     ParaNet  (Denver, CO)--October 11, 1989--July 2, 1947  could
be  a day that will go down in infamy in the history of  UFOlogy.
The  place--Roswell,  New  Mexico.   The  event--A  crash  of  an
intelligent,  biological entity controlled, highly  sophisticated
machine  from literally out of this world.  So says the  team  of
Don  Schmitt, Regional Director of the J. Allen Hynek Center  for
UFO  Studies  (CUFOS) of Chicago, Illinois, and Kevin  Randle,  a
former  Captain in Air Force intelligence who  began  researching
this  highly controversial report from July, 1947.
     According  to  the reports, a UFO crashed during  a  violent
thunderstorm in a very remote area of the Brazel ranch  northeast
of  Corona,  New  Mexico  around  July  2,  1947.   As  has  been
previously  reported,  the crash site was quickly cleaned  up  by
personnel  from  Roswell  Army Air Force  Base  in  Roswell,  New
Mexico.   Jesse  Marcel was quoted as stating that  the  material
that he found in the desert was not of this world and was ordered
to  fly  the  remains  to Carswell AFB in  Texas  where  a  press
conference  was held to tell the nation that the  material  found
was  that  of a crashed weather  balloon.   Further,  unconfirmed
reports,  claimed that alien bodies were also recovered  and  all
remains  were  taken  to  the infamous  'Hangar  18'  at  Wright-
Patterson  AFB  in Dayton, Ohio where a tight  security  lid  was
clamped  down on the study of the find.  To date, virtually  none
of  this material has ever been substantiated.  According to  Don
Schmitt,  a coverup of major proportions has ensued for  over  42
years as to the true nature of the Roswell crash.
     When  Schmitt  attempted to reconstruct a time line  of  the
incident,  he  found  too  many  pieces  missing  and  began   an
investigation in September, 1987 to determine what those  missing
pieces  really  were.  He enlisted the aid of  former  Air  Force
Intelligence  Captain  Kevin  Randle, whom  Schmitt  stated,  was
totally  a  skeptic.  He was friends of Phil Klass,  and  Schmitt
wanted  such a skeptic involved in the investigation.   According
to Schmitt, Randle 'has total conviction' in UFOs now.
     During  the  investigation,  a  definitive  time  line   was
established from July 2, 1947 to July 10, 1947, and it was  found
that there were numerous witnesses to the incident that had never
been  found  nor had been interviewed.  From this  point  onward,
Schmitt and Randle made four trips to New Mexico and other  parts
of  the  country  interviewing the witnesses  to  this  incident.
Locating  the exact location of the crash, with the help of  Bill
Brazel,  the son of the rancher that originally made the  awesome
discovery,  Schmitt  and Randle and some scientists  conducted  a
survey  and excavation of the crash site.  Jerome  Clark,  editor
for  the CUFOS bi-monthly publication IUR, stated that the  crash
site  was  in  an extremely remote area.   The  findings  of  the
excavation  of  that  area  will  be  detailed  in  an   upcoming
publication of IUR.
     William  Moore  and  Charles Berlitz  drew  national  public
attention  to this incident with the publication of 'The  Roswell
Incident' in 1980.  During the investigation, Schmitt found  that
the  material  in the book was "highly inaccurate, and  had  much
paraphrasing and many misquotes with very misleading  information
which  really surprised us."  The CUFOS investigation has  turned
up some very interesting facts and is "specifically attacking the
military involvement with Roswell," Schmitt stated.
     "There  is clear evidence of a coverup.  More  evidence,  in
fact,  of  a coverup than ever before.  In fact we  can  pinpoint
where  it originated, the time line, the manner and  degree  with
which  it  took place," Schmitt said.  "And, where  the  specific
orders  were  coming from.  Originally, Moore  talked  about  one
flight  in the book with Jesse Marcel.  We have found  two  other
flights  with other people and have tracked down  those  crewmen.
So  far, I have tracked down a dozen former military  people  who
were involved who have never been interviewed."
     When  asked  about why this material was  never  brought  to
light with Ruppelt or Keyhoe in their previous writings,  Schmitt
states, "The coverup was so effective at that time.  If you think
back to July, 1947, the intelligence network was at its peak just
coming  off the war.  Everything was still in place and  in  high
gear.  They so quickly removed it from the intelligence office in
Roswell.   The Pentagon became involved immediately.  All  orders
were  going through counterintelligence and we have  pinned  down
those people involved.  They still deny involvement, but we  have
other people that testify to their involvement.  So, the  coverup
is  still ongoing.  That surprised us too.  That 42  years  after
the fact, we still have these people that confidentially tell  us
'that we still cannot talk about it.'"
     When  asked  how  the MJ-12 material is  affected  by  this,
Schmitt   states,   "It  is  the  reason   behind   our   initial
investigation.  That if the purpose behind the MJ-12 document was
disinformation,  it was to strike a death blow to Roswell we  had
to make a distinction and make it in a hurry."  However, although
some   details  about  Roswell  that  have  surfaced  from   this
investigation that confirm such a group, there is no firm link to
them.   Stan  Friedman  has been encouraged  by  Don  Schmitt  to
continue  seeking the truth about MJ-12.  It is noted  here  that
Stan Friedman is conducting a cooperative investigation in  light
of these new facts about Roswell.  There is corroboration between
Friedman  and  CUFOS.  According to Schmitt, the focus  of  their
investigation is Roswell and the details behind the crash.
     It  appears that some very interesting things are  surfacing
on this.  According to Jerome Clark, "The Roswell Incident is the
most important known UFO event in history.  By the time that this
investigation  is over it will shape our future understanding  of
the UFO phenomenon.  This investigation gets to the very core  of
all issues."
     In  closing, Clark stated that such questions as  "Are  UFOs
real?  Are they physical and intelligently controlled?  Are  they
piloted  by  Biological Entities that originate outside  of  this
world?"  The answers could be a resounding, YES!!
