being an 67 00:05:19,350 --> 00:05:17,759 amateur rock hat and wanted to get some 68 00:05:21,749 --> 00:05:19,360 of this and it was a way of showing us 69 00:05:23,110 --> 00:05:21,759 around the area and they had relatives 70 00:05:24,950 --> 00:05:23,120 down in 71 00:05:26,070 --> 00:05:24,960 magdalena that they wanted to introduce 72 00:05:28,870 --> 00:05:26,080 us to 73 00:05:30,710 --> 00:05:28,880 so we had gone down there 74 00:05:32,950 --> 00:05:30,720 and uh 75 00:05:34,070 --> 00:05:32,960 we got down in the horse springs area 76 00:05:37,750 --> 00:05:34,080 and had 77 00:05:40,870 --> 00:05:37,760 driven off onto the plains down an old 78 00:05:42,629 --> 00:05:40,880 [Music] 79 00:05:45,590 --> 00:05:42,639 a mile or so 80 00:05:47,830 --> 00:05:45,600 and uh seemed like a long ways 81 00:05:50,830 --> 00:05:47,840 we parked the car got out of the car and 82 00:05:53,110 --> 00:05:50,840 walked down the hillside at a 83 00:05:55,350 --> 00:05:53,120 semi forested i guess you could say it 84 00:05:57,350 --> 00:05:55,360 had pinyon trees and scrub oak and stuff 85 00:06:00,230 --> 00:05:57,360 like that on it and we'd walk to all 86 00:06:04,150 --> 00:06:00,240 that scrub over the cedar and walk down 87 00:06:07,110 --> 00:06:04,160 the hillside into an arroyo a dry wash 88 00:06:09,110 --> 00:06:07,120 and then walked south down to dry wash 89 00:06:10,309 --> 00:06:09,120 toward where the agates were supposed to 90 00:06:12,629 --> 00:06:10,319 be at 91 00:06:14,710 --> 00:06:12,639 and as we came around a bend in the 92 00:06:16,070 --> 00:06:14,720 arroyo that had 93 00:06:17,990 --> 00:06:16,080 pinyon and 94 00:06:19,990 --> 00:06:18,000 cedar trees growing on 95 00:06:23,189 --> 00:06:20,000 we were able to see farther ahead down 96 00:06:25,990 --> 00:06:23,199 the arroyo and on the next ridgeline 97 00:06:27,430 --> 00:06:26,000 there was a large silver disc shaped 98 00:06:29,189 --> 00:06:27,440 object 99 00:06:32,550 --> 00:06:29,199 was embedded in the side of the 100 00:06:34,870 --> 00:06:32,560 ridgeline and there was debris and 101 00:06:38,950 --> 00:06:34,880 wreckage and stuff string about the area 102 00:06:41,270 --> 00:06:38,960 but mainly this thing was intact 103 00:06:43,510 --> 00:06:41,280 i would estimate its size from an adult 104 00:06:46,790 --> 00:06:43,520 perspective to be something like 35 feet 105 00:06:49,270 --> 00:06:46,800 in diameter i've heard other people who 106 00:06:51,670 --> 00:06:49,280 were there say they thought it was like 107 00:06:55,189 --> 00:06:51,680 50 feet but as an adult i would say 108 00:06:57,589 --> 00:06:55,199 about 35 feet in diameter quite large 109 00:07:01,350 --> 00:06:57,599 when we got up to it 110 00:07:02,710 --> 00:07:01,360 there were four bodies there 111 00:07:05,430 --> 00:07:02,720 not human 112 00:07:06,550 --> 00:07:05,440 there was two of them who were obviously 113 00:07:09,270 --> 00:07:06,560 dead 114 00:07:12,309 --> 00:07:09,280 one of them was obviously very badly 115 00:07:14,230 --> 00:07:12,319 injured and one of it apparently 116 00:07:17,110 --> 00:07:14,240 suffered no ill effects or it didn't 117 00:07:19,670 --> 00:07:17,120 appear to be injured and was 118 00:07:22,469 --> 00:07:19,680 was handled before it was mobile now we 119 00:07:24,550 --> 00:07:22,479 just set it there next to the one that 120 00:07:26,390 --> 00:07:24,560 was still alive that appeared were they 121 00:07:28,150 --> 00:07:26,400 right next to the vehicle right next to 122 00:07:31,029 --> 00:07:28,160 it right under the edge of it 123 00:07:34,550 --> 00:07:31,039 and this craft had apparently come in 124 00:07:37,430 --> 00:07:34,560 from the east bounced off one ridgeline 125 00:07:39,670 --> 00:07:37,440 went plowing through this arroyo area 126 00:07:41,909 --> 00:07:39,680 and then crashed into the 127 00:07:42,790 --> 00:07:41,919 ridgeline and embedded itself 128 00:07:44,710 --> 00:07:42,800 and 129 00:07:46,309 --> 00:07:44,720 they were sitting back under the edge it 130 00:07:48,790 --> 00:07:46,319 was kind of tilted up like this and they 131 00:07:49,830 --> 00:07:48,800 were sitting back under the edge here 132 00:07:51,990 --> 00:07:49,840 and 133 00:07:53,670 --> 00:07:52,000 i'm assuming that this one creature that 134 00:07:55,430 --> 00:07:53,680 was all right had 135 00:07:57,510 --> 00:07:55,440 laid this material on the ground but it 136 00:08:00,070 --> 00:07:57,520 looked like unrolled the 137 00:08:03,110 --> 00:08:00,080 tinfoil that these other three creatures 138 00:08:05,029 --> 00:08:03,120 were laying on like it was trying like 139 00:08:07,430 --> 00:08:05,039 like you do a person in shotgun put them 140 00:08:09,749 --> 00:08:07,440 on a blanket kind of thing and 141 00:08:11,589 --> 00:08:09,759 apparently it had some boxes there 142 00:08:14,150 --> 00:08:11,599 around it 143 00:08:15,830 --> 00:08:14,160 and had apparently been trying to 144 00:08:18,309 --> 00:08:15,840 get first aid or help these other 145 00:08:21,029 --> 00:08:18,319 creatures when we first got there 146 00:08:23,270 --> 00:08:21,039 and as we approached 147 00:08:25,029 --> 00:08:23,280 the creature drew back like this like it 148 00:08:26,550 --> 00:08:25,039 was in fear of us like we're going to 149 00:08:27,270 --> 00:08:26,560 hurt it 150 00:08:29,029 --> 00:08:27,280 and 151 00:08:31,270 --> 00:08:29,039 it wasn't very long you know trying to 152 00:08:34,070 --> 00:08:31,280 communicate with the adults were 153 00:08:35,670 --> 00:08:34,080 it seemed to calm down and just sat 154 00:08:37,670 --> 00:08:35,680 there and kind of looked back and forth 155 00:08:39,029 --> 00:08:37,680 watching them apparently trying to 156 00:08:40,790 --> 00:08:39,039 figure out 157 00:08:44,070 --> 00:08:40,800 what was going on like what did it look 158 00:08:46,070 --> 00:08:44,080 like a little bit more these creatures 159 00:08:48,790 --> 00:08:46,080 all of them were all about four foot 160 00:08:50,790 --> 00:08:48,800 tall four four and a half feet tall 161 00:08:52,870 --> 00:08:50,800 they had very large heads were shaped 162 00:08:55,269 --> 00:08:52,880 larger on the top and they kind of 163 00:08:56,790 --> 00:08:55,279 tapered down not to a real sharp point 164 00:08:57,670 --> 00:08:56,800 but just tapered down where they were 165 00:09:00,470 --> 00:08:57,680 thin 166 00:09:03,430 --> 00:09:00,480 and they had very large 167 00:09:05,750 --> 00:09:03,440 very large oval shape or almond shaped i 168 00:09:08,070 --> 00:09:05,760 guess you could say black eyes 169 00:09:10,389 --> 00:09:08,080 that had they were so shiny they had 170 00:09:12,310 --> 00:09:10,399 almost a bluish tint to them when the 171 00:09:15,990 --> 00:09:12,320 light reflected off of them 172 00:09:21,990 --> 00:09:18,230 the best way i could describe that is 173 00:09:24,070 --> 00:09:22,000 kind of a bluish tinted milky white 174 00:09:25,430 --> 00:09:24,080 it was uh it looked like someone in 175 00:09:27,269 --> 00:09:25,440 shock 176 00:09:29,190 --> 00:09:27,279 and the ones that were laying on the 177 00:09:33,190 --> 00:09:29,200 ground were really 178 00:09:35,430 --> 00:09:33,200 really looked more that way more blue 179 00:09:38,310 --> 00:09:35,440 how about ears nose no there was there 180

whether it 183 00:09:47,590 --> 00:09:44,880 was just a riser and then a hole 184 00:09:50,949 --> 00:09:47,600 without you know your earlobe and the 185 00:09:54,470 --> 00:09:50,959 rest of the ear there about nose 186 00:09:56,310 --> 00:09:54,480 it was the nose was very very small 187 00:09:59,190 --> 00:09:56,320 almost imperceptible 188 00:10:01,590 --> 00:09:59,200 uh just like two holes straight in and 189 00:10:03,269 --> 00:10:01,600 the lips were 190 00:10:05,910 --> 00:10:03,279 just a straight line 191 00:10:07,750 --> 00:10:05,920 it's like a cut and you couldn't see any 192 00:10:08,790 --> 00:10:07,760 invisible lips like we have it's just a 193 00:10:09,509 --> 00:10:08,800 slit 194 00:10:11,269 --> 00:10:09,519 and 195 00:10:13,590 --> 00:10:11,279 whatever it sound

00:10:22,069 --> 00:10:20,480 of the creatures including one of those 200 00:10:23,829 --> 00:10:22,079 did you see fingers 201 00:10:25,269 --> 00:10:23,839 yeah they had 202 00:10:27,269 -->

00:11:23,760 the suits were continuous with their 230 00:11:27,350 --> 00:11:24,880 foot here 231 00:11:29,670 --> 00:11:27,360 you could see right about this area down 232 00:11:31,430 --> 00:11:29,680 it seemed to be less pliable it wasn't 233 00:11:33,990 --> 00:11:31,440 feel like this was a stiffer area like 234 00:11:35,670 --> 00:11:34,000 they were boots or shoes or something 235 00:11:36,470 --> 00:11:35,680 but they were all dressed exactly the 236 00:11:39,750 --> 00:11:36,480 same 237 00:11:42,310 --> 00:11:39,760 okay so you and your family are 238 00:11:44,230 -->

this thing was 255 00:12:19,110 --> 00:12:17,040 cocked up and i was standing here the 256 00:12:20,629 --> 00:12:19,120 bodies were here and everybody else was 257 00:12:22,389 --> 00:12:20,639 kind of down here except my cousin 258 00:12:24,710 --> 00:12:22,399 victor was over here playing looking in 259 00:12:27,110 --> 00:12:24,720 his gaping hole on the side of this 260 00:12:29,910 --> 00:12:27,120 this disc and it's shaped just like a 261 00:12:31,670 --> 00:12:29,920 discus except for a round dome was up on 262 00:12:33,269 --> 00:12:31,680 top and there was this big gaming gash 263 00:12:35,910 --> 00:12:33,279 here where you could see inside that 264 00:12:39,269 --> 00:12:35,920 look like a double hall how big the 265 00:12:43,670 --> 00:12:41,269 well 266 00:12:45,590 --> 00:12:43,680 it uh covered the greater majority from 267 00:12:49,269 --> 00:12:45,600 the center of the craft out it was just 268 00:12:50,949 --> 00:12:49,279 like a gaping hole in there and i'm 269 00:12:53,030 --> 00:12:50,959 thinking you know that's like about 30 270 00:12:55,670 --> 00:12:53,040 feet 35 feet in diameter so we're 271 00:12:57,670 --> 00:12:55,680 talking about 17 feet maybe 272 00:12:59,350 --> 00:12:57,680 and most of most of that one side was 273 00:13:00,710 --> 00:12:59,360 ripped open like that and you could see 274 00:13:02,710 --> 00:13:00,720 inside 275 00:13:05,269 --> 00:13:02,720 and you could see another 276 00:13:06,949 --> 00:13:05,279 double hall like 277 00:13:08,470 --> 00:13:06,959 and there and there was just rows of 278 00:13:10,470 --> 00:13:08,480 components 279 00:13:12,389 --> 00:13:10,480 that was on there and there was lights 280 00:13:14,069 --> 00:13:12,399 that flashed 281 00:13:16,230 --> 00:13:14,079 on some of them were steady some were 282 00:13:19,269 --> 00:13:16,240 flashing there was a lot of debris and 283 00:13:20,949 --> 00:13:19,279 stuff hanging out of the hole 284 00:13:22,389 --> 00:13:20,959 there was uh evidence that there had 285 00:13:25,910 --> 00:13:22,399 apparently been fire it looked like it 286 00:13:27,910 --> 00:13:25,920 had been burnt along the edge there 287 00:13:29,590 --> 00:13:27,920 the gas now this wasn't a gas that could 288 00:13:31,030 --> 00:13:29,600 have been caused by the thing coming 289 00:13:32,629 --> 00:13:31,040 into the ground 290 00:13:33,590 --> 00:13:32,639 it wasn't at the leading edge of the 291 00:13:36,310 --> 00:13:33,600 vehicle 292 00:13:38,710 --> 00:13:36,320 no no this was in the side like 293 00:13:40,870 --> 00:13:38,720 it almost appeared it was elliptical 294 00:13:43,110 --> 00:13:40,880 it almost appeared as if something the 295 00:13:45,430 --> 00:13:43,120 same shape as 296 00:13:47,509 --> 00:13:45,440 the disc we were looking at had hit that 297 00:13:49,110 --> 00:13:47,519 that same and it hit the disc and left 298 00:13:51,030 --> 00:13:49,120 an imprint that 299 00:13:53,350 --> 00:13:51,040 pretty closely approximated the outside 300 00:13:57,030 --> 00:13:53,360 diameter of the disc itself 301 00:14:00,069 --> 00:13:57,040 and uh it appeared to be caved inward 302 00:14:02,790 --> 00:14:00,079 okay and and kind of like you'd hit it 303 00:14:05,350 --> 00:14:02,800 like i said just crumpled and caved in 304 00:14:07,670 --> 00:14:05,360 and ripped it open uh 305 00:14:10,150 --> 00:14:07,680 okay so you're you're there you you take 306 00:14:12,870 --> 00:14:10,160 all this and everybody's misdefined what 307 00:14:15,750 --> 00:14:12,880 were the circumstances outside hot cold 308 00:14:17,670 --> 00:14:15,760 very very hot and crap well to me 309 00:14:20,150 --> 00:14:17,680 being the first time in new mexico and 310 00:14:22,470 --> 00:14:20,160 coming from back east that dry heat was 311 00:14:25,750 --> 00:14:22,480 just like being inside of a 312 00:14:27,269 --> 00:14:25,760 oven it was unbelievable to me and 313 00:14:29,110 --> 00:14:27,279 that was the odd part about this thing 314 00:14:30,710 --> 00:14:29,120 the closer you got to it the cooler it 315 00:14:33,829 --> 00:14:30,720 was 316 00:14:36,310 --> 00:14:33,839 and standing under it in the shade there 317 00:14:38,230 --> 00:14:36,320 next to these creatures bodies it was 318 00:14:40,710 --> 00:14:38,240 like 319 00:14:42,389 --> 00:14:40,720 refrigerated air conditioning and 320 00:14:45,350 --> 00:14:42,399 did you feel air coming out of this 321 00:14:47,430 --> 00:14:45,360 thing no it was just like it was ambedia 322 00:14:49,269 --> 00:14:47,440 and i remember 323 00:14:50,790 --> 00:14:49,279 reaching up and putting my hand on the 324 00:14:52,550 --> 00:14:50,800 side of it that i think i was afraid it 325 00:14:54,629 --> 00:14:52,560 was going to hit my head because there 326 00:14:56,230 --> 00:14:54,639 was enough room for me as a small child 327 00:14:57,750 --> 00:14:56,240 you know 328 00:14:59,590 --> 00:14:57,760 i was approximately the same size of 329 00:15:01,590 --> 00:14:59,600 these creatures to to walk up under 330 00:15:03,350 --> 00:15:01,600 there and stand in there but i i 331 00:15:05,189 --> 00:15:03,360 kind of did like that put my hand up 332 00:15:07,509 --> 00:15:05,199 against this thing what did it feel it 333 00:15:08,389 --> 00:15:07,519 was ice cold it felt like it just came 334 00:15:10,710 --> 00:15:08,399 out of her 335 00:15:12,790 --> 00:15:10,720 freezer was it smooth was it 336 00:15:14,550 --> 00:15:12,800 it was very smooth it 337 00:15:16,710 --> 00:15:14,560 had a very smooth texture to it was 338 00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:16,720 obviously made out of metal it was very 339 00:15:21,030 --> 00:15:17,760 solid 340 00:15:23,350 --> 00:15:21,040 and it was very cold ice cold 341 00:15:24,829 --> 00:15:23,360 and there was a smell in the area it 342 00:15:28,389 --> 00:15:24,839 smelled 343 00:15:30,310 --> 00:15:28,399 volatile acreage like uh acetone 344 00:15:32,230 --> 00:15:30,320 and that seemed to be coming out of that 345 00:15:33,910 --> 00:15:32,240 gash that smell 346 00:15:35,749 --> 00:15:33,920 uh 347 00:15:37,269 --> 00:15:35,759 but the closer you got this thing the 348 00:15:39,110 --> 00:15:37,279 cooler it was so like you know i kind of 349 00:15:42,069 --> 00:15:39,120 remained there and i guess the wall they 350 00:15:43,509 --> 00:15:42,079 were over here my father and 351 00:15:45,110 --> 00:15:43,519 my uncle ted 352 00:15:46,710 --> 00:15:45,120 and my brother and 353 00:15:49,430 --> 00:15:46,720 uncle ted was trying to talk to this 354 00:15:51,269

00:39:25,920 that was valley jean okay she was in a 1038 00:39:30,550 --> 00:39:28,880 convent right and 1039 00:39:32,390 --> 00:39:30,560 she was reluctant to do anything you had 1040 00:39:33,750 --> 00:39:32,400 a call a number of times 1041 00:39:35,829 --> 00:39:33,760 that's correct and you talked to the 1042 00:39:37,430 --> 00:39:35,839 bishop somebody talked yeah i talked to 1043 00:39:39,030 --> 00:39:37,440 a bishop 1044 00:39:40,069 --> 00:39:39,040 and he convinced her to send the stuff 1045 00:39:42,150 --> 00:39:40,079 to me 1046 00:39:44,069 --> 00:39:42,160 yes apparently okay because i got 1047 00:39:45,589 --> 00:39:44,079 directly from colorado 1048 00:39:46,950 --> 00:39:45,599 with a cover letter that strongly 1049 00:39:48,550 --> 00:39:46,960 indicated that she didn't want any more 1050 00:39:49,910 --> 00:39:48,560 to do with this that was part of the 1051 00:39:51,510 --> 00:39:49,920 agreement 1052 00:39:54,069 --> 00:39:51,520 but that she considered this the work of 1053 00:39:55,829 --> 00:39:54,079 the devil or worse to that effect anyway 1054 00:39:57,829 --> 00:39:55,839 yeah i think she's in the same opinion 1055 00:39:59,750 --> 00:39:57,839 that her mother was 1056 00:40:01,910 --> 00:39:59,760 okay so 1057 00:40:04,309 --> 00:40:01,920 you see all i ever had of this was the 1058 00:40:05,990 --> 00:40:04,319 was the photographic copies that i had 1059 00:40:08,950 --> 00:40:06,000 showed you originally 1060 00:40:10,870 --> 00:40:08,960 and as i understand it you received i 1061 00:40:12,470 --> 00:40:10,880 received the original from which those 1062 00:40:13,990 --> 00:40:12,480 have been made they were partly burnt 1063 00:40:16,069 --> 00:40:14,000 she mentioned she had intended to burn 1064 00:40:17,190 --> 00:40:16,079 them but because of your persistence and 1065 00:40:19,030 --> 00:40:17,200 with the agreement that i never 1066 00:40:21,190 --> 00:40:19,040 contacted her 1067 00:40:23,589 --> 00:40:21,200 she would send them to me and as you 1068 00:40:25,030 --> 00:40:23,599 know when i had forensic analysis done 1069 00:40:26,790 --> 00:40:25,040 it showed that the ink dated from the 1070 00:40:28,790 --> 00:40:26,800 early 70s the paper could have been 1071 00:40:31,270 --> 00:40:28,800 available in 47 1072 00:40:33,430 --> 00:40:31,280 so it's clearly not an original 1073 00:40:35,829 --> 00:40:33,440 but it was also done before there was 1074 00:40:37,670 --> 00:40:35,839 any publicity about this case 1075 00:40:40,150 --> 00:40:37,680 anyway because i know i was the first 1076 00:40:42,230 --> 00:40:40,160 one to get involved exactly 1077 00:40:45,270 --> 00:40:42,240 now uh 1078 00:40:46,710 --> 00:40:45,280 as you know we have discovered 1079 00:40:48,630 --> 00:40:46,720 not i but 1080 00:40:50,230 --> 00:40:48,640 you had identity sketches done by a 1081 00:40:52,630 --> 00:40:50,240 police artist 1082 00:40:53,910 --> 00:40:52,640 of the various people involved in this 1083 00:40:56,150 --> 00:40:53,920 right 1084 00:40:57,670 --> 00:40:56,160 and as you know there is a picture 1085 00:40:59,589 --> 00:40:57,680 several pictures that seem to indicate 1086 00:41:02,950 --> 00:40:59,599 that dr buskirk 1087 00:41:04,790 --> 00:41:02,960 uh was dr winfred buskirk 1088 00:41:07,030 --> 00:41:04,800 who received his phd at university of 1089 00:41:08,790 --> 00:41:07,040 new mexico and you would describe them 1090 00:41:12,069 --> 00:41:08,800 as in his late 30s early 40s it turns 1091 00:41:14,630 --> 00:41:12,079 out he was 39 in 1947 he was bald and 1092 00:41:16,870 --> 00:41:14,640 bald most of his life even up to then 1093 00:41:17,829 --> 00:41:16,880 uh 1094 00:41:20,390 --> 00:41:17,839 did 1095 00:41:22,950 --> 00:41:20,400 was there other contact between you and 1096 00:41:25,030 --> 00:41:22,960 hey at that time as far as you know your 1097 00:41:25,829 --> 00:41:25,040 family and him or 1098 00:41:28,150 --> 00:41:25,839 uh 1099 00:41:30,230 --> 00:41:28,160 i don't know 1100 00:41:32,470 --> 00:41:30,240 i don't not to my knowledge i don't i 1101 00:41:34,150 --> 00:41:32,480 don't believe my dad 1102 00:41:37,270 --> 00:41:34,160 had ever contacted him there's a 1103 00:41:39,990 --> 00:41:37,280 possibility that ted may have and i'm 1104 00:41:42,230 --> 00:41:40,000 not sure why 1105 00:41:43,670 --> 00:41:42,240 i think valerie jane had alluded to the 1106 00:41:46,470 --> 00:41:43,680 fact that 1107 00:41:47,349 --> 00:41:46,480 ted had been in contact with him 1108 00:41:49,670 --> 00:41:47,359 and 1109 00:41:52,309 --> 00:41:49,680 that they had corresponded in this kind 1110 00:41:54,390 --> 00:41:52,319 of thing but as far as the personal 1111 00:41:56,390 --> 00:41:54,400 knowledge of it okay now you didn't tell 1112 00:41:58,309 --> 00:41:56,400 your story really until the unsolved 1113 00:41:59,990 --> 00:41:58,319 mysteries program was rerun in january 1114 00:42:01,589 --> 00:42:00,000 of 1990 1115 00:42:05,190 --> 00:42:01,599 that's right that's when you contacted 1116 00:42:06,550 --> 00:42:05,200 them got my address wrote me yeah yeah 1117 00:42:08,230 --> 00:42:06,560 we're a little upset that the program 1118 00:42:09,750 --> 00:42:08,240 wasn't quite accurate well yeah that was 1119 00:42:11,430 --> 00:42:09,760 the whole thing it started off as a 1120 00:42:14,069 --> 00:42:11,440 flute to begin with because everything 1121 00:42:17,190 --> 00:42:14,079 that i saw didn't didn't jive with what 1122 00:42:19,670 -->

00:42:23,440 primarily forced you know 1126 00:42:27,750 --> 00:42:26,400 by not only by others but by you know my 1127 00:42:30,470 --> 00:42:27,760 own sense of 1128 00:42:32,470 --> 00:42:30,480 survival to keep my mouth shut and wow 1129 00:42:34,150 --> 00:42:32,480 here it is it's on tv 1130 00:42:35,750 --> 00:42:34,160 and he got it wrong 1131 00:42:37,990 --> 00:42:35,760 that's 1132 00:42:39,990 --> 00:42:38,000 just impulsively called the number and 1133 00:42:41,510 --> 00:42:40,000 told the lady wait a minute you know no 1134 00:42:43,589 --> 00:42:41,520 thing was wrong 1135

00:42:50,069 --> 00:42:48,640 had apparently pulled somebody's 1139 00:42:51,510 --> 00:42:50,079 strength 1140 00:42:52,950 --> 00:42:51,520 yeah and the key thing that was wrong of 1141 00:42:54,390 --> 00:42:52,960 course there were a few mistakes in an 1142 00:42:56,470 --> 00:42:54,400 otherwise excellent program was that 1143 00:42:58,710 --> 00:42:56,480 they had that 1144 00:42:59,670 --> 00:42:58,720 barney barnett the civil engineer story 1145 00:43:01,349 --> 00:42:59,680 over 1146 00:43:03,670 --> 00:43:01,359 near corona and you knew that it was 1147 00:43:05,750 --> 00:43:03,680 over in the in the plains right there's 1148 00:43:08,230 --> 00:43:05,760 a lot more well yeah and then the fact 1149 00:43:11,030 --> 00:43:08,240 that the thing looked like a tent flat 1150 00:43:12,870 --> 00:43:11,040 or a tint top hat and it didn't 1151 00:43:14,950 --> 00:43:12,880 it was this shape and 1152 00:43:16,150 --> 00:43:14,960 barney barnett or whoever the guy in the 1153 00:43:18,550 --> 00:43:16,160 truck was 1154 00:43:21,829 --> 00:43:18,560 did not drive right up to it on a road 1155 00:43:24,230 --> 00:43:21,839 it wasn't parked conveniently next to a 1156 00:43:25,990 --> 00:43:24,240 thoroughfare you know and uh there was 1157 00:43:26,710 --> 00:43:26,000 it was just things like that i i don't 1158 00:43:28,390 --> 00:43:26,720 know 1159 00:43:30,230 --> 00:43:28,400 i just 1160 00:43:31,349 --> 00:43:30,240 for some reason i thought well you know 1161 00:43:33,430 --> 00:43:31,359 geez look 1162 00:43:35,990 --> 00:43:33,440 it's already public yeah it's story's 1163 00:43:37,270 --> 00:43:36,000 out and let's get it right you know 1164 00:43:38,710 --> 00:43:37,280 of course i didn't i don't think i 1165 00:43:41,589 --> 00:43:38,720 realized at the time you know how 1166 00:43:43,670 --> 00:43:41,599 involved this was going to be but 1167 00:43:45,750 --> 00:43:43,680 what kind of research 1168 00:43:47,829 --> 00:43:45,760 now i got you together with uh john 1169 00:43:50,470 --> 00:43:47,839 carpenter the psychiatric social worker 1170 00:43:53,349 --> 00:43:50,480 and you guys had several sessions and 1171 00:43:55,190 --> 00:43:53,359 then we flew out to the site 1172 00:43:57,270 --> 00:43:55,200 uh 1173 00:43:59,109 --> 00:43:57,280 you're reasonably convinced now that the 1174 00:44:01,589 --> 00:43:59,119 second time around out there we did find 1175 00:44:03,270 --> 00:44:01,599 the exact location yeah the the first 1176 00:44:05,910 --> 00:44:03,280 time in i 1177 00:44:10,870 --> 00:44:05,920 you know it was like 43 years and we're 1178 00:44:15,109 --> 00:44:12,870 and so you know the landmarks were a 1179 00:44:16,550 --> 00:44:15,119 little confusing i was positive i was in 1180 00:44:18,550 --> 00:44:16,560 the right place 1181 00:44:20,870 --> 00:44:18,560 but until we actually got on the ground 1182 00:44:23,510 --> 00:44:20,880 john and i and retraced the route in 1183 00:44:25,109 --> 00:44:23,520 there that we had come in in the car 1184 00:44:27,109 --> 00:44:25,119 uh i was 1185 00:44:29,190 --> 00:44:27,119 absolutely sure there was two ridge 1186 00:44:31,670 --> 00:44:29,200 lines there and i wasn't really sure of 1187 00:44:33,990 --> 00:44:31,680 which one it was and i had the feeling 1188 00:44:35,910 --> 00:44:34,000 that the first one that i pointed out 1189 00:44:36,950 --> 00:44:35,920 was the correct one but once i went in 1190 00:44:39,510 --> 00:44:36,960 on the ground 1191 00:44:41,510 --> 00:44:39,520 on foot with john i knew instantly that 1192 00:44:43,910 --> 00:44:41,520 it wasn't that one it was the other one 1193 00:44:46,309 --> 00:44:43,920 and i'm absolutely positive that that's 1194 00:44:47,990 --> 00:44:46,319 where i was at a question in my mind and 1195 00:44:50,390 --> 00:44:48,000 you will recall that you described the 1196 00:44:52,870 --> 00:44:50,400 woman who sold you the pop on the way in 1197 00:44:54,550 --> 00:44:52,880 right and we found the older woman there 1198 00:44:56,309 --> 00:44:54,560 who said that was exactly what she 1199 00:44:59,190 --> 00:44:56,319 looked like that's right and i'll never 1200 00:45:01,510 --> 00:44:59,200 forget that lady because i uh well i had 1201 00:45:04,470 --> 00:45:01,520 it with heat i'm telling you 1202 00:45:06,870 --> 00:45:04,480 backseat of that 40 plymouth down those 1203 00:45:09,990 --> 00:45:06,880 dirty old roads and stuff 1204 00:45:11,670 --> 00:45:10,000 and for mile after mile of course my dad 1205 00:45:12,950 --> 00:45:11,680 was one of these kind of people when he 1206 00:45:15,510 --> 00:45:12,960 got in a car 1207 00:45:17,589 --> 00:45:15,520 it was point a to point b non-stop i 1208 00:45:19,910 --> 00:45:17,599 don't know why he just never stopped to 1209 00:45:22,069 --> 00:45:19,920 smell the roses the wrong way 1210 00:45:24,230 --> 00:45:22,079 and uh so you know i was 1211 00:45:25,750 --> 00:45:24,240 pretty sad shape and yeah i remember 1212 00:45:27,829 --> 00:45:25,760 that lady quite well what kind of 1213 00:45:28,630 --> 00:45:27,839 response have you had he went public i 1214 00:45:30,710 -->

--> 00:55:19,440 the preparation what how what's your 1438 00:55:23,910 --> 00:55:21,760 preparations are for the bodies 1439 00:55:25,190 --> 00:55:23,920 that had been laying out in the elements 1440 00:55:29,270 --> 00:55:25,200 you know 1441 00:55:31,589 --> 00:55:29,280 and uh he said we need to know also 1442 00:55:34,230 --> 00:55:31,599 what uh 1443 00:55:36,710 --> 00:55:34,240 what if your treatments of the bodies 1444 00:55:37,990 --> 00:55:36,720 are the remains uh 1445 00:55:40,069 --> 00:55:38,000 what 1446 00:55:42,150 --> 00:55:40,079 could you do to them and if your 1447 00:55:43,430 --> 00:55:42,160 treatments would it would it change any 1448 00:55:46,950 --> 00:55:43,440 of the 1449 00:55:48,870 --> 00:55:46,960 blood 1450 00:55:52,150 --> 00:55:48,880 would it make a difference 1451 00:55:54,470 --> 00:55:52,160 and i said i thought probably it would 1452 00:55:56,630 --> 00:55:54,480 and i said 1453 00:55:58,470 --> 00:55:56,640 of course he knew exactly how we would 1454 00:56:00,789 --> 00:55:58,480 treat those bodies because we 1455 00:56:03,430 --> 00:56:00,799 have an outline from them and what we 1456 00:56:05,190 --> 00:56:03,440 really have to

00:57:05,349 --> 00:57:04,000 would do it well yes you know we would 1484 00:57:07,589 --> 00:57:05,359 like to know 1485 00:57:09,430 --> 00:57:07,599 so that's when i explained to him that 1486 00:57:11,030 --> 00:57:09,440 we would have the vats that we would 1487 00:57:14,630 --> 00:57:11,040 fill up with the 1488 00:57:17,589 --> 00:57:14,640 with formaldehyde solution with water 1489 00:57:18,630 --> 00:57:17,599 and we put the bodies in them uh 1490 00:57:20,950 --> 00:57:18,640 let them 1491 00:57:22,390 --> 00:57:20,960 stay there for 24 hours and then take 1492 00:57:23,589 --> 00:57:22,400 them out 1493 00:57:25,109 --> 00:57:23,599 and 1494 00:57:27,030 --> 00:57:25,119 then we would 1495 00:57:31,990 --> 00:57:27,040 pack the bodies in the 1496 00:57:35,990 --> 00:57:34,069 what we would pack them in then 1497 00:57:38,390 --> 00:57:36,000 wrap them in the plastics bodies that 1498 00:57:40,390 --> 00:57:38,400 were badly decomposed 1499 00:57:42,950 --> 00:57:40,400 if there was tissue deep tissue we would 1500 00:57:45,750 --> 00:57:42,960 have to do it hypodermically 1501 00:57:47,349 --> 00:57:45,760 with needles to get to the deep tissue 1502 00:57:49,510 --> 00:57:47,359 then we would have to aspirate the 1503 00:57:50,710 --> 00:57:49,520 cavities if the cavities hadn't already 1504 00:57:53,750 --> 00:57:50,720 ruptured 1505 00:57:55,510 --> 00:57:53,760 and then put some cavity fluid in those 1506 00:57:57,670 --> 00:57:55,520 i said that's you know kind of normal 1507 00:57:59,270 --> 00:57:57,680 procedure 1508 00:58:01,109 --> 00:57:59,280 yeah at 1509 00:58:02,870 --> 00:58:01,119 one point we finally offered to take 1510 00:58:04,950 --> 00:58:02,880 care of it for them well i offered two 1511 00:58:07,510 --> 00:58:04,960 three times yeah 1512 00:58:09,270 --> 00:58:07,520 that conversation one point 1513 00:58:10,470 --> 00:58:09,280 you mean when i offered to 1514 00:58:12,870 --> 00:58:10,480 take care of them 1515 00:58:14,309 --> 00:58:12,880 he said well we don't really right at 1516 00:58:16,789 --> 00:58:14,319 this time we don't really need your 1517 00:58:18,470 --> 00:58:16,799 assistant but he said in case something 1518 00:58:19,910 --> 00:58:18,480 like this should happen then he said we 1519 00:58:21,829 --> 00:58:19,920 would be prepared and we would know what 1520 00:58:24,789 --> 00:58:21,839 to do 1521 00:58:25,829 --> 00:58:24,799 then we got back on to the subject of 1522 00:58:28,150 --> 00:58:25,839 maybe 1523 00:58:30,470 --> 00:58:28,160 not damaging any of the 1524 00:58:32,950 --> 00:58:30,480 the chemicals 1525 00:58:34,950 --> 00:58:32,960 compounds or anything with the bodies or 1526 00:58:37,589 --> 00:58:34,960 you know tissues 1527 00:58:39,109 --> 00:58:37,599 whatever because it 1528 00:58:40,870 --> 00:58:39,119 and they wanted you know how do you 1529 00:58:43,030 --> 00:58:40,880 would you pick bodies up like that and

00:58:47,920 to seem a little strange to you at that 1534 00:58:51,910 --> 00:58:50,400 point well i thought maybe what happened 1535 00:58:54,390 --> 00:58:51,920 they might have had a 1536 00:58:55,829 --> 00:58:54,400 vip or you know some officer and 1537 00:58:57,670 --> 00:58:55,839 something that happened they maybe they 1538 00:58:59,270 --> 00:58:57,680 didn't want you know 1539 00:59:01,430 --> 00:58:59,280 want to keep it quiet and they probably 1540 00:59:04,789 --> 00:59:01,440 won't do it themselves not be involved 1541 00:59:06,549 --> 00:59:04,799 with the civilian and

curious 1546 00:59:13,670 --> 00:59:12,000 and you went out to the base as i 1547 00:59:15,589 --> 00:59:13,680 understand it can you review that well 1548 00:59:17,430 --> 00:59:15,599 no i didn't go out to the base yeah i 1549 00:59:19,829 --> 00:59:17,440 was curious but 1550 00:59:22,309 --> 00:59:19,839 the only i didn't go out to the base and 1551 00:59:24,390 --> 00:59:22,319 probably a couple hours later 1552 00:59:25,990 --> 00:59:24,400 and i'd got an emergency call there was 1553 00:59:27,670 --> 00:59:26,000 an airman that was injured in an 1554 00:59:30,870 --> 00:59:27,680

--> 01:04:07,680 something that they hadn't had a crash 1682 01:04:11,109 --> 01:04:09,200 because i've seen them do this a lot of 1683 01:04:13,750 --> 01:04:11,119 times bring in pieces 1684

bluish tint to it 1703 01:04:59,349 --> 01:04:57,200 what was odd about it it looked like 1704 01:05:01,829 --> 01:04:59,359 around the curved part in the front of 1705 01:05:03,670 --> 01:05:01,839 the canoe there was some 1706 01:05:09,349 --> 01:05:03,680 some 1707 01:05:12,150 --> 01:05:09,359 whatever 1708 01:05:14,470 --> 01:05:12,160 and it was probably about three inches 1709 01:05:17,510

[Music] 1858 01:11:02,310 --> 01:11:00,560 horrible i've never been so horrified in 1859 01:11:03,910 --> 01:11:02,320 my life i've never seen anything so 1860 01:11:05,910 --> 01:11:03,920 gruesome

