4 "...Voltaire..."
"François-Marie
Arouet (21 November 1694 – 30 May 1778), better known by the pen name Voltaire,
was a French Enlightenment writer, essayist, deist and philosopher known for
his wit, philosophical sport, and defense of civil liberties, including freedom
of religion and the right to a fair trial. He was an outspoken supporter of
social reform despite strict censorship laws and harsh penalties for those who
broke them. A satirical polemicist, he frequently made use of his works to
criticize Christian Church dogma and the French institutions of his day. Many
of Voltaire's works and ideas would influence important thinkers of both the
American and French Revolutions."

5 "...personal Hell..."
"The
modern English word Hell is derived from Old English hel, helle (about 725 AD)
and ultimately from Proto-Germanic halja, meaning "one who covers up or
hides something".

6 "...Top Secret"...
"Top
Secret is the highest acknowledged level of classified information in many
countries, where it is defined as material that would cause "exceptionally
grave damage" to national security if disclosed. The term top secret can
be applied to information, actions, organizations, projects, etc. of which any
knowledge is highly restricted."

7 "... self-administered euthanasia...."
"The
term euthanasia comes from the greek words "eu" and
"thanatos" which combined means “well-death” or "dying
well". Hippocrates mentions euthanasia in the Hippocratic Oath, which was
written between 400 and 300 B.C. The ancient Greeks and Romans generally did
not believe that life needed to be preserved at any cost and were, in
consequence, tolerant of suicide in cases where no relief could be offered to
the dying or, in the case of the Stoics and Epicureans, where a person no
longer cared for his life."

8 "...County Meath, Ireland..."
"Meath
(the "middle") was formed from the eastern part of the province of
Midhe - see Kings of Mide - but now forms part of Leinster. Historically this
province of Meath included all of the current county as well as all of
Westmeath and parts of Cavan, Longford, Louth, Offaly, Dublin and Kildare. The
High King of Ireland sat at Tara in Meath. The archaeological complex of Brú na
Bóinne is 5,000 years old and includes the burial sites of Newgrange,
Knowth and
Dowth, in the northeast of the county."

9 "...The Great Mound" at Knowth, and Dowth, the
"Fairy Mound of Darkness".
These are
sacred "cairns" or massive stone structures that were erected about
3,700 BCE and engraved with indecipherable hieroglyphs..."
"The
astronomical significance of Kerbstone 51, the "Stone of the Seven
Suns", at Dowth:
If moonlight
were to shine on the back stone of the eastern passage at Knowth, it would
illuminate a map of the moon itself, the world's oldest known depiction of the
lunar maria*.
The carvings
are about 4800 years old. The next oldest depiction of the maria known to
science is that by Leonardo da Vinci in about 1505 AD.
* Lunar maria
(singular: mare, two syllables) are large, dark, basaltic plains on Earth's
Moon, formed by ancient volcanic eruptions. They were dubbed maria, Latin for
"seas", by early astronomers who mistook them for actual seas. They
are less reflective than the "highlands" as a result of their
iron-rich compositions, and hence appear dark to the naked eye. The maria cover
about 16% of the lunar surface, mostly on the near-side visible from Earth. The
few maria on the far-side are much smaller, residing mostly in very large
craters where only a small amount of flooding occurred. -- Reference: Wikipedia
162
The mythology
about Dowth speaks of a bull and seven cows, it seems likely that the site has
some connection with the constellation of Taurus, the Bull, which contains the
open cluster the Pleiades, otherwise known as "The Seven Sisters".
This constellation was very important around the year 3000BC, when the Boyne
Valley mounds were being constructed, as it contained the Sun on the Spring
Equinox, that very important moment of the year when the Sun's path along the
ecliptic crossed the celestial equator heading northwards. It is the Sun's
position among the zodiac stars at this time which determines the current 'age'
– i.e. the "Age of Taurus".
Another
interesting phenomenon which occurs at this time is what is known to
astronomers as a 'heliacal rising' of the Pleiades. This happens when the stars
in question rise at the eastern horizon but are quickly lost in the glare of
the rising sun. It is interesting to note that the Egyptians, and the Dogon
tribe in Africa, (See: The Oz Factors) among others, used the same Dowth-like
'sun-wheel' symbols to signify a heliacal rising.
If these
'sun-wheel' symbols do represent the heliacal rising of the Pleiades, it tells
us something very significant about the Neolithic people – they were aware of
the great cycle of precession, the slow wobble of the Earth's axis which causes
the celestial pole to shift over time, resulting in the Vernal Equinox point,
that place where the Sun crosses the celestial equator, moving backwards, or
westwards, through the Zodiac over a huge 25,800-year
period. This
Vernal point moves just one degree (about two widths of the full moon) every 72
years, and spends on average 2,150 years in each of the twelve constellations
of the Zodiac."

