3
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:10,454
Excuse me just a moment.
4
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,120
Thatโs okay, thatโs okay.
5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:13,960
Donโt you want a drink or something?
6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,574
No, I just wish this whole
thing could go away.
7
00:00:21,240 --> 00:00:22,560
It doesnโt go away.
8
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,080
Most certainly the people
who have this information
9
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:31,520
for the most part would love to
share it with their loved ones, to share it
10
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,440
with their grandchildren, to
share it with humanity in general.
11
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,920
We're not paid a penny for anything.
12
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:44,000
I'm hoping that they will
someday release the information.
13
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:47,360
It's information of such
great consequence that it's
14
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,760
something that should
be shared by all humanity.
15
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:51,720
It's not something
that should be limited to
16
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,800
a privileged few within the
United States government.
17
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:59,680
The only reason we're doing this
is to try and get as much of the truth
18
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,680
out as we can while
some of us are still alive.
19
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,440
Well now, Doctor, could
they be hallucinations or
20
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,520
some other misrepresented objects?
21
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,680
They could, but I am firmly convinced that
22
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,920
such an explanation is
not valid for all of them.
23
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,120
Might be in few cases, but they are
24
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,720
still remaining a solid
block of very reliable,
25
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:27,080
good observations which cannot
be explained by such means.
26
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,040
I think we are entitled to know
what's happening in this world.
27
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:32,240
We live in it.
28
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:33,720
It's our world.
29
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,480
Headline edition July 8, 1947.
30
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,080
It's getting to be a long lost story.
31
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:42,800
It's not going to be too long before
32
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:47,720
there's not going to be anybody
left that was alive in 1947.
33
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,000
The Army Air Forces has announced that a
34
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,720
flying disc has been found and is
now in the possession of the Army.
35
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,134
I just think that you're
nuts if you talk about it, so.
36
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,680
And I don't just generally talk about it,
37
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,760
you know, to anybody
unless somebody calls and
38
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,734
asks me to tell them what happened.
39
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,680
It's not a source of
conversation over coffee.
40
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:14,840
If I didn't think the
government was withholding
41
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:19,640
information on the overall
situation, I wouldn't be
42
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,974
sitting here being
interviewed for one thing.
43
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,040
And it doesn't get any
easier because every time
44
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:36,040
that I tell somebody about it, I
feel like I'm 12 years old again.
45
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:42,120
They might regularly
land outside on oceans or
46
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:47,280
in uninhabited parts of
countries, but they might
47
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,160
also not be ready to tell us.
48
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,520
- Okay.
- Well, well, I finally got back home.
49
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:15,960
Well, you took too long.
50
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,000
Well, I'm tired.
51
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,680
I'm happy to be back home, I guarantee you.
52
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,240
It's part of our deal.
53
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,920
Spent all day looking for a
ranch where we found this stuff.
54
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,240
We finally located it because it's too late
55
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,720
to take pictures, so we had to drive
all the way back into the hospital.
56
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,560
I tell you, I enjoyed going out
there, but it's too hard on them.
57
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,560
So I'm getting too old
for that kind of stuff.
58
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:44,840
Well, you can say that.
59
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,560
Yeah, but I got to the point
where I couldn't even walk.
60
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:50,360
I mean, it's tiring.
61
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,920
We had trouble finding
a place to begin with.
62
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,640
We searched the whole day for the place.
63
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,920
But when I saw the place, I recognized it.
64
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:58,800
Oh, yeah, that's good.
65
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:04,080
So the house where Mr. Brazzere used to
66
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,400
live, they renovated the whole thing.
67
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:08,800
It's a boat.
68
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,320
He took over the grass.
69
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:14,240
And he was very helpful.
70
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:15,960
He took us right to the spot.
71
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,000
And he knew exactly where it was.
72
00:04:18,840 --> 00:04:20,560
So we were lucky to get this stuff.
73
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,560
And I walked over the entire area.
74
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:24,720
What happened?
75
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,520
But I didn't recognize the exact spot.
76
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:28,720
Oh, yeah.
77
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,520
I took him to the exact
spot where it took the stuff.
78
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,680
There wasn't any debris out there?
79
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:34,440
Oh, no.
80
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:35,800
Lord, I tell you, exactly.
81
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,000
I don't know.
82
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:38,440
There's nothing here.
83
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,360
Roswell right now is
composed mostly of retirees.
84
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,040
It's a beautiful, beautiful sight.
85
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,800
There's the illumination on the place.
86
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,680
But I really enjoyed that.
87
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,040
So my trip was worthwhile anyway.
88
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:52,000
Well, I'm glad.
89
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,720
I'm very happy about it.
90
00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:55,640
Well, son. It makes me feel better, too.
91
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,880
I tell you, I'd love to live there again.
92
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,160
Well, I would, too, you know.
93
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,920
And I spent quite a bit of
time at Walter's house, too.
94
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:04,600
I went to his art store.
95
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,960
We had dinner together on
Tuesday night and Wednesday night.
96
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,200
So everything went OK.
97
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:12,280
I had a big time.
98
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:13,240
It sure sounds like it.
99
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:14,520
I'm very, very happy for you.
100
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:15,560
It makes me feel better.
101
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,320
It takes me down out of my loneliness.
102
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:19,560
Lord, I'm telling you.
103
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,000
Well, son, I'm going to let you go now.
104
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,200
- OK, Daniel.
- Look, I'll give you a call next week.
105
00:05:24,280 --> 00:05:25,280
OK, fine.
106
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,040
Keep your chin up and
have as much fun as you can.
107
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:29,440
All I think you do.
108
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:30,400
I'll try to do that.
109
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:31,760
- OK, brother. - All right. Bye-bye.
110
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:32,440
Bye-bye.
111
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:39,840
I think there were 15,000 people
living in Roswell, and 7,000 of them were
112
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:40,840
out at the base.
113
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,200
It was a huge benefit to the community.
114
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,560
Now, Roswell was probably one of the most
115
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,040
patriotic towns in the whole United States.
116
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,720
They saved every tin can around.
117
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,560
They scraped the tin
foil off of gum wrappers.
118
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,000
They saved the string.
119
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,760
We turned everything in for the war effort.
120
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,720
And even two years
afterwards, we were still doing it.
121
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,960
The sequence of events, as I've been able
122
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,600
to establish them in my mind, is you've
123
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:29,200
got radar sightings taking place
early in July, 1st, 2nd, 3rd of July.