--> 01:11:11,120 told me that when i saw her she was 1865 01:11:15,430 --> 01:11:13,120 leaving the room to go to the bathroom 1866 01:11:17,590 --> 01:11:15,440 because she was deathly ill and was 1867 01:11:19,350 --> 01:11:17,600 going to throw up 1868 01:11:20,149 --> 01:11:19,360 did she recognize any of the doctors by 1869 01:11:24,070 --> 01:11:20,159 the 1870 01:11:28,630 --> 01:11:26,390 she said i don't i ask you that question 1871 01:11:30,630 --> 01:11:28,640 which to the doctors and she said i 1872 01:11:32,390 --> 01:11:30,640 don't know that she said 1873 01:11:34,950 --> 01:11:32,400 i don't know that i knew them and that 1874 01:11:36,790 --> 01:11:34,960 was her answer 1875 01:11:38,390 --> 01:11:36,800 so but she said she walked in the room 1876 01:11:40,310 --> 01:11:38,400 and they said hey we need you you need 1877 01:11:42,709 --> 01:11:40,320 to help us 1878 01:11:43,590 --> 01:11:42,719 and that was the way she became involved 1879 01:11:45,750 --> 01:11:43,600 in it 1880 01:11:47,910 --> 01:11:45,760 and then she got held the doctors also 1881 01:11:49,750 --> 01:11:47,920 became very ill they would have to do 1882 01:11:51,350 --> 01:11:49,760 a little examination then they'd have to 1883 01:11:52,950 --> 01:11:51,360 leave and go sit down and then they 1884 01:11:57,030 --> 01:11:52,960 would come back and do a little bit more 1885 01:12:01,910 --> 01:11:59,110 after your conversation with her at 1886 01:12:03,110 --> 01:12:01,920 lunch can you describe 1887 01:12:05,510 --> 01:12:03,120 what happened tonight did you how you 1888 01:12:07,110 --> 01:12:05,520 were unable to see her again and 1889 01:12:09,910 --> 01:12:07,120 how you learned 1890 01:12:11,590 --> 01:12:09,920 well yeah we invested a while and then 1891 01:12:14,149 --> 01:12:11,600 i had to get back to the funeral home go 1892 01:12:15,350 --> 01:12:14,159 back to work but uh 1893 01:12:17,430 --> 01:12:15,360 then uh 1894 01:12:19,510 --> 01:12:17,440 i never did see her after that 1895 01:12:21,669 --> 01:12:19,520 and i called out the next day to see how 1896 01:12:23,270 --> 01:12:21,679 she was feeling see what 1897 01:12:24,550 --> 01:12:23,280 and they told me that she wasn't 1898 01:12:25,510 --> 01:12:24,560 available 1899 01:12:27,270 --> 01:12:25,520 then i 1900 01:12:28,950 --> 01:12:27,280 wouldn't be available that day i called 1901 01:12:30,310 --> 01:12:28,960 the next day 1902 01:12:32,229 --> 01:12:30,320 and they told me that she'd been 1903 01:12:34,149 --> 01:12:32,239 transferred 1904 01:12:35,830 --> 01:12:34,159 and it was rather odd because she'd only 1905 01:12:37,669 --> 01:12:35,840 been at the base less than three months 1906 01:12:39,030 --> 01:12:37,679 that was her on commission less than 1907 01:12:41,510 --> 01:12:39,040 three months and that was her first 1908 01:12:43,430 --> 01:12:41,520 assignment so it was rather odd that she 1909 01:12:45,990 --> 01:12:43,440 would be transferred out you know within 1910 01:12:48,470 --> 01:12:46,000 three months 1911 01:12:50,790 --> 01:12:48,480 so later on you attempted you gotta i 1912 01:12:52,070 --> 01:12:50,800 guess you got a letter then about two 1913 01:12:55,750 --> 01:12:52,080 weeks 1914 01:12:57,990 --> 01:12:55,760 could have been a little long but i know 1915 01:13:00,310 --> 01:12:58,000 it was at least two weeks i got a 1916 01:13:03,350 --> 01:13:00,320 i got a letter addressed to me at 1917 01:13:05,030 --> 01:13:03,360 glendale's at the ballard fuel home 1918 01:13:07,110 --> 01:13:05,040 with 1919 01:13:08,950 --> 01:13:07,120 she didn't sign didn't have any returned 1920 01:13:10,149 --> 01:13:08,960 address or anything on it but inside of 1921 01:13:12,070 --> 01:13:10,159 the letter 1922 01:13:15,110 --> 01:13:12,080 it was just a note she said i don't have 1923 01:13:17,590 --> 01:13:15,120 time to write i will write lay it later 1924 01:13:19,030 --> 01:13:17,600 this is my apo number 1925 01:13:21,189 --> 01:13:19,040 and that was 1926 01:13:22,790 --> 01:13:21,199 that was the extent of it 1927 01:13:25,030 --> 01:13:22,800 so then i 1928 01:13:26,470 --> 01:13:25,040 wrote back to her 1929 01:13:28,310 --> 01:13:26,480 and 1930 01:13:30,630 --> 01:13:28,320 asked her more or less how you know how 1931 01:13:33,110 --> 01:13:30,640 she was feeling and why the sudden 1932 01:13:34,870 --> 01:13:33,120 transfer and then i hope that she wasn't 1933 01:13:36,630 --> 01:13:34,880 in any trouble 1934 01:13:39,270 --> 01:13:36,640 it was just a short note i really didn't 1935 01:13:41,910 --> 01:13:39,280 go into a lot of detail or anything 1936 01:13:44,790 --> 01:13:41,920 then probably three weeks or probably a 1937 01:13:46,790 --> 01:13:44,800 month after that then i got the letter 1938 01:13:50,149 --> 01:13:46,800 that i had mailed to her 1939 01:13:53,030 --> 01:13:50,159 it was returned it was step return 1940 01:13:54,950 --> 01:13:53,040 and also it's on the on in red printing 1941 01:13:57,189 --> 01:13:54,960 it said deceased 1942 01:13:58,950 --> 01:13:57,199 and that's the last time i ever heard or 1943 01:14:00,790 --> 01:13:58,960 heard anything about it 1944 01:14:03,350 --> 01:14:00,800 then well 1945 01:14:05,830 --> 01:14:03,360 probably then i went out to the base 1946 01:14:07,110 --> 01:14:05,840 a few days later and i was talking to 1947 01:14:09,270 --> 01:14:07,120 one of the nurses and i said you know 1948 01:14:11,270 --> 01:14:09,280 whatever happened to the lieutenant 1949 01:14:12,950 --> 01:14:11,280 and she said well the rumor is that we 1950 01:14:15,030 --> 01:14:12,960 heard that she was killed with five 1951 01:14:16,790 --> 01:14:15,040 other nurses in a training mission in a 1952 01:14:19,590 --> 01:14:16,800 plane crash 1953 01:14:21,350 --> 01:14:19,600 and that was it no indication of where 1954 01:14:23,430 --> 01:14:21,360 well it was in london england she said 1955 01:14:25,110 --> 01:14:23,440 in in the note that she sent me that she 1956 01:14:26,950 --> 01:14:25,120 was in london 1957 01:14:28,630 --> 01:14:26,960 stationed in london 1958 01:14:30,149 --> 01:14:28,640 and that was it that's the last time i 1959 01:14:32,870 --> 01:14:30,159 ever heard 1960 01:14:34,550 --> 01:14:32,880 do you believe that she's dead 1961 01:14:36,229 --> 01:14:34,560

never would tell them who my brother i 2045 01:17:54,070 --> 01:17:52,400 had a brother that was a fighter pilot 2046 01:17:56,470 --> 01:17:54,080 during that time 2047 01:17:59,030 --> 01:17:56,480 and i had three sisters 2048 01:18:01,189 --> 01:17:59,040 and one of them was a nurse 2049 01:18:03,750 --> 01:18:01,199 but i bet he would never tell him 2050 01:18:05,350 --> 01:18:03,760 anything and so he didn't tell the chair 2051 01:18:06,550 --> 01:18:05,360 for anybody else because the sheriff was 2052 01:18:07,830 --> 01:18:06,560 supposed to call him back and give him 2053 01:18:09,510 --> 01:18:07,840 the names of where they were at and he 2054 01:18:11,590 --> 01:18:09,520 wouldn't do it 2055 01:18:14,470 --> 01:18:11,600 let's get back to 2056 01:18:19,110 --> 01:18:17,750 did she express an opinion as to what 2057 01:18:20,310 --> 01:18:19,120 she thought 2058 01:18:21,590 --> 01:18:20,320 these 2059 01:18:23,110 --> 01:18:21,600 beings were 2060 01:18:27,189 --> 01:18:23,120 did she think 2061 01:18:31,110 --> 01:18:27,199 she 2062 01:18:32,149 --> 01:18:31,120 ever made was that they definitely 2063 01:18:33,189 --> 01:18:32,159 weren't 2064 01:18:37,910 --> 01:18:33,199 humans 2065 01:18:39,750 --> 01:18:37,920 another planet or the doctors were 2066 01:18:41,830 --> 01:18:39,760 explaining this that they couldn't be 2067 01:18:43,590 --> 01:18:41,840 from our planet they had to be 2068 01:18:45,350 --> 01:18:43,600 an alien there had to be something else 2069 01:18:47,750 --> 01:18:45,360 but not not 2070 01:18:50,790 --> 01:18:47,760 in our planet 2071 01:18:52,550 --> 01:18:50,800 she had a phrase she used to describe 2072 01:18:54,630 --> 01:18:52,560 how they looked to her 2073 01:18:57,350 --> 01:18:54,640 you remember that they were telling me 2074 01:18:58,630 --> 01:18:57,360 like little black [\h__\h] well she said 2075 01:19:00,630 --> 01:18:58,640 that 2076 01:19:02,470 --> 01:19:00,640 well of course they would you know first 2077 01:19:04,870 --> 01:19:02,480 thing she said they were black they were 2078 01:19:07,510 --> 01:19:04,880 just as black as they could be but 2079 01:19:10,550 --> 01:19:07,520 probably laying out in the elements in 2080 01:19:12,709 --> 01:19:10,560 july and roswell with 105 to 110 2081 01:19:14,310 --> 01:19:12,719 temperature every day and 80 degrees or 2082 01:19:15,830 --> 01:19:14,320 so at night 2083 01:19:18,630 --> 01:19:15,840 i mean that's not that wouldn't be 2084 01:19:20,630 --> 01:19:18,640 uncommon because we picked up a lot of 2085 01:19:22,229 --> 01:19:20,640 cheap herds of people that have 2086 01:19:23,910 --> 01:19:22,239 been found dead that's laying in the 2087 01:19:25,990 --> 01:19:23,920 desert you know for days and getting 2088 01:19:28,229 --> 01:19:26,000 with rattlesnakes or whatever 2089 01:19:30,310 --> 01:19:28,239 and they do turn you know as black as 2090 01:19:31,990 --> 01:19:30,320 they can and 2091 01:19:33,590 --> 01:19:32,000 i know exactly what they were talking 2092 01:19:36,310 --> 01:19:33,600 about 2093 01:19:38,149 --> 01:19:36,320 with the smell and the odor being so 2094 01:19:41,270 --> 01:19:38,159 drastic because this is a very 2095 01:19:43,189 --> 01:19:41,280 unpleasant situation you know and uh 2096 01:19:45,510 --> 01:19:43,199 let's talk about their eyes 2097 01:19:48,229 --> 01:19:45,520 how did she describe their eyes well she 2098 01:19:50,550 --> 01:19:48,239 said that of course their eyes were set 2099 01:19:52,630 --> 01:19:50,560 back into the skull 2100 01:19:54,709 --> 01:19:52,640 oh and it was a remarkable i thought it 2101 01:19:57,350 --> 01:19:54,719 was interesting also that she said their 2102 01:19:59,669 --> 01:19:57,360 skulls the doctor said their skull bone 2103 01:20:01,030 --> 01:19:59,679 structure wasn't like ours it wasn't 2104 01:20:03,030 --> 01:20:01,040 actually a bone 2105 01:20:06,229 --> 01:20:03,040 it was probably a real heavy cartilage 2106 01:20:08,229 --> 01:20:06,239 it it looked more or less like a newborn 2107 01:20:10,390 --> 01:20:08,239 baby the skull was very pliable you 2108 01:20:11,189 --> 01:20:10,400 could mesh on the skull and it would you 2109 01:20:13,030 --> 01:20:11,199 know 2110 01:20:14,229 --> 01:20:13,040 it would give 2111 01:20:17,030 --> 01:20:14,239 and so 2112 01:20:19,189 --> 01:20:17,040 it the bone structure it wasn't bones 2113 01:20:20,629 --> 01:20:19,199 not like our bones it was our skull and 2114 01:20:23,350 --> 01:20:20,639 everything 2115 01:20:25,750 --> 01:20:23,360 what about the bones in the hands 2116 01:20:27,750 --> 01:20:25,760 i said very fine very delicate the arm 2117 01:20:29,750 --> 01:20:27,760 bones they'd like the radial yellow and 2118 01:20:31,590 --> 01:20:29,760 in the arm that 2119 01:20:33,430 --> 01:20:31,600 it was so fine that 2120 01:20:35,350 --> 01:20:33,440 he doubt if they could lift you know she 2121 01:20:36,950 --> 01:20:35,360 said they doubt if they could anyone in 2122 01:20:38,870 --> 01:20:36,960 the touch size and the arms of that 2123 01:20:40,709 --> 01:20:38,880 could lift 50 pounds on the earth or 2124 01:20:42,550 --> 01:20:40,719 anywhere else and you know they doubted 2125 01:20:44,470 --> 01:20:42,560 they had that strength 2126 01:20:46,470 --> 01:20:44,480 but she said what 2127 01:20:48,629 --> 01:20:46,480 the one that hadn't been 2128 01:20:51,110 --> 01:20:48,639 uh mutilated 2129 01:20:53,669 --> 01:20:51,120 to a great extent it reminded him of a 2130

2134 01:21:02,229 --> 01:21:00,480 delicate skin 2135 01:21:03,910 --> 01:21:02,239 in fact he said the skin would look like 2136 01:21:07,110 --> 01:21:03,920 they could almost see through it almost 2137 01:21:10,950 --> 01:21:09,189 um 2138 01:21:13,430 --> 01:21:10,960 why don't you give me a paragraph on the 2139 01:21:16,149 --> 01:21:13,440 ears and the nostrils 2140 01:21:17,990 -->

to ours but the bones were so 2233 01:25:34,550 --> 01:25:32,719 small that that their bones probably 2234 01:25:35,830 --> 01:25:34,560 wasn't in the arms wasn't any larger 2235 01:25:38,470 --> 01:25:35,840 than my finger 2236 01:25:41,270 --> 01:25:39,430 um 2237 01:25:43,430 --> 01:25:41,280 okay now give me two or three sentences 2238 01:25:45,430 --> 01:25:43,440 on how they were dressed

--> 01:31:35,840 the more to the mortuary officer i 2399 01:31:39,030 --> 01:31:37,760 suggested this to the mortuary officer 2400 01:31:40,629 --> 01:31:39,040 after when we 2401 01:31:43,430 --> 01:31:40,639 we discussed this probably for 20 2402 01:31:45,590 --> 01:31:43,440 minutes or better on the telephone 2403 01:31:47,430 --> 01:31:45,600 and i said i kept telling him hey you 2404 01:31:48,950 --> 01:31:47,440 know if you have a problem if you got 2405 01:31:50,870 --> 01:31:48,960 something out there if you need our 2406 01:31:52,790 --> 01:31:50,880 services we have the

kept always referring this was 2410 01:32:00,550 --> 01:31:58,800 for future use in case we did have 2411 01:32:02,229 --> 01:32:00,560 something 2412 01:32:04,790 --> 01:32:02,239 but 2413 01:32:07,270 --> 01:32:04,800 then i i said well you know first thing 2414 01:32:08,790 --> 01:32:07,280 you better do you better get a hold of a 2415 01:32:11,189 --> 01:32:08,800 pathologist i don't know whether you 2416 01:32:13,590 --> 01:32:11,199 have one at the base i don't but i know 2417 01:32:15,430 --> 01:32:13,600 you probably have the top pathologist 2418 01:32:16,629 --> 01:32:15,440 you know something similar to those 2419 01:32:18,229 --> 01:32:16,639 words 2420 01:32:20,229 --> 01:32:18,239 and i said that's what i do and you 2421 01:32:22,390 --> 01:32:20,239 better let him give you the instructions 2422 01:32:23,590 --> 01:32:22,400 and then you better do what he tells you 2423 01:32:25,669 --> 01:32:23,600 to do because he's the one that's going 2424 01:32:27,430 --> 01:32:25,679 to do the autopsy 2425 01:32:29,110 --> 01:32:27,440 and you know if that's if it's this 2426 01:32:31,590 --> 01:32:29,120 sensitive you better do what he tells 2427 01:32:33,750 --> 01:32:31,600 you but i said the only other suggestion 2428 01:32:36,790 --> 01:32:33,760 i can make that you go to clarity's 2429 01:32:39,030 --> 01:32:36,800 dairy or you go to sunset creamery 2430 01:32:40,629 --> 01:32:39,040 buy all the dry ice you can and pack 2431 01:32:42,310 --> 01:32:40,639 whatever you have whatever the problem 2432 01:32:44,229 --> 01:32:42,320 is you better pack it in dry ice and 2433 01:32:45,750 --> 01:32:44,239 then do whatever you have to do with it 2434 01:32:49,270 --> 01:32:45,760 because that's the only way 2435 01:32:51,830 --> 01:32:49,280 they tried to put it in the morgue 2436 01:32:52,790 --> 01:32:51,840 out tomorrow they had two refrigerated 2437 01:32:54,629 --> 01:32:52,800 body 2438 01:32:56,310 --> 01:32:54,639 compartments that we used to put them in 2439 01:32:58,149 --> 01:32:56,320 and then we'd go out and get the bodies 2440 01:33:00,070 --> 01:32:58,159 from there but they always brought the 2441 01:33:02,629 --> 01:33:00,080 airmen to us but on the dependents and 2442 01:33:04,709 --> 01:33:02,639 everything we went out for them 2443 01:33:06,629 --> 01:33:04,719 but they weren't cold enough in the end 2444 01:33:08,070 --> 01:33:06,639 it became so offensive they were afraid 2445 01:33:11,350 --> 01:33:08,080 they were going to you know we were 2446 01:33:13,350 --> 01:33:11,360 going to upset everybody in the hospital 2447 01:33:14,790 --> 01:33:13,360 so they later moved them over to a 2448 01:33:16,310 --> 01:33:14,800 hangar 2449 01:33:17,750 --> 01:33:16,320 and that's less that she knew anything 2450

01:33:25,669 --> 01:33:23,040 anything about it but 2454 01:33:27,669 --> 01:33:25,679 they were taken to a hangar 2455 01:33:29,189 --> 01:33:27,679 because the offense the odor was so 2456 01:33:30,950 --> 01:33:29,199 offensive they couldn't 2457 01:33:33,030 --> 01:33:30,960 that likely said it was upsetting 2458 01:33:34,709 --> 01:33:33,040 everything 2459 01:33:36,709 -->

well i was asleep 2494 01:35:08,629 --> 01:35:06,000 for one thing i'm not 2495 01:35:09,750 --> 01:35:08,639 i want to say it was very early hours it 2496 01:35:11,350 --> 01:35:09,760 was either very late in the evening and 2497 01:35:12,950 --> 01:35:11,360 very early in the morning 2498 01:35:14,629 --> 01:35:12,960 when he came back 2499 01:35:17,350 --> 01:35:14,639 and i had awakened 2500 01:35:20,709 --> 01:35:17,360 both myself and my mother 2501 01:35:23,030 --> 01:35:20,719 and why did he make you wake you both up 2502 01:35:25,109 --> 01:35:23,040 he had something you wanted to show us 2503 01:35:26,870 --> 01:35:25,119 this apparently was some 2504 01:35:29,669 --> 01:35:26,880 debris or something he brought in from 2505 01:35:31,669 --> 01:35:29,679 the field at that time and 2506 01:35:33,350 --> 01:35:31,679 i understand he was on his way to the 2507 01:35:35,430 --> 01:35:33,360 air base to deliver this but he felt 2508 01:35:37,590 --> 01:35:35,440 that this was unusual enough that he 2509 01:35:38,790 --> 01:35:37,600 wanted us to see it first before he 2510 01:35:42,149 --> 01:35:38,800 delivered it to 2511 01:35:44,390 --> 01:35:42,159 his proper destination and what happened 2512 01:35:47,030 --> 01:35:44,400 what happened after he woke you up 2513 01:35:48,709 --> 01:35:47,040 well he was as i recall very excited and 2514 01:35:50,550 --> 01:35:48,719 uh again he said i want to show you 2515 01:35:51,830 --> 01:35:50,560 something and 2516 01:35:55,350 --> 01:35:51,840 so i got my 2517 01:35:57,590 --> 01:35:55,360 my house coat on i did my mother and 2518 01:35:59,430 --> 01:35:57,600 he had gone out to the car and brought 2519 01:36:00,950 --> 01:35:59,440 back in some 2520 01:36:03,430 --> 01:36:00,960 metallic debris i believe it was in a 2521 01:36:05,109 --> 01:36:03,440 box i know 2522 01:36:06,709 --> 01:36:05,119 i don't recall whether i walked outside 2523 01:36:08,470 --> 01:36:06,719 with him or not but 2524 01:36:11,350 --> 01:36:08,480 he made it seem like the 2525 01:36:12,470 --> 01:36:11,360 1942 buick we had was loaded with this 2526 01:36:15,350 --> 01:36:12,480 stuff 2527 01:36:18,149 --> 01:36:15,360 in the back seat and in the trunk area 2528 01:36:21,109 --> 01:36:18,159 at any rate he brought the material in 2529 01:36:23,270 --> 01:36:21,119 and spread it on the kitchen floor 2530 01:36:24,950 --> 01:36:23,280 and in an effort to 2531 01:36:27,590 --> 01:36:24,960 try to piece it together 2532 01:36:30,310 --> 01:36:27,600 like a jigsaw plus if you get some 2533 01:36:32,390 --> 01:36:30,320 idea of the form on this but 2534 01:36:34,390 --> 01:36:32,400 unfortunately there's too much of it too 2535 01:36:36,709 --> 01:36:34,400 finely divided to do that 2536 01:36:39,109 --> 01:36:36,719 how old were you at the time 2537 01:36:41,430 --> 01:36:39,119 uh 11. 2538 01:36:43,270 --> 01:36:41,440 and uh when he spread all this material 2539 01:36:45,030 --> 01:36:43,280 out on the floor what was your 2540 01:36:46,390 --> 01:36:45,040 impression about 2541 01:36:48,229 --> 01:36:46,400 the 2542 01:36:50,070 --> 01:36:48,239 what this what this material was like 2543 01:36:51,830 --> 01:36:50,080 how would you describe it well initially 2544 01:36:54,390 --> 01:36:51,840 just looking at what's this all about 2545 01:36:55,750 --> 01:36:54,400 you know sleepo 2546 01:36:58,229 --> 01:36:55,760 fish but then when you get down and 2547 01:37:00,470 --> 01:36:58,239 looking at it uh it was the unusual 2548 01:37:01,750 --> 01:37:00,480 character of the debris and 2549 01:37:03,270 --> 01:37:01,760 i want to say that he said something 2550 01:37:05,350 --> 01:37:03,280 like this is from a flying saucer but 2551 01:37:06,229 --> 01:37:05,360 i'm not sure that he said that but the 2552 01:37:07,910 --> 01:37:06,239 meeting was clear that there was 2553 01:37:09,990 --> 01:37:07,920 something very special 2554 01:37:11,590 --> 01:37:10,000 and he wanted us to look at it 2555 01:37:15,189 --> 01:37:11,600 and what's your recollection about what 2556 01:37:17,430 --> 01:37:15,199 the material looks like felt like 2557 01:37:20,070 --> 01:37:17,440 well i can divide into three major 2558 01:37:21,669 --> 01:37:20,080 categories i'm thinking back on it quite 2559 01:37:23,189 --> 01:37:21,679 a few times 2560 01:37:25,350 --> 01:37:23,199 there was a lot of 2561 01:37:26,629 --> 01:37:25,360 rather thick foil like 2562 01:37:28,950 --> 01:37:26,639 material 2563 01:37:32,149 --> 01:37:28,960 kind of 2564 01:37:35,510 --> 01:37:32,159 not a shiny aluminum but burnished or a 2565 01:37:37,590 --> 01:37:35,520 slate gray type of aluminum metal 2566 01:37:39,750 --> 01:37:37,600 there was a black 2567 01:37:41,669 --> 01:37:39,760 plastic type debris like bakelite which 2568 01:37:42,790 --> 01:37:41,679 was shattered it was very brittle 2569 01:37:45,030 --> 01:37:42,800 material 2570 01:37:50,670 --> 01:37:45,040 and then there were fragments of what 2571 01:37:55,030 --> 01:37:53,189 [Music] 2572 01:37:57,350 --> 01:37:55,040 let's let's talk a little bit about each 2573 01:37:59,669 --> 01:37:57,360 category for a little bit of detail if 2574 01:38:02,550 --> 01:37:59,679 you will let's talk about first the foil 2575 01:38:05,590 --> 01:38:02,560 light substance what 2576 01:38:06,790 --> 01:38:05,600 what sort of what was the size of this 2577 01:38:08,229 --> 01:38:06,800 material 2578 01:38:09,990 --> 01:38:08,239 well i don't recall seeing any piece 2579 01:38:11,030 --> 01:38:10,000 that was greater than four to six inches 2580 01:38:14,550 --> 01:38:11,040 in 2581 01:38:19,189 --> 01:38:17,270 i don't recall whether i tried to test 2582 01:38:20,629 --> 01:38:19,199 it for being able to tear it or bend it 2583 01:38:21,990 --> 01:38:20,639 or anything like that 2584 01:38:26,310 --> 01:38:22,000 it was very light 2585 01:38:29,270 --> 01:38:26,320 and again a dull metallic gray color 2586 01:38:31,510 --> 01:38:29,280 and there was a lot of that 2587 01:38:36,470 --> 01:38:31,520 how thick would you describe this 2588 01:38:40,310 --> 01:38:38,629 was thicker than the usual 2589 01:38:41,669 --> 01:38:40,320 kitchen foil 2590 01:38:43,750 --> 01:38:41,679 i guess there's a 2591 01:38:45,990 --> 01:38:43,760 newer foil out now for heavy-duty use 2592 01:38:48,149 --> 01:38:46,000 that is used in uh storing food and 2593 01:38:50,709 --> 01:38:48,159 that's approximately what it was like in 2594 01:38:52,470 --> 01:38:50,719 terms of thickness thickness any other 2595 01:38:54,229 --> 01:38:52,480 similarities to 2596 01:38:56,390 --> 01:38:54,239 everyday household items that people 2597 01:38:59,510 --> 01:38:56,400 well it's metallic you know that's all i 2598 01:39:03,750 --> 01:39:02,550 and the pieces of of the foil-like 2599 01:39:06,390 --> 01:39:03,760 substance 2600 01:39:09,669 --> 01:39:06,400 uh what shape were they 2601 01:39:09,679 --> 01:39:15,109 shredded at least today on 2602 01:39:19,669 --> 01:39:17,430 and it was a lot of this material 2603 01:39:21,669 --> 01:39:19,679 well enough to cover the floor 2604 01:39:23,189 --> 01:39:21,679 was this uh and more because there was a 2605 01:39:24,709 --> 01:39:23,199 lot more left in the car that's what i 2606 01:39:27,910 --> 01:39:24,719 was going to ask he didn't break in all 2607 01:39:30,390 --> 01:39:29,030 okay 2608 01:39:32,470 --> 01:39:30,400 um 2609 01:39:34,390 --> 01:39:32,480 the the weight of this material you 2610 01:39:36,390 --> 01:39:34,400 described as light 2611 01:39:38,229 --> 01:39:36,400 would you would you say that it was 2612 01:39:42,149 --> 01:39:38,239 unusually light lighter than you would 2613 01:39:44,149 --> 01:39:42,159 expect or heavier or anything anything 2614 01:39:46,149 --> 01:39:44,159 at all unusual about its weight well 2615 01:39:48,709 --> 01:39:46,159 feathers 2616 01:39:49,430 --> 01:39:48,719 very very very light in other words you 2617 01:39:51,030 --> 01:39:49,440 could 2618 01:39:52,310 --> 01:39:51,040 take a piece and they wouldn't just fall 2619 01:39:54,790 --> 01:39:52,320 to the floor 2620 01:39:56,550 --> 01:39:54,800 drift down 2621 01:39:58,950 --> 01:39:56,560 no that's very interesting and uh did 2622 01:40:01,430 --> 01:39:58,960 you actually see that i 2623 01:40:02,709 --> 01:40:01,440 no i did not but this is what you know i 2624 01:40:06,149 --> 01:40:02,719 would have thought it would be like you 2625 01:40:11,590 --> 01:40:09,430 why is the fabric interesting the uh 2626 01:40:14,149 --> 01:40:11,600 what you described is a almost plastic 2627 01:40:15,830 --> 01:40:14,159 or bake light like material tell me a 2628 01:40:19,350 --> 01:40:15,840 little more about that 2629 01:40:22,870 --> 01:40:19,360 well it's a black brown in color 2630 01:40:25,109 --> 01:40:22,880 again irregular pieces 2631 01:40:27,189 --> 01:40:25,119 about a 16th of an inch maybe a little 2632 01:40:29,109 --> 01:40:27,199 bit greater in thickness 2633 01:40:30,470 --> 01:40:29,119 and brittle 2634 01:40:32,310 --> 01:40:30,480 at least i suspect it was brittle 2635 01:40:35,270 --> 01:40:32,320 because it shattered 2636 01:40:38,950 --> 01:40:37,030 i want to make sure i understand you you 2637 01:40:41,030 --> 01:40:38,960 didn't actually see it shattered 2638 01:40:42,310 --> 01:40:41,040 but it appeared to have been shattered 2639 01:40:44,470 --> 01:40:42,320 yeah i didn't try to 2640 01:40:48,550 --> 01:40:44,480 bend or test any of these things i just 2641 01:40:53,189 --> 01:40:50,550 anything else unusual what about the 2642 01:40:54,149 --> 01:40:53,199 weight of this material 2643 01:40:55,669 --> 01:40:54,159 classic 2644 01:40:57,990 --> 01:40:55,679 very light also 2645 01:41:01,590 --> 01:40:58,000 you know it's kind of hard to i don't 2646 01:41:06,470 --> 01:41:03,109 anything else 2647 01:41:08,310 --> 01:41:06,480 worthy of comment about this material 2648 01:41:11,669 --> 01:41:08,320 would you recall 2649 01:41:13,030 --> 01:41:11,679 basically just the description the color 2650 01:41:15,590 --> 01:41:13,040 shatter type 2651 01:41:17,189 --> 01:41:15,600 bakelite butchering like that 2652 01:41:20,070 --> 01:41:17,199 and how about what you describe as 2653 01:41:22,070 --> 01:41:20,080 i-beams what were those like 2654 01:41:23,430 --> 01:41:22,080 well they were 2655 01:41:25,510 --> 01:41:23,440 again looked like the same type of 2656 01:41:26,950 --> 01:41:25,520 material that the foil-like materials 2657 01:41:29,669 --> 01:41:26,960 made up 2658 01:41:32,790 --> 01:41:31,669 dull gray 2659 01:41:35,030 --> 01:41:32,800 aluminum 2660 01:41:36,870 --> 01:41:35,040 except very light again 2661 01:41:38,070 --> 01:41:36,880 he's not trying to bend it or stress it 2662 01:41:40,149 --> 01:41:38,080 in any way 2663 01:41:43,109 --> 01:41:40,159 although the 2664 01:41:46,149 --> 01:41:43,119 piece i remember looking at was about 2665 01:41:47,109 --> 01:41:46,159 12 to 18 inches in length both ends i 2666 01:41:49,189 --> 01:41:47,119 think were 2667 01:41:50,709 --> 01:41:49,199 shattered or broken off wasn't a clean 2668 01:41:51,990 --> 01:41:50,719 cut 2669 01:41:53,990 --> 01:41:52,000 and 2670 01:41:55,669 --> 01:41:54,000 the material thickness 2671 01:41:56,709 --> 01:41:55,679 appeared to be about a sixteenth of an 2672 01:41:57,830 --> 01:41:56,719 inch 2673 01:42:00,470 --> 01:41:57,840 thickness 2674 01:42:01,750 --> 01:42:00,480 and what color was it again it's a dull 2675 01:42:03,430 --> 01:42:01,760 gray uh 2676 01:42:04,950 --> 01:42:03,440 like a flat balloon 2677 01:42:06,149 --> 01:42:04,960 finish i guess i mean a good way to 2678 01:42:08,870 --> 01:42:06,159 describe that 2679 01:42:09,669 --> 01:42:08,880 metallic metallic definitely metallic 2680 01:42:11,350 --> 01:42:09,679 okay 2681 01:42:13,430 --> 01:42:11,360 anything else unusual about this 2682 01:42:15,270 --> 01:42:13,440 particular piece of material well the 2683 01:42:17,830 --> 01:42:15,280 most unusual part of this whole thing 2684 01:42:20,070 --> 01:42:17,840 was what was on the i-beam on the inner 2685 01:42:23,270 --> 01:42:20,080 surface of an i-beam 2686 01:42:24,790 --> 01:42:23,280 because as you look at it head-on 2687 01:42:26,790 --> 01:42:24,800 there appeared to be 2688 01:42:29,669 --> 01:42:26,800 a type of writing 2689 01:42:30,870 --> 01:42:29,679 in the in the mainframe itself 2690 01:42:37,030 --> 01:42:30,880 uh 2691 01:42:39,990 --> 01:42:37,040 definitely a purplish violet hue 2692 01:42:42,229 --> 01:42:40,000 uh it did have an embossed appearance 2693 01:42:43,830 --> 01:42:42,239 because you could if i recall you can 2694 01:42:45,890 --> 01:42:43,840 rub your finger along and you tell it it 2695 01:42:47,590 --> 01:42:45,900 had texture 2696 01:42:49,910 --> 01:42:47,600 [Music] 2697 01:42:51,590 --> 01:42:49,920 i don't recall anything any lines or 2698 01:42:53,590 --> 01:42:51,600 letters of any kind but it was more like 2699 01:42:57,669 --> 01:42:53,600 geometric shapes 2700 01:43:01,669 --> 01:43:00,470 well it's hard to describe it 2701 01:43:03,109 --> 01:43:01,679 it was a 2702 01:43:08,390 --> 01:43:03,119 curve 2703 01:43:11,030 --> 01:43:08,400 been some triangles and circles but uh 2704 01:43:12,790 --> 01:43:11,040 it's solid 2705 01:43:16,390 --> 01:43:12,800 is it possible you might have mistaken 2706 01:43:19,910 --> 01:43:16,400 it for russian japanese any other 2707 01:43:25,109 --> 01:43:22,550 anything like hieroglyphics well 2708 01:43:27,910 --> 01:43:25,119 in my my first impression was 2709 01:43:29,189 --> 01:43:27,920 this is egyptian hieroglyphics but uh i 2710 01:43:30,629 --> 01:43:29,199 knew enough at that time to know that it 2711 01:43:36,390 --> 01:43:30,639 wasn't because narcoleptics usually have 2712 01:43:41,669 --> 01:43:39,270 and the the lettering or we can call it 2713 01:43:43,590 --> 01:43:41,679 lettering of these symbols individual 2714 01:43:45,430 --> 01:43:43,600 circles 2715 01:43:47,830 --> 01:43:45,440 okay uh were 2716 01:43:49,189 --> 01:43:47,840 were they were in color 2717 01:43:52,629 --> 01:43:49,199 yeah yes 2718 01:43:54,470 --> 01:43:52,639 but they were on a surface that was what 2719 01:43:56,629 --> 01:43:54,480 well the surface was the same color as 2720 01:43:59,030 --> 01:43:56,639 the breast mining 2721 01:44:00,709 --> 01:43:59,040 dull metallic gray 2722 01:44:02,550 --> 01:44:00,719 so it was just the symbols that were in 2723 01:44:04,629 --> 01:44:02,560 a kind of purple pink that's right that 2724 01:44:06,470 --> 01:44:04,639 was a color that caught your eye 2725 01:44:10,310 --> 01:44:06,480 here in all this massive 2726 01:44:15,990 --> 01:44:13,910 pieces there here's a flash of color 2727 01:44:18,229 --> 01:44:16,000 what do you recall your father saying 2728 01:44:21,510 --> 01:44:18,239 that night about how he came into 2729 01:44:23,510 --> 01:44:21,520 possession of this material 2730 01:44:25,430 --> 01:44:23,520 i don't recall a whole lot of the 2731 01:44:27,109 --> 01:44:25,440 mechanics or the logistics involved i do 2732 01:44:29,350 --> 01:44:27,119 know you've been 2733 01:44:31,830 --> 01:44:29,360 gone for quite a while i'm not sure 2734 01:44:33,990 --> 01:44:31,840 exactly how long he'd been going but 2735 01:44:35,669 --> 01:44:34,000 he 2736 01:44:38,070 --> 01:44:35,679 i remember saying something about this 2737 01:44:41,510 --> 01:44:38,080 came from christ site or 2738 01:44:44,470 --> 01:44:41,520 from some village ranch or northwest 2739 01:44:47,910 --> 01:44:46,070 and 2740 01:44:49,830 --> 01:44:47,920 you said at the outset that he appeared 2741 01:44:52,470 --> 01:44:49,840 to be excited 2742 01:44:53,270 --> 01:44:52,480 yeah that's really good 2743 01:44:57,030 --> 01:44:53,280 why 2744 01:45:00,709 --> 01:44:57,040 about this 2745 01:45:02,070 --> 01:45:00,719 because he felt something very unusual 2746 01:45:04,709 --> 01:45:02,080 he felt it was probably something we've 2747 01:45:06,390 --> 01:45:04,719 never seen before would ever see again 2748 01:45:07,669 --> 01:45:06,400 and again i want to 2749 01:45:09,189 --> 01:45:07,679 say that 2750 01:45:12,310 --> 01:45:09,199 he said the words flying sauce but i 2751 01:45:13,830 --> 01:45:12,320 cannot be sure about that i wouldn't i 2752 01:45:15,350 --> 01:45:13,840 almost possibly did but i can't recall 2753 01:45:17,189 --> 01:45:15,360 verbatim 2754 01:45:19,669 --> 01:45:17,199 when you said that your father had been 2755 01:45:21,990 --> 01:45:19,679 gone for some time are you do you mean 2756 01:45:24,310 --> 01:45:22,000 hours or days or 2757 01:45:26,070 --> 01:45:24,320 well something again yeah my memory is 2758 01:45:27,990 --> 01:45:26,080 kind of easy about how long he was going 2759 01:45:30,390 --> 01:45:28,000 i know he was good 2760 01:45:32,470 --> 01:45:30,400 maybe more than 12 hours maybe 2761 01:45:33,750 --> 01:45:32,480 a day or so 2762 01:45:36,070 --> 01:45:33,760 and how long 2763 01:45:39,109 --> 01:45:36,080 was he at your home that night with the 2764 01:45:41,430 --> 01:45:39,119 material on the floor the total 2765 01:45:44,310 --> 01:45:41,440 time there was about 15 or 20 minutes 2766 01:45:46,629 --> 01:45:44,320 and what happened after that loaded up 2767 01:45:48,709 --> 01:45:46,639 back in the car and took off 2768 01:45:50,310 --> 01:45:48,719 uh do you know where he went well he was 2769 01:45:52,229 --> 01:45:50,320 going back to the base 2770 01:45:54,470 --> 01:45:52,239 that was my understanding when did you 2771 01:45:55,910 --> 01:45:54,480 next see him do you recall i think it 2772 01:45:57,830 --> 01:45:55,920 was the next day although i'm not 2773 01:46:00,310 --> 01:45:57,840 actually sure about that even 2774 01:46:02,550 --> 01:46:00,320 and did you have any conversation with 2775 01:46:04,470 --> 01:46:02,560 him about what it transpired since you 2776 01:46:07,990 --> 01:46:04,480 had seen him last 2777 01:46:08,000 --> 01:46:10,830 recall those 2778 01:46:15,109 --> 01:46:13,430 conversations i don't know that we had 2779 01:46:17,189 --> 01:46:15,119 talked about it very much afterwards 2780 01:46:18,629 --> 01:46:17,199 that uh the initial excitement had worn 2781 01:46:20,310 --> 01:46:18,639 off and then 2782 01:46:26,470 --> 01:46:20,320 then the whole deal kind of 2783 01:46:29,750 --> 01:46:27,750 there's still a feeling like there's 2784 01:46:34,310 --> 01:46:29,760 something very unusual about this it was 2785 01:46:38,830 --> 01:46:36,790 something in commonplace like they would 2786 01:46:41,109 --> 01:46:38,840 like to say whether or 2787 01:46:43,510 --> 01:46:41,119 not father didn't think it was a weather 2788 01:46:46,550 --> 01:46:43,520 balloon or a radar target 2789 01:46:48,950 --> 01:46:46,560 never did do you think it was 2790 01:46:50,709 --> 01:46:48,960 well even at that young age i 2791 01:46:51,669 --> 01:46:50,719 had kind of an interest in electronics 2792 01:46:54,629 --> 01:46:51,679 and 2793 01:46:56,550 --> 01:46:54,639 the blooms 2794 01:46:58,070 --> 01:46:56,560 and not seeing pictures of radar targets 2795 01:46:59,669 --> 01:46:58,080 that was not important 2796 01:47:01,350 --> 01:46:59,679 was it like anything you've ever seen 2797 01:47:03,590 --> 01:47:01,360 before 2798 01:47:05,510 --> 01:47:03,600 uh not really 2799 01:47:09,990 --> 01:47:05,520 one thing obsessed with mark was those 2800 01:47:15,830 --> 01:47:13,350 did your father ever speculate about 2801 01:47:18,070 --> 01:47:15,840 what it was where it came from 2802 01:47:19,430 --> 01:47:18,080 we would talk about it periodically over 2803 01:47:22,390 --> 01:47:19,440 the next 2804 01:47:25,189 --> 01:47:22,400 several years and we'd always thought 2805 01:47:27,109 --> 01:47:25,199 that it was something very 2806 01:47:29,189 --> 01:47:27,119 unusual it would yeah i think initially 2807 01:47:31,510 --> 01:47:29,199 they might have thought it was even a 2808 01:47:35,590 --> 01:47:31,520 russian weapon or some headquarters 2809 01:47:37,109 --> 01:47:35,600 for the reason for that cover-up for the 2810 01:47:38,629 --> 01:47:37,119 varying the story but 2811 01:47:41,350 --> 01:47:38,639 later uh 2812 01:47:43,270 --> 01:47:41,360 it was determined it was not a russian 2813 01:47:45,990 --> 01:47:43,280 so that left one of the possibilities 2814 01:47:47,189 --> 01:47:46,000 something from out of our atmosphere 2815 01:47:49,189 --> 01:47:47,199 was your father in the habit of 2816 01:47:50,390 --> 01:47:49,199 discussing his work he was in 2817 01:47:52,070 --> 01:47:50,400 intelligence 2818 01:47:56,550 --> 01:47:52,080 no 2819 01:48:00,390 --> 01:47:58,149 so i guess it wouldn't be real unusual 2820 01:48:03,669 --> 01:48:00,400 for him to be rather 2821 01:48:06,390 --> 01:48:05,510 he was not given to 2822 01:48:09,510 --> 01:48:06,400 you know 2823 01:48:14,550 --> 01:48:12,790 but he obviously did eventually talk 2824 01:48:15,990 --> 01:48:14,560 as time went on you know 2825 01:48:17,750 --> 01:48:16,000 the seed had been planted in the back of 2826 01:48:19,590 --> 01:48:17,760 our minds and there's something very 2827 01:48:21,910 --> 01:48:19,600 unusual about this and from time to time 2828 01:48:23,830 --> 01:48:21,920 you'd read about some ufo signing 2829 01:48:26,070 --> 01:48:23,840 in the paper and it would trigger 2830 01:48:28,470 --> 01:48:26,080 a little conversation about what this 2831 01:48:33,430 --> 01:48:30,950 knowing your father is dead 2832 01:48:35,270 --> 01:48:33,440 what do you think motivated him to 2833 01:48:37,830 --> 01:48:35,280 go public with this 2834 01:48:40,229 --> 01:48:37,840 account as as he did 2835 01:48:43,830 --> 01:48:40,239 well this didn't happen for years and he 2836 01:48:46,390 --> 01:48:43,840 was a radio amateur loved him radio 2837 01:48:48,629 --> 01:48:46,400 and i don't know the exact scenario but 2838 01:48:50,550 --> 01:48:48,639 i can picture that maybe 2839 01:48:52,950 --> 01:48:50,560 they're talking on him radios he was 2840 01:48:54,790 --> 01:48:52,960 talking about him radio with somebody 2841 01:48:56,550 --> 01:48:54,800 and maybe the discussion came up about a 2842 01:48:58,950 --> 01:48:56,560 recent ufo sighting 2843 01:49:00,950 --> 01:48:58,960 and he would say oh by the way i 2844 01:49:03,350 --> 01:49:00,960 was involved with one and i could 2845 01:49:05,510 --> 01:49:03,360 picture that as being the mechanism that 2846 01:49:07,830 --> 01:49:05,520 this thing came out 2847 01:49:10,149 --> 01:49:07,840 i don't know that to be sure but that's 2848 01:49:11,189 --> 01:49:10,159 i think the most likely way 2849 01:49:12,629 --> 01:49:11,199 and when 2850 01:49:14,629 --> 01:49:12,639 journalists 2851 01:49:16,709 --> 01:49:14,639 and 2852 01:49:19,830 --> 01:49:16,719 people came to 2853 01:49:22,070 --> 01:49:19,840 ask him to be interviewed for this uh 2854 01:49:23,430 --> 01:49:22,080 he did he do you think he had any reluct 2855 01:49:26,390 --> 01:49:23,440 do you know if he had any reluctance 2856 01:49:28,629 --> 01:49:26,400 about speaking more publicly to a wider 2857 01:49:31,510 --> 01:49:28,639 audience about this well this is 2858 01:49:33,030 --> 01:49:31,520 many years later and it lost track of 2859 01:49:35,030 --> 01:49:33,040 touch with the 2860 01:49:36,950 --> 01:49:35,040 air force community and 2861 01:49:38,629 --> 01:49:36,960 i think at that time the uniqueness had 2862 01:49:44,709 --> 01:49:38,639 worn off of it where 2863 01:49:48,229 --> 01:49:46,550 uh 2864 01:49:49,830 --> 01:49:48,239 kevin i don't have any more questions 2865 01:49:51,430 --> 01:49:49,840 anything that we've failed to cover 2866 01:49:53,910 --> 01:49:51,440 that's important 2867 01:49:54,830 --> 01:49:53,920 when your dad came home 2868 01:49:57,669 --> 01:49:54,840 did he 2869 01:49:59,189 --> 01:49:57,679 ever suggest 2870 01:50:01,189 --> 01:49:59,199