10 "...In ancient Irish religion and mythology this (Tara)
was the sacred place of dwelling for the "gods"..."
"
Sitting on top of the King's Seat (Forradh) of Temair is the most famous of
Tara's monuments - Ireland's ancient coronation stone - the Lia Fail or
"Stone of Destiny", which was brought here according to mythology by
the godlike people, the Tuatha Dé Danann, as one of their sacred objects. It
was said to roar when touched by the rightful king of Tara.
A new theory
suggests Tara was the ancient capital of the lost kingdom of Atlantis. The
mythical land of Atlantis was Ireland, according to a new book. There are a
large number of monuments and earthen structures on the Hill of Tara. The
earliest settlement at the site was in the Neolithic, and the Mound of the
Hostages was constructed in or around 2500BC."
11 "...the Military - Industrial Complex that
President Eisenhower warned us about in his farewell address..."
"A
military-industrial complex (MIC) is composed of a nation's armed forces, its
suppliers of weapons systems, supplies and services, and its civil government.
163
The term
"MIC" is most often used in reference to the United States, where it
gained popularity after its use in the farewell address of President Dwight D.
Eisenhower. In the penultimate draft of the address, Eisenhower initially used
the term military-industrialcongressional complex, and thus indicated the
essential role that the United States Congress plays in the propagation of the
military industry. But, it is said, that the president chose to strike the word
congressional in order to placate members of the legislative branchof the
federal government.
It is
sometimes used more broadly to include the entire network of contracts and
flows of money and resources among individuals as well as institutions of the
defense contractors,The Pentagon, and the Congress and Executive branch. This
sector is intrinsically prone to Principal-agent problem, moral hazard, and
rent seeking. Cases of political corruption have also surfaced with regularity.
President of
the United States (and former General of the Army) Dwight D. Eisenhower later
used the term in his Farewell Address to the Nation on January 17, 1961:
"A vital
element in keeping the peace is our military establishment. Our arms must be
mighty, ready for instant action, so that no potential aggressor may be tempted
to risk his own destruction...
This
conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is
new in the American experience. The total influence — economic, political, even
spiritual — is felt in every city, every statehouse, every office of the
federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet
we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and
livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.
In the
councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted
influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The
potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
We must never
let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic
processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable
citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military
machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals so that security and
liberty may prosper together."

12 "... Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF)..."
"In May
1946, the Army Air Forces (AAF) gave SAC the responsibility of delivering the
atomic bomb. Only one of the command’s bombardment units, the 509th at Walker
Air Force Base (then Roswell Field) in New Mexico, was trained and ready for
the atomic bomb mission. The 509th Wing, training on the B-29 aircraft, dropped
the first atomic bomb on Japan."
13 "...July 8, 1947, the Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF) issued a
press release stating that personnel from the field's 509th Bomb Group had
recovered a crashed "flying disc" from a ranch near Roswell, New
Mexico..."

LIST OF WITNESSES AND TESTIMONY REGARDING THE "CRASHED FLYING DISC"
INCIDENT THAT MRS. MACELROY DESCRIBES IN HER LETTER:
164
NOTE:
Testimonial, Signed Affidavits, Photos And Other Resource Materials About The
Incident Can Be Viewed At The Following Website:
(Copyright