124
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,920
You've got people watching
this thing with great interest.
125
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:37,080
I mean, here we are over the site where
the atomic bomb was detonated in 1945.
126
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,160
Atomic research still continues.
127
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,800
The 509th bomb group and rockets
being launched from Alamogordo.
128
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,760
So it's an area of high interest,
especially to a space traveling race.
129
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,680
Friday, July 4th, the object
disappears from the scopes.
130
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,880
There's reason to suspect it's down.
131
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,760
The next morning, we've got
an archaeology team out there.
132
00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:01,560
We also have a man and a woman.
133
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,280
This story now begins like every
science fiction movie you've ever seen.
134
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:06,960
I've got a couple out in the desert.
135
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,440
She's married. He's not.
They're not supposed to be there.
136
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,200
The thing roars overhead
and slams into the ground.
137
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,200
They look at it the night before, but
138
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,840
they're so drunk, they
don't do anything about it.
139
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,820
The next morning, they sneak
back to see what's going on.
140
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,240
About the time, the
archaeology team shows up.
141
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,560
The archaeologists send
someone back to call the sheriff.
142
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,520
Sheriff alerts the 509th bomb group.
143
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,520
We've got trucks coming in
on the morning of July 5th.
144
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,280
A military cordon going up around
the area here close to Roswell.
145
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:36,840
And this is what's critical.
146
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:42,400
Why do you put up guards on the
roads right off Highway 285 just north of
147
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:48,280
town if all you've got is the debris
field some 75 miles northwest?
148
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:49,400
You don't need to do that.
149
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,280
If the craft impacts
much closer to Roswell,
150
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:53,960
then the guards make perfect sense.
151
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,760
You want to keep people out of the area.
152
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,400
The team picks up the
bodies at that location.
153
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,360
They're brought back to Hangar 84.
154
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,920
The debris is brought back to this area.
155
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,200
It's transported out
on the night of July 5th.
156
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,760
The next day, they're sitting
around congratulating themselves.
157
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:11,720
Aren't we bright?
158
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:12,960
We got this thing contained.
159
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,400
Nobody knows what's happened.
160
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:20,120
Mack Brazel shows up at the sheriff's
office with a box full of the debris.
161
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,680
Clearly, this is something else.
162
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,160
My name is Frankie Rowe, R-O-W-E.
163
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,334
Um, I know you've probably told this story
164
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,680
a million times, but if you could tell
165
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:03,360
it as fresh as possible for our
audience, that would be great.
166
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,760
Just tell me what happened
when your dad came home that day.
167
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,000
The very first time that
I heard about this at all.
168
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:13,880
Okay.
169
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,534
Daddy came home from work.
170
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:24,760
They worked shifts of a type that they
would be on duty maybe 24 hours or
171
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,280
36 hours and then off 8 or 12, like that.
172
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,520
So we hadn't seen him for a time.
173
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,400
And he got home that evening
and he came in so excited.
174
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,920
And I was in the kitchen with mother.
175
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:44,120
And he asked mother, he said, I've
got something I want to tell everybody.
176
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:45,200
Get everybody in here.
177
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,560
And she said, we're
cooking supper right now.
178
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,760
And he said, well, how
long is it going to be?
179
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,080
Because I've got to talk to everybody.
180
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,720
And it was just my mother and myself
and the three younger kids at home.
181
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,200
And my other sister was working.
182
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,280
So we hurried and we got it on
the table and called the kids in.
183
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:10,840
And he started telling us that they
had gone on a call of what they thought
184
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,480
was going to be a plane
crash north of Roswell.
185
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,760
And he said they got called
out to Blackwater Draw.
186
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:25,320
And when they got out there, what
they saw was not a plane that was our
187
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:30,840
plane, but he said it was a
flying craft from somewhere else.
188
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,040
Well, we didn't ask questions,
but mother asked all the questions.
189
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:39,040
And we were just listening.
190
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,440
And she started, what do
you mean somewhere else?
191
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:42,840
And he said, it's not an airplane.
192
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,560
He said, it's not from this world.
193
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,920
Now, here on this map
are pinpointed locations
194
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,640
where some 30 saucers have been
sighted and are still unexplained.
195
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:58,200
In a following composition,
Earth may have been,
196
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:03,240
and may now be, present in the Earth's
atmosphere, strange aerial objects.
197
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,520
Some are of a geometric order.
198
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,480
Others can only be described
as brilliant light sources.
199
00:11:09,560 --> 00:11:11,560
Their form cannot be determined.
200
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,120
He said the crash was like the flying
201
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,600
saucers that they have
talked about, because there'd
202
00:11:18,680 --> 00:11:22,720
been a few comments on
the news about flying saucers.
203
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,200
And he said it was one of
the flying saucers crashed.
204
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,960
And I don't think really
mother believed him at first.
205
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,680
And he said, no, he said, I mean it.
206
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:41,120
We went out there early today, which I
don't know what time that was, but early
207
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,120
to him could have meant
they left before dark.
208
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:49,920
And he said when they got there, they
could see that there were two bodies
209
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,360
that were laying on the
ground outside of this
210
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,320
craft, and that there was one,
what he called, little person.
211
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,400
And he said there's one little
person that was walking around.
212
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:01,960
And he said they were still alive.
213
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:11,400
So she asked him, you
know, what do they look like?
214
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:12,720
Do they look like us?
215
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:19,160
And he said they were very small, about
the size of a small 10-year-old child.
216
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:25,440
But the head looked like the little
insect that we played with or that we saw
217
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,880
around our house called Child of the Earth.
218
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,280
We all knew what that looked like, so
nobody asked any questions on that.
219
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:40,440
We assumed that meant that the head
was too large for the body, and it had
220
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,360
no hair, and it would have large eyes.
221
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:47,360
We knew that because that's what
the Child of the Earth insect looks like.
222
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,920
He said they looked quite a bit like us.
223
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,080
He said they were a
lot smaller than we are.
224
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,560
Because when he said a small 10-year-old
225
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,680
child, I knew he meant smaller than I was.
226
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,000
And I wasn't very big at 12 years old.
227
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,240
I was a little small for my age.
228
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:20,360
And he said that the other two were
dead and that this one that was alive
229
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:21,480
was very sad.
230
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,960
But he emphasized and he kept
saying there's no need for us to be afraid.
231
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:28,560
They're not here to hurt us.
232
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,000
And he said we couldn't help them.
233
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:38,080
And he was more upset over the fact
that they couldn't help this little person.