he was in high 2893 01:50:56,149 --> 01:50:54,159 school before you really ever discussed 2894 01:50:57,350 --> 01:50:56,159 it again with your dad 2895 01:50:58,629 --> 01:50:57,360 did you ever

misidentification of 2907 01:51:23,430 --> 01:51:20,480 things but i do know one that was not 2908 01:51:24,390 --> 01:51:23,440 whole tournaments identification 2909 01:51:26,310 --> 01:51:24,400 was it 2910 01:51:28,310 --> 01:51:26,320 the feeling of you your father your 2911 01:51:30,310 --> 01:51:28,320 mother that it was extraterrestrial in 2912 01:51:32,149 --> 01:51:30,320 origin yes i 2913 01:51:33,669 --> 01:51:32,159 yeah we we felt it was all a very unique 2914 01:51:34,950 --> 01:51:33,679 experience 2915 01:51:36,709 --> 01:51:34,960 you know we just have to be in the right 2916 01:51:38,870 --> 01:51:36,719 place at the right time to 2917 01:51:39,990 --> 01:51:38,880 see this 2918 01:51:42,470 --> 01:51:40,000 but was your feeling that it was 2919 01:51:45,030 --> 01:51:42,480 actually trustworthy yes 2920 01:51:47,589 --> 01:51:45,040 actually my own personal thoughts was 2921 01:51:49,910 --> 01:51:47,599 the act we started sending satellites 2922 01:51:51,109 --> 01:51:49,920 around you know the russians in 1957 2923 01:51:53,189 --> 01:51:51,119 with the 2924 01:51:55,669 --> 01:51:53,199 sputnik i felt that maybe this was a 2925 01:51:56,790 --> 01:51:55,679 probe that happened to land on our 2926 01:52:00,950 --> 01:51:56,800 planet 2927 01:52:06,310 --> 01:52:04,550 when you had the debris in the kitchen 2928 01:52:11,669 --> 01:52:06,320 was there any odor associated with any 2929 01:52:16,070 --> 01:52:13,910 did the material feel cold to the touch 2930 01:52:18,070 --> 01:52:16,080 at all 2931 01:52:19,510 --> 01:52:18,080 well it was metallic you know it was a 2932 01:52:20,950 --> 01:52:19,520 hot night 2933 01:52:22,709 --> 01:52:20,960 so it didn't 2934 01:52:23,990 --> 01:52:22,719 you know it sure was the ambient air 2935 01:52:26,790 --> 01:52:24,000 temperature whatever that was at that 2936 01:52:31,109 --> 01:52:29,109 is there any possibility 2937 01:52:32,550 --> 01:52:31,119 that your dad 2938 01:52:35,830 --> 01:52:32,560 might have slipped a piece out of the 2939 01:52:37,430 --> 01:52:35,840 box to keep fred's souvenir 2940 01:52:42,070 --> 01:52:37,440 he'd never think of doing

01:53:18,149 --> 01:53:16,719 the fact they had photographs but he'd 2954 01:53:20,229 --> 01:53:18,159 get more information about being there 2955 01:53:22,229 --> 01:53:20,239 on the on the site

2959 01:53:30,149 --> 01:53:28,719 wasn't knowing how to man 50 calibers 2960 01:53:32,709 --> 01:53:30,159 for some reason 2961 01:53:34,709 --> 01:53:32,719 i knew he did that 2962 01:53:36,550 --> 01:53:34,719 he described uh sitting on a box of an 2963 01:53:38,310 --> 01:53:36,560 empty box of ammo and having some 2964 01:53:44,790 --> 01:53:38,320 slugs go between his legs through the 2965 01:53:48,870 --> 01:53:46,709 another time they were they were shot 2966 01:53:50,310 --> 01:53:48,880 down they had two of the engines four 2967 01:53:52,149 --> 01:53:50,320 engines shot out 2968

military career he was basically 2974 01:54:03,990 --> 01:54:02,960 an intelligence mostly for his 2975 01:54:05,669 --> 01:54:04,000 intelligence 2976 01:54:07,270 --> 01:54:05,679 his military career and he would get 2977 01:54:08,950 --> 01:54:07,280 stuck to him as a 2978 01:54:11,270 --> 01:54:08,960 as a pilot to as much as he could you 2979 01:54:12,790 --> 01:54:11,280 know he's not

first time you remember him 3001 01:55:11,109 --> 01:55:09,280 really talking about this you were in 3002 01:55:12,310 --> 01:55:11,119 high school said something while you 3003 01:55:14,709 --> 01:55:12,320 were in high school 3004 01:55:16,229 --> 01:55:14,719 well about that time frame you know uh 3005 01:55:18,149 --> 01:55:16,239 because that 3006 01:55:19,750 --> 01:55:18,159 at that arrow you know flying saucers 3007 01:55:22,390 --> 01:55:19,760 we're in the rage you know you read 3008 01:55:24,390 --> 01:55:22,400 about these reports and the papers and 3009 01:55:26,550 --> 01:55:24,400 the sensational magazines and things 3010 01:55:29,430 --> 01:55:26,560 like that which tend to degrade the 3011 01:55:33,430 --> 01:55:31,669 yeah so as if we need that that sort of 3012 01:55:34,790 --> 01:55:33,440 thing but he was 3013 01:55:36,310 --> 01:55:34,800 for the most part pretty close-looked 3014 01:55:38,790 --> 01:55:36,320 about about this even after he was out 3015 01:55:41,589 --> 01:55:38,800 of the military right it wasn't a 3016 01:55:43,510 --> 01:55:41,599 really daily topic and there was no 3017 01:55:45,270 --> 01:55:43,520 military pension for him to protect or 3018 01:55:46,709 --> 01:55:45,280 no threat of 3019 01:55:48,390 --> 01:55:46,719 the only thing he had for the military 3020 01:55:49,589 --> 01:55:48,400 was uh 3021 01:55:51,589 --> 01:55:49,599 he fell off the roof when he was 3022 01:55:53,030 --> 01:55:51,599 repairing his ham radio antenna in 3023 01:55:55,030 --> 01:55:53,040 roswell 3024 01:55:57,350 --> 01:55:55,040 and he

you know which is 3028 01:56:07,030 --> 01:56:04,560 a very minor disability but now 3029 01:56:10,070 --> 01:56:07,040 that was the only thing 3030 01:56:13,430 --> 01:56:12,149 there was no threat they could hold over 3031 01:56:17,589 --> 01:56:13,440 that if you talked about this we're 3032 01:56:21,669 --> 01:56:19,270 do you remember how long how much time 3033 01:56:23,669 --> 01:56:21,679

information 3263 02:05:04,390 --> 02:05:02,480 at that time 3264 02:05:07,030 --> 02:05:04,400 i was raising a family 3265 02:05:08,149 --> 02:05:07,040 and busy in the military and teen things 3266 02:05:09,669 --> 02:05:08,159 to do 3267 02:05:12,629 --> 02:05:09,679 and i could have got a lot more 3268 02:05:14,310 --> 02:05:12,639 information from him i'm sure 3269 02:05:15,910 --> 02:05:14,320 but 3270 02:05:16,950 --> 02:05:15,920 it was one of those things that you 3271 02:05:19,430 --> 02:05:16,960 think back 3272 02:05:21,430 --> 02:05:19,440 we hadn't had anybody in outer space we 3273 02:05:23,430 --> 02:05:21,440 hadn't had anybody in the moon 3274 02:05:25,189 --> 02:05:23,440 if it had been 3275 02:05:27,030 --> 02:05:25,199 if we hadn't progressed this sort of 3276 02:05:27,910 --> 02:05:27,040 thing i might have been a little bit 3277 02:05:30,470 --> 02:05:27,920 more 3278 02:05:32,629 --> 02:05:30,480 interested in details 3279 02:05:35,189 --> 02:05:32,639 when he when he related this account 3280 02:05:37,270 --> 02:05:35,199 what did you think about the story i 3281 02:05:39,430 --> 02:05:37,280 know it's about knowing his reliability 3282 02:05:41,030 --> 02:05:39,440 had no doubts but it was real 3283 02:05:44,390 --> 02:05:41,040 and of course he said that he was born 3284 02:05:45,270 --> 02:05:44,400 to secrecy i was still in the air force 3285 02:05:46,830 --> 02:05:45,280 so 3286 02:05:50,229 --> 02:05:46,840 i didn't go around blobbing this to 3287 02:05:51,990 --> 02:05:50,239 everybody matter of fact 3288 02:05:53,189 --> 02:05:52,000 i had no reason to really bring it up to 3289 02:05:55,350 --> 02:05:53,199 anybody 3290 02:05:57,189 --> 02:05:55,360 the first time was brought up is when 3291 02:05:59,350 --> 02:05:57,199 when the doctor 3292 02:06:03,030 --> 02:05:59,360 friedenberg was in bemidji 3293 02:06:04,709 --> 02:06:03,040 he gave a lecture on ufos had gone 3294 02:06:07,510 --> 02:06:04,719 and i listened to this 3295 02:06:10,870 --> 02:06:09,350 i wonder if i should relate this to him 3296 02:06:12,790 --> 02:06:10,880 they're doing the study and stuff might 3297 02:06:14,229 --> 02:06:12,800 be important to his studies 3298 02:06:16,229 --> 02:06:14,239 so as a matter of fact i thought about 3299 02:06:18,709 --> 02:06:16,239 it and then i left the out of turn and 3300 02:06:20,790 --> 02:06:18,719 it was cold out it was late 3301 02:06:23,990 --> 02:06:20,800 i walked about a half a box from there 3302 02:06:25,910 --> 02:06:24,000 without saying anything i thought well 3303 02:06:27,350 --> 02:06:25,920 maybe it's a good policy to 3304 02:06:28,790 --> 02:06:27,360 come back and tell them 3305 02:06:31,109 --> 02:06:28,800 you know i didn't feel comfortable not 3306 02:06:32,310 --> 02:06:31,119 doing it so then i walked back and 3307 02:06:35,109 --> 02:06:32,320 talked to him 3308 02:06:36,709 --> 02:06:35,119 and a few days later this mr moore was 3309 02:06:38,790 --> 02:06:36,719 near and he came over to my house and 3310 02:06:40,229 --> 02:06:38,800 interviewed me about the details that i 3311 02:06:43,030 --> 02:06:40,239 had 3312 02:06:45,589 --> 02:06:43,040 have you experienced any repercussions 3313 02:06:47,589 --> 02:06:45,599 from having shared this none 3314 02:06:50,790 --> 02:06:47,599 i haven't had anybody harass me 3315 02:06:54,709 --> 02:06:52,709 mysteries i've had nothing but good 3316 02:06:56,629 --> 02:06:54,719 comments most people believe these 3317 02:06:59,589 --> 02:06:56,639 actually exist 3318 02:07:00,950 --> 02:06:59,599 and uh i don't really believe that i've 3319 02:07:02,550 --> 02:07:00,960 had one man 3320 02:07:04,470 --> 02:07:02,560 however they intentionally didn't give 3321 02:07:06,310 --> 02:07:04,480 your address but i had calls from every 3322 02:07:08,709 --> 02:07:06,320 plane every province and canada except 3323 02:07:10,069 --> 02:07:08,719 eastern ones from florida 3324 02:07:11,510 --> 02:07:10,079 texas 3325 02:07:14,629 --> 02:07:11,520 and the amount of people that seen this 3326 02:07:17,750 --> 02:07:15,910 so you don't have any regrets about 3327 02:07:18,550 --> 02:07:17,760 having divorces i have no regrets about 3328 02:07:19,910 --> 02:07:18,560 it 3329 02:07:21,990 --> 02:07:19,920 as a matter of fact 3330 02:07:23,830 --> 02:07:22,000 i could tell the same story a thousand 3331 02:07:24,790 --> 02:07:23,840 times without changing it 3332 02:07:27,109 --> 02:07:24,800 because 3333 02:07:29,350 --> 02:07:27,119 i know it to be actual facts 3334 02:07:31,589 --> 02:07:29,360 i'm not about to alter anything 3335 02:07:33,669 --> 02:07:31,599 and i wouldn't accept one penny or one 3336 02:07:35,830 --> 02:07:33,679 dime to make any statement 3337 02:07:37,910 --> 02:07:35,840 because that would ruin the validity of 3338 02:07:39,350 --> 02:07:37,920 what mr president in respect to him i 3339 02:07:41,750 --> 02:07:39,360 wouldn't do it 3340 02:07:43,189 --> 02:07:41,760 as a former military man 3341 02:07:44,149 --> 02:07:43,199 what what do you think our government 3342 02:07:47,189 --> 02:07:44,159 should do 3343 02:07:49,189 --> 02:07:47,199 now that this story is out 3344 02:07:51,990 --> 02:07:49,199 i can't see any reason why whatever 3345 02:07:53,830 --> 02:07:52,000 information he had was not released 3346 02:07:55,350 --> 02:07:53,840 i think any information for documents 3347 02:07:56,870 --> 02:07:55,360 should be released 3348 02:07:59,350 --> 02:07:56,880 because most of the public believes they 3349 02:08:01,430 --> 02:07:59,360 exist anyhow and i think the population 3350 02:08:02,470 --> 02:08:01,440 now is better prepared to accept this 3351 02:08:04,470 --> 02:08:02,480 thing 3352 02:08:06,790 --> 02:08:04,480 than they would have been in 1947 right 3353 02:08:09,990 --> 02:08:06,800 after world war ii but probably reasons 3354 02:08:13,669 --> 02:08:10,000 why they didn't want it released 3355 02:08:15,589 --> 02:08:13,679 i can't see any reason for that release 3356 02:08:17,750 --> 02:08:15,599 okay anything that we've 3357 02:08:19,189 --> 02:08:17,760 not covered that you want to 3358 02:08:20,310 --> 02:08:19,199 talk about 3359 02:08:22,470 --> 02:08:20,320 well 3360 02:08:23,750 --> 02:08:22,480 the only time that i had any occasion to 3361 02:08:26,790 --> 02:08:23,760 possibly see 3362 02:08:28,629 --> 02:08:26,800 a flying saucer in 1940 3363 02:08:31,669 --> 02:08:28,639 we'd move was with the 19th or the 3364 02:08:34,310 --> 02:08:31,679 seventh bomb group 11 bomb squad we'd 3365 02:08:36,870 --> 02:08:34,320 moved off the coast because the 3366 02:08:38,470 --> 02:08:36,880 problems with an eminent war so we move 3367 02:08:39,910 --> 02:08:38,480 into small lake city 3368 02:08:41,350 --> 02:08:39,920 and we're working out of the municipal 3369 02:08:43,350 --> 02:08:41,360 airport out there 3370 02:08:44,950 --> 02:08:43,360 and just about it was between 12 and 1 3371 02:08:47,350 --> 02:08:44,960 o'clock 3372 02:08:48,229 --> 02:08:47,360 there was a just like object that come 3373 02:08:49,830 --> 02:08:48,239 over 3374 02:08:51,830 --> 02:08:49,840 salt lake city had come from the east 3375 02:08:53,589 --> 02:08:51,840 over the wasatch mountains in the 3376 02:08:55,350 --> 02:08:53,599 daytime it looked like the moon does if 3377 02:08:57,030 --> 02:08:55,360 you see it in the daytime 3378 02:08:59,270 --> 02:08:57,040 and there was two pilots and i knew out 3379 02:09:00,629 --> 02:08:59,280 there i can't recall our names 3380 02:09:03,430 --> 02:09:00,639 and myself 3381 02:09:04,870 --> 02:09:03,440 and we run for b17 and we immediately 3382 02:09:07,270 --> 02:09:04,880 started didn't 3383 02:09:09,109 --> 02:09:07,280 uh run the prep projection in the rooms 3384 02:09:11,270 --> 02:09:09,119 taxi right out to the runway and took 3385 02:09:12,950 --> 02:09:11,280 off and we chased this 3386 02:09:15,270 --> 02:09:12,960 i mean there was no hope it was just 3387 02:09:17,270 --> 02:09:15,280 distances and it could not possibly been 3388 02:09:20,069 --> 02:09:17,280 another airplane or balloon because the 3389 02:09:21,669 --> 02:09:20,079 b17 was about as fast a thing as it was 3390 02:09:23,510 --> 02:09:21,679 in the market 3391 02:09:25,109 --> 02:09:23,520 it come over from the east right 3392 02:09:26,310 --> 02:09:25,119 directly over the 3393 02:09:28,709 --> 02:09:26,320 airfield 3394 02:09:31,510 --> 02:09:28,719 and then it went west and when we took 3395 02:09:33,990 --> 02:09:31,520 off then it just about went at a 3396 02:09:35,830 --> 02:09:34,000 oh a real steep angle going to the 3397 02:09:37,830 --> 02:09:35,840 northwest went up it kept getting 3398 02:09:40,069 --> 02:09:37,840 smaller and smaller until it was just 3399 02:09:41,750 --> 02:09:40,079 just like a little dot 3400 02:09:43,669 --> 02:09:41,760 nothing that i know of could possibly 3401 02:09:47,669 --> 02:09:43,679 climb that fast 3402 02:09:51,510 --> 02:09:47,679 this was one year 1940 3403 02:09:53,830 --> 02:09:51,520 and because one overseas in 1941 3404 02:09:55,109 --> 02:09:53,840 it was in hawaii when first december 3405 02:09:56,950 --> 02:09:55,119 1940 3406 02:09:59,589 --> 02:09:56,960 i was quite familiar with airplanes that 3407 02:10:01,830 --> 02:09:59,599 always had an interest in aviation and 3408 02:10:04,149 --> 02:10:01,840 that's i went into the airport 3409 02:10:06,229 --> 02:10:04,159 so i have an idea what they would do and 3410 02:10:10,709 --> 02:10:06,239 could recognize the difference between 3411 02:10:16,870 --> 02:10:12,470 thank you very much i appreciate all 3412 02:10:19,510 --> 02:10:16,880 your time well it works good but 3413 02:10:20,790 --> 02:10:19,520 it's basically what they were pretty 3414 02:10:22,310 --> 02:10:20,800 pretty 3415 02:10:25,270 --> 02:10:22,320 accurate in you know trying to 3416 02:10:27,189 --> 02:10:25,280 reconstruct and they did film about 3417 02:10:29,030 --> 02:10:27,199 20 30 40 minutes 3418 02:10:32,069 --> 02:10:29,040 but they only use a portion and they 3419 02:10:34,390 --> 02:10:32,079 reconstruct this other rest 3420 02:10:35,510 --> 02:10:34,400 did you 3421 02:10:36,870 --> 02:10:35,520 you were satisfied then with the 3422 02:10:38,149 --> 02:10:36,880 dramatization 3423 02:10:40,229 --> 02:10:38,159 part of it 3424 02:10:42,390 --> 02:10:40,239 pretty much but there was some details 3425 02:10:44,390 --> 02:10:42,400 that would have changed and of course it 3426 02:10:47,350 --> 02:10:44,400 was impossible for them to 3427 02:10:53,189 --> 02:10:47,360 know every detail if i had been on their 3428 02:10:53,199 --> 02:10:56,149 yeah wearing the path 3429 02:11:00,069 --> 02:10:58,470 well in another thing he had glasses 3430 02:11:02,629 --> 02:11:00,079 because of that when he opened his next 3431 02:11:04,790 --> 02:11:02,639 mountain the venom come up for his asses 3432 02:11:06,709 --> 02:11:04,800 that's how i vividly remember playing i 3433 02:11:08,390 --> 02:11:06,719 can picture in my mind the venom is 3434 02:11:11,189 --> 02:11:08,400 still streaming down his face on these 3435 02:11:12,390 --> 02:11:11,199 glasses they that the glass is muslim 3436 02:11:14,390 --> 02:11:12,400 you know we're just kind of a white 3437 02:11:17,589 --> 02:11:14,400 former generally 3438 02:11:19,589 --> 02:11:17,599 good thing he wore glasses i guess huh 3439 02:11:21,750 --> 02:11:19,599 but that

02:11:29,270 --> 02:11:27,280 type of individual that 3444 02:11:31,109 --> 02:11:29,280 didn't exaggerate on anything we did a 3445 02:11:33,189 --> 02:11:31,119 lot of things outdoors and i know