______________________________________________________________________
"When we
look at the contents of the message in conjunction with witness testimony, the
evidence clearly points to an actual flying saucer crash, as astonishing as
this conclusion may seem to many.
This
testimony is gone into in much greater detail elsewhere in this Website. It
consists primarily of numerous and consistent descriptions of highly anomalous
debris and to a lesser extent of alien bodies. Here are a few key witnesses:
Major Jesse
Marcel: Then the intelligence chief at Roswell and the first to investigate
sheep rancher Mack Brazel's find, Marcel confirmed in a number of interviews 30
years later that the crash debris had highly anomalous properties and was
"not of this Earth." Marcel also spoke of Ramey's weather balloon
cover-up at Fort Worth. Note particularly highly laudatory post-Roswell evaluations
by base commander Col. William Blanchard, Gen. Ramey, and future USAF Chief of
Staff Col. John Ryan.
Lt. Walter
Haut: Former Roswell base public information officer who issued the base press
release. Haut's "deathbed" sealed affidavit has just been published.
In it he confesses to seeing the spacecraft and bodies in base Hangar 84/P-3
and tells us the mysterious press release was General Ramey's idea to divert
press and public attention away from the closer
and more
important craft/body site.
Sgt Frederick
Benthal: Army photographer flown in from Washington D.C., said he photographed
alien bodies in a tent at crash site and saw large quantities of crash debris
being hauled away in trucks.
PFC Elias
Benjamin: Roswell MP, said he escorted the alien bodies from the heavily
guarded base Hangar P-3 to the base hospital, and saw a live one being worked
on by doctors; was threatened afterwards if he didn't keep quiet.
1st Lt.
Chester P. Barton: A crypto specialist and assigned to an MP unit, Barton said he
was ordered to the crash site 45 minutes north of town to check on the cleanup,
saw a football-field-size burn impact area heavily guarded by MPs, scattered
metal debris, was told radiation was at the site, heard archeologists had first
discovered it, and also heard bodies were taken to base hospital and then to
Fort Worth. Because of what he saw, he knew that the balloon explanation was
ridiculous and there had been a cover-up. However, Barton was unusual in being
a flying saucer crash skeptic, instead thinking that it was maybe a B-29 crash
and nuclear accident.
Bill Brazel
Jr.: Rancher Mack Brazel's son, Bill Brazel independently corroborated many
details of Marcel's testimony, including the strange debris, the large,
elongated debris field, and his father's story of an explosion in the middle of
a violent electrical storm.
165
Louis
Rickett: One of the regular Army CIC agents in Marcel's office, Rickett
confirmed the anomalous quality of the debris, a major cleanup operation at
Brazel's ranch, high secrecy, and being involved in a subsequent investigation
to determine the trajectory of the craft. He was also told by others about the
shape of the main craft. Like Chester Barton, he placed the main impact site a
45 minute drive north of Roswell.
Brig. Gen.
Arthur Exon: Though not a direct participant, Exon was stationed at Wright
Field at the time, over flew the area soon afterwards, and was later commanding
officer of Wright-Patterson AFB. Exon when first interviewed flatly stated,
"Roswell was the recovery of a craft from space." Among other things,
he confirmed the existence of two main crash sites. Exon also said he heard
that bodies were recovered and confirmed the debris was highly anomalous based
on testing done by labs at Wright-Patterson. Exon added that he was aware of
other crash-recoveries that occurred while he was C/O at Wright-Patterson.
Steven
Lovekin (served in the White House Army Signal Corp during Eisenhower and
Kennedy administrations, 1959-1961) Although like Exon not a direct participant,
Lovekin said he received 1959 Pentagon briefings and being shown a metallic
beam with symbols from a 1947 N.M. crash (presumably Roswell) plus being told
of either 3 or 5 aliens being recovered, one initially alive. He also said he
was shown very compelling photographic and radar evidence of UFOs. He also
testified of the threats against military personnel given this information if
they were to publicly reveal it. Finally, he told of Eisenhower's concern over
losing control of the situation with power falling into the hands of private
corporations given access to the materials.
Brig. Gen.
Thomas Dubose: Gen. Ramey's Chief of Staff in 1947, Dubose handled the
high-level phone communications between Roswell, Fort Worth, and Washington.
Dubose went on record many times about the high secrecy involved (including the
matter going directly to the White House), receiving direct orders from
Washington to instigate a cover-up, Gen. Ramey's weather balloon cover story,
and a highly secret shipment of debris from Roswell to Fort Worth, Washington,
and Wright Field. Dubose's damning testimony made
him a
complete nonentity in the Air Force's 1995 Roswell report, which didn't even
bother to identify him in the photos taken of Gen. Ramey with his weather
balloon. (Visit the website to view Dubose's Air Force biography, his sworn
affidavit, and a more detailed discussion of his testimony which the Air Force
was so eager to avoid.)
Sgt. Robert
Slusher and PFC Lloyd Thompson: Crew members on a mysterious B-29 flight from
Roswell to Fort Worth on July 9, 1947, transporting a large wooden crate in the
bomb bay surrounded by an armed guard. Upon arrival, the plane was met by high
brassand a mortician. This is probably the flight referred to in the Ramey memo
that would ship whatever was "in the 'disc'" to Fort Worth by a B-29
Special Transport plane. New witnesses to the flight, including daughter of the
head security guard, saying that alien bodies were inside the crate.
Frank
Kaufmann: A highly controversial witness claiming to be one of the exclusive
members of a special CIC-team (Army Counter-Intelligence Corp) in charge of the
Roswell recovery operation. Nonetheless, some of Kaufmann's claims seem to be
corroborated by the Ramey message, including the existence of such a team, the
recovery of an intact "disk" with bodies inside about 35 miles north
of Roswell base, and the special team being responsible for the initial Roswell
base press release. Kaufmann also testified to knowing of a wooden crate
guarded in a hangar with the bodies packed inside awaiting shipment, perhaps
the same crate independently described by Slusher and Thompson.
166
Glenn Dennis:
A Roswell mortician and another highly controversial witness, Dennis spoke of
receiving strange calls from the base about preservation techniques and
child-sized coffins. Dennis also claimed to be at the Roswell base hospital,
seeing unusual debris in the back of an ambulance including a pod-like object
perhaps alluded to in the Ramey message, and being threatened. He also claimed
to know a Roswell nurse who assisted in a preliminary autopsy at the base
hospital and who described the aliens to him.
The nurse
subsequently disappeared. However, attempts to identify the mystery nurse have
proven to be a complete failure after Dennis provided a false name. However,
also see some corroborative evidence immediately following Dennis' affidavit,
such as David Wagnon, a medical technician, who remembered the nurse fitting
Dennis' description, as did Pete Anaya, who said the pretty nurse he knew and
encountered at the base hangar telling him of the bodies there subsequently
disappeared.
Roswell
police chief L. M. Hall stated that Dennis was telling him of calls from the
base about small coffins for the aliens only a few days after the crashed
saucer story broke in the Roswell papers. Similarly, S/Sgt. Milton Sprouse also
said he heard of the coffin call from Dennis and a medic friend told him of the
alien bodies and autopsy at the hospital.
The medic and
doctors and nurses involved in the autopsy all immediately were transferred and
their fate remained unknown. In addition, other independent witnesses have
provided first and second-hand testimony about small bodies being found with
details very similar to those provided by Dennis, including Walter Haut,
Frederick Benthal, Eli Benjamin, and relatives of "Pappy" Henderson.
Family and
friends of Oliver "Pappy" Henderson: Henderson was one of the senior
pilots at Roswell. When the first public stories of a Roswell saucer crash
began circulating in 1981, Henderson confided to family and friends of being
the pilot who flew bodies of the aliens and crash wreckage to Wright Field. He
also claimed to have seen the craft and bodies, and provided a description of
the aliens.
Sgt. Robert
E. Smith: A member of an air transport unit at Roswell, Smith said he
helpedload crates filled with debris for transport by C-54's, including one
flown by Henderson and his crew. Smith was also among the witnesses to describe
the mysterious "memory foil" which he said was in the crates. He
further described strangers to the base dressed in plainclothes and flashing ID
cards for some unknown project, perhaps part of the special CIC-team mentioned
in the Ramey memo and by Frank Kaufmann. Finally he claimed that distant cousin
of his was with the Secret Service and was there at the base representing
President Truman. (The same name was also provided by Kaufmann.) S/Sgt. Earl V.
Fulford: In the engineering squadron, Fulford said he participated in the large
debris field cleanup guarded by MPs, handled the mysterious "memory
foil," saw what may have been the tarped crash object on a flatbed truck
being towed to Hangar 84, and in the middle of the night was made to load a
large wooden crate into an idling C-54.
Earl Zimmerman:
Formerly with AFOSI (AF counterintelligence). While in officers' club heard
many rumors about flying saucer crash and of it being investigated under the
guise of an airplane crash. Several times observed Gen. Ramey and Charles
Lindbergh being at base unannounced in connection with this. Like Robert Smith,
spoke of seeing an unknown CIC man being at base. Col. Blanchard told him it
was OK. Later worked with astronomer Dr. Lincoln LaPaz and corroborated story
of Roswell CIC man Lewis Rickett that LaPaz investigated Roswell afterwards
with the help of the CIC to try to determine objects trajectory. Again an
airplane crash was the cover story.
167
Lt. Robert
Shirkey: Then the assistant operations officer, Shirkey witnessed the loading
of the B-29 that took Major Marcel to Fort Worth to see Gen. Ramey. He said he
saw boxes of debris being carried on board, including an I-beam with raised
markings and a large piece of metal, brushed stainless steel in color,
obviously not part of a tinfoil radar target. He was told it was from a flying
saucer. Along with witness Robert Porter, he also stated that the
plane's pilot
was Deputy Commanding Officer Lt. Col. Payne Jennings, who was now the Acting
C/O with Col. Blanchard officially on leave. Nine days later, Shirkey was
abruptly transferred to the Philippines to a post that didn't exist. Jennings
personally flew him to his next assignment.
Sgt. Robert
Porter: Was on Marcel's flight to Fort Worth and was handed wrapped packages of
debris samples. Said that flight was piloted by Deputy base commander Jennings.
He was told on board that the crash material was from a flying saucer. Later,
they told him it was a weather balloon. Said debris was loaded onto another
plane.
Art McQuiddy:
Former editor of the Roswell Morning Dispatch. Said base commander Col.
Blanchard admitted to authorizing base press release and of strange material
being found by his men.
Judd Roberts:
Co-owner of Roswell radio station KGFL owner. Spoke of how they wire recorded
an interview with rancher Mack Brazel for later airing, then withdrew it about
receiving warnings from Washington about losing their license. Testified to
seeing a military cordon around Brazel crash site.
William
Woody: Another witness to a military cordon thrown up up north of town along
the main highway, blocking access to the west.
Lydia Sleppy:
Albuquerque teletype operator and one of earliest witnesses. Stated that the
story phoned in from field by Roswell radio reporter Johnny McBoyle about
seeing the crashed saucer and hearing of bodies was intercepted and cut-off on
the teletype wire by the FBI.
Loretta
Proctor: Neighbor of rancher Mack Brazel. Brazel told her and her husband of
finding strange material before going to Roswell, and showing them a wood-like
piece that couldn't be cut or burned. They advised him to go to Roswell and
report it. Brazel was detained at the base and complained bitterly of his
treatment when he returned.
Sally
Strickland Tadolini: Another neighbor of Brazel's. Although only 9 years old at
the time, remembered Mack Brazel's grown son Bill Brazel bringing over a piece
of metalliclooking debris with memory properties to show to her family
(incident corroborated by her mother). Described it as tough, resembled a
smooth "fabric" like silk or satin, and, of course, unfolded itself
to its original shape after being crumpled up. Independently corroborated Bill
Brazel's story of finding material and also Marcel's of a metallic fabric
material with memory
properties
which he could blow through (therefore not balloon material). Also remembered
the adults talking about Mack Brazel's bad treatment at hands of military.
Dr. Jesse
Marcel Jr.: 11-year old son of Major Marcel in 1947, recounts how his father
woke up his mother and himself in the middle of the night when he returned from
the debris field, showing them the pieces of a "flying saucer." Among
other material, he distinctly remembers a small metallic "I-beam"
with purplish "hieroglyphics."

