TIME FOR THE TRUTH ABOUT ROSWELL (Written by Kent Jeffrey)
Forty-seven years ago, an incident occurred in the southwestern
desert of the United States that could have significant
implications for all mankind. The incident was announced by the
U.S. military, subsequently denied by the U.S. military, and has
remained veiled in government secrecy ever since. Although it
is in a category fraught with false claims and hoaxes, it is not
a hoax or false claim, but rather a known event that is
thoroughly documented. It is the objective here to summarize
the details of that event, affirm the right of all people
throughout the world to know the truth about what occurred, and
propose a course of action that will allow that truth to emerge.
The event took place during the first week of July 1947 and
involved the recovery of wreckage by the military from a remote
ranch northwest of Roswell, New Mexico. There is now
considerable testimony from former members of the military known
to have been involved, including two brigadier generals, that
the recovered material was not of terrestrial origin.
Admittedly, such a claim taxes the limits of credibility for
discerning and rational individuals. It also tends to evoke a
response of immediate dismissal. The preponderance of evidence,
however, indicates the event occurred.
On January 12, 1994, United States Congressman Steven Schiff of
Albuquerque, New Mexico, stated to the press that he had been
stonewalled by the Defense Department when requesting
information regarding the 1947 Roswell event on behalf of
constituents and witnesses. Indicating he was seeking further
investigation into the matter, Congressman Schiff called the
Defense Department's lack of response "astounding" and concluded
it was apparently "another government coverup."
Most people are not aware that there exists an event of this
nature so well substantiated. In the next year public awareness
of the Roswell incident should grow. A new hardcover book has
been released, a television movie will premiere, and a serious
documentary is forthcoming. Questions, controversy, and a
general distrust of U.S. Government policy in this area are
bound to increase.
Detailed information on the recovery of the wreckage at Roswell
and of related events is extensive. Some years ago
investigators were able to obtain a copy of the 1947 Roswell
Army Air Field yearbook. This enabled them to locate witnesses
throughout the country. Newspaper accounts show that during
late June and early July 1947, there was a wave of reports of
"flying disks" (UFOs) throughout the United States and Canada.
Many of those reports came from credible witnesses, including
pilots and other trained observers.
Sometime during the first week of July 1947, a local New Mexico
rancher, Mac Brazel, while riding out in the morning to check
his sheep after a night of intense thunderstorms, discovered a
considerable amount of unusual debris. It had created a shallow
gouge several hundred feet long and was scattered over a large
area. Some of the debris had strange physical properties.
After taking a few pieces to show his neighbors, Floyd and
Loretta Proctor, Brazel drove into Roswell and contacted the
sheriff, George Wilcox. Sheriff Wilcox notified authorities at
Roswell Army Air Field and with the assistance of his deputies,
proceeded to investigate the matter. Shortly after becoming
involved, the military closed off the area for a number of days
and retrieved the wreckage. It was initially taken to Roswell
Army Air Field and eventually flown by B-29 and C-54 aircraft to
Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio.
Roswell Army Air Field was the home of the 509th Bomb Group,
which was an elite outfit -- the only atomic group in the world.
On the morning of July 8, 1947, Colonel William Blanchard,
Commander of the 509th Bomb Group, issued a press release
stating that the wreckage of a "crashed disk" (UFO) had been
recovered. The press release was transmitted over the wire
services in time to make headlines in over thirty U.S. afternoon
newspapers that same day.
Within hours, a second press release was issued from the office
of General Roger Ramey, Commander of the Eighth Air Force at
Fort Worth Army Air Field in Texas, 400 miles from the crash
site. It rescinded the first press release and, in effect,
claimed that Colonel Blanchard and the officers of the 509th
Bomb Group at Roswell had made an unbelievably foolish mistake
and somehow incorrectly identified a weather balloon and its
radar reflector as the wreckage of a "crashed disk."
One of those two press releases had to be untrue. There is now
solid testimony from numerous credible military and civilian
witnesses who were directly involved, that the "crashed disk"
press release issued by Colonel William Blanchard of the 509th
Bomb Group from Roswell was true and that the subsequent
"weather balloon" press release from Eighth Air Force
Headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas, was a hastily contrived cover
story.
Those who knew and worked with William Blanchard say he was a
solid, no-nonsense, businesslike individual, and not someone who
would make a fool of himself and the Air Force by ordering a
press release about something as out of the ordinary and
dramatic as the event at Roswell without being certain he was
correct. In other words, if Blanchard issued a press release
saying there was a crashed disk, there was a crashed disk.
Colonel William Blanchard would later go on to become a
four-star general and Vice Chief of Staff of the United States
Air Force.
The first witness located by investigators who was willing to
testify and allow his name to be used was retired Lieutenant
Colonel Jesse Marcel, the intelligence officer of the 509th Bomb
Group at Roswell. He was a highly competent individual and one
of the first two military officers at the actual crash site. In
a 1979 videotaped interview, Jesse Marcel stated, "...it was not
a weather balloon, nor was it an airplane or a missile." As to
the exotic properties of some of the material, he stated, "It
would not burn...that stuff weighs nothing, it's so thin, it
isn't any thicker than the tinfoil in a pack of cigarettes. So,
I tried to bend the stuff. It wouldn't bend. We even tried
making a dent in it with a sixteen-pound sledge hammer. And
there was still no dent in it."
