Gee, Ed, some of us "Gerbils" do pay attention; of course we're not nearly
as bright as you.

    1.. My name is Walter Haut.
    2.. My address is: [-------BLACKED OUT-------]
    3.. I am retired.
    4.. In July 1947, I was stationed at the Roswell Army Air base, serving
as the base Public Information Officer. At approximately 9:30 AM on July 8,
I received a call from Col. William Blanchard, the base commander, who said
he had in his possession a flying saucer or parts thereof. He said it came
from a ranch northwest of Roswell, and that the base Intelligence Officer,
Major Jesse Marcel, was going to fly the material to Fort Worth.
    5.. Col. Blanchard told me to write a news release about the operation
and to deliver it to both newspapers and the two radio stations in Roswell.
He felt that he wanted the local media to have the first opportunity to have
the story. I went first to KGFL, then to KSWS, then to the *Daily Record*
and finally to the *Morning Dispatch*.
    6.. The next day, I read in the newspaper that General Roger Ramey in
Fort Worth has said the object was a weather balloon.
    7.. I believe Col. Blanchard saw the material, because he sounded
positive about what the material was. There is no chance that he would have
mistaken it for a weather balloon. Neither is there any chance that Major
Marcel would have been mistaken.
    8.. In 1980, Jesse Marcel told me that the material photographed in Gen.
Ramey's office was not the material he had recovered.
    9.. I am convinced that the material recovered was some type of craft
from outer space.
    10.. I have not been paid nor given anything of value to make this
statement, and it is the truth to the best of my recollection.

In case you missed it, Walter Haut, the PR officer who passed out the
now famous press release announcing that the Roswell Army Air Force
base had found a Flying Disk, has passed away.

I'm sure that this will initiate another minor rehashing of the
Roswell Incident in some quarters.  It will be interesting to see if
any of the Gerbils polluting some of these groups even know what the
Roswell Incident was all about, let alone the role played by Haut over
the past 58 years.

And for those of you that pay attention, what do you think the Wendy
Conner's tape will reveal?