14 "... the
Commanding General of the Eighth Air Force..."
"General
Roger M. Ramey was a major player in the Roswell Incident, but information on him
is hard to come by. Even though he became a fairly important Air Force general
in the early 1950s, for some reason the Air Force biographical Web page on
their generals doesn't list him.
Ramey was
born in 1903 in Sulphur Springs, Texas, but grew up in Denton, Texas, about 40 miles
north of Fort Worth. He graduated from North Texas State Teachers College in Denton
and wanted to study medicine. But he won a rodeo competition and
"preferred working on a ranch to books."
He was the
mess sergeant in a local National Guard unit, and the captain insisted young "Cowboy"
Ramey take the competitive examination for entrance to the U.S. Military Academy,
winning the West Point appointment. He entered West Point in 1924.
July 26,1946:
Ramey wrote Roswell intelligence chief Major Jesse Marcel a commendation for
his work during Crossroads, citing his important contributions to security, his
handling of complex intelligence matters, and the perfection of his staff briefings.
A year later, Marcel was to handle the initial investigation into the strange
crash debris found by rancher Mac Brazel near Roswell and fly the debris to Fort
Worth for examination by Gen. Ramey.
June 30, 1947: Ramey and his intelligence chief were giving
press interviews and debunking the new flying saucer phenomenon.
July 6, 1947:
Ramey spent all day attending an air show in his home town of Denton, TX (and
probably visiting relatives). Meanwhile, back in Fort Worth with Ramey away
from the base, his chief of staff, Brig. Gen. Thomas Dubose, said he first
learned of the find at Roswell by phone from SAC acting chief of staff Gen.
McMullen. According to Dubose, McMullen ordered debris samples flown immediately
to Washington by "colonel courier," first stopping in Fort Worth. The
whole operation was carried out under the strictest secrecy, said Dubose.
McMullen ordered him not to tell anyone, not even Ramey.
July 8, 1947: The infamous Roswell base flying disk press
release and Ramey's subsequent debunking of it as a weather balloon. According
to Dubose, McMullen ordered the cover-up in another phone call to Dubose from
Washington. Both Dubose and Roswell intelligence chief Jesse Marcel said the
weather balloon was not what Marcel brought from Roswell, being nothing but a
cover story to get rid of the press.