234
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,560
And that's something
he really felt badly, that
235
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,240
he couldn't help this one that was alive.
236
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:55,360
He said you could feel the hurt from
this little person that was so saddened by
237
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,960
the death of the others with him.
238
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:03,360
And apparently they hadn't
been there but just a few minutes.
239
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,840
And he said the military came
up and they made them leave.
240
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,280
And so they went back to the fire station.
241
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,400
And he said there had not been a
242
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,160
grass fire, which would have
been their purpose for going.
243
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:25,480
And they thought there could have
been if it had been a normal plane crash.
244
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,040
I don't think Mother really
wanted to believe it at first.
245
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:36,680
And he talked about how could we
be so smug to think that we were the
246
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,400
only ones that God could create.
247
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,520
If he could create this earth, he
could create a lot of others too.
248
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,760
So that was just a conversation
over dinner that night.
249
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:56,320
And then there wasn't too much
said about it for the next couple of days.
250
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,840
Then I was at the fire station one
afternoon because I'd gotten sick.
251
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,400
I had to see the doctor
and we only had one vehicle.
252
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:07,880
So I went back to work with Daddy.
253
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,240
He came home at noon and
picked me up on his lunch.
254
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:16,800
And I had gone to the doctor and
was sitting in the kitchen part of the
255
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:17,480
fire station.
256
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,760
And I was eating a glass of ice chips.
257
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,760
And a state policeman came
in and he yelled at Daddy.
258
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,920
He said, Hey, Dan, come
over here and get all the guys.
259
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,360
I want to show you guys something.
260
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,400
The state policeman
reached into his pocket.
261
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,640
And he said, I don't think you guys got
to see anything like this the other day.
262
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:44,520
And he pulled his hand out of
his pocket and it was closed up.
263
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:52,720
He opened his hand over the table and
dropped a piece of material that when it
264
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,040
hit the table, it was all
watered up when it left his hand.
265
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,440
And when it hit the table, it
spread out like it was water.
266
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:06,000
And they were asking him, you
know, how'd you get by with this?
267
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:10,920
And he said, well, he had helped
with some of the pickup of debris.
268
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,440
And he had managed to sneak
that one piece in his pocket.
269
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,720
He said, I don't know how long I'll
get to keep this before I get caught.
270
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,120
He said, everybody they catch,
they're taking away whatever they've got.
271
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,040
Last count, I had spoken to around four
272
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:41,120
dozen people who who handled
various aspects of the debris.
273
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,600
The most dramatic is the foil-like material
274
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,800
that you could wad up in the ball
and let go and it would unfold itself.
275
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,040
A lot of people reported that.
276
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:52,440
What kind of material did we have in
277
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:57,160
1947 that would, that had those properties?
278
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:01,200
There were things like
foil backed with cloth
279
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:02,440
that when you wad it up, it would
280
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,800
tend to unfold itself somewhat, but
there were always the signs of creases.
281
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,438
And some of the people were very specific.
282
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,880
There was no sign of a crease or a
fold in this thing when it was let down.
283
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,240
After a while, they tried to burn it.
284
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:18,080
They'd almost all of
them carried the large,
285
00:17:18,360 --> 00:17:20,000
the old-fashioned lighters.
286
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,200
They tried to burn it
and they couldn't burn it.
287
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,680
It wouldn't catch on fire and they took
288
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,760
out their pocket knives and they
tried to cut it and they couldn't cut it.
289
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:38,974
So they got into a discussion as to
how, how bad a force it must have been
290
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,800
to tear this piece of material.
291
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,840
And they talked about, whether it came from
292
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,960
the inside of the ship or
the outside or wadding.
293
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,120
Of course, nobody knew where it came from.
294
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,880
And while they were talking, I guess they
295
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:59,200
all had their chance to play with it
for a while and was laying on the table.
296
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:00,480
So I reached over and picked it up
297
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,120
and I played for probably
about five minutes.
298
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,040
And I tried everything they
had done with the wadding it up.
299
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,280
When you would wad it up in your
hand, you couldn't feel it in your hand.
300
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,680
You couldn't feel you had anything there.
301
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:21,400
And it would go to a size that
was so small that you'd have to look
302
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,160
to see if it was still in your hand.
303
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,760
And then when you drop it, it
spread out all over the table.
304
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,760
It made no noise, no sound of any kind.
305
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,240
It was just like, it was nothing.
306
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,040
It was like you were mashing air together.
307
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,280
So it wasn't aluminum foil?
308
00:18:38,360 --> 00:18:39,840
Oh, absolutely not.
309
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,960
No, we had scraped aluminum foil
off of everything for the war effort.
310
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,520
No, I knew aluminum foil.
311
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:47,480
No, this definitely wasn't.
312
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,720
I didn't realize the
significance of it at the time.
313
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,720
I just knew it was different than
anything I'd ever seen before.
314
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:04,200
So I forgot all about it after that.
315
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,320
Headline edition July 8, 1947.
316
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:17,680
The Army Air Forces has announced that a
317
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,440
flying disc has been found and is
now in the possession of the Army.
318
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,520
Something came down
during the first week of
319
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:28,040
July, 1947, on what's
known as the Foster Ranch.
320
00:19:28,360 --> 00:19:30,800
A man named Matt Brazel was the foreman
321
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,360
of that ranch, and he was
out checking his sheep.
322
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,160
He found all this strange debris.
323
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,360
He brought it by his
neighbors the next day.
324
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,840
They suggested he
go into the sheriff with it.
325
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,760
He went into Roswell,
which was a big journey.
326
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,120
This was about 70 miles
north-northwest of Roswell.
327
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:54,200
The sheriff, George Wilcox, called
the local air base Roswell Army Airfield.
328
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,800
Two officers were dispatched,
Jesse Marcel Sr. and
329
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,200
Sheraton Cabot, the CIC officer.
330
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,200
Mack Brazel shows them the debris field.
331
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:05,760
Clearly, it's just metallic debris.
332
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,600
The question I posed to a number of
people, why didn't they react differently?
333
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,598
And the answer has always been,
because they knew there was only one.
334
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,360
They knew there was a single craft.
335
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:13,840
They knew there was a single crash.
336
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,520
They had it all contained.
337
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,320
They took a calculated risk.
338
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,360
Mack Brazel found some of the same stuff,
339
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,080
but they knew it wasn't a craft itself.
340
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:22,320
They knew it was just debris.