practiced as a dentist 3674 02:20:56,469 --> 02:20:55,030 from about 1952 3675 02:20:58,630 --> 02:20:56,479 after my 3676 02:20:59,910 --> 02:20:58,640 release from active duty after following 3677 02:21:03,270 --> 02:20:59,920 a korean 3678 02:21:05,270 --> 02:21:03,280 police action i think that's correctly 3679 02:21:06,950 --> 02:21:05,280 noted right 3680 02:21:08,309 --> 02:21:06,960 and 3681 02:21:09,490 --> 02:21:08,319 i met 3682 02:21:10,870 --> 02:21:09,500 pappy henderson 3683 02:21:14,309 --> 02:21:10,880 [Music] 3684 02:21:17,309 --> 02:21:14,319 in the early mid 60s the best of my 3685 02:21:20,150 --> 02:21:17,319 recollection in maybe 3686 02:21:21,750 --> 02:21:20,160 1962 or 63. 3687 02:21:24,469 --> 02:21:21,760 how did you happen to meet him or know 3688 02:21:27,910 --> 02:21:24,479 him well i was 3689 02:21:33,670 --> 02:21:27,920 introduced to him by a mutual friend 3690 02:21:37,830 --> 02:21:35,110 we were 3691 02:21:39,990 --> 02:21:37,840 of course one of my 3692 02:21:42,389 --> 02:21:40,000 other locations other than dentistry has 3693 02:21:44,150 --> 02:21:42,399 been a practice of 3694 02:21:45,670 --> 02:21:44,160 of studying 3695 02:21:47,750 --> 02:21:45,680 metallurgy 3696 02:21:50,790 --> 02:21:47,760 and 3697 02:21:52,870 --> 02:21:50,800 i think that's probably what got pappy 3698 02:21:56,150 --> 02:21:52,880 and i together 3699 02:21:58,389 --> 02:21:56,160 and as the years went along 3700 02:22:00,630 --> 02:21:58,399 two other 3701 02:22:01,670 --> 02:22:00,640 ventures i wound up actually joining one 3702 02:22:03,670 --> 02:22:01,680 of his 3703 02:22:05,830 --> 02:22:03,680 because it really proved to be 3704 02:22:11,270 --> 02:22:05,840 interesting and i described that fully 3705 02:22:13,110 --> 02:22:12,050 i don't know 3706 02:22:15,510 --> 02:22:13,120 [Music] 3707 02:22:17,830 --> 02:22:15,520 what else to say 3708 02:22:20,830 --> 02:22:17,840 we gained a great deal of respect for 3709 02:22:28,389 --> 02:22:24,469 and i trusted 3710 02:22:29,429 --> 02:22:28,399 his judgment as he did mine i guess 3711 02:22:31,510 --> 02:22:29,439 just 3712 02:22:32,630 --> 02:22:31,520 was a very nice relationship that we 3713 02:22:33,429 --> 02:22:32,640 developed 3714 02:22:35,190 --> 02:22:33,439 and 3715 02:22:37,110 --> 02:22:35,200 when did he tell you about something 3716 02:22:39,190 --> 02:22:37,120 that occurred that was very unusual in 3717 02:22:43,190 --> 02:22:39,200 1947 3718 02:22:45,590 --> 02:22:43,200 well it was as near as i am able to tell 3719 02:22:47,030 --> 02:22:45,600 it would have been and i think it might 3720 02:22:49,110 --> 02:22:47,040 have been the 3721 02:22:52,710 --> 02:22:49,120 perhaps the 30th 3722 02:22:55,510 --> 02:22:52,720 anniversary of that event 3723 02:22:58,230 --> 02:22:55,520 because it was right about that time 3724 02:23:01,110 --> 02:22:58,240 of this in the summer 3725 02:23:04,150 --> 02:23:01,120 of 1978 3726 02:23:06,870 --> 02:23:04,160 and what was it that he related to you 3727 02:23:09,110 --> 02:23:06,880 as to what it occurred well and he 3728 02:23:11,590 --> 02:23:09,120 of course we will understand we were in 3729 02:23:14,389 --> 02:23:11,600 a public place 3730 02:23:16,630 --> 02:23:14,399 where we met frequently 3731 02:23:19,950 --> 02:23:16,640 and 3732 02:23:25,670 --> 02:23:19,960 but we did speak in in quite 3733 02:23:32,630 --> 02:23:29,590 he told me about the roswell incident 3734 02:23:35,270 --> 02:23:32,640 when that incident 3735 02:23:38,070 --> 02:23:35,280 occurred why i happened to have been 3736 02:23:39,270 --> 02:23:38,080 in a period of inactive duty in my naval 3737 02:23:42,309 --> 02:23:39,280 service 3738 02:23:44,150 --> 02:23:42,319 and i was living in northern minnesota 3739 02:23:45,030 --> 02:23:44,160 and i i guess the 3740 02:23:51,750 --> 02:23:45,040 the 3741 02:23:53,429 --> 02:23:51,760 incident 3742 02:23:56,309 --> 02:23:53,439 that was casually mentioned in our 3743 02:23:58,870 --> 02:23:56,319 newspapers uh 3744 02:24:01,910 --> 02:23:58,880 perhaps as late as a month later who 3745 02:24:03,750 --> 02:24:01,920 knows but northern minnesotans weren't 3746 02:24:08,230 --> 02:24:03,760 too worried about what happened 3747 02:24:14,150 --> 02:24:10,070 so what what did kathy anderson tell you 3748 02:24:17,990 --> 02:24:14,160 happened but he said that he had unusual 3749 02:24:19,590 --> 02:24:18,000 job to perform while he's in his 3750 02:24:22,710 --> 02:24:19,600 air force 3751 02:24:30,110 --> 02:24:25,429 that he transported wreckage and the 3752 02:24:31,510 --> 02:24:30,120 bodies of the alien people to ohio 3753 02:24:34,550 --> 02:24:31,520 [Music] 3754 02:24:38,469 --> 02:24:34,560 it was that simple and jack was a man of 3755 02:24:42,469 --> 02:24:41,270 in our habit the way we 3756 02:24:44,870 --> 02:24:42,479 dealt and 3757 02:24:47,990 --> 02:24:44,880 talked with each other we really didn't 3758 02:24:52,150 --> 02:24:49,990 time 3759 02:24:53,510 --> 02:24:52,160 we said it and that's it there's nothing 3760 02:24:56,230 --> 02:24:53,520 more to it 3761 02:24:59,750 --> 02:24:56,240 did he describe any of the wreckage to 3762 02:25:07,510 --> 02:25:03,670 not really at that time it was just a 3763 02:25:10,870 --> 02:25:09,349 pile of 3764 02:25:12,790 --> 02:25:10,880 i guess space 3765 02:25:14,870 --> 02:25:12,800 wreckage 3766 02:25:16,550 --> 02:25:14,880 spacecraft garbage 3767 02:25:19,370 --> 02:25:16,560 and the 3768 02:25:20,630 --> 02:25:19,380 i guess some of the passengers thereon 3769 02:25:21,830 --> 02:25:20,640 [Music] 3770 02:25:27,830 --> 02:25:21,840 suffered 3771 02:25:32,630 --> 02:25:29,830 i really 3772 02:25:34,870 --> 02:25:32,640 was more or less privileged to just be 3773 02:25:37,910 --> 02:25:34,880 listening so i i 3774 02:25:41,030 --> 02:25:37,920 refrained from asking a lot of questions 3775 02:25:43,510 --> 02:25:41,040 but he did say that these people were 3776 02:25:45,110 --> 02:25:43,520 small 3777 02:25:46,710 --> 02:25:45,120 and that 3778 02:25:47,590 --> 02:25:46,720 there were quite a number of them he 3779 02:25:49,110 --> 02:25:47,600 never 3780 02:25:51,270 --> 02:25:49,120 described 3781 02:25:52,630 --> 02:25:51,280 the actual number to me 3782 02:25:53,670 --> 02:25:52,640 since i've 3783 02:25:56,309 --> 02:25:53,680 of course 3784 02:25:59,190 --> 02:25:56,319 been filled in somewhat 3785 02:26:01,750 --> 02:25:59,200 i'm still not sure that there were 3786 02:26:04,790 --> 02:26:01,760 what they even claimed now there may 3787 02:26:09,750 --> 02:26:06,870 did he describe their appearance any 3788 02:26:10,870 --> 02:26:09,760 further than saying they were small 3789 02:26:12,630 --> 02:26:10,880 not to me 3790 02:26:16,389 --> 02:26:12,640 uh 3791 02:26:18,710 --> 02:26:16,399 distasteful 3792 02:26:21,910 --> 02:26:18,720 i was pretty well tuned into 3793 02:26:24,710 --> 02:26:23,990 feelings you know 3794 02:26:27,270 --> 02:26:24,720 and 3795 02:26:30,870 --> 02:26:27,280 if something was bothering him 3796 02:26:32,230 --> 02:26:30,880 i'd be sort of aware of it 3797 02:26:40,230 --> 02:26:32,240 very 3798 02:26:44,950 --> 02:26:43,030 do you know what kind of craft he flew 3799 02:26:47,110 --> 02:26:44,960 to white patterson 3800 02:26:50,150 --> 02:26:47,120 well it's a navy man i wasn't too 3801 02:26:52,630 --> 02:26:50,160 familiar with what the army air corps 3802 02:26:54,309 --> 02:26:52,640 later air force 3803 02:26:56,389 --> 02:26:54,319 had 3804 02:26:57,670 --> 02:26:56,399 my experience with airplanes ended with 3805 02:26:59,270 --> 02:26:57,680 the 3806 02:27:01,870 --> 02:26:59,280 taylor 3807 02:27:03,750 --> 02:27:01,880 craft and pipers and 3808 02:27:07,030 --> 02:27:03,760 iraqis and 3809 02:27:10,790 --> 02:27:07,040 things like that pre-world war ii 3810 02:27:15,349 --> 02:27:13,270 the rest of the 3811 02:27:18,870 --> 02:27:15,359 lost but i it was one of the bees of 3812 02:27:22,710 --> 02:27:21,030 did he did he say what his takeoff point 3813 02:27:31,510 --> 02:27:22,720 was 3814 02:27:34,550 --> 02:27:31,520 going to write matters yep that's where 3815 02:27:36,230 --> 02:27:34,560 he did say and he said that the remains 3816 02:27:38,150 --> 02:27:36,240 were there 3817 02:27:43,030 --> 02:27:38,160 and 3818 02:27:48,469 --> 02:27:46,150 which would lead me to believe that uh 3819 02:27:51,429 --> 02:27:48,479 that being the case that autopsy work 3820 02:27:53,190 --> 02:27:51,439 was being planned 3821 02:27:55,110 --> 02:27:53,200 and would have undoubtedly been 3822 02:27:57,830 --> 02:27:55,120 performed 3823 02:27:59,990 --> 02:27:57,840 did he relate any information following 3824 02:28:02,870 --> 02:28:00,000 this flight that would shed some light 3825 02:28:03,910 --> 02:28:02,880 on what the wreckage or the bodies were 3826 02:28:08,389 --> 02:28:03,920 all about 3827 02:28:10,950 --> 02:28:08,399 no uh it was perhaps uh a year later 3828 02:28:13,990 --> 02:28:10,960 we were meeting again under 3829 02:28:17,190 --> 02:28:14,000 about same circumstances 3830 02:28:19,510 --> 02:28:17,200 we decided to have a game of pool and 3831 02:28:21,830 --> 02:28:19,520 and when we had a little break in our 3832 02:28:24,389 --> 02:28:21,840 game why uh he 3833 02:28:27,910 --> 02:28:24,399 produced this piece of metal for me to 3834 02:28:29,590 --> 02:28:27,920 look at he said what do what do i think 3835 02:28:31,830 --> 02:28:29,600 of it 3836 02:28:33,429 --> 02:28:31,840 i said well it's 3837 02:28:35,990 --> 02:28:33,439 it's different 3838 02:28:37,510 --> 02:28:36,000 and i felt it and it did feel it and i 3839 02:28:40,710 --> 02:28:37,520 studied it some 3840 02:28:43,270 --> 02:28:40,720 i was able to determine that its 3841 02:28:45,190 --> 02:28:43,280 metal structure was 3842 02:28:47,670 --> 02:28:45,200 different than alloys like we have in 3843 02:28:49,990 --> 02:28:47,680 our aircraft for instance 3844 02:28:52,070 --> 02:28:50,000 and of course he did 3845 02:28:55,429 --> 02:28:52,080 preface his 3846 02:28:58,230 --> 02:28:55,439 question by stating this was from 3847 02:29:00,389 --> 02:28:58,240 this craft 3848 02:29:03,990 --> 02:29:00,399 apparently uh 3849 02:29:08,150 --> 02:29:06,550 appropriation that he acquired this you 3850 02:29:12,550 --> 02:29:08,160 know 3851 02:29:17,110 --> 02:29:14,070 at any rate uh 3852 02:29:21,030 --> 02:29:17,120 i i gave it a good thorough 3853 02:29:23,910 --> 02:29:21,040 looking at and decided that 3854 02:29:27,429 --> 02:29:23,920 it was uh 3855 02:29:33,670 --> 02:29:31,670 we are not used to or we have none 3856 02:29:38,230 --> 02:29:33,680 we don't think we do 3857 02:29:41,429 --> 02:29:38,240 there is a possibility we may be able to 3858 02:29:43,590 --> 02:29:41,439 come up with something like it 3859 02:29:45,830 --> 02:29:43,600 what do you think 3860 02:29:47,429 --> 02:29:45,840 roundabout statement i understand how 3861 02:29:49,990 --> 02:29:47,439 about describing it for me what did it 3862 02:29:53,270 --> 02:29:50,000 look like feel like well it was a 3863 02:29:55,190 --> 02:29:53,280 lustrous uh gray lustrous metal that 3864 02:29:56,469 --> 02:29:55,200 resembled aluminum 3865 02:29:58,550 --> 02:29:56,479 it was 3866 02:30:01,110 --> 02:29:58,560 lighter in weight 3867 02:30:02,950 --> 02:30:01,120 and much stiffer 3868 02:30:05,670 --> 02:30:02,960 if you're familiar with aluminum alloys 3869 02:30:08,230 --> 02:30:05,680 like stuff 37 3870 02:30:11,110 --> 02:30:08,240 it's a very stiff tough aluminum well 3871 02:30:13,110 --> 02:30:11,120 this was harder and stiffer than that 3872 02:30:15,110 --> 02:30:13,120 could you bend it no 3873 02:30:18,630 --> 02:30:15,120 not and i didn't want to try the edges 3874 02:30:23,670 --> 02:30:21,510 yeah and jack didn't want to 3875 02:30:25,830 --> 02:30:23,680 let it out of his 3876 02:30:28,710 --> 02:30:25,840 personal 3877 02:30:31,110 --> 02:30:28,720 ownership you know so 3878 02:30:32,950 --> 02:30:31,120 i couldn't take it into my lab and do 3879 02:30:34,630 --> 02:30:32,960 some testing on it which i really would 3880 02:30:39,590 --> 02:30:34,640 like to 3881 02:30:41,750 --> 02:30:39,600 what it would take to 3882 02:30:43,429 --> 02:30:41,760 machine it 3883 02:30:48,230 --> 02:30:43,439 in other words 3884 02:30:52,790 --> 02:30:50,150 that decision came out 3885 02:30:56,150 --> 02:30:52,800 as a result of our having made a 3886 02:30:58,070 --> 02:30:56,160 an alloy similar to it 3887 02:30:59,900 --> 02:30:58,080 which 3888 02:31:02,230 --> 02:30:59,910 up to this point no one's been able to 3889 02:31:04,550 --> 02:31:02,240 [Music] 3890 02:31:06,150 --> 02:31:04,560 scratch it so to speak but that's kind 3891 02:31:07,910 --> 02:31:06,160 of beside the point 3892 02:31:11,910 --> 02:31:07,920 but i think this is one other reason 3893 02:31:14,070 --> 02:31:11,920 that jack showed me this piece because 3894 02:31:17,590 --> 02:31:14,080 our association had gone on quite a few 3895 02:31:23,349 --> 02:31:20,389 and i didn't tell anybody about it 3896 02:31:28,389 --> 02:31:23,359 i think this is my first discussion 3897 02:31:31,190 --> 02:31:28,399 or the meeting as of this date publicly 3898 02:31:32,950 --> 02:31:31,200 so what did he do with this with this 3899 02:31:34,710 --> 02:31:32,960 piece of metal 3900 02:31:39,750 --> 02:31:34,720 he put it in his pocket and that's the 3901 02:31:43,750 --> 02:31:42,230 it's probably in his personal effects 3902 02:31:47,110 --> 02:31:43,760 somewhere 3903 02:31:48,309 --> 02:31:47,120 his wife states that 3904 02:31:50,790 --> 02:31:48,319 there's many 3905 02:31:53,030 --> 02:31:50,800 boxes of his things 3906 02:31:54,790 --> 02:31:53,040 that she has gone through or opened her 3907 02:31:57,910 --> 02:31:54,800 looked at some 3908 02:31:59,349 --> 02:31:57,920 could be could be that uh 3909 02:32:01,990 --> 02:31:59,359 that piece is there and i certainly 3910 02:32:05,270 --> 02:32:02,000 recognize it if it were 3911 02:32:08,469 --> 02:32:06,750 my feeling was that 3912 02:32:10,630 --> 02:32:08,479 [Music] 3913 02:32:12,550 --> 02:32:10,640 the metal itself was uh 3914 02:32:14,309 --> 02:32:12,560 not it didn't have a 3915 02:32:17,030 --> 02:32:14,319 crystal uh 3916 02:32:18,070 --> 02:32:17,040 lattice structure like uh alloys that we 3917 02:32:21,030 --> 02:32:18,080 make 3918 02:32:23,670 --> 02:32:21,040 it was more of an amorphous 3919 02:32:26,469 --> 02:32:23,680 form and the 3920 02:32:31,830 --> 02:32:26,479 fractures of the edges were more 3921 02:32:36,710 --> 02:32:34,309 as i recall a they had a 3922 02:32:39,270 --> 02:32:36,720 conchoidal appearance 3923 02:32:41,110 --> 02:32:39,280 like uh plate glass or 3924 02:32:43,510 --> 02:32:41,120 bottle glass for instance what they have 3925 02:32:45,030 --> 02:32:43,520 to break up 3926 02:32:46,870 --> 02:32:45,040 smooth 3927 02:32:48,790 --> 02:32:46,880 concave shapes 3928 02:32:50,710 --> 02:32:48,800 with real sharp edges 3929 02:32:55,270 --> 02:32:50,720 what's significant about that 3930 02:32:59,270 --> 02:32:57,030 which 3931 02:33:00,950 --> 02:32:59,280 may have a lot to do with 3932 02:33:03,670 --> 02:33:00,960 its physical 3933 02:33:05,429 --> 02:33:03,680 properties perhaps in flight 3934 02:33:08,870 --> 02:33:05,439 or resistance to 3935 02:33:13,030 --> 02:33:11,190 like entrance and exit 3936 02:33:16,270 --> 02:33:13,040 i know we're using 3937 02:33:17,990 --> 02:33:16,280 non-metallic materials like 3938 02:33:20,150 --> 02:33:18,000 osteotomic 3939 02:33:21,830 --> 02:33:20,160 to 3940 02:33:23,750 --> 02:33:21,840 coat our 3941 02:33:25,670 --> 02:33:23,760 our 3942 02:33:27,670 --> 02:33:25,680 shuttles with so on 3943 02:33:30,950 --> 02:33:27,680 to absorb the heat this apparently 3944 02:33:35,750 --> 02:33:34,230 what would your as with your background 3945 02:33:37,510 --> 02:33:35,760 your knowledge of metallurgy would you 3946 02:33:40,550 --> 02:33:37,520 think that this was something that 3947 02:33:42,389 --> 02:33:40,560 would have been easily manufactured 3948 02:33:43,990 --> 02:33:42,399 using 3949 02:33:47,590 --> 02:33:44,000 technology available 3950 02:33:49,270 --> 02:33:47,600 at the time you saw this material 3951 02:33:51,990 --> 02:33:49,280 well i don't i don't think i've been 3952 02:33:53,910 --> 02:33:52,000 easy for us to do no 3953 02:33:56,790 --> 02:33:53,920 uh 3954 02:33:59,990 --> 02:33:56,800 i think we're looking at pretty 3955 02:34:02,150 --> 02:34:00,000 high temperatures and smelling one thing 3956 02:34:04,550 --> 02:34:02,160 i think now 3957 02:34:05,990 --> 02:34:04,560 perhaps it would be easier 3958 02:34:08,469 --> 02:34:06,000 they have uh 3959 02:34:11,349 --> 02:34:08,479 refractories for instance have changed 3960 02:34:13,510 --> 02:34:11,359 in furnaces or smellers 3961 02:34:16,469 --> 02:34:13,520 they they are able to tolerate 3962 02:34:18,309 --> 02:34:16,479 better temperature higher temperatures 3963 02:34:20,790 --> 02:34:18,319 and 3964 02:34:21,720 --> 02:34:20,800 well then we have more let's say more 3965 02:34:22,870 --> 02:34:21,730 sophisticated 3966 02:34:25,429 --> 02:34:22,880 [Music] 3967 02:34:27,270 --> 02:34:25,439 temperature control things of that 3968 02:34:29,270 --> 02:34:27,280 nature that would be needed to perfect 3969 02:34:31,830 --> 02:34:29,280 an alloy like that 3970 02:34:35,110 --> 02:34:31,840 but i do think that it 3971 02:34:38,070 --> 02:34:35,120 it the metal and i i think that should 3972 02:34:40,230 --> 02:34:38,080 be used with the quotation marks 3973 02:34:42,469 --> 02:34:40,240 uh metal is 3974 02:34:44,550 --> 02:34:42,479 is a 3975 02:34:45,750 --> 02:34:44,560 salacious salacious 3976 02:34:47,670 --> 02:34:45,760 alloy 3977 02:34:49,750 --> 02:34:47,680 that's my own opinion 3978 02:34:52,230 --> 02:34:49,760 what does that mean 3979 02:34:55,190 --> 02:34:52,240 well that it 3980 02:34:57,590 --> 02:34:55,200 it's a compound 3981 02:35:00,710 --> 02:34:57,600 of silicon 3982 02:35:02,630 --> 02:35:00,720 with whatever the 3983 02:35:07,180 --> 02:35:02,640 the main 3984 02:35:09,190 --> 02:35:07,190 constituent metal itself would be 3985 02:35:14,309 --> 02:35:09,200 [Music] 3986 02:35:20,710 --> 02:35:16,389 atomic weight 3987 02:35:24,790 --> 02:35:20,720 which appears to be somewhere 3988 02:35:30,150 --> 02:35:27,270 and 3989 02:35:33,590 --> 02:35:30,160 in fact that causes a considerable 3990 02:35:36,870 --> 02:35:34,630 for instance 3991 02:35:39,270 --> 02:35:36,880 the lab techs reading 3992 02:35:42,230 --> 02:35:39,280 the plates because of the 3993 02:35:44,309 --> 02:35:42,240 overlay of the of the lines spectral 3994 02:35:46,630 --> 02:35:44,319 lines 3995 02:35:50,870 --> 02:35:49,110 there's one material that was was 3996 02:35:54,230 --> 02:35:50,880 smelled 3997 02:35:57,990 --> 02:35:54,240 and the button made which 3998 02:36:01,910 --> 02:36:00,870 a similar alloy 3999 02:36:07,030 --> 02:36:01,920 but 4000 02:36:12,710 --> 02:36:10,230 it weighed a lot more though 4001 02:36:14,790 --> 02:36:12,720 what is your own belief 4002 02:36:16,469 --> 02:36:14,800 about what this 4003 02:36:18,469 --> 02:36:16,479 fragment was from 4004 02:36:21,429 --> 02:36:18,479 what did it represent well i think it 4005 02:36:23,030 --> 02:36:21,439 was a one of the structural 4006 02:36:24,230 --> 02:36:23,040 parts 4007 02:36:28,469 --> 02:36:24,240 not the 4008 02:36:31,429 --> 02:36:30,389 i know that 4009 02:36:32,870 --> 02:36:31,439 jack 4010 02:36:35,349 --> 02:36:32,880 himself 4011 02:36:37,429 --> 02:36:35,359 always stated to me as far as the thin 4012 02:36:40,389 --> 02:36:37,439 materials go that that was the lining of 4013 02:36:44,870 --> 02:36:42,230 and that when properly energized it 4014 02:36:46,710 --> 02:36:44,880 produced perfect illumination 4015 02:36:48,710 --> 02:36:46,720 inside 4016 02:36:54,150 --> 02:36:48,720 that you had a total 4017 02:36:56,950 --> 02:36:55,110 but 4018 02:36:59,830 --> 02:36:56,960 that's why i asked today this gentleman 4019 02:37:01,830 --> 02:36:59,840 that i think it was jesse 4020 02:37:03,990 --> 02:37:01,840 that had his hands on some of that thin 4021 02:37:05,030 --> 02:37:04,000 material if he had seen it in the dark 4022 02:37:06,790 --> 02:37:05,040 right 4023 02:37:08,070 --> 02:37:06,800 i guess he hadn't 4024 02:37:10,710 --> 02:37:08,080 paid any attention to it he's pretty 4025 02:37:16,070 --> 02:37:12,790 that would be kind of interesting to see 4026 02:37:16,080 --> 02:37:19,270 energized 4027 02:37:22,070 --> 02:37:19,990 or 4028 02:37:23,750 --> 02:37:22,080 polarized maybe is 4029 02:37:25,510 --> 02:37:23,760 how it would need to be 4030 02:37:27,270 --> 02:37:25,520 it's hard to say 4031 02:37:29,750 --> 02:37:27,280 take a little um 4032 02:37:32,309 --> 02:37:29,760 well take a good little scientist and 4033 02:37:34,230 --> 02:37:32,319 maybe one of our physicist friends who 4034 02:37:36,710 --> 02:37:34,240 could tackle that and light the place up 4035 02:37:37,510 --> 02:37:36,720 with a piece of that you know 4036 02:37:41,429 --> 02:37:37,520 it's 4037 02:37:46,630 --> 02:37:41,439 what what do you think this was from 4038 02:37:50,950 --> 02:37:48,630 yeah i think that metal that thin 4039 02:37:52,870 --> 02:37:50,960 material was different i didn't see any 4040 02:37:54,630 --> 02:37:52,880 of it but from what i've seen in the 4041 02:37:57,030 --> 02:37:54,640 pictures and so on i 4042 02:37:59,429 --> 02:37:57,040 i don't think that's the same 4043 02:38:01,110 --> 02:37:59,439 the same metal 4044 02:38:03,270 --> 02:38:01,120 is your feeling that this was from an 4045 02:38:05,110 --> 02:38:03,280 extraterrestrial spacecraft 4046 02:38:11,510 --> 02:38:05,120 oh yes well there's no question in my 4047 02:38:18,469 --> 02:38:12,550 the 4048 02:38:21,429 --> 02:38:18,479 said it was just split open 4049 02:38:24,710 --> 02:38:21,439 the color of it the way it looked and 4050 02:38:24,720 --> 02:38:29,830 about the way that piece that i had 4051 02:38:33,349 --> 02:38:31,429 i'm sorry which photo are we talking 4052 02:38:35,910 --> 02:38:33,359 about here well whether it was a drawing 4053 02:38:37,750 --> 02:38:35,920 or a painting or a reconstruction i 4054 02:38:41,830 --> 02:38:37,760 don't really know but 4055 02:38:46,950 --> 02:38:42,630 that's 4056 02:38:46,960 --> 02:38:50,870 slightly mistreated maybe 4057 02:38:55,510 --> 02:38:53,429 high temperatures 4058 02:38:58,550 --> 02:38:55,520 no doubt on your mind though that this 4059 02:39:02,230 --> 02:38:58,560 was from outer space i have no question 4060 02:39:04,389 --> 02:39:02,240 but what it was from outer space bodies 4061 02:39:05,990 --> 02:39:04,399 sure 4062 02:39:08,950 --> 02:39:06,000 there's the main reason we don't have a 4063 02:39:12,150 --> 02:39:08,960 franchise on the universe yeah 4064 02:39:17,030 --> 02:39:12,160 i if you're interested in my thinking on 4065 02:39:20,230 --> 02:39:19,190 i don't think we have a franchise on 4066 02:39:22,790 --> 02:39:20,240 being 4067 02:39:26,150 --> 02:39:22,800 the only good guys 4068 02:39:27,910 --> 02:39:26,160 and or bad guys either by that matter 4069 02:39:30,150 --> 02:39:27,920 in the universe 4070 02:39:32,070 --> 02:39:30,160 obviously this was something that was uh 4071 02:39:33,670 --> 02:39:32,080 considered to be highly secret 4072 02:39:36,790 --> 02:39:33,680 patty henderson one would have shared 4073 02:39:40,070 --> 02:39:36,800 this with you right without a foundation 4074 02:39:41,110 --> 02:39:40,080 of trust right well he asked me 4075 02:39:42,790 --> 02:39:41,120 to 4076 02:39:44,389 --> 02:39:42,800 observe the 4077 02:39:45,990 --> 02:39:44,399 protocol 4078 02:39:48,710 --> 02:39:46,000 to 4079 02:39:50,710 --> 02:39:48,720 not mention it which i i didn't i was 4080 02:39:52,309 --> 02:39:50,720 kind of surprised to find that you've 4081 02:39:54,710 --> 02:39:52,319 taken a couple other people into his 4082 02:39:58,309 --> 02:39:54,720 covenants 4083 02:40:01,349 --> 02:39:58,319 one of which was bill here today 4084 02:40:04,389 --> 02:40:01,359 also there is another one that 4085 02:40:08,150 --> 02:40:05,510 this is 4086 02:40:11,030 --> 02:40:08,160 one of our naval helicopter pilots who's 4087 02:40:15,269 --> 02:40:13,030 was aware of 4088 02:40:17,670 --> 02:40:15,279 what papi had seen 4089 02:40:22,469 --> 02:40:17,680 i think he was pretty choosy about who 4090 02:40:26,630 --> 02:40:22,479 he talked to i think did he express any 4091 02:40:28,870 --> 02:40:26,640 any feelings about the secrecy aspect or 4092 02:40:30,070 --> 02:40:28,880 why it was that he wanted to share this 4093 02:40:32,830 --> 02:40:30,080 information 4094 02:40:37,110 --> 02:40:32,840 well jack had become ill with 4095 02:40:39,030 --> 02:40:37,120 uh he had no carcinoma 4096 02:40:41,670 --> 02:40:39,040 and 4097 02:40:43,750 --> 02:40:41,680 i would guess that 4098 02:40:45,110 --> 02:40:43,760 he probably wanted to leave it i think 4099 02:40:46,389 --> 02:40:45,120 bill osborne 4100 02:40:48,870 --> 02:40:46,399 expressed that 4101 02:40:51,590 --> 02:40:48,880 notion 4102 02:40:53,830 --> 02:40:51,600 i think he wanted to leave it 4103 02:40:58,389 --> 02:40:53,840 just in case he did die 4104 02:41:04,710 --> 02:41:01,190 oh he had great hopes that he would be 4105 02:41:05,830 --> 02:41:04,720 given to be given a ride 4106 02:41:09,670 --> 02:41:05,840 and it would probably would have 4107 02:41:15,590 --> 02:41:12,550 it seemed like he had sort of set up 4108 02:41:21,590 --> 02:41:18,630 it's beyond my uh 4109 02:41:24,309 --> 02:41:21,600 knowledge of his activity 4110 02:41:26,630 --> 02:41:24,319 but you know you take the 4111 02:41:27,990 --> 02:41:26,640 case at switzerland 4112 02:41:31,349 --> 02:41:28,000 event 4113 02:41:33,830 --> 02:41:31,359 and lady and arrivals there 4114 02:41:35,110 --> 02:41:33,840 in fact all the footage that was 4115 02:41:37,670 --> 02:41:35,120 made 4116 02:41:40,550 --> 02:41:37,680 of those spacecraft 4117 02:41:42,550 --> 02:41:40,560 and which incidentally i've seen the 4118 02:41:43,429 --> 02:41:42,560 some of the film on that 4119 02:41:45,830 --> 02:41:43,439 and 4120 02:41:48,230 --> 02:41:45,840 greatly resembles the uh 4121 02:41:51,269 --> 02:41:48,240 our channel 13 uh 4122 02:41:53,910 --> 02:41:51,279 that's the right channel in l.a 4123 02:41:55,269 --> 02:41:53,920 that photograph the two that flew over 4124 02:41:56,630 -->

02:42:50,640 they were doing 4145 02:42:56,469 --> 02:42:52,560 intensive 4146 02:42:59,510 --> 02:42:56,479 study to verify the authenticity 4147 02:43:01,590 --> 02:42:59,520 of these swiss landings 4148 02:43:03,990 --> 02:43:01,600 and they 4149 02:43:06,790 --> 02:43:04,000 i think to a man on these panels 4150 02:43:09,030 --> 02:43:06,800 concluded that they were real 4151 02:43:10,070 -->

there was no question about it 4158 02:43:31,750 --> 02:43:28,319 plus the description of the squadron 4159 02:43:32,950 --> 02:43:31,760 commander in that case it was a lady 4160 02:43:34,309 -->

02:50:22,230 --> 02:50:20,000 business and you were really talking to 4323 02:50:24,550 --> 02:50:22,240 somebody important i don't even remember 4324 02:50:25,990 --> 02:50:24,560 who it was who identified himself 4325 02:50:26,710 --> 02:50:26,000 was there anybody 4326 02:50:28,550 --> 02:50:26,720 but 4327 02:50:31,670 --> 02:50:28,560 he convinced me because 4328 02:50:33,110 --> 02:50:31,680 they'd already made such a stir about 4329 02:50:34,790 --> 02:50:33,120 about the releases you see to the 4330 02:50:36,389 --> 02:50:34,800 newspapers 4331 02:50:38,230 --> 02:50:36,399 and so forth 4332 02:50:40,469 --> 02:50:38,240 and so in other words the clamps went on 4333 02:50:41,510 --> 02:50:40,479 the story but this was not unusual for 4334 02:50:43,349 --> 02:50:41,520 me 4335 02:50:44,710 --> 02:50:43,359 because i had been down here for a 4336 02:50:46,070 --> 02:50:44,720 couple years at that time from 4337 02:50:48,150 --> 02:50:46,080 minneapolis 4338 02:50:51,030 --> 02:50:48,160 and with things like 4339 02:50:53,670 --> 02:50:51,040 air crashes at walker air force base 4340 02:50:55,990 --> 02:50:53,680 or the problems of that sort it was not 4341 02:50:57,510 --> 02:50:56,000 unusual for us to talk to the people and 4342 02:51:00,070 --> 02:50:57,520 they'd say okay 4343 02:51:02,070 --> 02:51:00,080 we've got a release date on this and not 4344 02:51:03,750 --> 02:51:02,080 before and not before this time of 4345 02:51:05,110 --> 02:51:03,760 course we always fought it because they 4346 02:51:06,950 --> 02:51:05,120 always tried to take care of the 4347 02:51:08,389 --> 02:51:06,960 afternoon newspaper 4348 02:51:10,150 --> 02:51:08,399 well that was that was where my question 4349 02:51:11,510 --> 02:51:10,160 was going when you got the phone call 4350 02:51:13,030 --> 02:51:11,520 from washington was there any thought 4351 02:51:14,469 --> 02:51:13,040 about going ahead to release the story 4352 02:51:17,349 --> 02:51:14,479 anyway or did you just immediately kill 4353 02:51:19,190 --> 02:51:17,359 it no we did not we didn't think so we 4354 02:51:20,950 --> 02:51:19,200 didn't know so when you got the phone 4355 02:51:23,590 --> 02:51:20,960 call that was it the story was done that 4356 02:51:25,429 --> 02:51:23,600 was as far as i was concerned okay i saw 4357 02:51:27,990 --> 02:51:25,439 no reason to do it because 4358 02:51:31,030 --> 02:51:28,000 it already had the disclaimers out there 4359 02:51:33,590 --> 02:51:31,040 10 tons of them talking about these 4360 02:51:35,429 --> 02:51:33,600 weather balloons and so forth 4361 02:51:37,590 --> 02:51:35,439 and so that was it 4362 02:51:39,590 --> 02:51:37,600 the point is that i was unable i never 4363 02:51:41,990 --> 02:51:39,600 did see the material i've talked to 4364 02:51:43,030 --> 02:51:42,000 people just as you have 4365 02:51:44,950 --> 02:51:43,040 people 4366 02:51:46,790 --> 02:51:44,960 i can't remember 4367 02:51:49,110 --> 02:51:46,800 can't remember at all 4368 02:51:52,309 --> 02:51:49,120 now you say you hit out or walt whitmore 4369 02:51:54,790 --> 02:51:52,319 hit out brazzle overnight on 4370 02:51:57,670 --> 02:51:54,800 oh yes but it was wa 4371 02:52:01,910 --> 02:51:59,590 um 4372 02:52:04,230 --> 02:52:01,920 so he had a the 45-minute wire recording 4373 02:52:06,150 --> 02:52:04,240 of brazil's interview that i don't know 4374 02:52:08,710 --> 02:52:06,160 how long it was 4375 02:52:11,269 --> 02:52:08,720 in those days with viral recorders only 4376 02:52:13,030 --> 02:52:11,279 these are guys all before your time and 4377 02:52:14,710 --> 02:52:13,040 if you recorded 15 minutes you took it 4378 02:52:17,429 --> 02:52:14,720 back to the studio and it took you 15 4379 02:52:18,269 --> 02:52:17,439 minutes to rewind 4380 02:52:29,510 --> 02:52:18,279 at 4381 02:52:30,790 --> 02:52:29,520 there was quite a clamp on on discussion 4382 02:52:33,190 --> 02:52:30,800 of this 4383 02:52:34,790 --> 02:52:33,200 and because there were people who 4384 02:52:36,790 --> 02:52:34,800 uh 4385 02:52:38,950 --> 02:52:36,800 we've all thought of people who 4386 02:52:40,790 --> 02:52:38,960 were pretty well convinced and 4387 02:52:42,870 --> 02:52:40,800 marcel was one of them and i knew all of 4388 02:52:45,110 --> 02:52:42,880 those people out of walker because we 4389 02:52:47,269 --> 02:52:45,120 had remotes out there and we did lots of 4390 02:52:51,030 --> 02:52:47,279 broadcasts out of there 4391 02:52:55,190 --> 02:52:52,389 i don't think that 4392 02:52:56,710 --> 02:52:55,200 i think we just decided that for walt 4393 02:52:59,110 --> 02:52:56,720 hot's sake 4394 02:53:01,510 --> 02:52:59,120 and so forth that we would sit tight 4395 02:53:03,510 --> 02:53:01,520 and accept whatever it was even though 4396 02:53:05,590 --> 02:53:03,520 in our innermost mind 4397 02:53:08,630 --> 02:53:05,600 we had real suddenly a real question 4398 02:53:11,590 --> 02:53:08,640 about the validity of it 4399 02:53:13,750 --> 02:53:11,600 had they ever treated a story like this 4400 02:53:18,230 --> 02:53:13,760 before had they ever created one had 4401 02:53:19,830 --> 02:53:18,240 they ever treated a story in this way oh 4402 02:53:23,429 --> 02:53:19,840 not in this particular way because this 4403 02:53:25,990 --> 02:53:23,439 was a highly unique experience however 4404 02:53:27,750 --> 02:53:26,000 as i say we were used to it because 4405 02:53:29,349 --> 02:53:27,760 if there were crashes you didn't say 4406 02:53:31,030 --> 02:53:29,359 anything about it until 4407 02:53:32,790 --> 02:53:31,040 the people have been there and all of 4408 02:53:35,590 --> 02:53:32,800 that sort of thing well yeah they they 4409 02:53:38,870 --> 02:53:35,600 embargoed yes precisely but this was a 4410 02:53:40,150 --> 02:53:38,880 total plant down well i would say so it 4411 02:53:41,429 --> 02:53:40,160 certainly was as far as we were 4412 02:53:43,750 --> 02:53:41,439 concerned 4413 02:53:47,590 --> 02:53:43,760 yeah there was no time limit 4414 02:53:52,070 --> 02:53:49,910 i can't tell you because you see i just 4415 02:53:54,469 --> 02:53:52,080 got down here in 46 when i came down 4416 02:53:55,510 --> 02:53:54,479 here from hillsborough in minneapolis 4417 02:53:57,590 --> 02:53:55,520 and 4418 02:53:59,349 --> 02:53:57,600 so i hadn't run into that sort of thing 4419 02:54:01,190 --> 02:53:59,359 there was lots of it 4420 02:54:03,190 --> 02:54:01,200 when we were in the missile site 4421 02:54:05,030 --> 02:54:03,200 business down here and so far because if 4422 02:54:06,710 --> 02:54:05,040 there was a problem 4423 02:54:07,910 --> 02:54:06,720 we were advised and we were out there 4424 02:54:09,429 --> 02:54:07,920 with our 4425 02:54:10,630 --> 02:54:09,439 blinking lights and all that sort of 4426 02:54:13,349 --> 02:54:10,640 stuff but 4427 02:54:17,750 --> 02:54:13,359 we we held we sat on those things until 4428 02:54:21,269 --> 02:54:19,030 people have asked me because there's 4429 02:54:23,110 --> 02:54:21,279 been a discussion particularly after 4430 02:54:25,349 --> 02:54:23,120 after your broadcast 4431 02:54:27,750 --> 02:54:25,359 and that that revitalized in fact i was 4432 02:54:30,230 --> 02:54:27,760 up in craig colorado last week and the 4433 02:54:32,309 --> 02:54:30,240 guy who hasn't been interested at all 4434 02:54:35,349 --> 02:54:32,319 all of a sudden he's a fan and i sent 4435 02:54:37,590 --> 02:54:35,359 him the book for more and so forth when 4436 02:54:39,990 --> 02:54:37,600 i got home here on the weekend 4437 02:54:42,550 --> 02:54:40,000 but but the point is that insofar as i 4438 02:54:43,590 --> 02:54:42,560 was concerned 4439 02:54:45,750 --> 02:54:43,600 people say 4440 02:54:47,349 --> 02:54:45,760 do you think it was true and i said 4441 02:54:49,590 --> 02:54:47,359 i don't know 4442 02:54:52,389 --> 02:54:49,600 but i'll tell you this i i it's hard for 4443 02:54:53,990 --> 02:54:52,399 me to believe that in this infinite 4444 02:54:55,030 --> 02:54:54,000 testimony small 4445 02:54:56,389 --> 02:54:55,040 area 4446 02:54:57,990 --> 02:54:56,399 of the universe 4447 02:55:00,230 --> 02:54:58,000 that we're we're the only people with 4448 02:55:01,590 --> 02:55:00,240 any intelligence 4449 02:55:03,670 --> 02:55:01,600 so if there are 4450 02:55:06,070 --> 02:55:03,680 and another thing that that interested 4451 02:55:08,469 --> 02:55:06,080 me is because i had a friend 4452 02:55:10,070 --> 02:55:08,479 who had a lot of hours 4453 02:55:11,269 --> 02:55:10,080 and i think it was northwest at that 4454 02:55:14,950 --> 02:55:11,279 time 4455 02:55:16,630 --> 02:55:14,960 and he had i don't know how many hours 4456 02:55:19,429 --> 02:55:16,640 as captain 4457 02:55:21,429 --> 02:55:19,439 and when he said he saw something off 4458 02:55:23,110 --> 02:55:21,439 the left wing 4459 02:55:24,150 --> 02:55:23,120 here's a guy who when he makes a 4460 02:55:27,190 --> 02:55:24,160 statement 4461 02:55:28,710 --> 02:55:27,200 if you're a disbeliever or an unbeliever 4462 02:55:30,630 --> 02:55:28,720 you say boy i don't want to fly with him 4463 02:55:32,469 --> 02:55:30,640 because i think he's a nut 4464 02:55:33,990 --> 02:55:32,479 so he puts his own business in jeopardy 4465 02:55:35,269 --> 02:55:34,000 as it were 4466 02:55:38,389 --> 02:55:35,279 so 4467 02:55:41,110 --> 02:55:38,399 w whitmore had razzle over knight did 4468 02:55:43,269 --> 02:55:41,120 you actually see brazzle himself 4469 02:55:45,990 --> 02:55:43,279 only when they first came in yeah 4470 02:55:47,429 --> 02:55:46,000 how did he come across you i didn't talk 4471 02:55:48,550 --> 02:55:47,439 to him very much 4472 02:55:50,309 --> 02:55:48,560 we were 4473 02:55:52,630 --> 02:55:50,319 frankly 4474 02:55:53,510 --> 02:55:52,640 we were hiding the things for halloween 4475 02:55:55,990 --> 02:55:53,520 and we 4476 02:55:57,910 --> 02:55:56,000 didn't want to make much of a stir on it 4477 02:55:59,990 --> 02:55:57,920 and whitmore lived way out on east 4478 02:56:02,070 --> 02:56:00,000 center 4479 02:56:03,670 --> 02:56:02,080 so that's that's about it 4480 02:56:05,510 --> 02:56:03,680 did um 4481 02:56:08,070 --> 02:56:05,520 uh so 4482 02:56:08,870 -->

