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

 Yup, the ol' SCR-270 RADAR detected the incomming Japanese
airstrikes from Opana Station on the morning of 7 Dec. 1941.

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.

 Yeah. There was no such thing as an IFF transponder in those
days. They were _all_ unidentified unless you could raise the
aircraft spotters on the ol' EE-8 Field Telephone.

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."

 Yup, early RADARs were funny that way. We didn't have the
high-power magnetron until late 1940, so low frequency, low-
power RADARS were all we had for a while.

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.

 Along with the name "United States Army Air Forces," it would seem.