341
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,240
Pieces of debris into the jeep.
342
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,414
By the time he got back to the vicinity
343
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,880
of the air base, it was close to midnight.
344
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:35,840
He stopped by his house to show
his wife and 11-year-old son, Jesse Jr.,
345
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,240
this unusual debris.
346
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,800
Well, Jesse Jr. now is an M.D.
347
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:48,640
He's a colonel in the
Montana Air National Guard.
348
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,800
He's a helicopter pilot, one of the
standing fleet choppers in Vietnam.
349
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,760
Very stable individual.
350
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:05,960
The type of person that is seeking no
notoriety, has no axe to grind on this.
351
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:12,920
I think to a great extent, he participates
in these things to see if he can
352
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,080
help get the truth out.
353
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,520
I think this is what a
bulk of us are doing.
354
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,600
We're not, we have
nothing to gain by doing this.
355
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,120
My father was on the intelligence team at
356
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:34,040
the Roswell Army Airfield, and it was
his job to look at what they thought was
357
00:21:34,120 --> 00:21:38,040
a crashed aircraft or crashed
something out there out of Roswell.
358
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,640
When he came in, he was very excited.
359
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,240
He woke my mother and myself up.
360
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,680
It must have been one or
two o 'clock in the morning.
361
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:49,000
And he wanted us to see what
he was bringing in from the field.
362
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,800
He said, this is parts of a flying saucer.
363
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,440
And it was all brought in and
spread out on the kitchen floor.
364
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,640
And we just looked at it.
365
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,600
You know, I picked up this particular
I -beam and held it up to my upper
366
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,200
left to look at it with the kitchen
light reflecting on the inner surface.
367
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,840
And that's when I saw the
writing or the symbols of some sort.
368
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:15,880
I thought at first, this is hieroglyphics
or some kind of writing like that.
369
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,840
It certainly looked alien to me.
370
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,320
Okay, well, yeah, just tell me what to do.
371
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,840
Because I don't know how much of
me you've got in the picture or anything.
372
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:34,880
This was developed with the help
of Jesse Marcel, Jr. and Kent Jeffrey.
373
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:40,440
This is a replica of what was picked
up off of the desert by Major Jesse
374
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,960
Marcel back in 1947.
375
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,560
The one I saw was probably greatest three
376
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,400
-eighths of an inch in cross-sectional
diameter, 12 to 18 inches long.
377
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,400
Actually, the material that
I saw almost resembled
378
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,920
something that could have blown out
to the side of the craft, like there was an
379
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,694
in-flight explosion just spreading
debris or blowing debris out of the side.
380
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,400
There is a debris field.
381
00:23:09,120 --> 00:23:10,800
It's three-quarters of a mile long, 300
382
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,400
feet wide, according to Jesse
Marcel, loaded with this metallic debris.
383
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,240
Mack Brazel describes
it, the debris being thick
384
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:18,358
enough the sheep won't cross it.
385
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:19,398
He's got to drive it around him.
386
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:20,720
There's clearly a lot of debris.
387
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,720
Bill Brazel talks about
a gouge down through
388
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,040
the center, 500 feet
long, 10 feet at its widest.
389
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,200
We don't pretend to
understand the mechanism of
390
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,760
the shedding of this
massive amount of debris
391
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,760
in one area and the craft
impacting much closer to Roswell.
392
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,280
It's a much smaller craft, 15 to 20
393
00:23:37,360 --> 00:23:42,640
feet wide, maybe 25 feet
long, more or less intact.
394
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,280
There seems to be
some sort of damage to it.
395
00:23:44,360 --> 00:23:46,160
There was some debris
scattered on the impact
396
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,400
site itself, but I don't
begin to understand
397
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,120
the mechanism for the shedding of that much
398
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:54,080
debris in one area and the craft being
more or less intact in the other area,
399
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,320
unless there's some kind of an outer
shell that it shed, or this was some kind
400
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,000
of an escape capsule, and the entire craft
401
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,600
disintegrated, and this is
how they attempted to get out.
402
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,760
We just do not understand that,
and we have to speculate about it.
403
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,520
Something crashed into
the desert outside Roswell in
404
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,160
1947, and the ham-fisted fashion in which
405
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,120
the U.S. Air Force handled the incident
406
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,734
convinced a great many people that it was
407
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,280
a flying saucer, and that at least one
408
00:24:26,360 --> 00:24:29,440
alien creature was
recovered from the crash site.
409
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,320
It is precisely the mixture
of religion, science,
410
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,520
superstition, and folklore,
intelligence, and ignorance that has
411
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,174
produced among Americans
an entire subculture of belief
412
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,160
in extraterrestrial life.
413
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,614
It has gotten old, like anything else.
414
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:55,240
It has become a job, a task,
no longer an exciting experience.
415
00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:01,840
My name is Walter G.
416
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,720
The G stands for George Haut.
417
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:06,720
H-A-U-T.
418
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,134
You ought to remember Haut.
419
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:17,294
I'm not the only one.
420
00:25:17,360 --> 00:25:19,520
There are other people
that have been involved
421
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:24,760
in this that are in the same position.
422
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,920
We're not paid a penny for anything.
423
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:34,640
The only reason we're doing this
is to try and get as much of the truth
424
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,880
out as we can while
some of us are still alive.
425
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:45,440
You got to look at the age group
that was out at the base at that time.
426
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,440
So many of the people that have been
427
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,720
doing the legwork, so to
speak, were in their 20s.
428
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:53,054
I was one of them.
429
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,600
At the base, I was a crew member,
430
00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:01,160
navigator bombardier.
431
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,800
That was my primary duty assignment.
432
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,800
My secondary was as
public relations officer for
433
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,880
Roswell Army Airfield
and the 509th Bomb Group.
434
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,120
The 509th Bomb Group,
incidentally, was a very elite group.
435
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:22,080
It was the only atomic bomb
group in the world at the time.
436
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:28,480
The 509th Bomb Group was
originally organized during World War II.
437
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,880
Their mission was to drop
the atomic bombs on Japan.
438
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,254
We also dropped the bomb on Bikini.
439
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,400
The organization was pretty
much of a tight -lipped organization.
440
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:51,480
By the time you get to Roswell in
441
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:55,280
1947, it's the only atomic
strike force in the world.
442
00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:02,920
They're training people to begin other
atomic bombing groups in the Air Force.
443
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,160
If you became the commander of the 509th
444
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:10,000
Bomb Group, you inevitably were promoted
out of the job and became a general.
