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 to 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.