02:56:12,240 did whitmore take him to i think he 4486 02:56:15,510 --> 02:56:13,680 turned him over 4487 02:56:18,070 --> 02:56:15,520 would it be fair to say that whitmore 4488 02:56:20,550 --> 02:56:18,080 surrendered him to the military or 4489 02:56:21,670 --> 02:56:20,560 because he was just a guest overnight 4490 02:56:24,309 --> 02:56:21,680 okay 4491 02:56:25,030 --> 02:56:24,319 so so you don't surrender a guest unless 4492 02:56:28,870 --> 02:56:25,040 your 4493 02:56:30,469 --> 02:56:28,880 name is this guy over in iraq 4494 02:56:31,269 --> 02:56:30,479 but the military was looking for him 4495 02:56:33,830 --> 02:56:31,279 though 4496 02:56:35,750 --> 02:56:33,840 i think so yeah what was that he 4497 02:56:38,469 --> 02:56:35,760 wouldn't work 4498 02:56:39,670 --> 02:56:38,479 hiding brazzle from the military or from 4499 02:56:42,630 --> 02:56:39,680 your rivals 4500 02:56:43,349 --> 02:56:42,640 he was he we just had a good story 4501 02:56:44,309 --> 02:56:43,359 so 4502 02:56:45,750 --> 02:56:44,319 whitmore was more worried about 4503 02:56:47,910 --> 02:56:45,760 protecting his story than the military 4504 02:56:49,830 --> 02:56:47,920 finding where brazil was 4505 02:56:52,389 --> 02:56:49,840 we had no reason to hide him out 4506 02:56:54,550 --> 02:56:52,399 particularly except we wanted to do some 4507 02:56:56,469 --> 02:56:54,560 talking to him first it so happened that 4508 02:56:57,429 --> 02:56:56,479 it was all for nothing because we didn't 4509 02:56:58,950 --> 02:56:57,439 use it 4510 02:57:00,710 --> 02:56:58,960 did okay so 4511 02:57:03,030 --> 02:57:00,720 that that next morning whitmore decided 4512 02:57:05,190 --> 02:57:03,040 he wanted to go out to the crash site 4513 02:57:06,309 --> 02:57:05,200 no i decided 4514 02:57:08,630 --> 02:57:06,319 because 4515 02:57:10,550 --> 02:57:08,640 they went more dead out there 4516 02:57:12,309 --> 02:57:10,560 went out to the crash site or yeah i 4517 02:57:14,309 --> 02:57:12,319 think but i don't know he couldn't get 4518 02:57:16,389 --> 02:57:14,319 any closer than i did i thought we could 4519 02:57:19,110 --> 02:57:16,399 do it with a back room or something so 4520 02:57:20,550 --> 02:57:19,120 you follow the back roads out toward 4521 02:57:21,990 --> 02:57:20,560 corona sure 4522 02:57:24,550 --> 02:57:22,000 what happened when you got out toward 4523 02:57:26,950 --> 02:57:24,560 the car they just had some road blocks 4524 02:57:29,030 --> 02:57:26,960 what was that one of the back roads 4525 02:57:31,110 --> 02:57:29,040 well they had the whole thing 4526 02:57:33,110 --> 02:57:31,120 you used the word cordon a minute ago i 4527 02:57:35,510 --> 02:57:33,120 presume that might be a pretty well i 4528 02:57:38,790 --> 02:57:35,520 didn't pay that much attention to i 4529 02:57:40,870 --> 02:57:38,800 wasn't driving we had another guy and 4530 02:57:42,309 --> 02:57:40,880 and i was more interested in just 4531 02:57:43,510 --> 02:57:42,319 getting out there and disappointed 4532 02:57:46,389 --> 02:57:43,520 because 4533 02:57:47,750 --> 02:57:46,399 believe me we didn't get close 4534 02:57:49,590 --> 02:57:47,760 you say another guy you haven't remember 4535 02:57:51,110 --> 02:57:49,600 who that was having his finest idea we 4536 02:57:53,030 --> 02:57:51,120 had about six people working for the 4537 02:57:55,190 --> 02:57:53,040 station so you went out to the to the 4538 02:57:56,150 --> 02:57:55,200 area were stopped by the 4539 02:57:58,309 --> 02:57:56,160 sure 4540 02:58:00,230 --> 02:57:58,319 what did how do they do that they just 4541 02:58:02,790 --> 02:58:00,240 say sorry the roads closed this is a 4542 02:58:06,150 --> 02:58:02,800 restricted area military men yeah we 4543 02:58:08,389 --> 02:58:06,160 were used to that um how would were they 4544 02:58:09,830 --> 02:58:08,399 within a jeep were they in a car i can't 4545 02:58:11,670 --> 02:58:09,840 imagine i imagine they're just one of 4546 02:58:12,790 --> 02:58:11,680 their blue sedans that they had 4547 02:58:15,030 --> 02:58:12,800 and 4548 02:58:17,269 --> 02:58:15,040 as you approach the fella came out on 4549 02:58:19,030 --> 02:58:17,279 the road and waved you down 4550 02:58:20,309 --> 02:58:19,040 but as a matter of fact the reason i'm 4551 02:58:22,630 --> 02:58:20,319 so vague i don't mean to be 4552 02:58:24,870 --> 02:58:22,640 intentionally is because of that thing 4553 02:58:26,790 --> 02:58:24,880 it wasn't really a big deal 4554 02:58:28,469 --> 02:58:26,800 because we've had these experiences 4555 02:58:30,469 --> 02:58:28,479 before where 4556 02:58:32,790 --> 02:58:30,479 some accident had happened and where 4557 02:58:34,870 --> 02:58:32,800 they they just kind of blocked off the 4558 02:58:37,190 --> 02:58:34,880 whole area so it was perfectly 4559 02:58:38,710 --> 02:58:37,200 reasonable as far as i was concerned 4560 02:58:40,710 --> 02:58:38,720 so you didn't get out to the site you 4561 02:58:43,190 --> 02:58:40,720 were turned around at that point came 4562 02:58:45,830 --> 02:58:43,200 back to roswell how close did you get 4563 02:58:47,429 --> 02:58:45,840 roughly i'd i'll bet i wasn't within 15 4564 02:58:49,429 --> 02:58:47,439 miles 4565 02:58:51,349 --> 02:58:49,439 i don't know i haven't any idea because 4566 02:58:54,150 --> 02:58:51,359 at that time let's say it wasn't 4567 02:58:56,070 --> 02:58:54,160 important we wanted we wanted to see the 4568 02:58:57,910 --> 02:58:56,080 stuff we'd heard about 4569 02:58:58,950 --> 02:58:57,920 and of course by that time it was all 4570 02:59:03,429 --> 02:58:58,960 picked up 4571 02:59:07,349 --> 02:59:05,750 that's about the story you say the stuff 4572 02:59:09,110 --> 02:59:07,359 you heard about 4573 02:59:10,870 --> 02:59:09,120 what did you hear what did you call them 4574 02:59:12,469 --> 02:59:10,880 well one of the things that i still 4575 02:59:13,750 --> 02:59:12,479 remember specifically is that the 4576 02:59:14,870 --> 02:59:13,760 material 4577 02:59:17,429 --> 02:59:14,880 they said 4578 02:59:19,670 --> 02:59:17,439 was as thin as a wrapper on a 4579 02:59:21,510 --> 02:59:19,680 lucky strike package 4580 02:59:23,349 --> 02:59:21,520 but you couldn't break it 4581 02:59:25,349 --> 02:59:23,359 and if you twisted it and scrunched it 4582 02:59:28,790 --> 02:59:25,359 up together it would it would come back 4583 02:59:30,309 --> 02:59:28,800 to its own deal they tried to burn it 4584 02:59:31,269 --> 02:59:30,319 and so forth 4585 02:59:33,670 --> 02:59:31,279 and 4586 02:59:36,469 --> 02:59:33,680 it was a it was a it was it was a good 4587 02:59:38,550 --> 02:59:36,479 mystery for a small town 4588 02:59:40,550 --> 02:59:38,560 but of course we had a large 4589 02:59:43,030 --> 02:59:40,560 at that particular time we had a lot of 4590 02:59:44,870 --> 02:59:43,040 military people here as you know 4591 02:59:47,190 --> 02:59:44,880 do you notice any 4592 02:59:50,309 --> 02:59:47,200 extraordinary military activity in 4593 02:59:52,790 --> 02:59:51,670 of course everybody started watching 4594 02:59:55,030 --> 02:59:52,800 this guy 4595 02:59:57,269 --> 02:59:55,040 so there was an attitude within the town 4596 03:00:00,150 --> 02:59:57,279 itself oh very aware 4597 03:00:01,830 --> 03:00:00,160 and at night my thought was 4598 03:00:03,670 --> 03:00:01,840 looking back to the old days of the 4599 03:00:05,830 --> 03:00:03,680 invasion if you remember 4600 03:00:07,590 --> 03:00:05,840 war of the worlds yeah 4601 03:00:09,429 --> 03:00:07,600 and the effect it had on people on the 4602 03:00:11,030 --> 03:00:09,439 east coast particularly 4603 03:00:13,190 --> 03:00:11,040 and i thought then perhaps maybe this 4604 03:00:15,269 --> 03:00:13,200 was a good reason i have reason not to 4605 03:00:17,190 --> 03:00:15,279 believe that it was more than just 4606 03:00:19,429 --> 03:00:17,200 protecting the public from 4607 03:00:21,429 --> 03:00:19,439 getting upset over something 4608 03:00:23,670 --> 03:00:21,439 because after that you know we got into 4609 03:00:24,710 --> 03:00:23,680 the lights and all of these sort of 4610 03:00:26,630 --> 03:00:24,720 things and 4611 03:00:28,550 --> 03:00:26,640 people that i knew who were highly 4612 03:00:30,790 --> 03:00:28,560 respectable 4613 03:00:32,150 --> 03:00:30,800 people long time guys ranchers and 4614 03:00:34,389 --> 03:00:32,160 people like that 4615 03:00:36,070 --> 03:00:34,399 who saw some of these things 4616 03:00:39,510 --> 03:00:36,080 and they had no reason to 4617 03:00:41,429 --> 03:00:39,520 they had no reason to to kid anybody 4618 03:00:42,950 --> 03:00:41,439 about standing on side of their pickup 4619 03:00:45,110 --> 03:00:42,960 and watching these lights go back and 4620 03:00:46,950 --> 03:00:45,120 forth up in the mountains 4621 03:00:48,230 --> 03:00:46,960 they're not they're not the sort of 4622 03:00:49,830 --> 03:00:48,240 people who 4623 03:00:51,670 --> 03:00:49,840 needed to do that 4624 03:00:53,190 --> 03:00:51,680 or was it their nature to be that sort 4625 03:00:54,790 --> 03:00:53,200 of person 4626 03:00:57,349 --> 03:00:54,800 around the station 4627 03:01:00,630 --> 03:00:57,359 what was the general reaction 4628 03:01:02,710 --> 03:01:00,640 to the weather bulletin story 4629 03:01:04,469 --> 03:01:02,720 well the weather balloons were being 4630 03:01:06,550 --> 03:01:04,479 launched about a block from us every 4631 03:01:08,389 --> 03:01:06,560 night 4632 03:01:09,750 --> 03:01:08,399 from the because they did that when they 4633 03:01:12,230 --> 03:01:09,760 um 4634 03:01:14,230 --> 03:01:12,240 they did that with the 4635 03:01:15,750 --> 03:01:14,240 weather bureau at that time that's how 4636 03:01:18,630 --> 03:01:15,760 they got their readings 4637 03:01:20,950 --> 03:01:18,640 so weather balloons per se were not that 4638 03:01:23,510 --> 03:01:20,960 not that interesting to us 4639 03:01:25,590 --> 03:01:23,520 so you didn't buy that 4640 03:01:27,110 --> 03:01:25,600 explanation we really did it 4641 03:01:28,230 --> 03:01:27,120 but we didn't have any good reason 4642 03:01:29,910 --> 03:01:28,240 because 4643 03:01:31,269 --> 03:01:29,920 that material was scattered out there as 4644 03:01:32,309 --> 03:01:31,279 you well know 4645 03:01:35,190 --> 03:01:32,319 and 4646 03:01:37,030 --> 03:01:35,200 it wasn't like being able to see it 4647 03:01:38,389 --> 03:01:37,040 where something goes down and there's a 4648 03:01:40,950 --> 03:01:38,399 hell of an explosion and there's an 4649 03:01:42,790 --> 03:01:40,960 exact dark place 4650 03:01:44,230 --> 03:01:42,800 did you ever have occasion to talk to 4651 03:01:46,230 --> 03:01:44,240 say colonel blanchard or any of the 4652 03:01:48,550 --> 03:01:46,240 people out at the base after this event 4653 03:01:49,990 --> 03:01:48,560 and subsequent years and learn anything 4654 03:01:53,030 --> 03:01:50,000 from them maybe they said something to 4655 03:01:55,269 --> 03:01:53,040 you oh i don't think so 4656 03:01:56,950 --> 03:01:55,279 bill blanchard was 4657 03:01:59,349 --> 03:01:56,960 one of the first guys i knew out there 4658 03:02:01,910 --> 03:01:59,359 because he had served him under my uncle 4659 03:02:04,469 --> 03:02:01,920 who was a general in the air force in 4660 03:02:06,309 --> 03:02:04,479 fact we had four guys out there who were 4661 03:02:08,870 --> 03:02:06,319 commanders who had all been 4662 03:02:11,030 --> 03:02:08,880 students under him down at what used to 4663 03:02:13,030 --> 03:02:11,040 be kelly 4664 03:02:15,190 --> 03:02:13,040 down in san antonio 4665 03:02:17,510 --> 03:02:15,200 so i always made an appointment to meet 4666 03:02:19,750 --> 03:02:17,520 those people because they're nice people 4667 03:02:22,389 --> 03:02:19,760 and we entertain them a few times and 4668 03:02:24,469 --> 03:02:22,399 they we go in there for a drink or 4669 03:02:26,870 --> 03:02:24,479 something on occasion 4670 03:02:30,309 --> 03:02:26,880 but no no we didn't discuss it and i 4671 03:02:32,150 --> 03:02:30,319 don't know why we didn't because 4672 03:02:38,150 --> 03:02:32,160 that would have been the time to 4673 03:02:43,510 --> 03:02:40,230 after 4674 03:02:44,389 --> 03:02:43,520 whitmore turned razzle over 4675 03:02:45,670 --> 03:02:44,399 the military 4676 03:02:47,670 --> 03:02:45,680 yeah 4677 03:02:50,230 --> 03:02:47,680 you saw him after this did you ever did 4678 03:02:52,309 --> 03:02:50,240 i say rob you saw it for a second oh 4679 03:02:54,309 --> 03:02:52,319 [\h__\h] 4680 03:02:56,389 --> 03:02:54,319 the first chance you had to ask him 4681 03:02:59,269 --> 03:02:56,399 about 4682 03:03:02,550 --> 03:02:59,279 why you're recording 4683 03:03:05,429 --> 03:03:02,560 i do not know in retrospect why i didn't 4684 03:03:06,309 --> 03:03:05,439 i just figured it was a dead story 4685 03:03:07,830 --> 03:03:06,319 and 4686 03:03:10,150 --> 03:03:07,840 what it's saying is that whitmore never 4687 03:03:12,389 --> 03:03:10,160 told you what the rancher said 4688 03:03:14,870 --> 03:03:12,399 oh he did this just plain discussion but 4689 03:03:16,870 --> 03:03:14,880 but the rancher didn't say much 4690 03:03:19,190 --> 03:03:16,880 the rancher really said hey i was out 4691 03:03:20,630 --> 03:03:19,200 and i was riding and i saw this and this 4692 03:03:22,150 --> 03:03:20,640 is what it looked like and i couldn't 4693 03:03:23,990 --> 03:03:22,160 figure out what it was 4694 03:03:26,150 --> 03:03:24,000 and so i came to town to tell some 4695 03:03:26,950 --> 03:03:26,160 people and mentioned it to some people 4696 03:03:29,110 --> 03:03:26,960 and 4697 03:03:30,950 --> 03:03:29,120 pretty soon there's great interest 4698 03:03:32,550 --> 03:03:30,960 and so i don't think that 4699 03:03:35,269 --> 03:03:32,560 he himself 4700 03:03:36,630 --> 03:03:35,279 went in there and did a lot of 4701 03:03:38,830 --> 03:03:36,640 pseudo 4702 03:03:41,269 --> 03:03:38,840 scientific experiments with this 4703 03:03:42,309 --> 03:03:41,279 material there were all sorts of story 4704 03:03:44,469 --> 03:03:42,319 about 4705 03:03:46,710 --> 03:03:44,479 bodies being loaded into planes and all 4706 03:03:49,110 --> 03:03:46,720 that sort of stuff and part of the first 4707 03:03:51,510 --> 03:03:49,120 that first bunch went right down to 4708 03:03:53,670 --> 03:03:51,520 fort worth to carson 4709 03:03:55,830 --> 03:03:53,680 the rest of them i understood went back 4710 03:03:57,269 --> 03:03:55,840 to uh 4711 03:03:58,870 --> 03:03:57,279 who's at akron 4712 03:04:00,230 --> 03:03:58,880 i mean dayton 4713 03:04:01,429 --> 03:04:00,240 yeah 4714 03:04:05,190 --> 03:04:01,439 do you say others you mean other 4715 03:04:07,110 --> 03:04:05,200 aircraft or yeah the presumption was 4716 03:04:08,870 --> 03:04:07,120 do you hear any bizarre stories of 4717 03:04:12,469 --> 03:04:08,880 aliens running loose in roswell at the 4718 03:04:14,469 --> 03:04:12,479 time or anything like that no we did not 4719 03:04:17,190 --> 03:04:14,479 we probably would we've probably been 4720 03:04:19,670 --> 03:04:17,200 too scared to notice 4721 03:04:26,070 --> 03:04:19,680 after all that was all free e.t and we 4722 03:04:29,910 --> 03:04:28,230 so basically 4723 03:04:31,590 --> 03:04:29,920 all you really know is a little bit of 4724 03:04:32,790 --> 03:04:31,600 what more told you 4725 03:04:35,030 --> 03:04:32,800 about the ranch you're finding the 4726 03:04:36,550 --> 03:04:35,040 debris coming into town 4727 03:04:38,469 --> 03:04:36,560 and then attempting yourself to go out 4728 03:04:39,750 --> 03:04:38,479 to the site being turned back and 4729 03:04:41,510 --> 03:04:39,760 receiving the phone call now you sure it 4730 03:04:43,349 --> 03:04:41,520 was clinton anderson's office and not oh 4731 03:04:44,630 --> 03:04:43,359 you know but i would assume so he's 4732 03:04:46,469 --> 03:04:44,640 their senator 4733 03:04:48,389 --> 03:04:46,479 could have been dennis chavez oh well it 4734 03:04:49,429 --> 03:04:48,399 could have been dennis chambers for sure 4735 03:04:51,110 --> 03:04:49,439 so 4736 03:04:52,150 --> 03:04:51,120 from what i was good enough for us 4737 03:04:54,070 --> 03:04:52,160 because 4738 03:04:55,990 --> 03:04:54,080 at that particular time you didn't go 4739 03:04:57,269 --> 03:04:56,000 around wrestling with the fcc if you 4740 03:04:59,110 --> 03:04:57,279 could help it 4741 03:05:00,070 --> 03:04:59,120 they gave you enough trouble on other 4742 03:05:01,910 --> 03:05:00,080 things 4743 03:05:05,670 --> 03:05:01,920 sitting out on a hill and monitoring you 4744 03:05:07,110 --> 03:05:05,680 and a lousy 250 watts at that time 4745 03:05:09,830 --> 03:05:07,120 to make sure you weren't putting out bad 4746 03:05:12,070 --> 03:05:09,840 information all that information and our 4747 03:05:13,349 --> 03:05:12,080 or ascap was out there trying to find if 4748 03:05:15,030 --> 03:05:13,359 we were playing some of their stuff and 4749 03:05:16,790 --> 03:05:15,040 not recording it 4750 03:05:18,550 --> 03:05:16,800 so we had all the government that we 4751 03:05:20,870 --> 03:05:18,560 needed 4752 03:05:23,429 --> 03:05:20,880 any information about the ranch or 4753 03:05:24,870 --> 03:05:23,439 in the next couple days 4754 03:05:30,550 --> 03:05:24,880 no 4755 03:05:34,230 --> 03:05:30,560 did you have impression where he was 4756 03:05:37,030 --> 03:05:34,240 i do not recall if it's very possible 4757 03:05:38,950 --> 03:05:37,040 and all i know he didn't come back into 4758 03:05:41,429 --> 03:05:38,960 the station or anything like that did 4759 03:05:42,630 --> 03:05:41,439 you ever see brazil after that i never 4760 03:05:44,710 --> 03:05:42,640 did 4761 03:05:47,030 --> 03:05:44,720 that's not unusual these guys all live 4762 03:05:48,950 --> 03:05:47,040 hell and gone away as you know 4763 03:05:51,590 --> 03:05:48,960 and 4764 03:05:55,429 --> 03:05:51,600 we were busy at that time 4765 03:05:57,110 --> 03:05:55,439 and i had a small small staff and 4766 03:06:00,950 --> 03:05:57,120 three or four guys working from the base 4767 03:06:03,510 --> 03:06:00,960 who were working part time and so forth 4768 03:06:05,990 --> 03:06:03,520 and it was it 4769 03:06:07,910 --> 03:06:06,000 as i say in retrospect 4770 03:06:09,670 --> 03:06:07,920 we'd if we'd had any idea 4771 03:06:11,590 --> 03:06:09,680 what we had if what general interest 4772 03:06:12,710 --> 03:06:11,600 there would be 4773 03:06:14,309 --> 03:06:12,720 why that 4774 03:06:15,910 --> 03:06:14,319 then it would have been easy and we 4775 03:06:19,110 --> 03:06:15,920 would have 4776 03:06:21,429 --> 03:06:19,120 said let's see if we can find out this 4777 03:06:22,389 --> 03:06:21,439 and then put two or two together and get 4778 03:06:24,150 --> 03:06:22,399 something 4779 03:06:25,349 --> 03:06:24,160 did the military ever come by the 4780 03:06:26,950 --> 03:06:25,359 station to 4781 03:06:29,670 --> 03:06:26,960 pick up press releases or anything like 4782 03:06:30,870 --> 03:06:29,680 that no indications the military came 4783 03:06:32,389 --> 03:06:30,880 back to 4784 03:06:34,790 --> 03:06:32,399 make sure there was nothing left behind 4785 03:06:38,150 --> 03:06:34,800 that might 4786 03:06:41,349 --> 03:06:38,160 no no i don't think so because we were 4787 03:06:44,309 --> 03:06:41,359 very close to the bio part 4788 03:06:45,910 --> 03:06:44,319 and because they were a source of news 4789 03:06:47,590 --> 03:06:45,920 and 4790 03:06:49,830 --> 03:06:47,600 even if they had why i don't think it 4791 03:06:52,150 --> 03:06:49,840 would have been a great mental note 4792 03:07:01,269 --> 03:06:52,160 after all of these years because it was 4793 03:07:04,550 --> 03:07:03,269 through the years 4794 03:07:05,830 --> 03:07:04,560 and certainly 4795 03:07:06,710 --> 03:07:05,840 since 4796 03:07:09,429 --> 03:07:06,720 the 4797 03:07:10,870 --> 03:07:09,439 resurrection 4798 03:07:13,190 --> 03:07:10,880 story 4799 03:07:16,790 --> 03:07:13,200 stories involved 4800 03:07:18,790 --> 03:07:16,800 any people that you've talked to any 4801 03:07:20,950 --> 03:07:18,800 former colleagues or anyone else that 4802 03:07:22,870 --> 03:07:20,960 ever voiced an opinion 4803 03:07:24,630 --> 03:07:22,880 or related any 4804 03:07:26,309 --> 03:07:24,640 tidbits of information 4805 03:07:27,910 --> 03:07:26,319 oh that i didn't have 4806 03:07:30,230 --> 03:07:27,920 no because it was usually do you believe 4807 03:07:32,630 --> 03:07:30,240 this stuff 4808 03:07:34,790 --> 03:07:32,640 and it so happened that that 4809 03:07:36,469 --> 03:07:34,800 i believed it to some extent 4810 03:07:38,389 --> 03:07:36,479 at that time and then 4811 03:07:40,469 --> 03:07:38,399 ultimately i just felt 4812 03:07:43,670 --> 03:07:40,479 more and more 4813 03:07:46,950 --> 03:07:43,680 this was a possibility 4814 03:07:55,910 --> 03:07:47,750 it 4815 03:07:57,510 --> 03:07:55,920 so you 4816 03:08:00,469 --> 03:07:57,520 you weren't that concerned that the 4817 03:08:02,550 --> 03:08:00,479 military came in and suggested that you 4818 03:08:05,830 --> 03:08:02,560 not release the story that sort of thing 4819 03:08:07,429 --> 03:08:05,840 happened on a regular basis 4820 03:08:09,349 --> 03:08:07,439 it was an aircraft accident or maybe 4821 03:08:11,030 --> 03:08:09,359 something that well see we were trying 4822 03:08:13,110 --> 03:08:11,040 to cover all of that stuff at the local 4823 03:08:14,790 --> 03:08:13,120 level because that's what we had 4824 03:08:16,070 --> 03:08:14,800 that's all we had 4825 03:08:16,870 --> 03:08:16,080 and 4826 03:08:18,950 --> 03:08:16,880 so 4827 03:08:21,030 --> 03:08:18,960 and the two stations which i was 4828 03:08:23,269 --> 03:08:21,040 associated over a period of time we 4829 03:08:25,750 --> 03:08:23,279 always had mobile units and we always 4830 03:08:27,590 --> 03:08:25,760 had we could broadcast and so forth and 4831 03:08:29,830 --> 03:08:27,600 even in those days 4832 03:08:32,950 --> 03:08:29,840 if there was a story why we chased it 4833 03:08:36,070 --> 03:08:34,309 but for for this one you didn't really 4834 03:08:37,510 --> 03:08:36,080 think there was a story 4835 03:08:40,630 --> 03:08:37,520 because i didn't think we were going to 4836 03:08:41,910 --> 03:08:40,640 be able to do anything about it 4837 03:08:43,590 --> 03:08:41,920 i thought that 4838 03:08:46,389 --> 03:08:43,600 whatever they were going to whatever 4839 03:08:48,710 --> 03:08:46,399 they were going to report because their 4840 03:08:51,510 --> 03:08:48,720 question was in many minds here 4841 03:08:53,510 --> 03:08:51,520 that whatever they were going to report 4842 03:08:54,389 --> 03:08:53,520 that's what that's what we would tell 4843 03:08:56,070 --> 03:08:54,399 them 4844 03:09:00,309 --> 03:08:56,080 so the people would know there was no 4845 03:09:05,269 --> 03:09:04,070 no because we really didn't have a story 4846 03:09:08,870 --> 03:09:05,279 we had 4847 03:09:10,950 --> 03:09:08,880 a discussion with a guy who had found 4848 03:09:14,389 --> 03:09:10,960 some stuff and 4849 03:09:17,670 --> 03:09:14,399 they they did a good job of closing that 4850 03:09:19,510 --> 03:09:17,680 thing up i think mark still was out of 4851 03:09:22,309 --> 03:09:19,520 here in 4852 03:09:23,750 --> 03:09:22,319 i don't know four or five days i imagine 4853 03:09:25,830 --> 03:09:23,760 there was there were some people that 4854 03:09:27,349 --> 03:09:25,840 were shipped out 4855 03:09:29,910 --> 03:09:27,359 maybe they were maybe that had been 4856 03:09:32,469 --> 03:09:29,920 planned for 90 days but the coincidence 4857 03:09:39,429 --> 03:09:32,479 of it made people say boy 4858 03:09:48,309 --> 03:09:41,269 was there much talk among the 4859 03:09:51,510 --> 03:09:49,830 the most exciting thing that happened 4860 03:09:53,670 --> 03:09:51,520 since 4861 03:09:57,670 --> 03:09:53,680 they sold the prized bull at the 4-h 4862 03:10:02,309 --> 03:09:59,830 covering all the big news yes i mean 4863 03:10:04,950 --> 03:10:02,319 secondary secondary story but 4864 03:10:07,349 --> 03:10:04,960 next to the global 4865 03:10:09,590 --> 03:10:07,359 was there any general tone 4866 03:10:10,870 --> 03:10:09,600 to the public reaction 4867 03:10:13,190 --> 03:10:10,880 that they believe that they didn't 4868 03:10:15,110 --> 03:10:13,200 believe it whatever 4869 03:10:16,550 --> 03:10:15,120 i wouldn't i wouldn't have any idea 4870 03:10:18,389 --> 03:10:16,560 because 4871 03:10:19,429 --> 03:10:18,399 nobody wrote a poll or anything like 4872 03:10:23,510 --> 03:10:19,439 that 4873 03:10:25,590 --> 03:10:23,520 there were some people who said 4874 03:10:27,349 --> 03:10:25,600 boy this must be a big story or they 4875 03:10:29,030 --> 03:10:27,359 wouldn't have made such an effort 4876 03:10:31,110 --> 03:10:29,040 and others who said 4877 03:10:32,950 --> 03:10:31,120 some nut 4878 03:10:34,309 --> 03:10:32,960 i saw whether there was a weather rule 4879 03:10:35,910 --> 03:10:34,319 and that's good enough for me if they 4880 03:10:36,950 --> 03:10:35,920 told me it was a winner but all night 4881 03:10:38,710 --> 03:10:36,960 george 4882 03:10:41,590 --> 03:10:38,720 which side were you on 4883 03:10:44,070 --> 03:10:41,600 i was in the middle between at that time 4884 03:10:46,630 --> 03:10:44,080 i have obviously gone to the 4885 03:10:47,510 --> 03:10:46,640 pro there was such a thing 4886 03:10:49,429 --> 03:10:47,520 now 4887 03:10:51,590 --> 03:10:49,439 but only on the basis of 4888 03:10:54,630 --> 03:10:51,600 a small 4889 03:10:56,630 --> 03:10:54,640 small bore logic that has to repeat 4890 03:10:57,990 --> 03:10:56,640 myself 4891 03:11:00,630 --> 03:10:58,000 if if 4892 03:11:01,910 --> 03:11:00,640 if we think with this little dot 4893 03:11:03,590 --> 03:11:01,920 it's getting 4894 03:11:05,110 --> 03:11:03,600 smaller and smaller all the time even 4895 03:11:06,309 --> 03:11:05,120 though this thing isn't working too well 4896 03:11:08,950 --> 03:11:06,319 up there now 4897 03:11:11,349 --> 03:11:08,960 but the fact is that 4898 03:11:13,510 --> 03:11:11,359 for us to consider the fact that we are 4899 03:11:15,510 --> 03:11:13,520 the only people with the intelligence to 4900 03:11:17,110 --> 03:11:15,520 do that and there's been so much stuff 4901 03:11:19,030 --> 03:11:17,120 to the contrary 4902 03:11:20,750 --> 03:11:19,040 since those days 4903 03:11:22,950 --> 03:11:20,760 that uh 4904 03:11:24,469 --> 03:11:22,960 i don't know 4905 03:11:26,229 --> 03:11:24,479 all i know is 4906 03:11:28,229 --> 03:11:26,239 i think that 4907 03:11:29,510 --> 03:11:28,239 to keep repeating myself which i don't 4908 03:11:31,910 --> 03:11:29,520 mean to do 4909 03:11:33,990 --> 03:11:31,920 but you can cut an episode 4910 03:11:36,790 --> 03:11:34,000 but the point is that why should we 4911 03:11:38,550 --> 03:11:36,800 think in this in this little weensy part 4912 03:11:40,389 --> 03:11:38,560 of the universe that we're the only 4913 03:11:42,309 --> 03:11:40,399 people who are ever created with any 4914 03:11:44,150 --> 03:11:42,319 intelligence 4915 03:11:45,349 --> 03:11:44,160 i know people who think there are 4916 03:11:47,349 --> 03:11:45,359 there are other 4917 03:11:48,630 --> 03:11:47,359 intelligences in space that are perhaps 4918 03:11:51,030 --> 03:11:48,640 way ahead of us 4919 03:11:52,710 --> 03:11:51,040 and this

03:22:19,110 --> 03:22:17,120 bureau of land management together 5180 03:22:20,469 --> 03:22:19,120 and 5181 03:22:21,910 --> 03:22:20,479 they saw 5182 03:22:24,710 --> 03:22:21,920 mac 5183 03:22:27,990 --> 03:22:24,720 being discarded by two 5184 03:22:28,870 --> 03:22:28,000 i believe two army men 5185 03:22:33,030 --> 03:22:28,880 and 5186 03:22:34,870 --> 03:22:33,040 or not 5187 03:22:37,510 --> 03:22:34,880 i don't believe i ever heard that and i 5188 03:22:39,670 --> 03:22:37,520 don't believe he did 5189 03:22:40,469 --> 03:22:39,680 i believe they just said something about 5190 03:22:42,710 --> 03:22:40,479 it 5191 03:22:44,790 --> 03:22:42,720 because we were all 5192 03:22:47,110 --> 03:22:44,800 the whole neighborhood was 5193 03:22:49,429 --> 03:22:47,120 scandalized at the army 5194 03:22:51,510 --> 03:22:49,439 that the services would treat people 5195 03:22:55,429 --> 03:22:51,520 like that 5196 03:22:57,510 --> 03:22:55,439 people who had good intentions did matt 5197 03:22:59,670 --> 03:22:57,520 never mention what went on when he was 5198 03:23:01,269 --> 03:22:59,680 held 5199 03:23:05,110 --> 03:23:01,279 on the base 5200 03:23:05,120 --> 03:23:09,110 surely walter hawk did 5201 03:23:09,120 --> 03:23:13,750 he was a lieutenant 5202 03:23:18,150 --> 03:23:16,070 i couldn't tell you because like i said 5203 03:23:20,229 --> 03:23:18,160 i was carrying the coffee pot 5204 03:23:22,229 --> 03:23:20,239 mac was very secret to him and i know 5205 03:23:23,429 --> 03:23:22,239 that he made it plain 5206 03:23:25,990 --> 03:23:23,439 that 5207 03:23:28,389 --> 03:23:26,000 he was not supposed to 5208 03:23:30,070 --> 03:23:28,399 tell us and not supposed to tell that 5209 03:23:32,950 --> 03:23:30,080 and i think most of what he was not 5210 03:23:37,429 --> 03:23:32,960 supposed to tell was that there was any 5211 03:23:41,910 --> 03:23:38,790 now that's 5212 03:23:50,150 --> 03:23:46,389 but mack was pretty unhappy oh you bet 5213 03:23:51,349 --> 03:23:50,160 he was a man who uh had integrity 5214 03:23:52,550 --> 03:23:51,359 um 5215 03:23:55,590 --> 03:23:52,560 he was 5216 03:24:00,389 --> 03:23:55,600 he definitely felt insulted 5217 03:24:04,309 --> 03:24:03,110 and disrespected 5218 03:24:05,910 --> 03:24:04,319 so he was annoyed at the way the 5219 03:24:07,990 --> 03:24:05,920 military treated him it was worse than 5220 03:24:09,429 --> 03:24:08,000 knowing 5221 03:24:11,830 --> 03:24:09,439 he made the effort to come in with the 5222 03:24:13,510 --> 03:24:11,840 material and they treated him that way 5223 03:24:16,070 --> 03:24:13,520 that's right and he sat basically at 5224 03:24:17,750 --> 03:24:16,080 your coffee table and elaborated at my 5225 03:24:20,469 --> 03:24:17,760 dinner table dinner table didn't have a 5226 03:24:22,150 --> 03:24:20,479 coffee oh i meant i meant dinner 5227 03:24:22,950 --> 03:24:22,160 actually kitchen tables were like man 5228

--> 03:24:29,520 some other times or i don't remember him 5232 03:24:33,910 --> 03:24:32,560 being at my table i was in the house now 5233 03:24:35,110 --> 03:24:33,920 lots of women 5234 03:24:41,830

03:34:39,680 with his neighbors i think that's why he 5442 03:34:44,150 --> 03:34:41,600 talked a little 5443 03:34:45,830 --> 03:34:44,160 because he was afraid that the 5444 03:34:47,429 -->

trying to land 5728 03:47:49,189 --> 03:47:46,960 and uh 5729 03:47:56,150 --> 03:47:49,199 i 5730 03:47:59,510 --> 03:47:56,160 that the barbados was awfully deep 5731 03:48:01,189 --> 03:47:59,520 and we went off on that side 5732 03:48:03,110 --> 03:48:01,199 if the thing didn't turn over with the 5733 03:48:03,910 --> 03:48:03,120 load we had 5734 03:48:06,469 --> 03:48:03,920 but 5735 03:48:07,189 --> 03:48:06,479 anyway he got out and run down the hill 5736 03:48:09,990 --> 03:48:07,199 and 5737 03:48:11,510 --> 03:48:10,000 i had a heck of a time getting my 5738 03:48:13,990 --> 03:48:11,520 door open 5739 03:48:16,469 --> 03:48:14,000 but i did get out and i saw it not 5740 03:48:19,030 --> 03:48:16,479 through the windshield 5741 03:48:19,750 --> 03:48:19,040 and this light came right straight over 5742 03:48:21,750 --> 03:48:19,760 us 5743 03:48:23,349 --> 03:48:21,760 and stood there 5744 03:48:26,710 --> 03:48:23,359 just to steal 5745 03:48:29,429 --> 03:48:26,720 and all one time it took off and went on 5746 03:48:33,429 --> 03:48:29,439 in another direction 5747 03:48:35,349 --> 03:48:33,439 now it didn't occur to me at the time 5748 03:48:38,229 --> 03:48:35,359 until the next day 5749 03:48:40,710 --> 03:48:38,239 there was not a sound 5750 03:48:45,189 --> 03:48:40,720 no sound 5751 03:48:45,199 --> 03:48:50,070 i was not seeing it through glass 5752 03:48:55,189 --> 03:48:52,710 and there was not any sound 5753 03:48:57,750 --> 03:48:55,199 and i said to lyman i'm gonna call we 5754 03:48:59,830 --> 03:48:57,760 had a telephone to then too 5755 03:49:00,950 --> 03:48:59,840 and must have had part of this house 5756 03:49:01,990 --> 03:49:00,960 built 5757 03:49:03,910 --> 03:49:02,000 and uh 5758 03:49:05,990 --> 03:49:03,920 i said i'm gonna call white sands and 5759 03:49:08,070 --> 03:49:06,000 tell them they lost one of their rockets 5760 03:49:11,030 --> 03:49:08,080 he says you just shut up and don't say 5761 03:49:13,510 --> 03:49:11,040 one word they'll make a food out of you 5762 03:49:15,990 --> 03:49:13,520 and they already had two or three people 5763 03:49:17,189 --> 03:49:16,000 that had seen things 5764 03:49:19,830 --> 03:49:17,199 and 5765 03:49:22,150 --> 03:49:19,840 i was just convinced it was some earthly 5766 03:49:24,950 --> 03:49:22,160 thing that had gotten loose 5767 03:49:27,110 --> 03:49:24,960 but i would like to ask you all 5768 03:49:29,590 --> 03:49:27,120 is there any 5769 03:49:31,670 --> 03:49:29,600 theory of anybody 5770 03:49:33,670 --> 03:49:31,680 who has had a theory that this is a 5771 03:49:34,950 --> 03:49:33,680 light 5772 03:49:35,910 --> 03:49:34,960 thing 5773 03:49:36,830 --> 03:49:35,920 i mean 5774 03:49:39,510 --> 03:49:36,840 like 5775 03:49:42,469 --> 03:49:39,520 we send the searchlight 5776 03:49:44,469 --> 03:49:42,479 the searchlight doesn't make any sense 5777 03:49:47,269 --> 03:49:44,479 you throw a baseball through the air and 5778 03:49:49,830 --> 03:49:47,279 it makes a sound 5779 03:49:53,750 --> 03:49:49,840 and i can't help but think that if 5780 03:49:55,349 --> 03:49:53,760 it appeared to me that this 5781 03:49:58,950 --> 03:49:55,359 thing 5782 03:50:03,269 --> 03:50:01,110 not over 100 feet above 5783 03:50:04,150 --> 03:50:03,279 maybe not that much i couldn't really 5784 03:50:06,790 --> 03:50:04,160 tell 5785 03:50:10,070 --> 03:50:06,800 it was pitch dark it was something i've 5786 03:50:14,710 --> 03:50:12,469 and uh 5787 03:50:18,790 --> 03:50:14,720 has anybody else knows the weather 5788 03:50:24,950 --> 03:50:21,510 yeah i remember there was no muddy road 5789 03:50:28,950 --> 03:50:26,870 heard hundreds and hundreds of reports 5790 03:50:31,429 --> 03:50:28,960 like that and you heard that they don't 5791 03:50:34,389 --> 03:50:31,439 make a sound 5792 03:50:35,590 --> 03:50:34,399 but has anybody said that it could be a 5793 03:50:37,349 --> 03:50:35,600 sign 5794 03:50:40,309 --> 03:50:37,359 of something that's beamed from 5795 03:50:43,349 --> 03:50:40,319 somewhere else 5796 03:50:46,830 --> 03:50:43,359 your guess is as good as anybody else's 5797 03:50:48,469 --> 03:50:46,840 speculation theories about 5798 03:50:50,630 --> 03:50:48,479 holographic 5799 03:50:52,710 --> 03:50:50,640 projections that almost appears to be 5800 03:50:54,870 --> 03:50:52,720 three-dimensional 5801 03:50:56,630 --> 03:50:54,880 from the projector 5802 03:50:58,309 --> 03:50:56,640 thing it's 5803 03:50:59,910 --> 03:50:58,319 not even solid object it's just a 5804 03:51:00,830 --> 03:50:59,920 projection just a 5805 03:51:05,910 --> 03:51:00,840 ball of 5806 03:51:10,309 --> 03:51:08,309 red round 5807 03:51:13,189 --> 03:51:10,319 what shade of red 5808 03:51:14,790 --> 03:51:13,199 i'd say it was a little bit 5809 03:51:17,830 --> 03:51:14,800 uh 5810 03:51:19,990 --> 03:51:17,840 yellow brown just a little yellow 5811 03:51:22,229 --> 03:51:20,000 lots of red 5812 03:51:24,309 --> 03:51:22,239 more orange red yes 5813 03:51:25,830 --> 03:51:24,319 if i'm going to my palette i'd pick up 5814 03:51:29,030 --> 03:51:25,840 yellow red 5815 03:51:30,950 --> 03:51:29,040 but it would be an orange red 5816 03:51:32,630 --> 03:51:30,960 well we even have lots of reports of 5817 03:51:34,790 --> 03:51:32,640 huge vehicles 5818 03:51:36,710 --> 03:51:34,800 hovering over people's heads with no 5819 03:51:39,990 --> 03:51:36,720 sound at all 5820 03:51:43,349 --> 03:51:40,000 and i can tell that it's a vehicle yes 5821 03:51:46,870 --> 03:51:45,429 and no sound 5822 03:51:49,269 --> 03:51:46,880 well how do you 5823 03:51:51,269 --> 03:51:49,279 explain that because 5824 03:51:53,910 --> 03:51:51,279 like i said you throw a ball through the 5825 03:51:54,710 --> 03:51:53,920 air and you've got a sound 5826 03:51:58,950 --> 03:51:54,720 the 5827 03:52:00,710 --> 03:51:58,960 somehow 5828 03:52:04,389 --> 03:52:00,720 the object 5829 03:52:06,309 --> 03:52:04,399 is able to with some type of a 5830 03:52:09,189 --> 03:52:06,319 for a field that would surround the 5831 03:52:11,030 --> 03:52:09,199 object actually draw the surrounding air 5832 03:52:13,590 --> 03:52:11,040 molecules 5833 03:52:15,269 --> 03:52:13,600 with it that would start to cushion it 5834 03:52:16,950 --> 03:52:15,279 and eliminate the friction the air 5835 03:52:17,990 --> 03:52:16,960 friction 5836 03:52:19,429 --> 03:52:18,000 something 5837 03:52:21,830 --> 03:52:19,439 here 5838 03:52:24,389 --> 03:52:21,840 i know it's faking greek but 5839 03:52:26,630 --> 03:52:24,399 really whatever we don't know 5840 03:52:28,469 --> 03:52:26,640 there's no friction there's no well you 5841 03:52:29,670 --> 03:52:28,479 know what a sonic boom is it's hard 5842 03:52:32,469 --> 03:52:29,680 because that's where the air is 5843 03:52:35,110 --> 03:52:32,479 separated by the supersonic jet as it 5844 03:52:36,870 --> 03:52:35,120 comes together it collapse 5845 03:52:38,870 --> 03:52:36,880 so whatever this is 5846 03:52:40,389 --> 03:52:38,880 it doesn't cause that it doesn't allow 5847 03:52:42,070 --> 03:52:40,399 it to come together 5848 03:52:45,110 --> 03:52:42,080 it doesn't seem to have to come together 5849 03:52:46,389 --> 03:52:45,120 it seems to be no break in the air 5850 03:52:49,910 --> 03:52:46,399 that's where the theory that it's 5851 03:52:53,429 --> 03:52:51,830 see too when you have an object that 5852 03:52:54,950 --> 03:52:53,439 moves that fast 5853 03:52:56,630 --> 03:52:54,960 that the friction would cause it to 5854 03:52:59,110 --> 03:52:56,640 start to glow 5855 03:53:01,590 --> 03:52:59,120 that's where like a meteorite 5856 03:53:03,670 --> 03:53:01,600 breaks up or even a satellite 5857 03:53:05,269 --> 03:53:03,680 in reentry would burn up as it comes 5858 03:53:07,349 --> 03:53:05,279 into the atmosphere 5859 03:53:09,110 --> 03:53:07,359 we don't get 5860 03:53:12,550 --> 03:53:09,120 well this that wasn't the meteorite 5861 03:53:14,950 --> 03:53:12,560 because it stood there 5862 03:53:16,950 --> 03:53:14,960 maybe they were 5863 03:53:19,510 --> 03:53:16,960 seeing how smart we were to see if they 5864 03:53:20,710 --> 03:53:19,520 wanted to ask us a few questions i don't 5865 03:53:23,030 --> 03:53:20,720 know 5866 03:53:24,950 --> 03:53:23,040 decided they didn't how long did it sit 5867 03:53:27,830 --> 03:53:24,960 there you know 5868 03:53:29,590 --> 03:53:27,840 you're under such a stress at the time 5869 03:53:31,990 --> 03:53:29,600 it's hard to say 5870 03:53:33,750 --> 03:53:32,000 i would say a few seconds 5871 03:53:35,670 --> 03:53:33,760 uh maybe 5872 03:53:37,189 --> 03:53:35,680 certainly not more than three to five 5873 03:53:38,950 --> 03:53:37,199 minutes 5874 03:53:41,349 --> 03:53:38,960 but you were moving in the truck at the 5875 03:53:45,349 --> 03:53:41,359 time no i could stop the truck good 5876 03:53:47,670 --> 03:53:45,359 stuff yes was it up ahead of the truck 5877 03:53:50,389 --> 03:53:47,680 as it appeared to hover or was it 5878 03:53:52,150 --> 03:53:50,399 right over here right over here 5879 03:53:54,630 --> 03:53:52,160 if i had been in the truck 5880 03:53:55,910 --> 03:53:54,640 i couldn't have seen it 5881 03:53:57,990 --> 03:53:55,920 but i had 5882 03:53:58,710 --> 03:53:58,000 uh you know it was hard to open a pickup 5883 03:54:00,070 --> 03:53:58,720 truck 5884 03:54:03,269 --> 03:54:00,080 to the windshield 5885 03:54:05,670 --> 03:54:03,279 i didn't look out through the windshield 5886 03:54:08,309 --> 03:54:05,680 i did when i first saw it right my 5887 03:54:09,189 --> 03:54:08,319 husband had run off down the draw and he 5888 03:54:11,030 --> 03:54:09,199 kept 5889 03:54:13,590 --> 03:54:11,040 hollering at me to come on 5890 03:54:15,750 --> 03:54:13,600 out his side and i really i think i was 5891 03:54:16,550 --> 03:54:15,760 afraid that the whole pickup would turn 5892 03:54:17,750 --> 03:54:16,560 over 5893 03:54:20,150 --> 03:54:17,760 because 5894 03:54:21,990 --> 03:54:20,160 that was a deep garbage 5895 03:54:23,670 --> 03:54:22,000 i've heard that they've got that road 5896 03:54:25,269 --> 03:54:23,680 paved down i don't know what kind of 5897 03:54:27,349 --> 03:54:25,279 garbages they got 5898 03:54:28,790 --> 03:54:27,359 but that one was deep 5899 03:54:30,950 --> 03:54:28,800 and 5900 03:54:33,030 --> 03:54:30,960 anyway i remember struggling out on the 5901 03:54:35,349 --> 03:54:33,040 driver's side 5902 03:54:39,269 --> 03:54:37,269 stood there 5903 03:54:41,189 --> 03:54:39,279 because 5904 03:54:43,269 --> 03:54:41,199 by that time by the time i got out i 5905 03:54:44,469 --> 03:54:43,279 could see that it was not an airplane 5906 03:54:47,590 --> 03:54:44,479 that was 5907 03:54:49,429 --> 03:54:47,600 trying to land and come down the road 5908 03:54:51,189 --> 03:54:49,439 but that's what i thought it was would 5909 03:54:53,110 --> 03:54:51,199 this have been 5910 03:54:56,229 --> 03:54:53,120 in 1949 5911 03:55:00,870 --> 03:54:57,990 i couldn't 5912 03:55:05,590 --> 03:55:00,880 swear to the date 5913 03:55:12,830 --> 03:55:07,910 his eyes got so bad that 5914 03:55:17,670 --> 03:55:16,950 oh i guess he had some eye problems 5915 03:55:20,469 --> 03:55:17,680 from 5916 03:55:21,429 --> 03:55:20,479 the time i first knew him 5917 03:55:23,349 --> 03:55:21,439 but 5918 03:55:25,750 --> 03:55:23,359 they were not treated 5919 03:55:29,030 --> 03:55:25,760 until 5920 03:55:31,910 --> 03:55:29,040 in the late 40s 5921 03:55:34,790 --> 03:55:31,920 and for that time it was really too late 5922 03:55:39,429 --> 03:55:34,800 he was blind for 5923 03:55:43,269 --> 03:55:41,429 he died 5924 03:55:45,510 --> 03:55:43,279 quite a few years ago right 5925 03:55:46,550 --> 03:55:45,520 six years ago well six years ago seven 5926 03:55:52,389 --> 03:55:46,560 years ago 5927 03:55:52,399 --> 03:55:58,070 yeah