15 "... U.S. Women's Army Air Force..."
"The
Women's Army Corps (WAC) was the women's branch of the US Army. It was created as
an auxiliary unit, the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps in 1942, and converted to
full status as the WAC in 1943. About 150,000 American women served in the WAAC
and WAC during World War II. They were the first women other than nurses to
serve with the Army."

"The
Flight Nurse Badge is issued in two different versions, one for the Navy and
the other for the Air Force. To be awarded the Flight Nurse Badge, a service
member must be a commissioned officer and a Registered Nurse and must also
complete training normally befitting the award of the Aircrew Badge. The Flight
Nurse Badge is then presented after a probationary period of in-flight
instruction and observation."

17 ..."Sheridan Cavitt
of the Counter Intelligence Officer"...
(Please see the following Footnote)
18 "...
I was asked to accompany Mr. Cavitt, the Counter Intelligence officer, to the crash
site as the driver of his vehicle ... "Most of the testimony in this (the
following) document is from the 1992 book “Crash at Corona” by Stanton Friedman
and Don Berliner, published in the United States by Paragon House. That book
contains lots of other interesting material, including material regarding another
crash site in New Mexico.
Sequence of
Events:
On July 2,
1947, during the evening, a flying saucer crashed on the Foster Ranch near Corona,
New Mexico. The crash occurred during a severe thunderstorm. (The military base
nearest the crash site is in Roswell, New Mexico; hence, Roswell is more
closely associated with this event than Corona, even though Corona is closer to
the crash site.)
On July 3,
1947, William “Mac” Brazel (rhymes with “frazzle”) and his 7-year-old neighbor Dee
Proctor found the remains of the crashed flying saucer. Brazel was foreman of the
Foster Ranch. The pieces were spread out over a large area, perhaps more than
half a mile long. When Brazel drove Dee back home, he showed a piece of the
wreckage to Dee’s parents, Floyd and Loretta Proctor. They all agreed the piece
was unlike anything they had ever seen.
On July 6,
1947, Brazel showed pieces of the wreckage to Chaves County Sheriff George Wilcox.
Wilcox called Roswell Army Air Field (AAF) and talked to Major Jesse Marcel,
the intelligence officer. Marcel drove to the sheriff’s office and inspected
the wreckage. Marcel reported to his commanding officer, Colonel William “Butch”
Blanchard. Blanchard ordered Marcel to get someone from the Counter
Intelligence Corps, and to proceed to the ranch
with Brazel,
and to collect as much of the wreckage as they could load into their two vehicles.
Soon after
this, military police arrived at the sheriff’s office, collected the wreckage
Brazel had left there, and delivered the wreckage to Blanchard’s office. The
wreckage was then flown to Eighth Air Force headquarters in Fort Worth, and
from there to Washington.
Meanwhile,
Marcel and Sheridan Cavitt of the Counter Intelligence Corps drove to the ranch
with Mac Brazel. They arrived late in the evening. They spent the night in sleeping
bags in a small out-building on the ranch, and in the morning proceeded to the
crash site.
170
On July 7, 1947, Marcel and Cavitt collected wreckage from the
crash site. After filling Cavitt’s vehicle with wreckage, Marcel told Cavitt to
go on ahead, that Marcel would collect more wreckage, and they would meet later
back at Roswell AAF. Marcel filled his vehicle with wreckage. On the way back
to the air field, Marcel stopped at home to show his wife and son the strange
material he had found.
On July 7,
1947, around 4:00 pm, Lydia Sleppy at Roswell radio station KSWS began transmitting
a story on the teletype machine regarding a crashed flying saucer out on the
Foster Ranch. Transmission was interrupted, seemingly by the FBI.
On July 8,
1947, in the morning, Marcel and Cavitt arrived back at Roswell AAF with two carloads
of wreckage. Marcel accompanied this wreckage, or most it, on a flight to Fort Worth
AAF.
On July 8,
1947, around noon, Colonel Blanchard at Roswell AAF ordered Second Lieutenant
Walter Haut to issue a press release telling the country that the Army had
found the remains of a crashed a flying saucer. Haut was the public information
officer for the 509th Bomb Group at Roswell AAF. Haut delivered the press release
to Frank Joyce at radio station KGFL. Joyce waited long enough for Haut to
return to the base, then called Haut there to confirm the story. Joyce then
sent the story on the Western Union wire to the
United Press
bureau.
On July 8,
1947, in the afternoon, General Clemence McMullen in Washington spoke by telephone
with Colonel (later Brigadier General) Thomas DuBose in Fort Worth, chief of staff
to Eighth Air Force Commander General Roger Ramey. McMullen ordered DuBose to tell
Ramey to quash the flying saucer story by creating a cover story, and to send
some of the crash material immediately to Washington.
On July 8,
1947, in the afternoon, General Roger Ramey held a press conference at Eighth Air
Force headquarters in Fort Worth in which he announced that what had crashed at
Corona was a weather balloon, not a flying saucer. To make this story
convincing, he showed the press the remains of a damaged weather balloon that
he claimed was the actual wreckage from the crash site. (Apparently, the
obliging press did not ask why the Army hurriedly transported weather balloon
wreckage to Fort Worth, Texas, site of the press conference, from the crash
site in a remote area of New Mexico.)
The only newspapers that carried the initial flying saucer version
of the story were evening papers from the Midwest to the West, including the
Chicago Daily News, the Los Angeles Herald Express, the San Francisco Examiner,
and the Roswell Daily Record. The New York Times, the Washington Post, and the
Chicago Tribune were morning papers and so carried only the cover-up story the
next morning.
At some
point, a large group of soldiers were sent to the debris field on the Foster
Ranch, including a lot of MPs whose job was to limit access to the field. A
wide search was launched well beyond the limits of the debris field. Within a
day or two, a few miles from the debris field, the main body of the flying
saucer was found, and a mile or two from that several bodies of small humanoids
were found.
The military
took Mac Brazel into custody for about a week, during which time he was seen on
the streets of Roswell with a military escort. His behavior aroused the
curiosity of friends when he passed them without any sign of recognition.
Following this period of detention, Brazel repudiated his initial story."