445
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:17,320
It was the premier group
in the Air Force in 1947.
446
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,840
Today's edition presents
a roundup of the latest
447
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,200
developments in the
finding of a flying disc.
448
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,800
I was called to headquarters.
449
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,800
Was given copies of a press release
450
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:35,200
which stated, in essence, that we
had in our possession a flying disc.
451
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,200
The army may be getting to the
bottom of all this talk about the so-called
452
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,640
flying trumpet, as a matter of fact, the
453
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,920
509th Atomic Bomb Group
headquarters at Roswell, New
454
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,680
Mexico, reports that it has received one of
455
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,200
the discs which landed
on a ranch outside Roswell.
456
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:57,680
From what we know, it was shown
to William Blanchard in the morning.
457
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:02,800
About 12 o'clock at noon, a press
release was issued by Blanchard.
458
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:08,080
My father is a 30-year retired Air
Force colonel, a World War II fighter ace,
459
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:13,560
and he knew and worked with
William Blanchard in the early 1960s.
460
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:18,280
And according to my
father, Blanchard was no fool.
461
00:28:18,360 --> 00:28:23,560
Blanchard was not the kind of man to
put out a press release about something so
462
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:29,160
dramatic as a crashed UFO without
being absolutely certain he was correct.
463
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,280
In other words, if Blanchard said there was
464
00:28:32,360 --> 00:28:35,520
a crashed disc, there was a crashed disc.
465
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,160
Colonel William Blanchard
of the Roswell Air Base
466
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,640
refuses to give details of
what the flying disc looked like.
467
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:47,520
The media here was localized media.
468
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,560
You had a radio station of 250 watts.
469
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,080
If you're outside of town,
you basically didn't get it.
470
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,240
You had a second radio
station of equal size.
471
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:55,640
You had two newspapers.
472
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,080
You could control the media very carefully.
473
00:28:59,960 --> 00:29:02,720
It strikes me as odd in today's environment
474
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:08,120
to hear a radio station owner tell
me that the FCC would call and say, if
475
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:09,558
you broadcast the story, you will lose your
476
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,880
license, and they don't tell the FCC to
477
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,840
go play with themselves and
broadcast the story anyway.
478
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,120
They suppressed the story, and
they were able to suppress the story.
479
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,118
They were able to do what
they needed to do to suppress it.
480
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,320
This was a military town in 1947.
481
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,200
Then we have the military moving
in, cleaning all of that material up.
482
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:34,000
Walter Haught issues his press
release saying we've got a flying saucer.
483
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,560
I was told to hand deliver to the foreign
484
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,960
news media we had in town at that time.
485
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,680
We had two radio stations
and two newspapers.
486
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,520
After I had lunch, I went
back out to the base.
487
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:53,440
First phone call that I got when I
got back to the office, a fellow from
488
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:54,520
London, England.
489
00:29:55,280 --> 00:30:02,440
His interest was why did we put out
the press release in the manner we did,
490
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:07,840
and how did Major Marcel
know how to fly this object?
491
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:12,080
I had to explain to him that the
press release was put out on the orders
492
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,000
of the base commander,
number one, and number
493
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:19,240
two, Major Marcel did not fly this object.
494
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,560
He took this material and put it on
495
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,600
an aeroplane, and the
aeroplane was flown forward.
496
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,040
The phone rang and rang and rang and
497
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:37,640
rang until I would guess somewhere around 4
498
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,600
.30 as I got home,
somewhere around 5 oโclock.
499
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:43,920
That was the end of it.
500
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,160
The next morning when I went out and
501
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:52,494
picked up the newspaper,
said that headline that
502
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,640
General Ramey emptied our saucer.
503
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:58,920
The story was done.
504
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,497
Ramey says that so far
as can be determined,
505
00:31:12,563 --> 00:31:14,614
no one saw the object in the air,
506
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:18,160
and he describes it as being
made of some sort of tin foil.
507
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:24,720
That was aluminium
foil or a foil of some kind.
508
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,400
It is not the material just so that
509
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,840
the material that he
brought into Ramey's office
510
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,920
is not what he was photographed with.
511
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,200
That was more of the cover-up.
512
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:42,360
I believe he said I didn't want
to be a liar about this, but I was
513
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,120
told this is what you're going to do.
514
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,680
When the general tells you, you did it.
515
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:48,360
Simple.
516
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:53,000
Jesse Marcel in fact told a number of
people that it was a weather balloon.
517
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:58,040
When he was shown the picture in
the book, he said that's not the stuff I
518
00:31:58,120 --> 00:31:58,800
brought home.
519
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:00,920
You know, when he came back from Carswell,
520
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,760
after flying the debris, he did tell me
521
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,520
not to talk about this, tell my
mother not to talk about this.
522
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:07,600
This is a non-event.
523
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:08,840
Play like it never happened.
524
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,600
Don't even talk about this
with your friends, which I didn't.
525
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,734
And, uh, years later, he
confided that he was actually
526
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:20,814
part of the cover-up because he went
along with the Air Force explanation,
527
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,560
even though he knew full
well that that was not true.
528
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,760
What do you think about
the weather balloon story?
529
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,320
I think it's been a lie from the beginning,
530
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,280
but they have to cover up some way.
531
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:39,480
There was no weather balloon.
532
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,280
My dad would not have gotten
excited over a weather balloon.
533
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,800
He was not easily excitable, and this is
534
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,080
the most thrilled I'd
ever seen him in my life.
535
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,120
He thought that was the most
fantastic thing in the world.
536
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,760
When the government said it was not a
537
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,640
flying saucer, there were
no space people here,
538
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,960
it was a weather balloon, the people in
539
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,560
Roswell said, okay, it's a weather balloon.
540
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:13,200
Roswell seems to be the first event like
541
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,240
this because they were simply not prepared.
542
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,960
So we've got a lot
of interest in this area.
543
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:22,520
The lid is slowly being shut down, and
it's absolutely brilliant what they did.
544
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:27,960
They announced they have a flying
saucer, but they've already captured it.
545
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:29,040
They've already got it.
546
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,080
There's nothing to see, so nobody
goes out looking for the thing.
547
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,080
Then they shift everything to Fort Worth.
548
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,400
The higher headquarters says,
no, no, those guys made a mistake.
549
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:37,680
It was just a weather balloon.
550
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,360
The press can't find
Jesse Marcel because he's
551
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,400
in Fort Worth and he's been silenced.