6350 04:15:41,910 --> 04:15:38,479 other than it may have been in the 50s 6351 04:15:41,920 --> 04:15:51,910 middle or latter 40s or early 50s 6352 04:15:55,269 --> 04:15:53,670 so it might have been 49 or 48 so it 6353 04:15:56,710 --> 04:15:55,279 might have been right after close to the 6354 04:15:58,790 --> 04:15:56,720 time it happened 6355 04:15:59,990 --> 04:15:58,800 do you remember the

04:16:20,950 --> 04:16:19,030 you know 6362 04:16:23,349 --> 04:16:20,960 it seems ridiculous that we didn't 6363 04:16:25,349 --> 04:16:23,359 discuss it later and we may have i don't 6364 04:16:26,550 --> 04:16:25,359 recall when we're all busy and you know 6365 04:16:29,349 --> 04:16:26,560 you'll see them 6366 04:16:32,229 --> 04:16:29,359 maybe a day or two at a time 6367 04:16:35,110 --> 04:16:32,239 what given what you know what uh 6368 04:16:37,750 --> 04:16:35,120 barney barnett said to you 6369 04:16:39,269 --> 04:16:37,760 what's your feeling of uh the government

the ones who 6377 04:17:07,189 --> 04:17:05,750 but barney did mention the archaeologist 6378 04:17:15,110 --> 04:17:07,199 did he mention anybody else who might 6379 04:17:18,550 --> 04:17:16,149 they don't have any clues to how many 6380 04:17:19,910 --> 04:17:18,560 people were involved nobody else there 6381 04:17:24,469 --> 04:17:19,920 that uh 6382 04:17:29,750 --> 04:17:27,990 okay well

04:17:34,479 so you don't know about it 6386 04:17:39,110 --> 04:17:35,920 but you have no doubt the body was 6387 04:17:40,790 --> 04:17:39,120 telling you the truth about this 6388 04:17:42,229 --> 04:17:40,800 did barney ever have trouble with the 6389 04:17:43,510 --> 04:17:42,239 government afterwards maybe with the 6390 04:17:45,030 --> 04:17:43,520 internal revenue service or anything 6391

04:25:02,319 he thought it was true but he didn't 6547 04:25:05,750 --> 04:25:04,319 have any information he was trying to 6548 04:25:08,630 --> 04:25:05,760 send the deputies 6549 04:25:10,710 --> 04:25:08,640 to get some more information 6550 04:25:13,030 --> 04:25:10,720 about this but the first thing he did 6551 04:25:14,469 --> 04:25:13,040 was call the air force because that 6552 04:25:16,790 --> 04:25:14,479 seemed 6553 04:25:18,710 --> 04:25:16,800 to be important to him and he's i said 6554 04:25:20,630 --> 04:25:18,720 why did you call them and he said 6555 04:25:23,349 --> 04:25:20,640 because i have an agreement with them 6556 04:25:26,630 --> 04:25:23,359 that if any airman is in trouble in 6557 04:25:29,990 --> 04:25:26,640 roswell any kind of problem about any

jail for those and they 6561 04:25:38,149 --> 04:25:35,840 come and take care of them we'll just 6562 04:25:40,469 --> 04:25:38,159 keep them a little while 6563 04:25:42,149 --> 04:25:40,479 they just held them until the families 6564 04:25:43,910 --> 04:25:42,159 got there and 6565 04:25:46,830 --> 04:25:43,920 the flight is the same if you felt that 6566 04:25:50,229 --> 04:25:46,840 this had something to do 6567 04:25:52,790 --> 04:25:50,239 here that was their business he thought 6568 04:25:55,269 --> 04:25:52,800 that was there 6569 04:25:59,189 --> 04:25:55,279 what happened did he

the deputies out once 6574 04:26:08,550 --> 04:26:07,359 and that 6575 04:26:10,469 --> 04:26:08,560 they 6576 04:26:14,830 --> 04:26:10,479 um 6577 04:26:21,429 --> 04:26:19,670 black area blackened

04:26:28,239 and then when he 6582 04:26:34,229 --> 04:26:31,840 when they came back 6583 04:26:35,990 --> 04:26:34,239 he had to wait for the next day to send 6584 04:26:37,910 --> 04:26:36,000 them back again 6585 04:26:40,070 --> 04:26:37,920 to find something else and when they 6586 04:26:43,429 --> 04:26:40,080 went back again 6587 04:26:44,790 --> 04:26:43,439 uh the army had blocked it off 6588 04:26:48,870 --> 04:26:44,800 and 6589 04:26:51,990 --> 04:26:48,880 the army of course just being clarified 6590 04:26:53,510 --> 04:26:52,000 yesterday but it was called the army 6591 04:26:56,229 --> 04:26:53,520 again 6592 04:26:58,389 --> 04:26:56,239 and see 6593 04:27:00,309 --> 04:26:58,399 i think brazil told them how to get 6594 04:27:02,229 --> 04:27:00,319 there 6595 04:27:04,149 --> 04:27:02,239 but didn't 6596 04:27:06,070 --> 04:27:04,159 but they 6597 04:27:07,910 --> 04:27:06,080 you know there's a long distance between 6598 04:27:11,349 --> 04:27:07,920 russell and 6599 04:27:15,510 --> 04:27:11,359 corona you can't see in somebody 6600 04:27:17,910 --> 04:27:15,520 uh how can him search over a large ranch 6601 04:27:19,349 --> 04:27:17,920 or look

04:27:28,149 --> 04:27:26,239 so the deputies were turned away by the 6606 04:27:31,349 --> 04:27:28,159 army air force 6607 04:27:36,630 --> 04:27:33,830 i think it was then the next day that 6608

took it away 6748 04:33:28,150 --> 04:33:23,920 and then 6749 04:33:29,830 --> 04:33:28,160 and uh 6750 04:33:31,510 --> 04:33:29,840 my father said 6751 04:33:32,551 --> 04:33:31,520 i said what are

--> 04:33:50,959 they didn't even answer i don't think 6762 04:33:54,949 --> 04:33:52,320 out there 6763 04:33:57,990 --> 04:33:54,959 according to some of the witnesses there 6764 04:34:01,429 --> 04:33:58,000 he said that he had calls from all over 6765 04:34:03,590 --> 04:34:01,439 from england uh germany i believe i 6766 04:34:05,429 --> 04:34:03,600 can't imagine she wrote it in this 6767 04:34:07,830 --> 04:34:05,439 article the name's a place where they 6768 04:34:09,910 --> 04:34:07,840 had to call us from that morning when we 6769 04:34:11,990 --> 04:34:09,920 got to town and 6770 04:34:13,750 --> 04:34:12,000 it was quite exciting rushing around 6771 04:34:15,269 --> 04:34:13,760 there a little bit but 6772 04:34:16,949 --> 04:34:15,279 we did 6773 04:34:19,109 --> 04:34:16,959 just didn't go and i just didn't go in 6774 04:34:21,429 --> 04:34:19,119 the office i just uh stayed back in the 6775 04:34:24,230 --> 04:34:21,439 kitchen with mother and then she told us 6776 04:34:26,789 --> 04:34:24,240 what my father said but she said that he 6777 04:34:31,029 --> 04:34:26,799 was not to say one word and she didn't 6778 04:34:32,709 --> 04:34:31,039 say anything either for years and years 6779 04:34:33,429 --> 04:34:32,719 years 6780 04:34:35,590 --> 04:34:33,439 you know 6781 04:34:37,510 --> 04:34:35,600 well i see this four years in the fine 6782 04:34:38,709 --> 04:34:37,520 jail so she had to write this article 6783 04:34:43,189 --> 04:34:38,719 after 6784 04:34:49,590 --> 04:34:45,830 since she usually wrote things down 6785 04:34:53,590 --> 04:34:49,600 sometimes very soon after they happened 6786 04:34:57,510 --> 04:34:53,600 i'm guessing it's been in the 50s 55 6787 04:34:58,869 --> 04:34:57,520 that she wrote but we don't have any 6788 04:35:00,470 --> 04:34:58,879 um 6789 04:35:02,470 --> 04:35:00,480 i we don't have any 6790 04:35:05,670 --> 04:35:02,480 fate 6791 04:35:07,750 --> 04:35:05,680 we guessed it late 50s too myself that's 6792 04:35:08,390 --> 04:35:07,760 just what we had talked about guessing 6793 04:35:11,750 --> 04:35:08,400 it 6794 04:35:14,310 --> 04:35:11,760 to be late 50s or like 40s oh well you 6795 04:35:16,150 --> 04:35:14,320 see this happened in 47 6796 04:35:18,629 --> 04:35:16,160 and then they were still in the 6797 04:35:20,869 --> 04:35:18,639 sheriff's office until i believe it was 6798 04:35:23,510 --> 04:35:20,879 49 6799 04:35:25,349 --> 04:35:23,520 it may have been uh okay so we're just 6800 04:35:26,789 --> 04:35:25,359 adding some years onto that and saying 6801 04:35:28,629 --> 04:35:26,799 that that 6802 04:35:30,150 --> 04:35:28,639 the title of the article is four years 6803 04:35:31,590 --> 04:35:30,160 in the county jail so we have the out 6804 04:35:34,310 --> 04:35:31,600 there the only question is when did your 6805 04:35:36,070 --> 04:35:34,320 mother write the article 6806 04:35:37,109 --> 04:35:36,080 well i know that and we're trying to say 6807 04:35:38,551 --> 04:35:37,119 we think 6808 04:35:39,830 --> 04:35:38,561 that it was 6809 04:35:42,551 --> 04:35:39,840 in the 6810 04:35:44,709 --> 04:35:42,561 50s we think it was in my father became 6811 04:35:46,949 --> 04:35:44,719 very ill right after he came out of the 6812 04:35:49,109 --> 04:35:46,959 sheriff's office and she was traveling 6813 04:35:51,750 --> 04:35:49,119

04:35:58,949 --> 04:35:56,959 not started a business or had anything 6817 04:36:01,750 --> 04:35:58,959 you know because she had just come out 6818 04:36:04,551 --> 04:36:01,760 of this job and he didn't have a job so 6819 04:36:06,789 --> 04:36:04,561 then she became a real estate agent in 6820 04:36:08,470 --> 04:36:06,799 roswell and she came to work and my 6821 04:36:10,709 --> 04:36:08,480 father then passed on 6822 04:36:14,070 --> 04:36:10,719 and uh he died 6823 04:36:23,910 --> 04:36:14,080 64 something like that or 16. i can't 6824 04:36:27,429 --> 04:36:25,910 what do you all hear

04:37:34,150 --> 04:37:31,279 and 6852 04:37:35,429 --> 04:37:34,160 it's probably because he was new mexico 6853 04:37:38,629 --> 04:37:35,439 ranch 6854 04:37:40,830 --> 04:37:38,639 came all the

6907 04:39:59,190 --> 04:39:54,878 they just 6908 04:39:59,200 --> 04:40:10,390 the air force has a little balloon 6909 04:40:17,110 --> 04:40:12,868 i remember distinctly thinking this 6910 04:40:18,628 --> 04:40:17,120 isn't right i don't believe this but you 6911 04:40:21,350 --> 04:40:18,638 know you're busy in your own life and 6912 04:40:24,070 --> 04:40:21,360 plenty of people i didn't dream of never 6913 04:40:25,830 --> 04:40:24,080 had an idea about investigating anything 6914 04:40:28,948 --> 04:40:25,840 like these guys it doesn't sound like 6915 04:40:30,628 --> 04:40:28,958 your mother was convinced no she was not 6916 04:40:32,230 --> 04:40:30,638 don't know i think she's very very 6917 04:40:33,990 --> 04:40:32,240 brilliant and she was 6918 04:40:35,910 --> 04:40:34,000 she had uh she didn't have all of the 6919 04:40:37,430 --> 04:40:35,920 responsibility my father had with all 6920 04:40:40,070 --> 04:40:37,440 the prisoners and all the deputies and 6921 04:40:41,430 --> 04:40:40,080 all of the uh jail and all of the thing 6922 04:40:42,948 --> 04:40:41,440 and so she 6923 04:40:45,590 --> 04:40:42,958 began to 6924 04:40:46,550 --> 04:40:45,600 be real curious but she said her he told 6925 04:40:48,868 --> 04:40:46,560 her 6926 04:40:50,550 --> 04:40:48,878 the story and then she kept it as long 6927 04:40:52,868 --> 04:40:50,560 as she possibly could and then she 6928 04:40:54,788 --> 04:40:52,878 thought well she could tell our children 6929 04:40:57,590 --> 04:40:54,798 because there would be her grandchildren 6930 04:40:59,350 --> 04:40:57,600 and so she had to talk to them and uh 6931 04:41:00,788 --> 04:40:59,360 you know kind of come forth but you 6932 04:41:03,430 --> 04:41:00,798 can't uh 6933 04:41:05,670 --> 04:41:03,440 if they say don't say anything 6934 04:41:08,070 --> 04:41:05,680 and you live right there in a military 6935 04:41:10,310 --> 04:41:08,080 town and it was very important to 6936 04:41:12,868 --> 04:41:10,320 roswell to have that race there really 6937 04:41:14,788 --> 04:41:12,878 it was important and they were in the 6938 04:41:16,788 --> 04:41:14,798 public eye like 6939 04:41:19,110 --> 04:41:16,798 you conform to things it's not that 6940 04:41:22,070 --> 04:41:19,120 you're put in prison or you're that but 6941 04:41:24,070 --> 04:41:22,080 it's just a part of nature that you do 6942 04:41:26,310 --> 04:41:24,080 someone asks you not to do something and 6943 04:41:28,628 --> 04:41:26,320 you say we do what we can for our 6944 04:41:30,868 --> 04:41:28,638 country and you just do that because we 6945 04:41:33,350 --> 04:41:30,878 thought seemed important and a lot of 6946 04:41:34,708 --> 04:41:33,360 people felt that the air force was doing 6947 04:41:36,868 --> 04:41:34,718 experiments 6948 04:41:38,830 --> 04:41:36,878 and that this was some new experiment 6949 04:41:42,628 --> 04:41:38,840 that they were doing 6950 04:41:45,990 --> 04:41:45,110 it would be harmful to their 6951 04:41:46,948 --> 04:41:46,000 uh 6952 04:41:49,510 --> 04:41:46,958 new 6953 04:41:51,830 --> 04:41:49,520 uh experiments if you told what they 6954 04:41:54,150 --> 04:41:51,840 were some other country might get the 6955 04:41:56,230 --> 04:41:54,160 plans you know or some kind of thing 6956 04:41:58,788 --> 04:41:56,240 like that so if they were

patriotic everybody was doing their job 6960 04:42:09,430 --> 04:42:07,040 and they would not tell anything because 6961 04:42:12,550 --> 04:42:09,440 the war is a war you know and you 6962 04:42:14,390 --> 04:42:12,560 believe that you should uh be very 6963 04:42:18,470 --> 04:42:14,400 pictured now both our husbands were in 6964 04:42:22,948 --> 04:42:21,430 it's not funny to have

04:42:54,628 --> 04:42:52,000 about it 6979 04:42:59,750 --> 04:42:56,868 i have a couple of 6980 04:43:01,990 --> 04:42:59,760 one woman's two grown sons that live in 6981 04:43:04,150 --> 04:43:02,000 california they're very 6982 04:43:05,510 --> 04:43:04,160 interested in this and i see them effort 6983 04:43:07,910 --> 04:43:05,520 once in a while when they come to see 6984 04:43:09,830 --> 04:43:07,920 their mother and they told me that 6985 04:43:11,830 --> 04:43:09,840 one of them told me that he thought they 6986 04:43:16,470 --> 04:43:11,840 were building some material that was 6987 04:43:21,510 --> 04:43:19,350 material that they found that they found 6988 04:43:23,590 --> 04:43:21,520 out along the brussels ranch 6989 04:43:25,190 --> 04:43:23,600 and he

about things like that 6993 04:43:33,910 --> 04:43:31,360 i thought about it with several people 6994 04:43:35,990 --> 04:43:33,920 in in that area and they believe it in 6995 04:43:39,430 --> 04:43:36,000 the mother workers buddies at the time 6996 04:43:41,910 --> 04:43:39,440 and she just says i believe it 6997 04:43:42,868 --> 04:43:41,920 believe what that there was a flying 6998 04:43:43,990 --> 04:43:42,878 saucer 6999 04:43:46,070 --> 04:43:44,000 and that 7000 04:43:48,150 --> 04:43:46,080 other didn't do because she called it a 7001 04:43:50,708 --> 04:43:48,160 flying saucer and wrote about it that's 7002 04:43:51,990 --> 04:43:50,718 what this lady is she's a little older a 7003 04:43:53,430 --> 04:43:52,000 woman but 7004 04:43:55,030 --> 04:43:53,440 she said i believe she worked for the 7005 04:43:56,948 --> 04:43:55,040 base at the time 7006 04:43:58,788 --> 04:43:56,958 long family time 7007 04:44:00,948 --> 04:43:58,798 and she lives in a pressed home in 7008 04:44:03,190 --> 04:44:00,958 roswell that she's 7009 04:44:04,628 --> 04:44:03,200 got her dreams if we were to take an 7010 04:44:06,070 --> 04:44:04,638 opinion poll 7011 04:44:08,230 --> 04:44:06,080 in roswell 7012 04:44:09,990 --> 04:44:08,240 that community what do you think and the 7013 04:44:12,230 --> 04:44:10,000 question was do you believe the flying 7014 04:44:14,150 -->

04:44:23,350 --> 04:44:18,560 at least 7018 04:44:25,190 --> 04:44:23,360 but now see that's the old connors too 7019 04:44:26,948 --> 04:44:25,200 we have a lot of new influx of newer 7020 04:44:29,910 --> 04:44:26,958 people that are posted when we're 7021 04:44:32,788 --> 04:44:29,920 talking about fossil in 1947 7022 04:44:35,110 --> 04:44:32,798 we think lisbon and i think about 15 000 7023 04:44:36,230 --> 04:44:35,120 is probably what it was and now it's 40 7024 04:44:38,230 --> 04:44:36,240 different 7025 04:44:40,390 --> 04:44:38,240 and they came back to the air force and

04:44:57,680 them that live there right now but the 7035 04:45:01,670 --> 04:44:59,920 people don't live there then 7036 04:45:06,150 --> 04:45:01,680 okay let's say that you think most of 7037 04:45:09,190 --> 04:45:06,160 them yeah and i think that sixty percent 7038 04:45:12,150 --> 04:45:09,200 i i have uh when i got here i arrived 7039 04:45:14,070 --> 04:45:12,160 and i there was a

04:45:32,080 and she said oh yes i remember all about 7049 04:45:35,990 --> 04:45:34,638 that one and i haven't seen 7050 04:45:38,390 --> 04:45:36,000 she has 7051 04:45:41,190 --> 04:45:38,400 she's

05:00:41,990 --> 05:00:37,680 as i was 7358 05:00:46,230 --> 05:00:43,430 the air force 7359 05:00:48,708 --> 05:00:46,240 had established the system of 7360 05:00:51,510 --> 05:00:48,718 it was a base operations office for all 7361 05:00:53,190 --> 05:00:51,520 normal activity and they controlled the 7362 05:00:56,310 --> 05:00:53,200 weather station they controlled the 7363 05:00:58,230 --> 05:00:56,320 crash equipment the tower operation 7364 05:01:02,390 --> 05:00:58,240 that oversold 7365 05:01:04,310 --> 05:01:02,400 controlled the immediate area 7366 05:01:06,868 --> 05:01:04,320 each squadron 7367 05:01:08,788 --> 05:01:06,878 had its own contact and home operations 7368 05:01:10,390 --> 05:01:08,798 and they could set up their own training 7369 05:01:12,310 --> 05:01:10,400 flights 7370 05:01:14,390 --> 05:01:12,320 establish their own contact with air 7371 05:01:15,670 --> 05:01:14,400 traffic control 7372 05:01:18,070 --> 05:01:15,680 tell the tower that they were going to 7373 05:01:20,708 --> 05:01:18,080 take off tomorrow at 10 a.m 7374 05:01:22,550 --> 05:01:20,718 the whole 12 airplanes or 7375 05:01:23,590 --> 05:01:22,560 however many 7376 05:01:25,910 --> 05:01:23,600 and 7377 05:01:28,390 --> 05:01:25,920 all they provided to the base was the 7378 05:01:30,390 --> 05:01:28,400 fact that 12 airplanes maybe tomorrow 7379 05:01:31,830 --> 05:01:30,400 and we going on 7380 05:01:34,470 --> 05:01:31,840 let's say a 7381 05:01:36,470 --> 05:01:34,480 15-hour mission 7382 05:01:38,948 --> 05:01:36,480 that's all we needed to know 7383 05:01:42,550 --> 05:01:38,958 speaking in terms of representing the 7384 05:01:44,470 --> 05:01:42,560 groupops and the base office 7385 05:01:47,190 --> 05:01:44,480 and one of the squadrons 7386 05:01:49,750 --> 05:01:47,200 this is about three days later now four 7387 05:01:55,670 --> 05:01:53,030 announced a training flight and 7388 05:01:58,150 --> 05:01:55,680 their aircraft all took off 7389 05:02:00,470 --> 05:01:58,160 let's say this morning 7390 05:02:02,390 --> 05:02:00,480 in the order that was prescribed and so 7391 05:02:05,030 --> 05:02:02,400 forth 7392 05:02:07,270 --> 05:02:05,040 one of those aircraft was flown by pappy 7393 05:02:09,430 --> 05:02:07,280 henderson which had been loaded with all 7394 05:02:12,390 --> 05:02:09,440 the material out of hangar 84 and went 7395 05:02:14,470 --> 05:02:12,400 to right patterson including bodies 7396 05:02:16,150 --> 05:02:14,480 yes 7397 05:02:17,910 --> 05:02:16,160 the caskets that 7398 05:02:20,230 --> 05:02:17,920 this friend of mine had supplied from 7399 05:02:22,230 --> 05:02:20,240 the mortuary did you see the caskets or 7400 05:02:26,150 --> 05:02:22,240 the body no i didn't 7401 05:02:30,230 --> 05:02:26,160 how do you know that they were on that 7402 05:02:36,550 --> 05:02:32,868 how do i know i i was told that that's 7403 05:02:38,550 --> 05:02:36,560 what happy henderson said he carried 7404 05:02:42,390 --> 05:02:38,560 he was in the hangar and saw this 7405 05:02:44,230 --> 05:02:42,400 material and saw his aircraft before 7406 05:02:46,868 --> 05:02:44,240 and that's 7407 05:02:49,190 --> 05:02:46,878 it's years before he mentioned anything 7408 05:02:52,788 --> 05:02:49,200 to anybody 7409 05:02:56,310 --> 05:02:55,190 in other words what i'm trying to convey 7410 05:02:57,910 --> 05:02:56,320 is 7411 05:03:00,708 --> 05:02:57,920 everything did not go out with that 7412 05:03:03,030 --> 05:03:00,718 first air practice 7413 05:03:05,510 --> 05:03:03,040 and when the 7414 05:03:07,990 --> 05:03:05,520 next flights went 7415 05:03:10,550 --> 05:03:08,000 we can't find out today there's no way 7416 05:03:13,990 --> 05:03:10,560 of tying it down 7417 05:03:15,590 --> 05:03:14,000 they have an idea when he arrived 7418 05:03:19,030 --> 05:03:15,600 but that's not important the point is 7419 05:03:21,030 --> 05:03:19,040 that once the secrecy veil dropped 7420 05:03:25,190 --> 05:03:21,040 and colonel blanchard was informed and 7421 05:03:27,110 --> 05:03:25,200 he informed his staff a day later 7422 05:03:29,910 --> 05:03:27,120 this the official story is this was a 7423 05:03:34,470 --> 05:03:29,920 weather balloon and that's it 7424 05:03:39,430 --> 05:03:35,870 i ran into 7425 05:03:45,670 --> 05:03:42,788 uh i don't call a misunderstanding 7426 05:03:49,030 --> 05:03:45,680 a lack of understanding on the parts of 7427 05:03:51,350 --> 05:03:49,040 a couple investigative reporters 7428 05:03:53,590 --> 05:03:51,360 who asked me a leading question and i 7429 05:03:55,350 --> 05:03:53,600 turned and looked at them uh 7430 05:03:56,788 --> 05:03:55,360 like i'm looking at you and i said how 7431 05:03:59,590 --> 05:03:56,798 old are you 7432 05:04:02,310 --> 05:03:59,600 that rather startled your voice 7433 05:04:04,948 --> 05:04:02,320 and when were you born 7434 05:04:08,868 --> 05:04:04,958 well he was born around the time of the 7435 05:04:09,990 --> 05:04:08,878 korean war 52 51 53 7436 05:04:12,708 --> 05:04:10,000 you know 7437 05:04:16,390 --> 05:04:12,718 different dates for different people 7438 05:04:21,510 --> 05:04:19,190 i said your knowledge of war has been 7439 05:04:23,190 --> 05:04:21,520 limited to the vietnam 7440 05:04:25,830 --> 05:04:23,200 situation 7441 05:04:29,590 --> 05:04:25,840 and the confusion that was going on and 7442 05:04:30,948 --> 05:04:29,600 the lack of support by people 7443 05:04:32,868 --> 05:04:30,958 for the 7444 05:04:35,030 --> 05:04:32,878 for that war and 7445 05:04:37,030 --> 05:04:35,040 and really the confused 7446 05:04:38,550 --> 05:04:37,040 way it was run 7447 05:04:40,390 --> 05:04:38,560 by washington 7448 05:04:44,070 --> 05:04:40,400 authorities 7449 05:04:46,550 --> 05:04:44,080 i said never before in the history of 7450 05:04:49,590 --> 05:04:46,560 military operations has a 7451 05:04:51,910 --> 05:04:49,600 national capital setback and told 7452 05:04:54,230 --> 05:04:51,920 the people how many bombs they can drop 7453 05:04:55,990 --> 05:04:54,240 tomorrow or how many shells they can 7454 05:04:57,990 --> 05:04:56,000 fire in their moon 7455 05:05:01,830 --> 05:04:58,000 this is a ridiculous way to run an 7456 05:05:05,830 --> 05:05:03,750 but back in 7457 05:05:07,990 --> 05:05:05,840 oh the question had evolved because of 7458 05:05:11,430 --> 05:05:08,000 walter hawt and myself 7459 05:05:13,030 --> 05:05:11,440 who knew each other at the air base 7460 05:05:15,750 --> 05:05:13,040 knew of 7461 05:05:17,350 --> 05:05:15,760 who a year and a half later or two years 7462 05:05:19,110 --> 05:05:17,360 later 7463 05:05:21,590 --> 05:05:19,120 shared an office 7464 05:05:23,430 --> 05:05:21,600 for a year in town as civilians he was 7465 05:05:24,788 --> 05:05:23,440 running his 7466 05:05:27,590 --> 05:05:24,798 thing i was 7467 05:05:32,948 --> 05:05:27,600 running my little operation 7468 05:05:36,310 --> 05:05:34,230 and he had 7469 05:05:38,070 --> 05:05:36,320 raised the question with walter and then 7470 05:05:40,470 --> 05:05:38,080 with me how come you fellows never 7471 05:05:42,470 --> 05:05:40,480 talked to each other 7472 05:05:43,590 --> 05:05:42,480 and walter had made the remark well i 7473 05:05:45,670 --> 05:05:43,600 guess 7474 05:05:48,390 --> 05:05:45,680 i know what i know and he knows what he 7475 05:05:49,990 --> 05:05:48,400 knows and that was it 7476 05:05:51,030 --> 05:05:50,000 well how come you didn't talk to each 7477 05:05:53,430 --> 05:05:51,040 other 7478 05:05:56,868 --> 05:05:53,440 that's what i'm leading him 7479 05:05:58,708 --> 05:05:56,878 and why i asked him how old he was 7480 05:06:00,550 --> 05:05:58,718 world war ii 7481 05:06:03,270 --> 05:06:00,560 if you didn't experience it it's very 7482 05:06:05,350 --> 05:06:03,280 difficult to understand but i said 7483 05:06:07,990 --> 05:06:05,360 someone came up and slapped the 7484 05:06:11,830 --> 05:06:08,000 collective nose of the country 7485 05:06:17,190 --> 05:06:14,230 and it was in the newspapers it was in 7486 05:06:19,110 --> 05:06:17,200 magazines it was on the radio 7487 05:06:22,788 --> 05:06:19,120 statements similar to 7488 05:06:24,708 --> 05:06:22,798 loose lips sink ships 7489 05:06:26,948 --> 05:06:24,718 don't talk about anything 7490 05:06:28,470 --> 05:06:26,958 don't put on you know anything because 7491 05:06:31,270 --> 05:06:28,480 someone's going to take the information 7492 05:06:35,270 --> 05:06:31,280 and use it to your detriment 7493 05:06:36,550 --> 05:06:35,280 i said college campuses got into it but 7494 05:06:38,788 --> 05:06:36,560 not 7495 05:06:40,070 --> 05:06:38,798 by using signs 7496 05:06:42,310 --> 05:06:40,080 that said 7497 05:06:43,830 --> 05:06:42,320 minefield 7498 05:06:48,550 --> 05:06:43,840 don't walk here 7499 05:06:52,948 --> 05:06:50,230 newly seated areas and they didn't have 7500 05:06:56,708 --> 05:06:52,958 it roped off and it's in minefield 7501 05:07:00,070 --> 05:06:57,830 cosmo 7502 05:07:01,670 --> 05:07:00,080 the entire country became in a sense 7503 05:07:06,310 --> 05:07:01,680 brainwashed 7504 05:07:07,910 --> 05:07:06,320 everyone was concerned with world war ii 7505 05:07:10,550 --> 05:07:07,920 when i asked the question did you 7506 05:07:11,510 --> 05:07:10,560 realize ever did you ever know 7507 05:07:13,590 --> 05:07:11,520 that 7508 05:07:15,190 --> 05:07:13,600 everyone on the coastline had blackout 7509 05:07:17,430 --> 05:07:15,200 curtains on their windows and on their 7510 05:07:18,788 --> 05:07:17,440 doors when someone riding the doorbell 7511 05:07:20,868 --> 05:07:18,798 they turned out the lights before they 7512 05:07:22,150 --> 05:07:20,878 opened the door 7513 05:07:23,750 --> 05:07:22,160 and they said no 7514 05:07:26,788 --> 05:07:23,760 i said well this is true all the way 7515 05:07:28,868 --> 05:07:26,798 down the eastern coast around florida 7516 05:07:30,868 --> 05:07:28,878 and the gulf of mexico 7517 05:07:34,310 --> 05:07:30,878 the theory being we shouldn't allow the 7518 05:07:35,990 --> 05:07:34,320 enemy to to know where our cities were 7519 05:07:38,868 --> 05:07:36,000 of course now they could sit out there 7520 05:07:40,868 --> 05:07:38,878 during the day and watch and people in 7521 05:07:41,830 --> 05:07:40,878 new jersey could look out in the ocean 7522 05:07:45,910 --> 05:07:41,840 and see 7523 05:07:49,750 --> 05:07:45,920 tankers being blown up by torpedoes 7524 05:07:51,430 --> 05:07:49,760 this was taking place right out there 7525 05:07:53,590 --> 05:07:51,440 and 7526 05:07:56,390 --> 05:07:53,600 this is the way we operated you were 7527 05:07:58,150 --> 05:07:56,400 told not talk about anything 7528 05:08:01,030 --> 05:07:58,160 and then if you were in the military it 7529 05:08:03,910 --> 05:08:01,040 was even more emphasized 7530 05:08:07,510 --> 05:08:05,590 walter knew his 7531 05:08:09,430 --> 05:08:07,520 his thing and i knew my thing and we 7532 05:08:11,510 --> 05:08:09,440 never talked about it 7533 05:08:13,430 --> 05:08:11,520 we had never talked to one another about 7534 05:08:17,750 --> 05:08:13,440 the roswell incident until after we were 7535 05:08:17,760 --> 05:08:21,990 and suddenly we both 7536 05:08:25,430 --> 05:08:23,350 what do you think 7537 05:08:27,670 --> 05:08:25,440 i guess we both felt we had to explain 7538 05:08:28,830 --> 05:08:27,680 to each other what we did know 7539 05:08:31,670 --> 05:08:28,840 what do you think 7540 05:08:37,510 --> 05:08:31,680 happened what crashed 7541 05:08:44,390 --> 05:08:40,310 i think some type of craft of which we 7542 05:08:47,190 --> 05:08:46,230 had a problem 7543 05:08:52,868 --> 05:08:47,200 and 7544 05:08:54,868 --> 05:08:52,878 area new mexico 7545 05:08:56,788 --> 05:08:54,878 really do 7546 05:08:59,190 --> 05:08:56,798 as the properties of the material that 7547 05:09:03,190 --> 05:08:59,200 was found was unknown 7548 05:09:07,190 --> 05:09:05,190 the bodies had never been no one had 7549 05:09:11,430 --> 05:09:07,200 ever been seen like that before these 7550 05:09:13,910 --> 05:09:11,440 sketches were true and i feel they were 7551 05:09:16,310 --> 05:09:13,920 you did this mortician pretty well 7552 05:09:18,550 --> 05:09:16,320 yes it developed 7553 05:09:20,868 --> 05:09:18,560 that he and my wife 7554 05:09:23,670 --> 05:09:20,878 went school together 7555 05:09:25,350 --> 05:09:23,680 and his wife and i

to the fact that 7934 05:26:20,150 --> 05:26:18,160 this was a flying 7935 05:26:23,270 --> 05:26:20,160 saucer 7936 05:26:25,510 --> 05:26:23,280 and information got out 7937 05:26:27,670 -->

7940 05:26:36,230 --> 05:26:34,160 didn't want them to feel that he had 7941 05:26:38,628 --> 05:26:36,240 given the information out to someone who 7942 05:26:39,990 --> 05:26:38,638 got to the 7943

itinerary was who you 7950 05:26:56,948 --> 05:26:54,718 went to first for example 7951 05:26:59,430 --> 05:26:56,958 i'm almost certain i went to radio 7952 05:27:00,868 --> 05:26:59,440 station kgfl first 7953 05:27:05,110 --> 05:27:00,878 uh secondly 7954 05:27:06,310 --> 05:27:05,120 to uh ksws they were a half a block 7955 05:27:08,830 --> 05:27:06,320 north 7956 05:27:11,750 --> 05:27:08,840 and then i took it to 7957 05:27:13,030 --> 05:27:11,760 the bailey record which was a block 7958 05:27:16,470 --> 05:27:13,040 further and more 7959 05:27:17,430 --> 05:27:16,480 and then on my way

on 7 30 8 o'clock 8051 05:32:10,230 --> 05:32:07,520 by that time it 8052 05:32:11,590 --> 05:32:10,240 tapered off completely and i was 8053 05:32:13,270 --> 05:32:11,600 spent the last 8054 05:32:14,868 --> 05:32:13,280 half hour so just 8055 05:32:17,110 --> 05:32:14,878 looking over what had happened during 8056 05:32:20,150 --> 05:32:17,120 the course of the day and 8057 05:32:22,708 --> 05:32:20,160 beyond uh rob listen to the base didn't 8058 05:32:24,310 --> 05:32:22,718 stop operating because 8059 05:32:27,270 --> 05:32:24,320 we found that 8060 05:32:29,430 --> 05:32:27,280 so-called flying saucer 8061 05:32:31,830 --> 05:32:29,440 what happened to that 8062 05:32:34,070 --> 05:32:31,840 as you recall the only thing that 8063 05:32:36,708 --> 05:32:34,080 happened of any import as far as i was 8064 05:32:47,830 --> 05:32:37,670 i 8065 05:32:50,788 --> 05:32:47,840 balloon 8066 05:32:53,990 --> 05:32:50,798 with which i just read this tremendous 8067 05:32:56,150 --> 05:32:54,000 sigh of relief and i think i turned to 8068 05:33:00,390 --> 05:32:56,160 one of the people in the office and said 8069 05:33:05,910 --> 05:33:03,750 we fit in the category of hundreds of 8070 05:33:06,868 --> 05:33:05,920 others that had said they 8071 05:33:08,868 --> 05:33:06,878 saw 8072 05:33:11,750 --> 05:33:08,878 flying objects 8073 05:33:13,750 --> 05:33:11,760 it was not uncommon for 8074 05:33:14,930 --> 05:33:13,760 people to think they had a flying object 8075 05:33:16,548 --> 05:33:14,940 and then loaned the whole 8076 05:33:19,190 --> 05:33:16,558 [Music] 8077 05:33:22,868 --> 05:33:19,200 shot down 8078 05:33:27,270 --> 05:33:24,628 did you see any of those records from 8079 05:33:28,868 --> 05:33:27,280 any material none whatsoever do you 8080 05:33:33,110 --> 05:33:28,878 believe that colonel blanchard had seen 8081 05:33:39,670 --> 05:33:33,120 it yes i do and why do you feel that way 8082 05:33:44,868 --> 05:33:41,590 i don't want to say dumb hoe but i don't 8083 05:33:46,628 --> 05:33:44,878 think he would have been so confident in 8084 05:33:47,510 --> 05:33:46,638 his comment 8085 05:33:50,230 --> 05:33:47,520 uh 8086 05:33:51,590 --> 05:33:50,240 we have a flying saucer in our 8087 05:33:53,670 --> 05:33:51,600 professional 8088 05:33:55,510 --> 05:33:53,680 parts of the flying saucer 8089 05:33:57,830 --> 05:33:55,520 over this many years i don't remember 8090 05:34:00,708 --> 05:33:57,840 exactly 8091 05:34:03,510 --> 05:34:00,718 he wasn't overly excited he wasn't 8092 05:34:06,708 --> 05:34:03,520 flippant about it it was a normal 8093 05:34:08,470 --> 05:34:06,718 routine type of conversation that 8094 05:34:10,390 --> 05:34:08,480 we'd have when he called me and said he 8095 05:34:12,070 --> 05:34:10,400 wants this done 8096 05:34:13,990 --> 05:34:12,080 but he sounded pretty positive about it 8097 05:34:16,230 --> 05:34:14,000 he sounded positive yes 8098 05:34:18,390 --> 05:34:16,240 i believe he had 8099 05:34:20,948 --> 05:34:18,400 would you have any reason to believe 8100 05:34:25,190 --> 05:34:20,958 that colonel blanchard was mistaken 8101 05:34:29,190 --> 05:34:27,750 balloon or observation device 8102 05:34:30,948 --> 05:34:29,200 i don't think there's a 8103 05:34:31,910 --> 05:34:30,958 one chance in a 8104 05:34:34,150 --> 05:34:31,920 billion 8105 05:34:36,628 --> 05:34:34,160 that he would not have recognized 8106 05:34:38,788 --> 05:34:36,638 whatever 8107 05:34:42,230 --> 05:34:38,798 he was not he was a west point graduate 8108 05:34:43,350 --> 05:34:42,240 class of 37th as i recall 8109 05:34:45,190 --> 05:34:43,360 uh 8110 05:34:47,270 --> 05:34:45,200 had gone up through 8111 05:34:49,270 --> 05:34:47,280 from second lieutenant after colonel not 8112 05:34:52,628 --> 05:34:49,280 too many years 8113 05:34:55,030 --> 05:34:52,638 very intelligent individual 8114 05:34:56,310 --> 05:34:55,040 not the type to just jump off on 8115 05:34:57,910 --> 05:34:56,320 tangents 8116 05:35:00,390 --> 05:34:57,920 i think he 8117 05:35:01,830 --> 05:35:00,400 knew a weather balloon if he 8118 05:35:19,430 --> 05:35:01,840 had seen it and that would have been the 8119 05:35:23,430 --> 05:35:21,190 is it possible that major colonel 8120 05:35:25,430 --> 05:35:23,440 blanchard might have been misinformed by 8121 05:35:27,590 --> 05:35:25,440 somebody who told them about told him 8122 05:35:29,510 --> 05:35:27,600 about what this wreckage was without 8123 05:35:31,590 --> 05:35:29,520 having seen it for him i would doubt 8124 05:35:33,110 --> 05:35:31,600 that very much i don't think 8125 05:35:35,190 --> 05:35:33,120 he would have 8126 05:35:38,150 --> 05:35:35,200 taken the actions he did 8127 05:35:39,750 --> 05:35:38,160 by taking going down to operations with 8128 05:35:42,390 --> 05:35:39,760 it 8129 05:35:45,590 --> 05:35:42,400 if he was there in the operations 8130 05:35:48,150 --> 05:35:45,600 building he certainly saw it 8131 05:35:49,750 --> 05:35:48,160 i'm sure that maybe marcel had talked to 8132 05:35:52,548 --> 05:35:49,760 him and had 8133 05:35:54,470 --> 05:35:52,558 given him some appreciate advice as 8134 05:35:55,990 --> 05:35:54,480 far as he was concerned 8135 05:35:58,310 --> 05:35:56,000 by 8136 05:36:00,948 --> 05:35:58,320 that word 8137 05:36:03,750 --> 05:36:00,958 i don't know how much just marcel knew 8138 05:36:05,670 --> 05:36:03,760 about it but he again was a very 8139 05:36:08,788 --> 05:36:05,680 intelligent individual 8140 05:36:09,910 --> 05:36:08,798 and not the type that would just jump at 8141 05:36:12,548 --> 05:36:09,920 uh 8142 05:36:13,990 --> 05:36:12,558 anything and try to carry it 8143 05:36:15,990 --> 05:36:14,000 to an end 8144 05:36:17,910 --> 05:36:16,000 and 8145 05:36:20,070 --> 05:36:17,920 between the two of them 8146 05:36:22,948 --> 05:36:20,080 i'm certain that 8147 05:36:26,150 --> 05:36:22,958 one or the other would have called the 8148 05:36:28,708 --> 05:36:26,160 other one's hand if it uh 8149 05:36:30,548 --> 05:36:28,718 was a weather balloon 8150 05:36:32,230 --> 05:36:30,558 what did you think when uh general randy 8151 05:36:33,990 --> 05:36:32,240 said it was a weather one do you believe 8152 05:36:37,590 --> 05:36:34,000 that 8153 05:36:40,230 --> 05:36:37,600 uh we're in 1947 when the general said 8154 05:36:43,030 --> 05:36:40,240 it was the weather balloon comes away 8155 05:36:43,590 --> 05:36:43,040 and there's a load off of our 8156 05:36:47,350 --> 05:36:43,600 right i was mind 8157