It is inconceivable that a man of Jesse Marcel's qualifications
and experience, the intelligence officer of the only atomic-bomb
group in the world, would have mistaken any kind of conventional
wreckage, much less the remains of a weather balloon and its
radar reflector, for that of a craft or vehicle that in his
words was "not of this earth." Even if he had initially made
such a gross misidentification, he would certainly have been
able to see his mistake later after it had been brought to his
attention. When returning to the base, he stopped by his house
with a few pieces of the unusual wreckage to show his wife and
eleven-year-old son. One piece, a small section of I-beam, had
strange hieroglyphic like symbols on its surface. His son, Dr.
Jesse Marcel, Jr., now a practicing medical doctor and qualified
National Guard helicopter pilot and flight surgeon, remembers
the incident well. He has been able to produce detailed
drawings of some of the symbols. During his career, Jesse
Marcel Sr., went on to other important assignments, including
the preparation of a report on the first Soviet nuclear
detonation, which went directly to President Truman.
The late General Thomas DuBose was a colonel and General Ramey's
chief of staff at Eighth Air Force Headquarters in Forth Worth,
Texas, in 1947. Before his death in 1992, General DuBose
testified that he himself had taken the telephone call from
General Clements McMullen at Andrews Army Air Field in
Washington, D.C., ordering the coverup. The instructions were
for General Ramey to concoct a "cover story" to "get the press
off our backs."
Retired General Arthur E. Exon was stationed at Wright Field in
Dayton, Ohio, as a lieutenant colonel in July of 1947 during the
time the wreckage from Roswell was brought in. In a 1990
interview, General Exon said of the testing, "Everything from
chemical analysis, stress tests, compression tests, flexing. It
was brought into our material evaluation labs. (Some of it)
could be easily ripped or changed...there were other parts of it
that were very thin but awfully strong and couldn't be dented
with heavy hammers...." Of the men that did the testing, he
said, "...the overall consensus was that the pieces were from
space."
The testimony of Mr. Glenn Dennis leaves little doubt about the
nature of what was recovered in 1947. Glenn Dennis still lives
in the Roswell, New Mexico, area and is a respected businessman
and member of the community. He is down-to-earth and
straightforward. In 1947 Glenn Dennis was a young mortician
working for the Ballard Funeral Home, which had a contract to
provide mortuary and ambulance services for Roswell Army Air
Field.
Prior to learning about the recovery of the unusual wreckage at
Roswell, he received several telephone calls one afternoon from
the mortuary officer at the air field. He was asked about the
availability of small, hermetically sealed caskets and
questioned about how to preserve bodies that had been exposed to
the elements for several days. There was concern about possibly
altering the chemical composition of the tissue.
Later that evening, as a result of unrelated events, he made a
trip to the base hospital. Outside the back entrance he
observed two military ambulances with open rear doors, from
which large pieces of wreckage protruded, including one with a
row of unusual symbols on its surface. Once inside, he
encountered a young nurse whom he knew. At that same instant,
he was noticed by military police, who physically threatened him
and forcibly escorted him from the building.
He met with the nurse the next day, and she explained what had
been going on at the hospital. She was a very religious person
and was upset to the point of being in a state of shock. She
described how she had been called in to assist two doctors who
were doing autopsies on several small nonhuman bodies. She
described the terrible smell, how one body was in good shape and
the others mangled, and the differences between their anatomy
and human anatomy. She also drew a diagram on a napkin showing
an outline of their features. That meeting was to be their last
-- she was transferred to England a few days later.
Today, the nurse would be sixty-nine years old. Investigators
are attempting to locate her. Five nurses are pictured in the
1947 Roswell Army Air Field yearbook. The files of all five are
strangely missing from military records.
The main part of the craft apparently came down some distance
from the "debris field" at the Brazel ranch. Researchers were
only recently able to confirm this second site because few
people knew about it. According to witness testimony, this is
also the site where the bodies were found. Most of the
witnesses to this site have not, in fear of government reprisal,
allowed their names to be used. A prestigious law firm has
recently been retained to provide legal counsel to any such
witnesses who might consider going public with their testimony.
Attorneys from the firm have already met with several Roswell
witnesses.
In addition to Glenn Dennis, other witnesses were physically
threatened or intimidated. According to members of Sheriff
Wilcox's family, he was told by the military, in the presence of
his wife, that he and his entire family would be killed if he
ever spoke about what he had seen. The rancher who originally
discovered the wreckage, Mac Brazel, was sequestered by the
military for almost a week and sworn to secrecy. He never spoke
about the incident again, even to his family. In the months
following the incident, his son, Bill Brazel, found and
collected a few "scraps" of material, which he kept in a cigar
box. The material was eventually confiscated by the military.