552
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,200
They can't find Mack
Brazzo because he's held
553
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:45,920
at the guest house here at the base.
554
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,560
All the people they can find General Ramey.
555
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,200
General Ramey is saying
it's a weather balloon.
556
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,920
Colonel Blanchard suddenly
goes on leave on Tuesday.
557
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,120
So you can't get a hold of anybody.
558
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,000
Blanchard's gone, Marcel's
gone, the rancher's gone.
559
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,640
All you can get are official spokesmen
saying, yeah, it's a weather balloon.
560
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,040
Press has got nowhere to go.
561
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:04,880
The story dies at that point.
562
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:06,760
Nothing to go on.
563
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,320
And everybody forgets
about it until Jesse Marcel
564
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,560
says, I picked up
pieces of a flying saucer.
565
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,734
So other than those people that had any
566
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:24,374
immediate access to the material and
handled it or saw it, the story was over.
567
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:25,440
We'd made a mistake.
568
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:31,840
Fear will do a lot of things.
569
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:35,680
And that was fear.
570
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:47,040
In 1947, it was much easier to intimidate
a child than it is in today's world.
571
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:49,880
We were not exposed to things like TV,
572
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,560
and we didn't have a TV in 1947.
573
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:59,280
And it was just, we
were a very patriotic town.
574
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,840
If we were told you don't do something
575
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:06,040
for government safety, the safety
of your country, we didn't do it.
576
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:16,800
I'm not sure what the time span was,
577
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,280
maybe three days, maybe four, could
have been less, could have been more.
578
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:26,720
I was at home, and the car came
driving up the driveway, and we had a
579
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:27,800
pretty long driveway.
580
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,000
It was a military car.
581
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,240
And mother and I walked to the door.
582
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,200
They knocked on the door, and I answered
583
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,560
the door, and mother was beside me, and he
584
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,400
told mother who he was,
585
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:54,920
and that he wanted to talk to the girl
that had been there at the fire station.
586
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,000
And so she told him it was me.
587
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:06,080
So he came in, and we started to
sit down in the living room, and he
588
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:10,240
said, no, I want you to go
in there in the dining room.
589
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,080
You could see the dining
room from the living room there.
590
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,640
He told mother to sit at the end
of the table, and he told me to
591
00:36:16,720 --> 00:36:17,720
sit at the side.
592
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:23,800
He positioned himself
across the table, and he
593
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,800
told us to sit down, and he stood.
594
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:34,120
And he said, I understand you
were at the fire station the other day.
595
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:35,880
And I told him, yes, I was.
596
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:41,400
And he started out by saying, I want
597
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,280
you to understand that
you were never there.
598
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,800
And I didn't understand
what he meant, because
599
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:53,880
this was kind of not a way of
talking that we were accustomed to.
600
00:36:55,240 --> 00:36:57,640
And I said, yes, I was there.
601
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,640
And he said, no, you weren't.
602
00:37:01,720 --> 00:37:03,400
And I said, yeah, I was there.
603
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:09,680
And he had mentioned at first that he
wanted to see the one who had seen
604
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:14,240
the piece of material that they had
been handling down at the station.
605
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,240
And I said, yes, I did handle it.
606
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,280
And he started emphasizing, no, you didn't.
607
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:26,360
Well, my mother was
pretty strict, and we didn't lie.
608
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,120
So I'm insistent that, yes, I saw it.
609
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:30,200
Yes, I held it.
610
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:35,440
And he got mad, and he was,
the more I insisted I had seen it.
611
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,640
He didn't just come out and say, this
612
00:37:39,720 --> 00:37:41,800
is not something you're going
to be allowed to talk about.
613
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:45,240
He was trying to get it through
my head that I never saw it.
614
00:37:46,720 --> 00:37:48,168
And he got louder,
615
00:37:49,234 --> 00:37:55,094
and he had one of those,
looks like a small baseball bat
616
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:56,934
that hooks on the side of your belt.
617
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:01,534
And he took that out, and he's
holding it, and he starts beating his hand.
618
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,640
Every time he said something,
he would hit that on his hand.
619
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,640
And he would say, I want you to understand,
620
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:09,960
you were never there.
621
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:12,680
You did not see anything.
622
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,080
You did not hear a conversation.
623
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,400
And he said, if you can't understand this,
624
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,000
there are things that we can do.
625
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,920
He asked Mother, he
said, can she keep a secret?
626
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,160
And Mother said, yes.
627
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,480
She said, just tell her
what you want her to do.
628
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,520
And he said, well, first of all,
you've got to understand that
629
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:42,480
if you ever talk about
this the rest of your life,
630
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:48,120
he said, there are things that
we can do, and we'll do them now.
631
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,040
We can take all of you kids.
632
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,680
We will take you either to
Orchard Park or to Artesia.
633
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,840
Orchard Park was a German
POW camp during World War II.
634
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,280
And Artesia was a Japanese POW camp.
635
00:39:04,240 --> 00:39:07,040
And he said, but we don't have to do that.
636
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:08,640
We don't even have to let you live.
637
00:39:08,720 --> 00:39:10,200
He said, we'd put you in one.
638
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,120
We'd put your parents in the other one.
639
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,120
But we don't have to do that.
640
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:16,920
He said, we could take you out
here in the middle of this desert.
641
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,840
He said, no one will ever
find your bodies, ever.
642
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:21,880
No one will ever know what happened to you.
643
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:29,000
And so he said, the only way I'm
going to let you stay around or live
644
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,960
is if you promise you'll never
talk about this the rest of your life.
645
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,120
So I told him I wouldn't.
646
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,520
But that really was pretty much all that
647
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:41,520
was involved.
648
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:46,160
He was probably there at the
house, maybe 45 minutes to an hour.
649
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,240
Mother sent me into the bedroom,
and I don't know what he had to say to
650
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:51,320
her afterwards.
651
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,160
One of the other military police that was
652
00:39:55,240 --> 00:39:57,240
with him stayed in the backyard with the
653
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:00,320
younger kids so they didn't come
in the house while he was there.
654
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:07,214
And I never discussed
it again until recently.
655
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:11,000
And I'm sorry.
656
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,400
Someday I will get over it.
657
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:18,640
I haven't yet.
658
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,480
Your mother must have had
a hard time explaining to you.
659
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:23,840
Obviously, you were raised to be honest.
660
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,120
She never talked to us about it, never.
661
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:27,640
It was never mentioned again.