19 "...I discovered
that one of the personnel on board the craft had survived the crash... "
The following is a verbatim copy of the signed Affidavit
submitted on 8-7-1991 by Glenn Dennis, a mortician, in Roswell, N.M. at the
time of the incident described in the letter from Mrs. MacElroy: (PLEASE NOTE:
Mrs. MacElroy is NOT the same nurse that Mr. Dennis mentions in his Affidavit.
Although no official identification has been made, several witnesses have
identified "Nurse X" as 1st Lt. Adeline "Eileen" Fanton.)
"AFFIDAVIT OF GLENN DENNIS
(1) My name is Glenn Dennis
(2) My address is: XXXXXXXXXX
(3) I am ( ) employed as: __________________________________ ( )
retired,
(4) In July
1947, I was a mortician, working for the Ballard Funeral Home in Roswell, which
had a contract to provide mortuary services for the Roswell Army Air Field. One
afternoon, around 1:15 or 1:30, I received a call from the base mortuary
officer who asked what was the smallest size hermetically sealed casket that we
had in stock. He said, "We need to know this in case something comes up in
the future." He asked how long it would take to get one, and I assured him
I could get one for him the following day. He said he would call back if they
needed one.
(5) About 45
minutes to an hour later, he called back and asked me to describe the preparation
for bodies that had been lying out on the desert for a period of time. Before I
could answer, he said he specifically wanted to know what effect the
preparation procedures would have on the body's chemical compounds, blood and
tissues. I explained that our chemicals were mainly strong solutions of
formaldehyde and water, and that the procedure would probably alter the body's
chemical composition. I offered to come out to the base to assist with any
problem he might have, but he reiterated that the information was for future use.
I suggested that if he had such a situation that I would try to freeze the body
in dry ice for storage and transportation.
(6)
Approximately a hour or an hour and 15 minutes later, I got a call to transport
a serviceman who had a laceration on his head and perhaps a fractured nose. I
gave him first aid and drove him out to the base. I got there around 5:00 PM.
(7) Although
I was a civilian, I usually had free access on the base because they knew me. I
drove the ambulance around to the back of the base infirmary and parked it next
to another ambulance. The door was open and inside I saw some wreckage. There
were several pieces which looked like the bottom of a canoe, about three feet
in length. It resembled stainless steel with a purple hue, as if it had been
exposed to high temperature. There was some strange-looking writing on the
material resembling Egyptian hieroglyphics. Also there
were two MPs
present.
(8) I checked
the airman in and went to the staff lounge to have a Coke. I intended to look for
a nurse, a 2nd Lieutenant, who had been commissioned about three months earlier
right out of college. She was 23 years of age at the time (I was 22). I saw her
coming out of one of the examining rooms with a cloth over her mouth. She said,
"My gosh, get out of here or you're going to be in a lot of trouble."
She went into another door where a Captain stood.
172
He asked me who I was and what I was doing here. I told him, and
he instructed me to stay there. I said, "It looks like you've got a crash;
would you like me to get ready?" He told me to stay right there. Then two
MPs came up and began to escort me out of the infirmary.
They said they had orders to follow me out to the funeral home.
(9) We got
about 10 or 15 feet when I heard a voice say, "We're not through with that
SOB. Bring him back." There was another Captain, a redhead with the
meanest-looking eyes I had ever seen, who said, "You did not see anything,
there was no crash here, and if you say anything you could get into a lot of
trouble." I said, "Hey look mister, I'm a civilian and you can't do a
damn thing to me." He said, "Yes we can; somebody will be picking
your bones out of the sand." There was a black Sergeant with a pad in his
hand who said, "He would make good dog food for our dogs." The
Captain said, "Get the SOB out." The MPs followed me back to the
funeral home.
(10) The next
day, I tried to call the nurse to see what was going on. About
11:00 AM, she
called the funeral home and said, "I need to talk to you." We agreed
to meet at the officers club. She was very upset. She said, "Before I talk
to you, you have to give me a sacred oath that you will never mention my name,
because I could get into a lot of trouble." I agreed.
(11) She said
she had gone to get supplies in a room where two doctors were performing a prelimary
autopsy. The doctors said they needed her to take notes during the procedure.
She said she
had never smelled anything so horrible in her life, and the sight was the most gruesome
she had ever seen. She said, "This was something no one has ever
seen." As she spoke, I was concerned that she might go into shock.
(12) She drew
me a diagram of the bodies, including an arm with a hand that had only four fingers;
the doctors noted that on the end of the fingers were little pads resembling
suction cups. She said the head was disproportionately large for the body; the
eyes were deeply set; the skulls were flexible; the nose was concave with only
two orifices; the mouth was a fine slit, and the doctors said there was heavy
cartilage instead of teeth. The ears were only small orifices with flaps. They
had no hair, and the skin was black--perhaps due to exposure in the sun. She
gave me the drawings.
(13) There
were three bodies; two were very mangled and dismembered, as if destroyed by predators;
one was fairly intact. They were three-and-a-half to four feet tall. She told
me the doctors said: "This isn't anything we've ever see before; there's
nothing in the medical textbooks like this." She said she and the doctors
became ill. They had to turn off the air conditioning and were afraid the smell
would go through the hospital. They had to move the operation to an airplane
hangar.
(14) I drove
her back to the officers' barracks. The next day I called the hospital to see
how she was, and they said she wasn't available. I tried to get her for several
days, and finally got one of the nurses who said the Lieutenant had been transferred
out with some other personnel. About 10 days to two weeks later, I got a letter
from her with an APO number.
She indicated
we could discuss the incident by letter in the future. I wrote back to her and about
two weeks later the letter came back marked "Return to
Sender--DECEASED." Later, one of the nurses at the base said the rumor was
that she and five other nurses had been on a training mission and had been
killed in a plane crash.
173
(15) Sheriff
George Wilcox and my father were very close friends. The Sheriff went to my folks'
house the morning after the events at the base and said to my father, "I
don't know what kind of trouble Glenn's in, but you tell your son that he
doesn't know anything and hasn't seen anything at the base." He added,
"They want you and your wife's name, and they want your and your
children's addresses." My father immediately drove to the funeral home and
asked me what kind of trouble I was in. He related the conversation with
Sheriff Wilcox, and so I told him about the events of the previous day. He is
the only person to whom I have told this story until recently.
(16) I had filed away the sketches the nurse gave me that day.
Recently, at the request of a researcher, I tried to locate my personal files
at the funeral home, but they had all been destroyed.
(17) I have not been paid or given anything of value to make
this statement, which is the truth to the best of my recollection.