--> 05:36:52,638 you're just as happy that they're very 8161 05:37:00,548 --> 05:36:57,030 that 8162 05:37:03,030 --> 05:37:00,558 end of the story uh 8163 05:37:04,868 --> 05:37:03,040 surprisingly 8164 05:37:06,628 --> 05:37:04,878 i used to see general 8165 05:37:07,590 --> 05:37:06,638 that time you can't have the phone 8166 05:37:10,230 --> 05:37:07,600 general 8167 05:37:12,070 --> 05:37:10,240 uh last year when he came into town he 8168 05:37:13,670 --> 05:37:12,080 called me and to have breakfast with him 8169 05:37:15,830 --> 05:37:13,680 for lunch 8170 05:37:17,830 --> 05:37:15,840 uh 8171 05:37:20,868 --> 05:37:17,840 never before it was mentioned 8172 05:37:23,750 --> 05:37:20,878 at any time during our conversations 8173 05:37:25,990 --> 05:37:23,760 was that deliberate on your part no 8174 05:37:28,628 --> 05:37:26,000 i had very frankly 8175 05:37:31,030 --> 05:37:28,638 forgotten about him 8176 05:37:32,788 --> 05:37:31,040 and whether he had forgotten i doubt it 8177 05:37:35,590 --> 05:37:32,798 very much 8178 05:37:36,948 --> 05:37:35,600 but he just never brought it up 8179 05:37:38,628 --> 05:37:36,958 um 8180 05:37:40,788 --> 05:37:38,638 did

but if 8463 05:52:09,030 --> 05:52:07,040 you heard of roswell 8464 05:52:11,270 --> 05:52:09,040 it's largely 8465 05:52:13,670 --> 05:52:11,280 because of mr friedman 8466 05:52:15,750 --> 05:52:13,680 on the original civilian investigator 8467 05:52:17,670 --> 05:52:15,760 yeah absolutely and i think that whole 8468 05:52:19,590 --> 05:52:17,680 story would have just been swept under 8469 05:52:21,990 --> 05:52:19,600 the rug and somewhere in the secret 8470 05:52:23,430 --> 05:52:22,000 government there are people cursing at 8471 05:52:24,230 --> 05:52:23,440 you 8472 05:52:27,430 --> 05:52:24,240 well 8473 05:52:29,670 --> 05:52:27,440 probably more more than one place 8474 05:52:30,548 --> 05:52:29,680 because you really i mean uh 8475 05:52:32,708 --> 05:52:30,558 that 8476 05:52:35,110 --> 05:52:32,718 roswell's always been my favorite ufo 8477 05:52:36,470 --> 05:52:35,120 story because it's so many twists and 8478 05:52:38,390 --> 05:52:36,480 turns and 8479 05:52:40,868 --> 05:52:38,400 you know i was going to ask you did you 8480 05:52:43,430 --> 05:52:40,878 hear this new theory that these alien 8481 05:52:45,750 --> 05:52:43,440 bodies were some kind of japanese 8482 05:52:48,070 --> 05:52:45,760 captured soldiers that were experimented 8483 05:52:51,030 --> 05:52:48,080 on that people oh yeah that's been 8484 05:52:53,350 --> 05:52:51,040 around for years and 8485 05:52:56,230 --> 05:52:53,360 look one of the fanciest one is that 8486 05:52:57,990 --> 05:52:56,240 stalin worked with dr death joseph 8487 05:53:00,548 --> 05:52:58,000 mengele 8488 05:53:01,750 --> 05:53:00,558 and they had some physically 8489 05:53:05,270 --> 05:53:01,760 distressed 8490 05:53:07,110 --> 05:53:05,280 people put on board a craft and

panic 8494 05:53:15,270 --> 05:53:12,718 and i hate to say that's a ridiculous 8495 05:53:17,510 --> 05:53:15,280 argument 8496 05:53:19,110 --> 05:53:17,520 for example the war the world's panic 8497 05:53:20,868 --> 05:53:19,120 that took place in new jersey right 8498 05:53:23,110 --> 05:53:20,878 across the river from you 8499 05:53:25,750 --> 05:53:23,120 and uh well new jersey is the most 8500 05:53:27,190 --> 05:53:25,760 densely populated state more people per 8501 05:53:28,788 --> 05:53:27,200 square mile 8502 05:53:30,948 --> 05:53:28,798 than any other state 8503 05:53:35,110 --> 05:53:30,958 and where the saucer crashed in new 8504 05:53:37,590 --> 05:53:35,120 mexico ain't no people damn it 8505 05:53:39,590 --> 05:53:37,600 yeah i mean that theory is just crazy i 8506

05:53:44,958 and uh you're one of the misconceptions 8510 05:53:50,070 --> 05:53:47,040 about roswell though i wanted to ask you 8511 05:53:52,150 --> 05:53:50,080 about is that people think it was a ufo 8512 05:53:55,110 --> 05:53:52,160 crash but don't you believe it was two 8513 05:53:56,788 --> 05:53:55,120 separate crash sites well okay 8514 05:53:59,990 --> 05:53:56,798 there was a crash 8515 05:54:01,670 --> 05:54:00,000 75 miles roughly north of roswell out in 8516 05:54:04,150 --> 05:54:01,680 the middle of nowhere near the little 8517 05:54:05,990 --> 05:54:04,160 town called corona 8518 05:54:08,310 --> 05:54:06,000 uh you know like the cigar like the 8519 05:54:09,190 --> 05:54:08,320 toyota corona 8520 05:54:10,628 --> 05:54:09,200 and 8521 05:54:13,270 --> 05:54:10,638 when there was a 50th anniversary 8522 05:54:15,430 --> 05:54:13,280 celebration of roswell in 97 8523 05:54:17,830 --> 05:54:15,440 they had a sign on the old theater in 8524 05:54:19,590 --> 05:54:17,840 corona 8525 05:54:21,510 --> 05:54:19,600 forget about roswell it all happened 8526 05:54:24,070 --> 05:54:21,520 here 8527 05:54:26,788 --> 05:54:24,080 so the debris field was near roswell but 8528 05:54:30,470 --> 05:54:26,798 that was but there was an almost intact 8529 05:54:34,150 --> 05:54:32,948 well the debris field was near corona 8530 05:54:38,070 --> 05:54:34,160 and

05:54:43,040 in my first conversation with jesse 8534 05:54:46,070 --> 05:54:44,558 marcel 8535 05:54:48,310 --> 05:54:46,080 he was the major 8536 05:54:50,230 --> 05:54:48,320 with whom i first

05:57:09,120 information in homo wherever it was 8603 05:57:13,430 --> 05:57:10,718 and they had a number for a jesse a 8604 05:57:14,470 --> 05:57:13,440 marcel okay i called him 8605 05:57:16,868 --> 05:57:14,480 and 8606 05:57:18,948 --> 05:57:16,878 this is before the internet you know 8607 05:57:22,548 --> 05:57:18,958 times were different than 8608 05:57:24,628 --> 05:57:22,558 1978 uh you know no internet 8609 05:57:26,390 --> 05:57:24,638 and uh he told me a story and people say 8610 05:57:28,548 --> 05:57:26,400 well why would he talk to you i thought 8611 05:57:30,948 --> 05:57:28,558 it was all highly classified his picture 8612 05:57:33,030 --> 05:57:30,958 was in the newspapers i found that out 8613 05:57:34,150 --> 05:57:33,040 later i didn't know it then 8614 05:57:35,910 --> 05:57:34,160 uh 8615 05:57:37,590 --> 05:57:35,920 his picture was taken in the office of 8616 05:57:39,830 --> 05:57:37,600 general raymie who was head of the 8617 05:57:42,390 --> 05:57:39,840 eighth air force of which the 509th was 8618 05:57:43,910 --> 05:57:42,400 apart and he told me a story and one of 8619 05:57:45,590 --> 05:57:43,920 the first things he said was there was 8620 05:57:47,590 --> 05:57:45,600 so much wreckage out there spread out 8621 05:57:49,270 --> 05:57:47,600 over such a large area 8622 05:57:51,910 --> 05:57:49,280 that he figured there had to be a 8623 05:57:53,270 --> 05:57:51,920 mid-air explosion 8624 05:57:54,868 --> 05:57:53,280 because 8625 05:57:56,788 --> 05:57:54,878 there was too much stuff and it was 8626 05:57:58,230 --> 05:57:56,798 spread out over too large an area 8627 05:57:59,830 --> 05:57:58,240 there's nothing conventional out there 8628 05:58:01,030 --> 05:57:59,840 you've seen here playing crashes in the 8629 05:58:02,948 --> 05:58:01,040 pacific 8630 05:58:04,708 --> 05:58:02,958 and there's a mess that's what i always 8631 05:58:07,750 --> 05:58:04,718 thought when people talk about well it 8632 05:58:10,628 --> 05:58:07,760 was just a weather balloon 8633 05:58:14,310 --> 05:58:10,638 about the 509 there's like these guys 8634 05:58:15,670 --> 05:58:14,320 were around nuclear weapons and and uh i 8635 05:58:17,910 --> 05:58:15,680 think they would know the difference 8636 05:58:20,628 --> 05:58:17,920 between a weather balloon and an alien 8637 05:58:23,350 --> 05:58:20,638 spacecraft or you know well jesse had 8638 05:58:25,590 --> 05:58:23,360 taken he had taken a course 8639 05:58:28,788 --> 05:58:25,600 on radar and weather balloons and all 8640 05:58:31,590 --> 05:58:28,798 this he had to brief the airplanes 8641 05:58:33,350 --> 05:58:31,600 when they went out on 8642 05:58:36,708 --> 05:58:33,360 planned missions 8643 05:58:39,350 --> 05:58:36,718 you know send a bunch of airplanes up to 8644 05:58:42,390 --> 05:58:39,360 new york a pseudo attack on new york if 8645 05:58:43,670 --> 05:58:42,400 you will so he was very familiar and the 8646 05:58:46,310 --> 05:58:43,680 weather balloons were launched every 8647 05:58:47,590 --> 05:58:46,320 single day at the base 8648 05:58:49,510 --> 05:58:47,600 because you want to know which way the 8649 05:58:50,868 --> 05:58:49,520 winds blow you know and how strong it is 8650 05:58:52,230 --> 05:58:50,878 at altitude 8651 05:58:53,910 --> 05:58:52,240 you can't tell a lot from the ground 8652 05:58:55,830 --> 05:58:53,920 you've got to send up a balloon and it 8653 05:58:57,350 --> 05:58:55,840 radios back information 8654 05:58:59,030 --> 05:58:57,360 so jesse was very familiar with the 8655 05:59:00,548 --> 05:58:59,040 weather remember there were four 8656 05:59:03,190 --> 05:59:00,558 explanations 8657 05:59:04,868 --> 05:59:03,200 the first in the newspapers on july 8 8658 05:59:07,430 --> 05:59:04,878 1947 8659 05:59:10,390 --> 05:59:07,440 army captures flying saucer on ranch in 8660 05:59:13,830 --> 05:59:10,400 roswell region that was in newspapers 8661 05:59:15,430 --> 05:59:13,840 evening papers from chicago west 8662 05:59:17,350 --> 05:59:15,440 the press release went out too late to 8663 05:59:19,830 --> 05:59:17,360 make the east coast papers 8664 05:59:22,948 --> 05:59:19,840 the next day remy empties roswell's 8665 05:59:24,070 --> 05:59:22,958 zoster saucer 8666 05:59:25,110 --> 05:59:24,080 so 8667 05:59:28,470 --> 05:59:25,120 the 8668 05:59:30,390 --> 05:59:28,480 flying saucer 8669 05:59:32,948 --> 05:59:30,400 then it was weather balloon radar 8670 05:59:35,590 --> 05:59:32,958 reflector combination 8671 05:59:37,430 --> 05:59:35,600 and then we had the 8672 05:59:38,788 --> 05:59:37,440 mogul balloons 8673 05:59:42,390 --> 05:59:38,798 now these were 8674 05:59:44,628 --> 05:59:42,400 20 to 25 standard normal neoprene 8675 05:59:47,430 --> 05:59:44,638 weather balloons at 20 foot intervals 8676 05:59:49,910 --> 05:59:47,440 record twine tying them together they 8677 05:59:52,470 --> 05:59:49,920 were supposed to be a constant altitude 8678 05:59:55,030 --> 05:59:52,480 instrument platform they were trying to 8679 05:59:56,470 --> 05:59:55,040 see if they could hear a soviet nuclear 8680 05:59:58,868 --> 05:59:56,480 explosion because they didn't know when 8681 06:00:01,830 --> 05:59:58,878 the soviets would go nuclear 8682 06:00:05,670 --> 06:00:01,840 and it wasn't a very good idea so they 8683 06:00:08,470 --> 06:00:05,680 would stay aloft for thousands of miles 8684 06:00:11,110 --> 06:00:08,480 and they had found that underwater you 8685 06:00:12,788 --> 06:00:11,120 can hear sounds over very long distances 8686 06:00:13,910 --> 06:00:12,798 later the water through which sound 8687 06:00:14,788 --> 06:00:13,920 travels 8688 06:00:16,070 --> 06:00:14,798 better 8689 06:00:18,628 --> 06:00:16,080 if you will 8690 06:00:20,548 --> 06:00:18,638 but the fourth explanation 8691 06:00:22,230 --> 06:00:20,558 the mogul balloon explanation sounds 8692 06:00:23,750 --> 06:00:22,240 good we were testing muggle balloons in 8693 06:00:25,510 --> 06:00:23,760 new mexico 8694 06:00:27,190 --> 06:00:25,520 uh the only trouble was people have 8695 06:00:28,628 --> 06:00:27,200 looked very carefully at the logs of 8696 06:00:31,030 --> 06:00:28,638 those who were launching the balloons 8697 06:00:33,510 --> 06:00:31,040 they said high security the purpose was 8698 06:00:35,510 --> 06:00:33,520 classified not the technology they were 8699 06:00:37,350 --> 06:00:35,520 not accompanied by chase planes or 8700 06:00:40,548 --> 06:00:37,360 anything like that to recover this 8701 06:00:41,590 --> 06:00:40,558 exotic technology it wasn't exotic 8702 06:00:43,590 --> 06:00:41,600 uh 8703 06:00:44,868 --> 06:00:43,600 the fourth explanation was my favorite 8704 06:00:46,470 --> 06:00:44,878 though 8705 06:00:49,190 --> 06:00:46,480 they wrote a the air force wrote a big 8706 06:00:52,230 --> 06:00:49,200 report the roswell report truth versus 8707 06:00:53,950 --> 06:00:52,240 fiction in the new mexico desert the air 8708 06:00:55,430 --> 06:00:53,960 force applied the fiction 8709 06:00:58,230 --> 06:00:55,440 [Applause] 8710 06:00:59,750 --> 06:00:58,240 well the the fourth explanation they 8711 06:01:01,750 --> 06:00:59,760 said they weren't going to say anymore 8712 06:01:03,510 --> 06:01:01,760 but they wrote another report 8713 06:01:05,750 --> 06:01:03,520 now they had discovered that we were 8714 06:01:09,110 --> 06:01:05,760 launching crash test dummies all over 8715 06:01:10,868 --> 06:01:09,120 new mexico so stories about bodies 8716 06:01:13,430 --> 06:01:10,878 crash test dummies and they use the same 8717 06:01:14,868 --> 06:01:13,440 map of where they dropped all these 8718 06:01:17,270 --> 06:01:14,878 dummies 8719 06:01:19,190 --> 06:01:17,280 i should explain the reason for that was 8720 06:01:21,350 --> 06:01:19,200 airplanes were flying much higher than 8721 06:01:23,030 --> 06:01:21,360 they'd ever flown before 8722 06:01:25,110 --> 06:01:23,040 and if you were on board an airplane at 8723 06:01:28,788 --> 06:01:25,120 40 000 feet 8724 06:01:31,110 --> 06:01:28,798 and you had to eject 8725 06:01:32,470 --> 06:01:31,120 you wanted to make the ejection safe in 8726 06:01:34,548 --> 06:01:32,480 the first place 8727 06:01:36,708 --> 06:01:34,558 because you had to find out 8728 06:01:38,788 --> 06:01:36,718 how long does it take before you come 8729 06:01:40,788 --> 06:01:38,798 down where the temperature is reasonable 8730 06:01:43,030 --> 06:01:40,798 if it freeze to death you know at 40 000 8731 06:01:44,230 --> 06:01:43,040 feet it's very very cold up there 8732 06:01:45,750 --> 06:01:44,240 and you certainly aren't going to use 8733 06:01:48,788 --> 06:01:45,760 pilots on these 8734 06:01:50,310 --> 06:01:48,798 ejection seats 8735 06:01:53,670 --> 06:01:50,320 and the 8736 06:01:57,190 --> 06:01:53,680 bodies were dummies i found 8737 06:02:00,070 --> 06:01:57,200 the air force officer 8738 06:02:01,590 --> 06:02:00,080 colonel madsen he's dead now 8739 06:02:03,430 --> 06:02:01,600 who had been in charge of the program 8740 06:02:04,868 --> 06:02:03,440 his picture as an air force report they 8741 06:02:06,470 --> 06:02:04,878 didn't talk to him 8742 06:02:07,430 --> 06:02:06,480 they went back and looked at the old 8743 06:02:08,150 --> 06:02:07,440 records 8744 06:02:10,390 --> 06:02:08,160 he 8745 06:02:11,350 --> 06:02:10,400 made sure that i understood a couple of 8746 06:02:14,030 --> 06:02:11,360 things 8747 06:02:16,548 --> 06:02:14,040 one the dummies were six feet tall and 8748 06:02:20,150 --> 06:02:16,558 175 pounds 8749 06:02:22,230 --> 06:02:20,160 and they were in air force flight gear 8750 06:02:24,150 --> 06:02:22,240 you see why would you do that because 8751 06:02:26,548 --> 06:02:24,160 that affects the drag and the heating of 8752 06:02:28,548 --> 06:02:26,558 the body as it comes down 8753 06:02:30,070 --> 06:02:28,558 you want to measure that 8754 06:02:31,830 --> 06:02:30,080 and you can't do it 8755 06:02:33,990 --> 06:02:31,840 you know without a dummy that isn't 8756 06:02:35,750 --> 06:02:34,000 properly pressed if you will now these 8757 06:02:38,948 --> 06:02:35,760 were wooden dummies and often when they 8758 06:02:40,868 --> 06:02:38,958 hit the ground the limbs came off 8759 06:02:43,830 --> 06:02:40,878 and they didn't look anything at all 8760 06:02:45,910 --> 06:02:43,840 like a small big headed alien yeah i 8761 06:02:48,390 --> 06:02:45,920 always thought that was funny like okay 8762 06:02:58,310 --> 06:02:48,400 it was funny did you use four foot tall 8763 06:03:01,990 --> 06:03:00,310 wasn't there a time discrepancy too like 8764 06:03:04,070 --> 06:03:02,000 these dummy tests well none of the oh 8765 06:03:05,990 --> 06:03:04,080 yeah a minor detail 8766 06:03:07,990 --> 06:03:06,000 yeah none of these were launched until 8767 06:03:10,230 --> 06:03:08,000 53 years later 8768 06:03:13,110 --> 06:03:10,240 so what six years between friends i mean 8769 06:03:14,548 --> 06:03:13,120 come on you know slight time lag 8770 06:03:16,948 --> 06:03:14,558 time war 8771 06:03:19,110 --> 06:03:16,958 time travel for crash test dummies the 8772 06:03:21,910 --> 06:03:19,120 new technology 8773 06:03:23,430 --> 06:03:21,920 it you know what what's crazy is 8774 06:03:25,670 --> 06:03:23,440 that explanation appeared on the front 8775 06:03:27,270 --> 06:03:25,680 page in new york times 8776 06:03:29,270 --> 06:03:27,280 and all i can say is that at the 8777 06:03:31,750 --> 06:03:29,280 beginning of world war ii 8778 06:03:33,670 --> 06:03:31,760 within two weeks of pearl harbor 8779 06:03:35,910 --> 06:03:33,680 there was a director of censorship 8780 06:03:37,750 --> 06:03:35,920 established 8781 06:03:40,390 --> 06:03:37,760 and for example the newspapers couldn't 8782 06:03:42,470 --> 06:03:40,400 use the word uranium any place 8783 06:03:43,990 --> 06:03:42,480 they couldn't use fugal balloon the 8784 06:03:46,628 --> 06:03:44,000 japanese were launching these big 8785 06:03:48,310 --> 06:03:46,638 balloons with explosives on board 8786 06:03:49,350 --> 06:03:48,320 from out in the pacific and the winds 8787 06:03:50,708 --> 06:03:49,360 blow them 8788 06:03:52,470 --> 06:03:50,718 and they're going to start fires all 8789 06:03:55,190 --> 06:03:52,480 over the united states 8790 06:03:56,708 --> 06:03:55,200 and there were a few started not many 8791 06:03:58,470 --> 06:03:56,718 but you couldn't talk about that we 8792 06:04:01,830 --> 06:03:58,480 didn't want them to know how successful 8793 06:04:04,070 --> 06:04:01,840 or unsuccessful those balloon launchers 8794 06:04:05,590 --> 06:04:04,080 one person did die there was 8795 06:04:06,868 --> 06:04:05,600 somebody i've read about that it's 8796 06:04:08,708 --> 06:04:06,878 amazing that 8797 06:04:10,070 --> 06:04:08,718 the government's response was to just 8798 06:04:12,230 --> 06:04:10,080 not talk about it they didn't want the 8799 06:04:14,788 --> 06:04:12,240 japanese to know that they were at all 8800 06:04:17,830 --> 06:04:14,798 successful so they

researchers people 9024 06:15:13,110 --> 06:15:10,878 ask me all the time what researchers do 9025 06:15:14,948 --> 06:15:13,120 i trust i can count them on one hand 9026 06:15:18,948 --> 06:15:14,958 this one's michael 9027 06:15:21,030 --> 06:15:18,958 hand that i can count on researchers 9028 06:15:23,430 --> 06:15:21,040 that i trust and think are providing 9029 06:15:25,670 --> 06:15:23,440 accurate information 9030 06:15:28,548 --> 06:15:25,680 so i thought what we would do today is i 9031 06:15:29,910 --> 06:15:28,558 want to try to present the roswell case 9032 06:15:33,510 --> 06:15:29,920 the best way 9033 06:15:36,070 --> 06:15:33,520 i know how as is as presented by the 9034 06:15:37,990 --> 06:15:36,080 researchers by the the reference words 9035 06:15:39,510 --> 06:15:38,000 we're just going to run through the case 9036 06:15:43,270 --> 06:15:39,520 and we're going to present it kind of 9037 06:15:44,948 --> 06:15:43,280 word for word as is and then later on 9038 06:15:47,030 --> 06:15:44,958 when we're done i kind of want to 9039 06:15:50,150 --> 06:15:47,040 provide a counter point 9040 06:15:52,070 --> 06:15:50,160 and the reason why i want to do that is 9041 06:15:55,430 --> 06:15:52,080 being a researcher 9042 06:15:58,628 --> 06:15:55,440 it is our job it is our mandate 9043 06:16:01,110 --> 06:15:58,638 to resist the urge to jump on a 9044 06:16:03,830 --> 06:16:01,120 particular bandwagon a particular 9045 06:16:06,868 --> 06:16:03,840 narrative so we have to be 9046 06:16:09,670 --> 06:16:06,878 non-biased and neutral that's our job 9047 06:16:13,350 --> 06:16:09,680 and in some cases if the truth is 9048 06:16:16,868 --> 06:16:13,360 unpopular or it's inconvenient we still 9049 06:16:18,788 --> 06:16:16,878 have to go down that road regardless 9050 06:16:20,548 --> 06:16:18,798 that's that's the goal here 9051 06:16:22,470 --> 06:16:20,558 i absolutely agree with you and i've 9052 06:16:24,868 --> 06:16:22,480 tried to keep an open mind we've we've 9053 06:16:26,628 --> 06:16:24,878 invited uh people who are true believers 9054 06:16:29,110 --> 06:16:26,638 that it was an extraterrestrial in that 9055 06:16:31,590 --> 06:16:29,120 event who were convinced of it we've 9056 06:16:33,350 --> 06:16:31,600 invited kalkorf who's a huge skeptic who 9057 06:16:34,310 --> 06:16:33,360 says it's nothing but a weather balloon 9058 06:16:35,910 --> 06:16:34,320 and hype 9059 06:16:38,708 --> 06:16:35,920 you know i've tried to keep an open mind 9060 06:16:43,270 --> 06:16:38,718 and i i'm gonna make up my mind after i 9061

