”

“in July 1947, US Signal Corps engineers tracked two anomalous objects flying across the south-western United States, the craft sometimes hovering before continuing to fly on”

“immediately, the office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff . . . took command and control and recovered the airframe and some propulsion equipment, including the crashed craft's power plant, or energy source”

“Jacobsen's extraordinary assertion that what crashed at Roswell was actually Russian, crafted by captured Nazi Germany scientists”

“bodies found on the craft were those of 'grotesquely deformed' children with unusually large heads and abnormally-shaped oversize eyes”

“As Annie Jacobsen also claimed, DeLonge averred he was told the Roswell crash was a Nazi-built Russian flying saucer.”

“The corpses of its dead alien comrades were sent to the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio”

“He once confided to Hal and Eric that his family was among the Roswell families who were threatened by the FBI after the famous Roswell crashes. FBI agents visited ranchers in the region, going door-to-door to deliver the threatening message: if you speak about the crashes, you will be killed.”

“Credible sources, including those involved at AATIP, told me the facts from several historic UAP crashes from which nonhuman bodies were recovered by the US, in addition to the Roswell crash.”

“Strieber told the Senator in his letter that US Army Brigadier General Arthur Exon had told him personally in 1989 that there was a 'completely unequivocal cover-up' of a retrieved alien craft at Roswell and 'it went from [President Harry] Truman on down'.”

“Mark McCandlish testified to the Disclosure Project hearing at the National Press Club that the US government had successfully reverse-engineered a spacecraft retrieved from the 1947 Roswell crash site to build three so-called alien reproduction vehicles (ARVs).”

“After the pilot Kenneth Arnold's famous 1947 UAP sighting, which was a couple of weeks before the Roswell crashes”

“When I was president, we made every attempt to find out everything about Roswell… . There are lots of mysteries out there… . It should keep us humble. There is a lot of stuff we don't know.”