Date: 8-7-91"

20 "...telepathic thought..."
"Telepathy,
from the Greek τελε, tele meaning "remote" and πάθεια, patheia
meaning "to be affected by", describes the purported transfer of
information on thoughts or feelings between individuals by means other than the
five classical senses. The term was coined in 1882 by the classical scholar
Fredric W. H. Myers, a founder of the Society for Psychical Research, specifically
to replace the earlier expression thought-transference. A person who is able to
make use of
telepathy is said to be able to read the minds of others.
Telepathy,
along with psychokinesis forms the main branches of parapsychological research,
and many studies seeking to detect and understand telepathy have been done
within the field.
Telepathy is
a common theme in fiction and science fiction, with many superheroes and supervillains
having telepathic abilities. Such abilities include both sensing the thoughts
of others, and controlling the minds of other people. Transhumanists believe
that technologically enabled telepathy, called "techlepathy", will be
the inevitable future of humanity, and seek to develop practical, safe devices
for directly connecting human nervous systems."

21 "...I was the
only women at the site..."
"Another
story about the alien bodies and a vanishing nurse came from Pete and Ruben Anaya,
who said they picked up N.M. Lt. Governor Joseph Montoya outside the large base
hangar. Besides the hangar being heavily guarded by MPs, they said there was a
base nurse (or maybe two different nurses) who came outside the hangar and
spoke briefly with them. Ruben said she told him that the bodies were "not
from this world" and then noticed one of them moving. Ruben said he then
went to take a look and also glimpsed two small bodies from a distance under
sheets inside the hangar and one of them moving. He described the nurse he
spoke to as blondish and heavyset. [Note: Of the five nurses that are pictured
in the base yearbook from around June/July 1947, none of them appear blondish
or
heavyset,
though.
174
In contrast,
Pete Anaya said he knew the nurse he spoke to from the Officer's Club (his brother
Ruben worked there as a cook), had danced with her once the previous Halloween at
a party, said she resembled his wife Mary, and was a beautiful women with
beautiful hair.
He wanted to
go inside the hangar to see what was going on, and she told him he didn't want
to see anything. After that, he said he never saw her again. (Source: Tim
Shawcross,
The Roswell
File, 1997)
Former
Roswell police chief L.M. Hall remembered Dennis telling him only a few days
after the newspaper stories of the crashed flying saucer, about strange calls
from the base for child-size caskets "to ship or bury those aliens."
Another
witness that recently came forth to corroborate parts of Dennis' story was
S/Sgt. Milton Sprouse, then a B-29 crew chief with the 830th Bomb Squadron.
Sprouse said he spoke to Dennis several years later while Dennis handled a funeral
for a friend. Dennis told him he had received a call from the base for five
children's caskets for a crash that had happened 2 or 3 days before. Thus it
seems that Dennis' story of the child casket call is not of recent origin but
dates back to the original event itself.
Sprouse said
the bodies were taken to a hangar heavily guarded by MPs with machine guns. He
also said he knew something about the autopsy initially described by Dennis. A fellow
staff sergeant in his barracks, who worked as an emergency room medic at the
base hospital, was called out there. When he came back he related that an
autopsy on one or two of the "humanoid bodies" had been carried out
by two doctors and two nurses. His friend said he had seen the bodies. Similar
to Dennis' nurse, the sergeant was transferred the following day and nobody
ever found out what became of him.
Sprouse also
heard that the doctors and nurses involved with the autopsy were also transferred
and nobody found out what became of them either. Five members of his ground crew
were also sent to the ranch to help clean up the debris field. They told him
the material was "out of this world," including foil that when
crumpled returned to its original shape."

22 "...prehensile..."
"The
word is derived from the Latin term prehendere, meaning "to grasp."
It is the quality of an organ that has adapted for grasping or holding. Examples
of prehensile body parts include the tails of New World monkeys and opossums,
the trunks of elephants, the tongues of giraffes, the lips of horses and the
proboscides of tapir. The hands of primates are all prehensile to varying
degrees, and many species (even a few humans) have prehensile feet as well. The
claws of cats are also prehensile. Many extant lizards have prehensile tails (geckos,
chameleons, and a species of skink). The fossil record shows prehensile tails
in lizards (Simiosauria) going back many million years to the Triassic period.
Prehensility is an evolutionary adaptation that has afforded
species a great natural advantage in manipulating their environment for
feeding, digging, and defense. It enables many animals, such as primates, to
use tools in order to complete tasks that would otherwise be impossible without
highly specialized anatomy. For example, chimpanzees have the ability to use
sticks to fish for termites and grubs. However, not all prehensile organs are
applied to tool use- the giraffe tongue, for instance, is instead used in
feeding and self-cleaning behaviors."

