New Witnesses Update
Here is a brief look at a few of the new witnesses we have
uncovered since the publication of "The Truth About the UFO Crash
at Roswell." As word gets out, and more people find the courage
to come forward, the puzzle that is Roswell begins to take shape.
We will bring you this new evidence as we uncloak it.
* While in Portland, Oregon during our last visit, we had the
pleasure of talking with Terrie Randall. Her father was
Tech Sgt. Charles Randall (deceased 1976). He described his
personal involvement to her in 1953. Terrie told us her
father held some of the material and didn't like handling it
for fear of its effects. Sgt. Randall added that some of
the personnel who cleaned up the debris were also afraid to
touch it.
* One of the special guard units to arrive at the impact site
just north of Roswell, was headquartered at White Sands in
Alamogordo. In our latest book, we mentioned Lieutenant
Colonel Albert Lovejoy Duncan, a member of that unit who
confirmed their assignment and acknowledged witnessing the
"bodies." Recently, another member of that unit was
interviewed and confirmed the site just north of Roswell,
west off of HWY. 285. He added a most interesting
observation. "Being posted on 285, we couldn't help but
comment between ourselves that if that thing would have just
stayed in the air a moment longer, it would have crashed
right in the middle of the highway." (See Map on page 9)
* On July 5, 1947, a local farmer, Sherman Campbel of
Circleville, Ohio, discovered on his property a six pointed
star shaped kite, fifty inches high by forty-eight inches
wide which was wrapped in foil. It was briefly thought to
be part of a UFO but was soon identified by the local
sheriff as part of a weather balloon complete with plainly
visible serial numbers.
The story was carried by newspapers across the country as
part of the flood of UFO sightings of the summer of 1947.
The story included photographs of Campbell's daughter, Jean,
standing with the very intact kite in front of her.
According to Jean, they were allowed to keep the device for
years to come without the slightest suggestions of anything
out of the ordinary. Due to all of the national publicity,
no doubt military officials, specifically in Dayton, Ohio
(which is not far from Circleville), may have had the
solution to Roswell, or at least the cover story, literally
drop from the skies.
It is interesting to note that the Randalls were able to
keep their weather balloon while all of the pieces of the
"weather balloon" that crashed near Roswell were carefully
collected and confiscated. Also, the published photographs
of the Circleville kite contain precisely the same type of
kite debris that were shown to and photographed by the press
in General Ramey's office on July 8th 1947 as part of the
cover up. Now, if today, the Air Force is speculating its a
Project Mogul Balloon in Forth Worth... well, you understand
the point. The Air Force can't have it both ways.
* Thanks to the efforts and cooperation of John Price of The
UFO Enigma Museum in Roswell and Don Ecker of UFO Magazine,
we have yet another first hand witness to the recovered
bodies. Thomas L. Gonzales, a sergeant with Squadron T. of
the 509th Bomb Group, was one of those assigned to guard the
impact site. He has corroborated its location close to
Roswell and the retrieval of bodies which he called, "little
men." Gonzales described them as having eyes and heads that
were slightly larger than human. He also referred to the
crashed object as an "airfoil."
* Within the past six months, we have been fortunate to learn
the whereabouts of the base navigators from both Roswell and
White Sands in 1947. According to one, White Sands was
indeed tracking an unknown object prior to the crash. The
gentleman once assigned to Roswell did acknowledge the
tracking of an object at Kirtland in Albuquerque as well,
but when queried about Roswell, he responded, "Don't ask me
about that." We intend to follow up so stay tuned.
* Robert Wolf, a native of New Mexico and a famous country
fiddle player, was a stock owner of radio station KGFL in
1947. You will recall that ranch foreman, Mac Brazel, was
interviewed by Frank Joyce at KGFL, regarding the found
debris. Later, under watch of military guard, Mr. Brazel
retracted his original story. According to Wolf, about a
month after the story died down, he observed Brazel at the
Mitchell Feed and Grainery loading a new 1947 Ford pickup
truck. New vehicles always attracted the attention of the
locals and Brazel's especially caught the attention of Wolf
who was declined any explanation by the rancher.
* Finally, an item from the January 15, 1954 issue of the APRO
Bulletin, the official publication of the Aerial Phenomenon
Research Organization. APRO, which is now defunct, was the
first civilian organization devoted to the study of UFOs and
was based in Tucson, Arizona. Contained within the
editorial comments of that issue is the following, "We have
appointed an honorary member to APRO who has been passed on
by officers of the national groups, but whom we are not
able, at least at the present time, to name. He is an
astronomer and an intelligent man." The unnamed scientist
was none other than Dr. Lincoln La Paz. He was the former
Manhattan Project scientist and meteroritics expert who was
called in by the military to inspect the crash site. It was
his job to figure out the speed and trajectory of the craft
when it hit, if possible. Together, with CIC agent Lewis
Rickett, La Paz discovered a touchdown point five miles from
the debris field that contained more debris and sand that
was apparently crystallized from an intense amount of heat.

This is a map of New Mexico, shown the two sites and their
relation to Roswell. Notice how close the craft came to actually
crashing on HWY 285.