662
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,920
From the time you came
walking out of your bedroom?
663
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,014
From the time I went to the bedroom
664
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,080
until the day she died,
we never mentioned it.
665
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:38,800
There was no conversation.
666
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:41,920
What would you have thought?
667
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,360
I never talked to him about it either.
668
00:40:44,720 --> 00:40:47,280
I'm sure they must have
talked to him down at the station.
669
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,320
He must have been a good talker.
670
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:51,840
I imagine he did.
671
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:55,560
Excuse me just a moment.
672
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,240
Thatโs okay, thatโs okay.
673
00:40:57,840 --> 00:40:59,280
Donโt you want a drink or something?
674
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,840
No, I just wish this whole
thing would go away.
675
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,760
It just, it doesn't go away.
676
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:17,280
And it doesn't get any easier because every
677
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:23,960
time that I tell somebody about
it, I feel like I'm 12 years old again.
678
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:27,920
I can see the guy standing there,
679
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,520
his sunglasses on, and
he never took his hat off.
680
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,360
He never took his
sunglasses off, beating his
681
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,920
hand with that stick and dragging this.
682
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,880
And at the time he did it, it was okay.
683
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,680
Because we'd been through
the war, we understood.
684
00:41:46,720 --> 00:41:49,040
And I didn't realize it was intimidation.
685
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,160
I had no idea what it was until
686
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,920
probably the last five years, actually,
687
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:01,400
because I never talked about it again.
688
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:02,960
I never mentioned it to anybody.
689
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,720
When this all came out and my kids
690
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,080
found out about it, they
were really upset with me
691
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:11,880
because I never told them about it.
692
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:15,480
My husband, who was very upset with me
693
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,560
about it too, because I
never told him about it.
694
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,960
And what was it that
made you finally tell him?
695
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:23,360
Kevin Randall.
696
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:30,480
If we had Frankie Rowe's story
stand alone, I would be bothered by it.
697
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,680
A 12-year-old girl who meets with
698
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:38,160
military officers can certainly misconstrue
what they're trying to tell her,
699
00:42:39,240 --> 00:42:43,400
especially the way that
they arrived at her house.
700
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:47,280
We know the event took place
because her sister corroborates it.
701
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:49,920
Her sister corroborates
her father's involvement.
702
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,480
We have affidavits on that.
703
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,560
So, yeah, I believe Frankie Rowe's story.
704
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:57,800
I think that they did visit her and
705
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,720
they did suggest the things
she says they suggest.
706
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:02,480
And I believe that because we know that
707
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:05,400
others were intimidated
in similar fashions.
708
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,320
We have the military people
telling us they were sworn to secrecy.
709
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:10,680
All of this going on around it.
710
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:12,280
So Frankie Rowe is not standalone.
711
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,560
There's corroborative testimony
that suggests somebody was putting
712
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,760
pressure on people to
silence them, and they
713
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:22,280
used what means were necessary
to keep those people silent.
714
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:23,920
With the military people, it was merely the
715
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,400
threat of imprisonment and going
to jail because they understood that.
716
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,200
With some of the civilians, they were told
717
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,360
that if you ever talk
about it, you will be killed.
718
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,440
One of the people, I
forgot, Sheriff Wilcox,
719
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:37,080
his family was told the same thing,
that if he talked about it, not only would
720
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:40,320
he be killed, his wife would be killed,
and his daughters would be killed.
721
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,120
The whole family would be wiped out.
722
00:43:42,240 --> 00:43:45,440
That comes from Sheriff Wilcox's
granddaughter, Barbara Dugger,
723
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,000
who heard the story from her grandmother.
724
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,080
So we have a wide range of testimonies
725
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:53,160
from various individuals
telling us of the pressures
726
00:43:53,240 --> 00:43:55,840
that were placed on
them to keep them silent.
727
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:57,440
And I think they used the technique that
728
00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:59,800
was best for that specific
group of individuals.
729
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:11,200
The material that was found out on the
730
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:15,920
debris field was secondary to the crash of
731
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,480
the actual object on the
night of the 4th of July.
732
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:26,640
I have heard secondhand
that there were alien bodies.
733
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:29,760
My mother had a friend.
734
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,800
I told you, she and I
never talked about it again.
735
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:35,960
She had a lady that would come out
736
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:38,480
and visit with her
occasionally, and this woman's
737
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,320
husband was working out at the base.
738
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:44,640
He was a painter
contracting to the government,
739
00:44:45,240 --> 00:44:46,880
and he was painting in the base hospital
740
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:50,160
the day they brought them in,
and he saw the one walking in.
741
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:54,160
And I heard mother and Yulimay talking
742
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:59,560
about Herbert seeing
the one that walked in,
743
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,400
and that they brought
others in on stretchers.
744
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:11,320
And mother said to Yulimay, did
Herbert tell you what the face looks like?
745
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:14,200
Because Dan said it looked
like the child of the earth.
746
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:16,640
And Yulimay said that's what Herbert said.
747
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:23,600
And of course, they put them in
this side room, but a bunch of guys are
748
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,360
not going to just stand there, you know.
749
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:28,520
They're going to peek if they possibly can.
750
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:30,040
And they looked.
751
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:33,280
And I'm sure that probably
mother and Yulimay
752
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:37,160
and maybe daddy and
Herbert, and maybe there
753
00:45:37,240 --> 00:45:40,320
was more discussion than I
know about, but not in my presence.
754
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,880
It's the only reference I ever
heard her make about that.
755
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:47,640
But I think that was done before they
756
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:49,880
came out to the house.
757
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,934
Because after they came out to the
house, I never heard another comment.
758
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:17,320
The U.S. Air Force is about to
tell us what it says happened.
759
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:18,834
We're going over to the Pentagon now, where
760
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:22,760
Colonel John Haynes of the U.S.
Air Force will tell us what happened.
761
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,840
For some bizarre reason,
the Air Force, which
762
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:30,000
whenever you queried it about UFOs,
said we have no interest in UFOs.
763
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:33,280
If you feel threatened by them,
contact the local law enforcement.
764
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,160
Decided they were going to
reinvestigate the Roswell case.
765
00:46:36,240 --> 00:46:37,840
The conclusion of the first report left no
766
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:39,920
doubt that what was
recovered near Roswell, New
767
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:43,960
Mexico in July 1947 was debris from a
768
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:47,120
formerly top secret Army
Air Forces research project
769
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:48,720
codenamed Mogul.
