EX-GI CLAIMS THE ARMY TRACKED UFOs ON RADAR AS EARLY AS 1942 

On Sunday night, March 17, 1996, the Learning Channel aired a special one-hour
broadcast called "Incident at Roswell." Many Roswell eyewitnesses were
interviewed, including Frank Kaufman, who had a most interesting tale the tell. 

During World War II, Kaufman was assigned to the Counter-Intelligence Corps
(CIC). The Army put him through specialized training designed to turn him into a
competent aviation mechanic and then "planted" him at the new Roswell air base
in 1943.

Why? Well, according to Kaufman, while facilities for the Manhattan Project,
i.e. the atomic bomb, were being constructed, Army radar stations in
Albuquerque, Los Alamos and Alamogordo regularly picked up unidentified blips on
their screens. These radar contacts began in 1942 and continued right up to the
Roswell incident. Kaufman said the UFOs "would hover two or three thousand feet
in the air and then drop like a stone, zip, right off the screen."

Concerned about the threat to the Manhattan Project, the Army placed several CIC
agents at the Roswell base. When the report of a crashed UFO came from
Brigardier General Martin Scanlan on July 4, 1947, Kaufman and his team of
agents went out to the crash site, which he described as "very rough country, no
roads at all." They found the UFO, shaped like a man�s shoe heel, crashed into
the wall of an arroyo. The vehicle was split open, and the team found four dead
aliens...and one that was still alive! 
Kaufman said the UFO was loaded onto a flatbed truck, brought back to the base,
and stored in Hangar 84, which had an armed M.P. platoon all around it. The four
dead aliens were laid out on a tarpaulin before the ambulance took them to the
base hospital for the autopsy. 

Apparently, there�s a lot of information about UFOs in the U.S. during World War
II and the Army Air Corps response to the threat that remains locked away in the
Top Secret file cabinets.