23 "... able to
detect waves or particles beyond the visual spectrum of light."
The visible spectrum (or sometimes called the optical spectrum)
is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to (can be
detected by) the human eye.
Electromagnetic radiation in this range of wavelengths is called
visible light or simply light.
A typical
human eye will respond to wavelengths in air from about 380 to 750 nm. The corresponding
wavelengths in water and other media are reduced by a factor equal to the refractive
index. In terms of frequency, this corresponds to a band in the vicinity of
400-790 terahertz. A light-adapted eye generally has its maximum sensitivity at
around 555 nm (540 THz), in the green region of the optical spectrum. The spectrum
does not, however, contain all the corlors that the human eyes and brain can
distinguish. Brown, pink, and magenta are absent, for example, because they
need a mix of multiple wavelengths, preferably shades of red.
Wavelengths
visible to the eye also pass through the "optical window", the region
of the electromagnetic spectrum which passes largely unattenuated through the
Earth's atmosphere (although blue light is scattered more than red light, which
is the reason the sky is blue). The response of the human eye is defined by
subjective testing, but the atmospheric windows are defined by physical
measurement. The "visible window" is so called because it overlaps
the human visible response spectrum; the near infrared windows lie just out of
human response window, and the Medium Wavelength and Long Wavelength
or Far
Infrared are far beyond the human response region.
The eyes of
many species perceive wavelengths different from the spectrum visible to the human
eye. For example, many insects, such as bees, can see light in the ultraviolet,
which is useful for finding nectar in flowers. For this reason, plant species
whose life cycles are linked to insect pollination may owe their reproductive
success to their appearance in ultraviolet light, rather than how colorful they
appear to our eyes."

24 "... this may have included the full range of the
electromagnetic spectrum..."
"The
electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible electromagnetic
radiation. The"electromagnetic spectrum" (usually just spectrum) of an
object is the characteristicdistribution of electromagnetic radiation from that
object.
The
electromagnetic spectrum extends from below the frequencies used for modern
radio (at the long-wavelength end) through gamma radiation (at the short-wavelength
end), covering wavelengths from thousands of kilometres down to a fraction the
size of an atom. It's thought that the short wavelength limit is the vicinity
of the Planck length, and the long wavelength limit is the size of the universe
itself, although in principle the spectrum is infinite and
continuous."

25 "... her gaze
seemed to penetrate right through me, as though she had "x-ray vision".
"In
fictional stories, X-ray vision has generally been portrayed as the ability to
see through layers of objects at the discretion of the holder of this superpower.
People often pretend to have this ability through the use of X-ray glasses,
which are a special type of "joke-around"or prank-gag toys with the
secret of its "x-ray properties" being unknown. The goal is usually to
see through clothing, usually to determine if someone is carrying a concealed
weapon, but sometimes for purpose of seeing a person's private parts. In the
non-fictional realm, X-rays have many practical uses in the fields of science
and medicine. While there are devices currently extant which can
"see" through clothing (using terahertz waves), most are quite bulky.
However, there are night vision equipped video cameras that can be modified to
see
through
clothing at a frequency just below visible light."

26 ..."Technically, from a medical standpoint, I would say
that Airl's body could not even be called "alive". "
"The
word "organism" may broadly be defined as an assembly of molecules
that function as a more or less stable whole and has the properties of life.
However, many sources, lexical and scientific, add conditions that are
problematic to defining the word.
The Oxford
English Dictionary defines an organism as "[an] individual animal, plant,
or single-celled life form". This definition problematically excludes non-animal
and plant multicellular life forms such as some fungi and protista. Less controversially,
perhaps, it excludes viruses and theoretically-possible man-made non-organic
life forms.
Chambers Online Reference provides a much broader definition:
"any living structure, such as a plant, animal, fungus or bacterium,
capable of growth and reproduction". The definition "any life form
capable of independent reproduction, organic or otherwise" would encompass
all cellular life, as well as the possibility of synthetic life capable of
independent reproduction,
but would exclude viruses, which are dependent on the biochemical
machinery of a host cell for reproduction. Some may use a definition that would
also include viruses."

27 "...in space there is not gravity..."
"The
terms gravitation and gravity are mostly interchangeable in everyday use, but
in scientific usage a distinction may be made. "Gravitation" is a
general term describing the attractive influence that all objects with mass
exert on each other, while "gravity" specifically refers to a force
that is supposed in some theories (such as Newton's) to be the cause of this attraction.
By contrast, in general relativity gravitation is due to space-time curvatures
that cause inertially moving objects to accelerate towards each other.
Isaac
Newton's theory of universal gravitation is a physical law describing the
gravitational
attraction between bodies with mass. It is a part of classical mechanics and
was first formulated in Newton's work Philosophiae Naturalis Principia
Mathematica, published in 1687. In modern language it states the following:
Every point
mass attracts every other point mass by a force pointing along the line intersecting
both points. The force is proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely
proportional to the square of the distance between the point masses:
where:
• F is the
magnitude of the gravitational force between the two point masses,
• G is the
gravitational constant,
• m1 is the
mass of the first point mass,
• m2 is the
mass of the second point mass,
• r is the
distance between the two point masses."