770
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:53,960
In 1947, they told us it was a balloon
with a ray wind target attached to it.
771
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,080
They then looked at their
documentation and said,
772
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,400
well, we told a little white lie in 1947.
773
00:46:58,720 --> 00:47:01,520
Instead of just being a
normal meteorological balloon,
774
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:03,720
it was part of the array train for
775
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,960
what was then classified, the
classified project, Project Mogul.
776
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:11,080
Mogul was an attempt to
acoustically detect Soviet
777
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:14,480
nuclear blasts and
ballistic missile launches.
778
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,560
The Air Force said that that explains it.
779
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:19,040
It's a highly classified project.
780
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,720
The people at Roswell wouldn't
have recognized the balloon.
781
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:22,920
That's why it was covered up.
782
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,280
We didn't want the people
to get back to Project Mogul.
783
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,720
Where this falls down is they have no
784
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,400
documentation to prove
what was picked up at
785
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,160
Roswell was a Project Mogul balloon.
786
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:34,760
The people at Roswell,
Jesse Marcel, for example,
787
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:38,560
the air intelligence officer was
part of Operations Crossroads.
788
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:40,720
And we're told that the ray wind targets
789
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:45,574
in the meteorological balloons were
used as part of the atomic testing.
790
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:47,680
So he should have been
familiar with the balloons.
791
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,520
So you've got a situation
where they're saying
792
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:52,334
these guys with their
fingers on the triggers,
793
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,000
if you will, can't identify a balloon and
794
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:58,320
are so hysterically possessed
that they claim it's a flying saucer.
795
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:02,734
They didn't review the tapes
of the counterintelligence
796
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:06,040
NCOIC at the base who saw
the debris and commented on it.
797
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,720
They didn't review the tapes of Major Edwin
798
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,720
Easley, who told me that he couldn't talk
799
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:13,640
about it because it was still classified.
800
00:48:13,720 --> 00:48:15,680
Forty seven years later, told me a number
801
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:17,920
of times in our first
conversation, I can't talk about it.
802
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:19,320
I was sworn to secrecy.
803
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:21,760
They didn't even talk to
Brigadier General Arthur
804
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,040
Exxon, who reported that he flew over the
805
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:27,000
two sites, two distinct
sites and reports the gouge.
806
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,240
A balloon will not leave a gouge.
807
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:32,440
So they didn't talk to the people
I would think were key people.
808
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:33,798
Instead, they talked to the people that are
809
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:35,198
going to lead them directly to the Project
810
00:48:35,240 --> 00:48:37,720
Mogul explanation and let it go at that.
811
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:42,520
They say this was a top secret project,
implying there was special equipment.
812
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,040
It's a neoprene balloon and Raywin targets.
813
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:48,240
Raywin targets had been used for 20 years.
814
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:50,520
At first, they were used
because they reflected
815
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:52,920
the sun and they could track
them visually much easier.
816
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,680
Now they they were adapted to radar use.
817
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,040
Irving Newton said they
launched literally hundreds of
818
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,240
them during the invasion of Okinawa.
819
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,280
There's nothing special about
these balloons, nothing at all.
820
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:06,200
And we're but by placing
with Project Mogul,
821
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,880
we're implying that there
was something unusual about
822
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:10,840
these balloons, that there
was something that would
823
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:12,400
keep these people from identifying.
824
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:13,640
But there wasn't.
825
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:17,480
This is in reference to Charles Moore, who
826
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,720
was the project engineer
on Mogul with respect
827
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:25,120
to the neoprene rubber used
on those meteorological balloons.
828
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:27,654
And they were standard
meteorological balloons.
829
00:49:27,720 --> 00:49:30,960
The idea that the Mogul array was something
830
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:34,200
special or out of the
ordinary is an illusion.
831
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:38,774
But Moore explained to me the
type of rubber, how thin it was.
832
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:41,640
He actually compared it to a giant condom.
833
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:46,120
He said it was very thin
and that's what it looked like.
834
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,400
And my response to that was, well, if
835
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:51,414
that's the type of material
that this resembled,
836
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:53,720
it certainly isn't anything
that would have fooled
837
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,640
any members of the
United States Armed Forces.
838
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:00,200
Therefore, this was not a Mogul balloon.
839
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:15,014
I don't know that the Air Force has
ever explained what took them so long
840
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:19,320
to say this is the explanation,
if this is the explanation.
841
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:22,534
When I sent the first request to the
842
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:24,854
Secretary of Defense
for a response about the
843
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:26,694
Roswell incident in view of the fact that
844
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:29,014
there were these accusations,
essentially of a government
845
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:34,600
cover-up, the response I got was a
very terse letter that said in about a
846
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:36,494
sentence or two from the Air Force,
847
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,280
we referred your letter
to the National Archives.
848
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:40,240
That's all it said.
849
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:42,080
The National Archives
then said we don't have
850
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:45,200
any information about the
Roswell incident, which I
851
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:47,080
was convinced the Defense
Department had to know
852
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:48,960
before they were sending me there.
853
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:51,280
So in other words, I thought
I was getting the runaround.
854
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,774
They believe that the
records, in fact, were
855
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,120
destroyed more than four decades ago.
856
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:00,520
So there's not an individual on the
job now we can just call up and say,
857
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:02,360
what happened to these records?
858
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:05,080
And so the GAO has simply no further
859
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:09,200
recommendations or
ideas on how to go farther.
860
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:11,120
The only records we're
talking about being destroyed
861
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:15,760
are communications from
Roswell Army Airfield, 509th, only
862
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:19,080
atomic bombing group in the
world, out, out, moving messages.
863
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:20,560
How about the analysis of the materials?
864
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:22,240
How about the autopsy reports?
865
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:24,960
How about the eyewitness
testimony from those who
866
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:26,920
stood guard, those
who carried it, those who
867
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:28,720
tested at various government labs?
868
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:31,320
There ought to be a ton of other paper.
869
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:33,440
What happened to this?
870
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:35,720
What happened to the one that was alive?
871
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,760
I'm positive that there's
information being withheld from
872
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,440
the public domain
concerning the Roswell event.
873
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:53,840
There are a lot of things
that our government hides.
874
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:57,934
And it isnโt right, they shouldn't.
875
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:02,854
They especially shouldn't do it to a town
876
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:08,120
like Roswell that was so supportive
of every single thing that they did.
877
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:14,000
The story is going to end one of these
days because there's nobody going to be
878
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:17,920
able to refute it or say anything about it.