9097 06:18:12,310 --> 06:18:10,798 some of the landmarks and 9098 06:18:14,868 --> 06:18:12,320 trace the 9099 06:18:16,868 --> 06:18:14,878 historical legacy of the of the event 9100 06:18:18,548 --> 06:18:16,878 and then take you down main street which 9101 06:18:20,310 --> 06:18:18,558 you can follow today you can follow the 9102 06:18:23,030 --> 06:18:20,320 path of main street all the way to 9103 06:18:24,708 --> 06:18:23,040 hangar p3 building 84 if you choose to 9104 06:18:25,750 --> 06:18:24,718 do so so that's what we're going to do 9105 06:18:26,548 --> 06:18:25,760 here 9106 06:18:28,788 --> 06:18:26,558 and 9107 06:18:32,788 --> 06:18:28,798 the first thing that we we need to look 9108 06:18:34,150 --> 06:18:32,798 at is this map here 9109 06:18:35,670 --> 06:18:34,160 and if you 9110 06:18:37,270 --> 06:18:35,680 look at the bottom of the map you'll see 9111 06:18:39,510 --> 06:18:37,280 roswell and we'll just kind of go 9112 06:18:42,548 --> 06:18:39,520 through this slowly here 9113 06:18:43,670 --> 06:18:42,558 upper on the upper left hand you've got 9114 06:18:45,670 --> 06:18:43,680 corona 9115 06:18:48,548 --> 06:18:45,680 and then you've got something called the 9116 06:18:51,190 --> 06:18:48,558 debris field so in point of fact we're 9117 06:18:53,670 --> 06:18:51,200 talking about multiple events going on 9118 06:18:55,670 --> 06:18:53,680 at the same time it's not just one crash 9119 06:18:58,788 --> 06:18:55,680 here we've got multiple things we need 9120 06:18:59,910 --> 06:18:58,798 to look at so the first thing 9121 06:19:03,430 --> 06:18:59,920 is if you 9122 06:19:05,750 --> 06:19:03,440 look north of this large circle with the 9123 06:19:07,350 --> 06:19:05,760 arrow that i have pointed to it the 9124 06:19:10,150 --> 06:19:07,360 debris field 9125 06:19:12,468 --> 06:19:10,160 five miles north approximately five 9126 06:19:15,030 --> 06:19:12,478 miles north of debris field 9127 06:19:17,030 --> 06:19:15,040 which is 65 miles northwest of roswell 9128 06:19:19,350 --> 06:19:17,040 is something called the touchdown site 9129 06:19:21,670 --> 06:19:19,360 which almost no one ever talks about 9130 06:19:24,948 --> 06:19:21,680 it's called the touchdown site and this 9131 06:19:26,708 --> 06:19:24,958 is the location where lincoln le paz and 9132 06:19:29,830 --> 06:19:26,718 louis ricketts 9133 06:19:32,230 --> 06:19:29,840 found two interesting things 9134 06:19:33,670 --> 06:19:32,240 they found fused glass 9135 06:19:35,590 --> 06:19:33,680 fused sand 9136 06:19:37,750 --> 06:19:35,600 which is indicative of high heat and 9137 06:19:40,390 --> 06:19:37,760 they also found steven 9138 06:19:43,110 --> 06:19:40,400 a seamless black box 9139 06:19:45,270 --> 06:19:43,120 that is almost never talked about 9140 06:19:48,150 --> 06:19:45,280 it's so we we believe it to be about the 9141 06:19:49,830 --> 06:19:48,160 size of a bread box it's seamless and to 9142 06:19:52,468 --> 06:19:49,840 this day 9143 06:19:55,190 --> 06:19:52,478 i don't think anyone knows if we've ever 9144 06:19:56,788 --> 06:19:55,200 been able to open it we just don't know 9145 06:19:59,430 --> 06:19:56,798 so those are the two things that were 9146 06:20:01,910 --> 06:19:59,440 found five miles north of debris field 9147 06:20:03,830 --> 06:20:01,920 at a place called the touchdown site now 9148 06:20:07,030 --> 06:20:03,840 going south we've got the main debris 9149 06:20:09,190 --> 06:20:07,040 field 65 miles north of roswell 9150 06:20:11,430 --> 06:20:09,200 where we have mac brazil and 9151 06:20:14,868 --> 06:20:11,440 seven-year-old timothy d proctor on the 9152 06:20:17,350 --> 06:20:14,878 morning of july third 1947 9153 06:20:19,110 --> 06:20:17,360 they discovered three types of debris 9154 06:20:21,270 --> 06:20:19,120 which we're going to 9155 06:20:22,868 --> 06:20:21,280 uh look at in the next few slides here 9156 06:20:25,590 --> 06:20:22,878 now 9157 06:20:27,670 --> 06:20:25,600 as the craft is traversing from the 9158 06:20:29,270 --> 06:20:27,680 northwest to the southeast you can see 9159 06:20:30,868 --> 06:20:29,280 the track that i've drawn here that's 9160 06:20:33,990 --> 06:20:30,878 the flight path 9161 06:20:35,750 --> 06:20:34,000 this we have the main impact site now 9162 06:20:38,230 --> 06:20:35,760 there were there were five bodies 9163 06:20:40,948 --> 06:20:38,240 recovered and one was still alive 9164 06:20:43,910 --> 06:20:40,958 and we've got the the impact site which 9165 06:20:45,190 --> 06:20:43,920 was an egg-shaped craft the size of a 9166 06:20:47,110 --> 06:20:45,200 volkswagen 9167 06:20:48,830 --> 06:20:47,120 now west 9168 06:20:52,548 --> 06:20:48,840 of the impact 9169 06:20:55,190 --> 06:20:52,558 site i have a small dot here now that 9170 06:20:56,788 --> 06:20:55,200 dot should be moved further northwest 9171 06:20:59,590 --> 06:20:56,798 i've already corrected it but i need to 9172 06:21:01,510 --> 06:20:59,600 put that map into this power point so 9173 06:21:03,430 --> 06:21:01,520 take that smaller dart where i doubt 9174 06:21:05,670 --> 06:21:03,440 where i say second body site that needs 9175 06:21:09,910 --> 06:21:05,680 to be moved further to the west and 9176 06:21:10,868 --> 06:21:09,920 that's also known as the d proctor site 9177 06:21:14,468 --> 06:21:10,878 where 9178 06:21:17,030 --> 06:21:14,478 in the mid 1990s timothy d proctor 9179 06:21:19,750 --> 06:21:17,040 brought his mom to this site and told 9180 06:21:21,030 --> 06:21:19,760 here this is where i found something 9181 06:21:23,830 --> 06:21:21,040 else 9182 06:21:26,708 --> 06:21:23,840 he did see the body at least one body he 9183 06:21:29,430 --> 06:21:26,718 did see so this is a this is east of the 9184 06:21:30,948 --> 06:21:29,440 debris field now we go to the crash site 9185 06:21:33,190 --> 06:21:30,958 we already talked about it five bodies 9186 06:21:35,510 --> 06:21:33,200 recovered one was still alive 9187 06:21:37,750 --> 06:21:35,520 and this is the 9188 06:21:39,510 --> 06:21:37,760 this is kind of the technical layout of 9189 06:21:41,030 --> 06:21:39,520 where we'll be kind of going through 9190 06:21:43,110 --> 06:21:41,040 here now let's go to this one this was 9191 06:21:46,150 --> 06:21:43,120 taken by don schmidt this is the 9192 06:21:50,708 --> 06:21:46,160 vicinity of the impact site this is july 9193 06:21:52,868 --> 06:21:50,718 2nd 1947 approximately 11 59 pm 9194 06:21:55,350 --> 06:21:52,878 and if we go forward here so you can see 9195 06:21:57,110 --> 06:21:55,360 there's no trees there's these low 9196 06:21:59,190 --> 06:21:57,120 rolling hills 9197 06:22:01,830 --> 06:21:59,200 it's remote by car but it's not remote 9198 06:22:04,150 --> 06:22:01,840 by aircraft at all you can see whatever 9199 06:22:06,070 --> 06:22:04,160 would crash here would be visible by 9200 06:22:08,628 --> 06:22:06,080 someone flying over 9201 06:22:12,468 --> 06:22:08,638 so this is now the morning of july 3rd 9202 06:22:14,948 --> 06:22:12,478 1947 we've got matt brazil and we've got 9203 06:22:18,070 --> 06:22:14,958 seven-year-old timothy d proctor 9204 06:22:19,910 --> 06:22:18,080 they come across this strange debris and 9205 06:22:21,350 --> 06:22:19,920 they mentioned three types of debris 9206 06:22:24,310 --> 06:22:21,360 number one 9207 06:22:26,788 --> 06:22:24,320 they had debris that was 9208 06:22:28,548 --> 06:22:26,798 basically you could call it debris that 9209 06:22:30,948 --> 06:22:28,558 could not be cut could not be burned 9210 06:22:32,548 --> 06:22:30,958 could not be dented with with a 16-pound 9211 06:22:34,948 --> 06:22:32,558 sledge hammer that was the first type of 9212 06:22:37,750 --> 06:22:34,958 debris second type of debris is known as 9213 06:22:39,910 --> 06:22:37,760 the holy grail or the memory metal this 9214 06:22:42,230 --> 06:22:39,920 is the kind of debris where if you were 9215 06:22:45,030 --> 06:22:42,240 standing by a table and you pick this 9216 06:22:47,590 --> 06:22:45,040 debris off the table and you crinkle it 9217 06:22:49,830 --> 06:22:47,600 up in your hand and let go of it it 9218 06:22:52,310 --> 06:22:49,840 would spread out like liquid mercury and 9219 06:22:55,350 --> 06:22:52,320 then slowly drop down to the table 9220 06:22:56,868 --> 06:22:55,360 that's number two number three is these 9221 06:22:58,468 --> 06:22:56,878 strange 9222 06:23:00,150 --> 06:22:58,478 i-beams 9223 06:23:02,390 --> 06:23:00,160 that have this very interesting 9224 06:23:04,548 --> 06:23:02,400 hieroglyphic writing written on the 9225 06:23:05,590 --> 06:23:04,558 inside wall so those are the three types 9226 06:23:08,230 --> 06:23:05,600 of debris 9227 06:23:11,190 --> 06:23:08,240 that uh were found this is the morning 9228 06:23:12,468 --> 06:23:11,200 of july third 3rd 1947. okay so let's 9229 06:23:14,468 --> 06:23:12,478 move on here 9230 06:23:16,868 --> 06:23:14,478 and this is interesting because 9231 06:23:19,990 --> 06:23:16,878 whatever this was 9232 06:23:21,110 --> 06:23:20,000 was laying out in the new mexican desert 9233 06:23:24,708 --> 06:23:21,120 area 9234 06:23:27,110 --> 06:23:24,718 for the night of the second the third 9235 06:23:29,350 --> 06:23:27,120 the fourth the fifth the sixth and the 9236 06:23:32,708 --> 06:23:29,360 seventh so we've got like we're looking 9237 06:23:34,948 --> 06:23:32,718 at five to six days that the debris the 9238 06:23:36,468 --> 06:23:34,958 craft the bodies were already sitting 9239 06:23:38,390 --> 06:23:36,478 out there before the military got 9240 06:23:41,990 --> 06:23:38,400 involved so you can see we've got 9241 06:23:44,070 --> 06:23:42,000 erosion we've got weather we've got 9242 06:23:45,990 --> 06:23:44,080 not gonna happen in five days a lot can 9243 06:23:47,670 --> 06:23:46,000 happen in five days that's right that's 9244 06:23:49,750 --> 06:23:47,680 right so and and see now that's 9245 06:23:52,708 --> 06:23:49,760 consistent because if you have a body 9246 06:23:55,190 --> 06:23:52,718 that's decomposing over five six days 9247 06:23:56,230 --> 06:23:55,200 and you've got animals nibbling on these 9248 06:23:58,868 --> 06:23:56,240 things 9249 06:24:02,070 --> 06:23:58,878 it's gonna start wreaking really bad and 9250 06:24:04,150 --> 06:24:02,080 that's precisely the report that we got 9251 06:24:06,788 --> 06:24:04,160 from the members who on the retrieval 9252 06:24:09,670 --> 06:24:06,798 team they said that the stench of the 9253 06:24:12,310 --> 06:24:09,680 bodies permeated their uniforms and 9254 06:24:13,910 --> 06:24:12,320 their fabric on their clothes so bad 9255 06:24:15,350 --> 06:24:13,920 that their wives had to burn their 9256 06:24:17,750 --> 06:24:15,360 clothes 9257 06:24:19,590 --> 06:24:17,760 now someone tell me how a weather 9258 06:24:21,910 --> 06:24:19,600 balloon is going to do that 9259 06:24:23,110 --> 06:24:21,920 how how is that going to happen just 9260 06:24:24,788 --> 06:24:23,120 throwing it out there how is that going 9261 06:24:25,990 --> 06:24:24,798 to happen okay so 9262 06:24:28,310 --> 06:24:26,000 this is an illustration that i 9263 06:24:29,430 --> 06:24:28,320 commissioned my friend tom bogan to do 9264 06:24:32,150 --> 06:24:29,440 for me 9265 06:24:34,070 --> 06:24:32,160 he's no longer with us so i'm preserving 9266 06:24:36,390 --> 06:24:34,080 his legacy he gets the credit for this 9267 06:24:39,030 --> 06:24:36,400 now this was done under the strict 9268 06:24:41,830 --> 06:24:39,040 guidance of don schmidt don schmidt has 9269 06:24:43,830 --> 06:24:41,840 reviewed these this is as close as we 9270 06:24:44,788 --> 06:24:43,840 can possibly get to what it may have 9271 06:24:47,350 --> 06:24:44,798 looked like 9272 06:24:49,190 --> 06:24:47,360 now let's go on we'll go on to the left 9273 06:24:50,868 --> 06:24:49,200 here we've got the ambulance truck we've 9274 06:24:52,788 --> 06:24:50,878 got the survivor there above the 9275 06:24:54,868 --> 06:24:52,798 ambulance truck we've got the 18 wheeler 9276 06:24:57,510 --> 06:24:54,878 tractor trailer lowboy 9277 06:24:59,910 --> 06:24:57,520 we've got a jeep here don schmidt also 9278 06:25:03,590 --> 06:24:59,920 stated that where this craft came down 9279 06:25:05,270 --> 06:25:03,600 was was within very close proximity of a 9280 06:25:07,670 --> 06:25:05,280 windmill 9281 06:25:10,310 --> 06:25:07,680 and a small water tank so we've got that 9282 06:25:11,910 --> 06:25:10,320 we've got the uh troop transport on the 9283 06:25:14,230 --> 06:25:11,920 right hand side and then in the 9284 06:25:16,070 --> 06:25:14,240 foreground to the right we've got this 9285 06:25:18,468 --> 06:25:16,080 egg-shaped craft the size of a 9286 06:25:20,230 --> 06:25:18,478 volkswagen with a hull breech and then a 9287 06:25:22,868 --> 06:25:20,240 couple of other bodies 9288 06:25:25,590 --> 06:25:22,878 so there's one thing in here that we did 9289 06:25:28,150 --> 06:25:25,600 not add which almost no one knows about 9290 06:25:31,430 --> 06:25:28,160 which don schmidt told me 9291 06:25:34,150 --> 06:25:31,440 at roswell army airfield the 509th bomb 9292 06:25:37,190 --> 06:25:34,160 group did not have a crane at the time 9293 06:25:40,310 --> 06:25:37,200 of this incident so they brought in from 9294 06:25:42,628 --> 06:25:40,320 downtown roswell a civilian crane to 9295 06:25:44,468 --> 06:25:42,638 pick up the craft and put it on the 18 9296 06:25:45,990 --> 06:25:44,478 wheeler tractor trailer we just didn't 9297 06:25:47,990 --> 06:25:46,000 have enough real estate in this 9298 06:25:50,628 --> 06:25:48,000 illustration to put that in but there 9299 06:25:53,030 --> 06:25:50,638 should be a crane in this illustration 9300 06:25:55,270 --> 06:25:53,040 to make it completely complete so let's 9301 06:25:56,150 --> 06:25:55,280 move on to the next scene here 9302 06:25:58,390 --> 06:25:56,160 now 9303 06:26:02,548 --> 06:25:58,400 this is roswell main street military 9304 06:26:04,628 --> 06:26:02,558 convoy july 8 1947 and we have this plus 9305 06:26:07,030 --> 06:26:04,638 or minus five minutes because we've 9306 06:26:10,708 --> 06:26:07,040 identified multiple eyewitnesses 9307 06:26:13,590 --> 06:26:10,718 including two paper boys who saw a very 9308 06:26:15,270 --> 06:26:13,600 interesting convoy going right down main 9309 06:26:17,590 --> 06:26:15,280 street and you can follow that route 9310 06:26:19,750 --> 06:26:17,600 today all the way to the base so you've 9311 06:26:22,150 --> 06:26:19,760 got a couple jeeps up front you've got 9312 06:26:24,628 --> 06:26:22,160 that 18 wheeler tractor trailer that was 9313 06:26:26,788 --> 06:26:24,638 at the crash site we've got a jeep in 9314 06:26:29,190 --> 06:26:26,798 back but then there were multiple 9315 06:26:32,310 --> 06:26:29,200 eyewitnesses that stated that 9316 06:26:36,390 --> 06:26:32,320 there was this strange egg-shaped craft 9317 06:26:38,390 --> 06:26:36,400 it was about 12 13 feet across it might 9318 06:26:40,628 --> 06:26:38,400 have been eight feet tall 9319 06:26:42,628 --> 06:26:40,638 and they had a tarp over it they had 9320 06:26:44,868 --> 06:26:42,638 ropes covering it 9321 06:26:47,910 --> 06:26:44,878 and you could not see what was down here 9322 06:26:50,230 --> 06:26:47,920 but it did resemble this egg-shaped 9323 06:26:52,708 --> 06:26:50,240 craft and that's consistent with what we 9324 06:26:55,830 --> 06:26:52,718 know about the actual crash site so 9325 06:26:57,670 --> 06:26:55,840 these things seem to check out okay so 9326 06:27:00,230 --> 06:26:57,680 we're tracking pretty good here so let's 9327 06:27:02,548 --> 06:27:00,240 let's move i want to take you inside the 9328 06:27:06,070 --> 06:27:02,558 hangar now so this is roswell army 9329 06:27:08,948 --> 06:27:06,080 airfield hangar p3 building 84 this is 9330 06:27:12,390 --> 06:27:08,958 approximately 15 minutes to 20 minutes 9331 06:27:13,830 --> 06:27:12,400 after the two paper boys saw the convoy 9332 06:27:16,868 --> 06:27:13,840 going down main street which you can 9333 06:27:19,190 --> 06:27:16,878 follow today now in the foreground 9334 06:27:20,868 --> 06:27:19,200 we've got a few bodies here 9335 06:27:23,190 --> 06:27:20,878 over to the left we've got the child 9336 06:27:25,750 --> 06:27:23,200 size casket that was confirmed by glenn 9337 06:27:27,830 --> 06:27:25,760 dennis who got the order for the child 9338 06:27:29,670 --> 06:27:27,840 size caskets from the base which is 9339 06:27:31,430 --> 06:27:29,680 interesting why if it's a weather 9340 06:27:33,990 --> 06:27:31,440 balloon why would you have child sized 9341 06:27:35,510 --> 06:27:34,000 cat that makes no sense whatsoever so 9342 06:27:38,468 --> 06:27:35,520 the weather balloon 9343 06:27:40,390 --> 06:27:38,478 explanation is is quickly deflating here 9344 06:27:42,468 --> 06:27:40,400 it's quickly bursting 9345 06:27:44,548 --> 06:27:42,478 uh off to the left we've got that troop 9346 06:27:45,990 --> 06:27:44,558 transport with debris and here's the 9347 06:27:48,390 --> 06:27:46,000 other thing 9348 06:27:51,910 --> 06:27:48,400 if this was a weather balloon 9349 06:27:54,948 --> 06:27:51,920 why would you have two teams of military 9350 06:27:57,350 --> 06:27:54,958 police uh from other uh 9351 06:27:59,670 --> 06:27:57,360 sections as well criss-crossing the 9352 06:28:01,750 --> 06:27:59,680 debris field for at least 9353 06:28:03,030 --> 06:28:01,760 two days on their hands and knees if 9354 06:28:06,468 --> 06:28:03,040 this is just a weather balloon that 9355 06:28:08,150 --> 06:28:06,478 doesn't make any sense now in the back 9356 06:28:10,390 --> 06:28:08,160 you've got the wooden crate that they're 9357 06:28:13,430 --> 06:28:10,400 building and they're going to put the 9358 06:28:15,350 --> 06:28:13,440 bodies in the caskets and the caskets go 9359 06:28:17,030 --> 06:28:15,360 in the wooden crate off to the right 9360 06:28:19,510 --> 06:28:17,040 you've got the 18 wheeler tractor 9361 06:28:22,150 --> 06:28:19,520 trailer with the craft on there on the 9362 06:28:25,510 --> 06:28:22,160 low blade now it's interesting to keep 9363 06:28:28,468 --> 06:28:25,520 in mind that by the time 9364 06:28:31,110 --> 06:28:28,478 we had the retrieval operation the 9365 06:28:33,990 --> 06:28:31,120 civilians got to i'm going to back up a 9366 06:28:37,910 --> 06:28:34,000 couple here civilians got here before 9367 06:28:40,468 --> 06:28:37,920 the military and so what that means is 9368 06:28:43,110 --> 06:28:40,478 to this day stephen i i'm be willing to 9369 06:28:45,510 --> 06:28:43,120 bet that there are still some people out 9370 06:28:47,670 --> 06:28:45,520 here relatives of people who got to the 9371 06:28:50,070 --> 06:28:47,680 debris field before 9372 06:28:51,030 --> 06:28:50,080 the military got involved and the crash 9373 06:28:52,708 --> 06:28:51,040 site 9374 06:28:54,310 --> 06:28:52,718 they picked up a souvenir and they still 9375 06:28:56,230 --> 06:28:54,320 have it today 9376 06:28:58,070 --> 06:28:56,240 i'm sure i would agree with you that 9377 06:28:59,670 --> 06:28:58,080 somebody's gotta have 9378 06:29:02,468 --> 06:28:59,680 i think that somebody's got this 9379 06:29:04,788 --> 06:29:02,478 material hidden away and after all these 9380 06:29:07,590 --> 06:29:04,798 years uh i don't believe that they were 9381 06:29:09,110 --> 06:29:07,600 able to get it all and and just to clear 9382 06:29:10,468 --> 06:29:09,120 up a little bit of confusion because 9383 06:29:13,350 --> 06:29:10,478 people are always confused by this 9384 06:29:14,868 --> 06:29:13,360 there's two separate debris 9385 06:29:16,628 --> 06:29:14,878 sites right there's the one where 9386 06:29:18,708 --> 06:29:16,638 everything was destroyed and it was 9387 06:29:20,468 --> 06:29:18,718 literal little pieces that they had to 9388 06:29:21,350 --> 06:29:20,478 pick up and then there was the second 9389 06:29:23,270 --> 06:29:21,360 site 9390 06:29:26,708 --> 06:29:23,280 with what some people believe was some 9391 06:29:29,270 --> 06:29:26,718 sort of escape pod or you know crew pod 9392 06:29:30,948 --> 06:29:29,280 that you're describing here but yeah i 9393 06:29:32,868 --> 06:29:30,958 would think that all those people 9394 06:29:34,948 --> 06:29:32,878 involved somebody would put some of that 9395 06:29:37,670 --> 06:29:34,958 in their pocket some of them would you 9396 06:29:40,150 --> 06:29:37,680 know spirit it away put it away because 9397 06:29:43,430 --> 06:29:40,160 this was a huge event like this could be 9398 06:29:45,830 --> 06:29:43,440 alien spacecraft parts yeah i would grab 9399 06:29:48,788 --> 06:29:45,840 some someone's got physical evidence 9400 06:29:51,350 --> 06:29:48,798 right now as we speak probably in the 9401 06:29:53,430 --> 06:29:51,360 roswell area or they might have handed 9402 06:29:55,110 --> 06:29:53,440 it to a relative or a cousin and then 9403 06:29:57,110 --> 06:29:55,120 they moved away but 9404 06:29:59,350 --> 06:29:57,120 you can bet your bottom dollar that 9405 06:30:01,830 --> 06:29:59,360 somebody has something 9406 06:30:03,670 --> 06:30:01,840 now they probably won't come forward it 9407 06:30:05,510 --> 06:30:03,680 might be a death wish because now you're 9408 06:30:06,230 --> 06:30:05,520 playing with the big boys 9409 06:30:07,590 --> 06:30:06,240 we 9410 06:30:09,270 --> 06:30:07,600 that's how 9411 06:30:11,190 --> 06:30:09,280 you can get in trouble when you have 9412 06:30:13,670 --> 06:30:11,200 physical evidence 9413 06:30:16,150 --> 06:30:13,680 because the way this game is played is 9414 06:30:18,150 --> 06:30:16,160 they don't care what you know 9415 06:30:20,070 --> 06:30:18,160 they care what you can prove that's how 9416 06:30:22,868 --> 06:30:20,080 this game is played and if you have a 9417 06:30:23,990 --> 06:30:22,878 piece of actual physical hardware now 9418 06:30:25,190 --> 06:30:24,000 you're in a completely different 9419 06:30:27,030 --> 06:30:25,200 category 9420 06:30:29,990 --> 06:30:27,040 so that's something to keep in mind and 9421 06:30:31,430 --> 06:30:30,000 so it we can we know why people haven't 9422 06:30:33,830 --> 06:30:31,440 come forward because it's a very 9423 06:30:35,030 --> 06:30:33,840 dangerous thing to do now let's keep in 9424 06:30:36,948 --> 06:30:35,040 mind 9425 06:30:39,590 --> 06:30:36,958 when this is all going on it was kind of 9426 06:30:41,830 --> 06:30:39,600 a chaotic situation you had multiple 9427 06:30:44,628 --> 06:30:41,840 things converging at the same time and 9428 06:30:47,030 --> 06:30:44,638 by this time the first body flight had 9429 06:30:50,230 --> 06:30:47,040 already departed roswell this was in a 9430 06:30:51,510 --> 06:30:50,240 c-54 by papi henderson the other body 9431 06:30:52,390 --> 06:30:51,520 flight that we're going to talk about 9432 06:30:55,030 --> 06:30:52,400 later 9433 06:30:57,190 --> 06:30:55,040 is the straight flush b29 so 9434 06:30:58,390 --> 06:30:57,200 by by this time we're preparing the 9435 06:31:00,708 --> 06:30:58,400 bodies for 9436 06:31:02,628 --> 06:31:00,718 getting out of here first body flight is 9437 06:31:04,390 --> 06:31:02,638 already gone went directly to right 9438 06:31:07,110 --> 06:31:04,400 field dayton ohio 9439 06:31:09,430 --> 06:31:07,120 okay so what they did next is they put 9440 06:31:11,990 --> 06:31:09,440 the bodies in the caskets the small 9441 06:31:14,230 --> 06:31:12,000 stature child-sized caskets 9442 06:31:16,548 --> 06:31:14,240 those cast skits were put into the 9443 06:31:19,670 --> 06:31:16,558 wooden crate and the wooden crate was 9444 06:31:21,670 --> 06:31:19,680 lowered into atomic bomb pit number one 9445 06:31:24,468 --> 06:31:21,680 and then they this is interesting they 9446 06:31:26,868 --> 06:31:24,478 put two perimeter screens around atomic 9447 06:31:29,750 --> 06:31:26,878 bomb pick number one with mp stationed 9448 06:31:32,390 --> 06:31:29,760 both inside and out of both rings and 9449 06:31:34,868 --> 06:31:32,400 these mps will were told to shoot to 9450 06:31:37,430 --> 06:31:34,878 kill anyone who tried to breach these 9451 06:31:40,390 --> 06:31:37,440 perimeter screens now i argue 9452 06:31:41,910 --> 06:31:40,400 how why in the world would you shoot to 9453 06:31:42,868 --> 06:31:41,920 kill someone 9454 06:31:45,990 --> 06:31:42,878 over a wedding 9455 06:31:48,708 --> 06:31:46,000 standing guard with a with a 9456 06:31:50,788 --> 06:31:48,718 wooden crate that reeks of decomposing 9457 06:31:53,190 --> 06:31:50,798 bodies if it's a weather balloon this 9458 06:31:55,430 --> 06:31:53,200 doesn't make any sense even if it's a 9459 06:31:56,868 --> 06:31:55,440 project mogul balloon it still doesn't 9460 06:31:58,708 --> 06:31:56,878 make any sense 9461 06:32:00,788 --> 06:31:58,718 yeah not [\h__\h] to kill and it would have 9462 06:32:03,350 --> 06:32:00,798 to be it would have to be something a 9463 06:32:05,190 --> 06:32:03,360 little more important and exotic than 9464 06:32:06,708 --> 06:32:05,200 weather balloon parts or radar 9465 06:32:09,030 --> 06:32:06,718 reflectors 9466 06:32:11,430 --> 06:32:09,040 precisely precisely that's exactly 9467 06:32:14,150 --> 06:32:11,440 correct all right so now 9468 06:32:16,788 --> 06:32:14,160 we're moving on this is b29 straight 9469 06:32:19,350 --> 06:32:16,798 flush taxis over atomic bomb pit number 9470 06:32:21,590 --> 06:32:19,360 one roswell army airfield wooden crate 9471 06:32:24,468 --> 06:32:21,600 loaded into cargo bay this is july 9th 9472 06:32:26,548 --> 06:32:24,478 1947 flown to 8th air force headquarters 9473 06:32:28,868 --> 06:32:26,558 fort worth texas so you can see they're 9474 06:32:30,628 --> 06:32:28,878 now bringing the crate up into the 9475 06:32:32,390 --> 06:32:30,638 bombay of the b-29 this is straight 9476 06:32:33,750 --> 06:32:32,400 flush and what's interesting about 9477 06:32:35,910 --> 06:32:33,760 straight flush is 9478 06:32:38,350 --> 06:32:35,920 if this story is true 9479 06:32:40,548 --> 06:32:38,360 if we really did recover 9480 06:32:43,590 --> 06:32:40,558 extraterrestrial bodies 9481 06:32:45,350 --> 06:32:43,600 why did they scrap this aircraft and 9482 06:32:47,910 --> 06:32:45,360 it's the most significant historically 9483 06:32:49,990 --> 06:32:47,920 significant aircraft in the world 9484 06:32:51,670 --> 06:32:50,000 and they they got rid of it this i don't 9485 06:32:53,670 --> 06:32:51,680 get it i don't understand the logic this 9486 06:32:56,548 --> 06:32:53,680 should be preserved for history if the 9487 06:32:58,390 --> 06:32:56,558 story i would agree yeah absolutely it's 9488 06:32:59,510 --> 06:32:58,400 it would be it would be one of the 9489 06:33:00,788 --> 06:32:59,520 biggest 9490 06:33:02,628 --> 06:33:00,798 it would be one of the most important 9491 06:33:05,350 --> 06:33:02,638 aircraft in aircraft history because it 9492 06:33:08,390 --> 06:33:05,360 would have flown these biological 9493 06:33:09,510 --> 06:33:08,400 bodies of otherworldly beings to ray 9494 06:33:11,190 --> 06:33:09,520 patterson 9495 06:33:12,468 --> 06:33:11,200 or i'm sorry this one was flown to air 9496 06:33:15,110 --> 06:33:12,478 force headquarters 9497 06:33:17,750 --> 06:33:15,120 for fort worth texas correct yep all 9498 06:33:19,830 --> 06:33:17,760 right so now b-29 straight flush flew 9499 06:33:23,510 --> 06:33:19,840 the roswell bodies to 8th air force fort 9500 06:33:26,070 --> 06:33:23,520 worth texas scrapped july 1954 so i just 9501 06:33:28,468 --> 06:33:26,080 i just can't get over the fact that this 9502 06:33:31,110 --> 06:33:28,478 is like the most significant 9503 06:33:33,750 --> 06:33:31,120 airplane in who i mean arguably more 9504 06:33:35,670 --> 06:33:33,760 significant than the right flyer that's 9505 06:33:37,350 --> 06:33:35,680 hanging from the smithsonian right now 9506 06:33:40,150 --> 06:33:37,360 the air space museum 9507 06:33:43,190 --> 06:33:40,160 this is even more significant than that 9508 06:33:44,948 --> 06:33:43,200 but yet it's gone okay well so this is 9509 06:33:47,430 --> 06:33:44,958 the model aircraft display at the 9510 06:33:49,910 --> 06:33:47,440 roswell air center and you can see all 9511 06:33:52,468 --> 06:33:49,920 these really nice aircraft here 9512 06:33:59,830 --> 06:33:52,478 but take a look on the top shelf here 9513 06:34:05,590 --> 06:34:02,708 85 and ladies and gentlemen this is all 9514 06:34:09,110 --> 06:34:05,600 we got left all we have left of the most 9515 06:34:10,868 --> 06:34:09,120 historic aircraft of all time is a scale 9516 06:34:13,030 --> 06:34:10,878 plastic model that's it that's all we've 9517 06:34:14,788 --> 06:34:13,040 got they absolutely should have 9518 06:34:17,270 --> 06:34:14,798 preserved this it should have went to 9519 06:34:19,270 --> 06:34:17,280 the air force museum in dayton ohio and 9520 06:34:22,230 --> 06:34:19,280 they they wouldn't need to say what the 9521 06:34:23,750 --> 06:34:22,240 cargo was people in the know would know 9522 06:34:26,070 --> 06:34:23,760 but at the very least they could have 9523 06:34:28,708 --> 06:34:26,080 saved it for us 9524 06:34:31,670 --> 06:34:28,718 yeah and even even forget about roswell 9525 06:34:33,910 --> 06:34:31,680 even just the history of 9526 06:34:35,990 --> 06:34:33,920 the nuclear and atomic arsenal of the 9527 06:34:38,390 --> 06:34:36,000 united states it was involved in that as 9528 06:34:40,070 --> 06:34:38,400 well so it should be preserved it should 9529 06:34:40,948 --> 06:34:40,080 be preserved that's correct that's 9530 06:34:43,190 --> 06:34:40,958 correct 9531 06:34:46,070 --> 06:34:43,200 okay so here's the uh 9532 06:34:49,030 --> 06:34:46,080 nose art straight flush 9533 06:34:51,430 --> 06:34:49,040 and then we should talk about the c 54 9534 06:34:54,230 --> 06:34:51,440 now at least two bodies were flown 9535 06:34:56,868 --> 06:34:54,240 directly from roswell airfield to right 9536 06:34:58,948 --> 06:34:56,878 field dayton ohio it was not known as 9537 06:35:00,948 --> 06:34:58,958 wright-patterson air force base yet it 9538 06:35:04,948 --> 06:35:00,958 was still known as right field and this 9539 06:35:06,230 --> 06:35:04,958 was flown by pappy henderson uh 9540 06:35:08,948 --> 06:35:06,240 who was a 9541 06:35:10,310 --> 06:35:08,958 good good very good pilot 9542 06:35:13,750 --> 06:35:10,320 his 9543 06:35:16,390 --> 06:35:13,760 uh wife sappho had confirmed that he had 9544 06:35:17,750 --> 06:35:16,400 told her the story later on so we got a 9545 06:35:19,910 --> 06:35:17,760 kind of a second independent 9546 06:35:21,990 --> 06:35:19,920 confirmation there and this is a drawing 9547 06:35:24,468 --> 06:35:22,000 by my friend rudy gardea and here we've 9548 06:35:26,868 --> 06:35:24,478 got pappy henderson overseeing the 9549 06:35:29,190 --> 06:35:26,878 loading of the body 9550 06:35:31,190 --> 06:35:29,200 into the c54 9551 06:35:33,270 --> 06:35:31,200 so we just wanted to kind of yeah and 9552 06:35:35,350 --> 06:35:33,280 just just to be clear this is an on the 9553 06:35:37,750 --> 06:35:35,360 record witness who gave his testimony 9554 06:35:39,350 --> 06:35:37,760 that this is what he witnessed he he 9555 06:35:41,910 --> 06:35:39,360 went on the record to say this is what 9556 06:35:43,670 --> 06:35:41,920 he witnessed and he flew this 9557 06:35:46,390 --> 06:35:43,680 where he flew it i mean 9558 06:35:49,150 --> 06:35:46,400 he he told his wife sappho 9559 06:35:51,350 --> 06:35:49,160 uh years later sometime around 9560 06:35:53,190 --> 06:35:51,360 1983-86 time frame 9561 06:35:54,390 --> 06:35:53,200 when they saw it on the supermarket 9562 06:35:55,510 --> 06:35:54,400 checkout 9563 06:35:57,670 --> 06:35:55,520 so 9564 06:36:00,150 --> 06:35:57,680 you know it's it all really boils down 9565 06:36:01,910 --> 06:36:00,160 to eyewitness testimony in many cases 9566 06:36:04,310 --> 06:36:01,920 when we don't have physical evidence how 9567 06:36:07,590 --> 06:36:04,320 much do you trust your fellow man your 9568 06:36:09,270 --> 06:36:07,600 fellow woman your fellow uh library 9569 06:36:11,510 --> 06:36:09,280 research assistant 9570 06:36:13,670 --> 06:36:11,520 uh reference librarian how how much do 9571 06:36:15,830 --> 06:36:13,680 we actually trust these people 9572 06:36:18,070 --> 06:36:15,840 i i just don't think that 9573 06:36:20,468 --> 06:36:18,080 happy henderson would would be promoting 9574 06:36:22,310 --> 06:36:20,478 a lie i mean is it ace 9575 06:36:24,070 --> 06:36:22,320 this has always bothered me when the 9576 06:36:25,510 --> 06:36:24,080 skeptics say well you know so these 9577 06:36:27,830 --> 06:36:25,520 people said these things doesn't mean 9578 06:36:30,468 --> 06:36:27,840 it's true or they made it up or they're 9579 06:36:33,430 --> 06:36:30,478 trying this guy has not really profited 9580 06:36:34,868 --> 06:36:33,440 from his story i always follow the money 9581 06:36:36,708 --> 06:36:34,878 you know if somebody's coming out with a 9582 06:36:39,110 --> 06:36:36,718 fantastical story and then they're all 9583 06:36:40,830 --> 06:36:39,120 over you know at ufo conferences telling 9584 06:36:43,430 --> 06:36:40,840 their story over and over again for 9585 06:36:45,350 --> 06:36:43,440 money that doesn't hold as much weight 9586 06:36:47,510 --> 06:36:45,360 to me as some of these roswell witnesses 9587 06:36:49,430 --> 06:36:47,520 who right years later came out with 9588 06:36:51,350 --> 06:36:49,440 their story it just 9589 06:36:52,788 --> 06:36:51,360 i i don't believe that this guy would 9590 06:36:55,030 --> 06:36:52,798 just make this up 9591 06:36:57,510 --> 06:36:55,040 for for what reason correct 9592 06:36:58,948 --> 06:36:57,520 the advantage really you know what would 9593 06:37:00,788 --> 06:36:58,958 be the advantage okay then of course 9594 06:37:03,110 --> 06:37:00,798 we've got the uh 9595 06:37:05,510 --> 06:37:03,120 autopsy that perhaps took place in the 9596 06:37:07,670 --> 06:37:05,520 foreign technology division right field 9597 06:37:10,628 --> 06:37:07,680 dayton ohio this is sometime july 9th 9598 06:37:12,628 --> 06:37:10,638 1947. we do not know the exact date so 9599 06:37:13,510 --> 06:37:12,638 that's kind of the sight picture here 9600 06:37:15,990 --> 06:37:13,520 but 9601 06:37:19,030 --> 06:37:16,000 what i want to do is i want to present 9602 06:37:21,350 --> 06:37:19,040 what what is the best available 9603 06:37:24,948 --> 06:37:21,360 witness testimony that we have that we 9604 06:37:27,510 --> 06:37:24,958 can really drill down and and really 9605 06:37:29,110 --> 06:37:27,520 trust someone reliable someone that's 9606 06:37:30,948 --> 06:37:29,120 documented well 9607 06:37:33,910 --> 06:37:30,958 we have something 9608 06:37:35,430 --> 06:37:33,920 in the form of mr marion black mac 9609 06:37:38,390 --> 06:37:35,440 magruder 9610 06:37:40,548 --> 06:37:38,400 and he was a world war ii pilot he was a 9611 06:37:41,590 --> 06:37:40,558 fantastic pilot he was deployed to 9612 06:37:44,868 --> 06:37:41,600 england 9613 06:37:47,590 --> 06:37:44,878 february 6 1943 to learn about night 9614 06:37:49,510 --> 06:37:47,600 fighting now prior to this time america 9615 06:37:51,270 --> 06:37:49,520 didn't know a thing about night fighting 9616 06:37:53,990 --> 06:37:51,280 so they had sent 9617 06:37:55,590 --> 06:37:54,000 marrying magruder over to england to 9618 06:37:58,708 --> 06:37:55,600 learn about knight fighting come back to 9619 06:38:01,350 --> 06:37:58,718 the us and then teach u.s pilots and 9620 06:38:03,350 --> 06:38:01,360 military personnel exactly how to go 9621 06:38:05,590 --> 06:38:03,360 about night fighting because we 9622 06:38:07,430 --> 06:38:05,600 the britons are the ones who invented 9623 06:38:09,830 --> 06:38:07,440 the radar before the germans and 9624 06:38:12,390 --> 06:38:09,840 americans and so we had to get kind of 9625 06:38:14,070 --> 06:38:12,400 an intel so that we would know how to do 9626 06:38:16,230 --> 06:38:14,080 it and so they said yeah isn't it isn't 9627 06:38:18,390 --> 06:38:16,240 it accurate that because because in 9628 06:38:20,948 --> 06:38:18,400 england there was all those uh german 9629 06:38:24,070 --> 06:38:20,958 bombing raids at night they got to be 9630 06:38:26,310 --> 06:38:24,080 quickly got to be experts at repelling 9631 06:38:27,350 --> 06:38:26,320 you know invading forces and dogfighting 9632 06:38:28,628 --> 06:38:27,360 at night 9633 06:38:30,548 --> 06:38:28,638 and these things so it makes sense that 9634 06:38:32,788 --> 06:38:30,558 we would send our pilots to the experts 9635 06:38:35,590 --> 06:38:32,798 to learn it exactly that's precisely 9636 06:38:38,150 --> 06:38:35,600 correct so here he is air war college 9637 06:38:39,750 --> 06:38:38,160 1947 1948 9638 06:38:43,670 --> 06:38:39,760 and then if i want to take you to 9639 06:38:46,468 --> 06:38:43,680 montgomery field this is alabama now 9640 06:38:50,150 --> 06:38:46,478 he was at the air war college in april 9641 06:38:52,708 --> 06:38:50,160 of 1948 and a very interesting call came 9642 06:38:55,510 --> 06:38:52,718 in because this was about two groups of 9643 06:38:57,670 --> 06:38:55,520 18 world war ii pilots the best of the 9644 06:39:01,030 --> 06:38:57,680 best went to montgomery field this is 9645 06:39:03,030 --> 06:39:01,040 april 1948 a strange call 9646 06:39:05,590 --> 06:39:03,040 came in from right field 9647 06:39:06,628 --> 06:39:05,600 right patterson air force base 9648 06:39:09,270 --> 06:39:06,638 and 9649 06:39:10,628 --> 06:39:09,280 it was urgent they needed to go to 9650 06:39:12,628 --> 06:39:10,638 wright patterson air force base 9651 06:39:14,548 --> 06:39:12,638 immediately so that there was a plane 9652 06:39:15,510 --> 06:39:14,558 was provided for them they all got on 9653 06:39:16,788 --> 06:39:15,520 the plane 9654 06:39:19,510 --> 06:39:16,798 and they wanted to get their 9655 06:39:21,350 --> 06:39:19,520

06:39:29,350 --> 06:39:26,798 air war college maxwell field montgomery 9659 06:39:30,390 --> 06:39:29,360 alabama 1948 just to give a sight 9660 06:39:31,990 --> 06:39:30,400 picture here 9661 06:39:34,868 --> 06:39:32,000 and then we've got right patterson air 9662 06:39:37,270 --> 06:39:34,878 force base april 1948 and this is the 9663 06:39:39,350 --> 06:39:37,280 subject of where we're gonna drill down 9664 06:39:41,990 --> 06:39:39,360 now so what happened is 9665 06:39:43,750 --> 06:39:42,000 they were brought to wright-patterson 9666 06:39:47,190 --> 06:39:43,760 air force base 9667 06:39:49,750 --> 06:39:47,200 this is according to mark magruder his 9668 06:39:52,868 --> 06:39:49,760 son so i did about a two hour interview 9669 06:39:54,948 --> 06:39:52,878 with mark magruder and he provided the 9670 06:39:56,868 --> 06:39:54,958 notes from his father 9671 06:39:58,548 --> 06:39:56,878 where they talked about a very 9672 06:40:01,030 --> 06:39:58,558 interesting encounter now so you can 9673 06:40:03,030 --> 06:40:01,040 picture there's two teams of world war 9674 06:40:04,548 --> 06:40:03,040 ii pilots they fly them to wright 9675 06:40:05,910 -->

feeling it they're 9687 06:40:28,468 --> 06:40:27,680 wondering where where actually it came 9688 06:40:30,708 --> 06:40:28,478 from 9689 06:40:33,190 --> 06:40:30,718 what its properties were now

06:41:04,160 and what they ended up seeing 9706 06:41:09,430 --> 06:41:05,920 was the survivor 9707 06:41:11,990 --> 06:41:09,440 so here's the survivor april 1948 9708 06:41:13,910 --> 06:41:12,000

on here quote it was not like 9816 06:45:33,670 --> 06:45:30,400 the aliens depicted on tv except for a 9817 06:45:35,910 --> 06:45:33,680 large head instead of gray in color this 9818 06:45:38,390 --> 06:45:35,920 being was more flesh-toned wearing a 9819 06:45:41,190 --> 06:45:38,400 flight suit human-like but not like any 9820 06:45:43,350 --> 06:45:41,200 human being i have ever seen squiggly 9821 06:45:44,468 --> 06:45:43,360 clearly not from this planet he goes on 9822 06:45:47,430 --> 06:45:44,478 here quote 9823 06:45:49,430 --> 06:45:47,440 they were all small in stature so there 9824 06:45:51,910 --> 06:45:49,440 you go right there he used the word they 9825 06:45:54,230 --> 06:45:51,920 so that's more than one humanoid 9826 06:45:56,788 --> 06:45:54,240 somewhat asian looking clearly they were 9827 06:45:58,948 --> 06:45:56,798 not of this world we all knew they were 9828 06:46:01,190 --> 06:45:58,958 not of this world they had extra long 9829 06:46:02,390 --> 06:46:01,200 digits with suction cups at the end of 9830 06:46:05,110 --> 06:46:02,400 their fingers 9831 06:46:07,510 --> 06:46:05,120 their arms were this and long 9832 06:46:10,230 --> 06:46:07,520 out of proportion longer than human 9833 06:46:12,150 --> 06:46:10,240 their elbows were a lot further down 9834 06:46:14,468 --> 06:46:12,160 they were like little children without 9835 06:46:16,468 --> 06:46:14,478 any hair about four feet tall 9836 06:46:18,708 --> 06:46:16,478 they had almond shaped eyes a little 9837 06:46:22,390 --> 06:46:18,718 larger than human the mouth was just a 9838 06:46:24,150 --> 06:46:22,400 small slit not much of a nose no ears 9839 06:46:25,430 --> 06:46:24,160 like some of the drawings 9840 06:46:27,750 --> 06:46:25,440 and then i thought this was very 9841 06:46:30,230 --> 06:46:27,760 interesting quote they all think the 9842 06:46:32,628 --> 06:46:30,240 bodies are at wright-patterson air force 9843 06:46:35,350 --> 06:46:32,638 base but they are at eglin air force 9844 06:46:37,190 --> 06:46:35,360 base in vast underground cold storage 9845 06:46:39,510 --> 06:46:37,200 vaults their statement after watching a 9846 06:46:40,948 --> 06:46:39,520 documentary about roswell so he was 9847 06:46:42,230 --> 06:46:40,958 privy to the fact oh yeah that's 9848 06:46:44,070 --> 06:46:42,240 interesting there was definitely 9849 06:46:45,750 --> 06:46:44,080 something at right field but that's not 9850 06:46:47,990 --> 06:46:45,760 the only location there was something 9851 06:46:50,548 --> 06:46:48,000 going on at eglin air force base with 9852 06:46:52,868 --> 06:46:50,558 bodies and then we've got pretty much 9853 06:46:55,670 --> 06:46:52,878 confirming evidence indicating that 9854 06:46:58,310 --> 06:46:55,680 other repositories for ufo crash 9855 06:47:00,628 --> 06:46:58,320 retrievals and bodies are at the very 9856 06:47:03,190 --> 06:47:00,638 least mcdill air force base tampa 9857 06:47:05,510 --> 06:47:03,200 florida langley air force base virginia 9858 06:47:07,750 --> 06:47:05,520 and homestead air force base florida as 9859 06:47:10,150 --> 06:47:07,760 well so you can see that they spread 9860 06:47:11,670 --> 06:47:10,160 these assets out so they don't have 9861 06:47:12,948 --> 06:47:11,680 single point failure 9862 06:47:14,468 --> 06:47:12,958 what would make sense wasn't it that 9863 06:47:15,670 --> 06:47:14,478 they would first 9864 06:47:18,230 --> 06:47:15,680 when this event happened they would 9865 06:47:19,830 --> 06:47:18,240 first take it to a very secure location 9866 06:47:22,310 --> 06:47:19,840 first before they figure out where the 9867 06:47:24,628 --> 06:47:22,320 final destination is going to be and yes 9868 06:47:25,510 --> 06:47:24,638 spreading it out so that they have you 9869 06:47:28,150 --> 06:47:25,520 know 9870 06:47:31,190 --> 06:47:28,160 they don't lose the uh they don't lose 9871 06:47:32,868 --> 06:47:31,200 the samples of these biological entities 9872 06:47:35,190 --> 06:47:32,878 i would want to spread them out as well 9873 06:47:36,390 --> 06:47:35,200 send one to each if you have five bodies 9874 06:47:38,468 --> 06:47:36,400 send one to 9875 06:47:40,708 --> 06:47:38,478 send send them to five different bases 9876 06:47:42,628 --> 06:47:40,718 so that we preserve them 9877 06:47:44,230 --> 06:47:42,638 and isn't it interesting 9878 06:47:45,590 --> 06:47:44,240 some of them may have went to florida 9879 06:47:47,750 --> 06:47:45,600 because there's isn't there's that 9880 06:47:49,510 --> 06:47:47,760 famous story of jackie gleason 9881 06:47:51,590 --> 06:47:49,520 homestead air force base we've got 9882 06:47:52,788 --> 06:47:51,600 outside air force base yeah he claimed 9883 06:47:54,310 --> 06:47:52,798 that 9884 06:47:55,270 --> 06:47:54,320 jackie gleason claimed to have seen an 9885 06:47:57,670 --> 06:47:55,280 alien 9886 06:47:59,190 --> 06:47:57,680 in an air force base 9887 06:48:00,708 --> 06:47:59,200 and he was so upset he couldn't eat for 9888 06:48:02,390 --> 06:48:00,718 weeks 9889 06:48:04,708 --> 06:48:02,400 he was a changed man he was a changed 9890 06:48:06,948 --> 06:48:04,718 man that's correct that's correct 9891 06:48:09,430 --> 06:48:06,958 all right so then let's go to this uh 9892 06:48:10,868 --> 06:48:09,440 southwest soaring museum so if you go to 9893 06:48:12,708 --> 06:48:10,878 roswell there's a couple ways you can 9894 06:48:15,750 --> 06:48:12,718 get there you can fly into albuquerque 9895 06:48:16,868 --> 06:48:15,760 drive 200 miles or you can fly directly 9896 06:48:19,510 --> 06:48:16,878 into 9897 06:48:22,390 --> 06:48:19,520 the maintenance center the air center at 9898 06:48:25,030 --> 06:48:22,400 roswell and then drive six miles and get 9899 06:48:26,708 --> 06:48:25,040 there so it's a lot easier to go the uh 9900 06:48:27,670 --> 06:48:26,718 shorter route but i took the longer 9901 06:48:29,750 --> 06:48:27,680 route 9902 06:48:31,670 --> 06:48:29,760 and maybe it's good i did because i got 9903 06:48:33,110 --> 06:48:31,680 to the soaring museum 9904 06:48:34,948 --> 06:48:33,120 and i just hit you with a couple 9905 06:48:35,430 --> 06:48:34,958 photographs 9906 06:48:37,590 --> 06:48:35,440 we've here 9907 06:48:39,910 --> 06:48:37,600 we've got some kind of uh tapping going 9908 06:48:42,390 --> 06:48:39,920 on just to be aware of okay somebody in 9909 06:48:44,310 --> 06:48:42,400 the live chat mentioned no problem so 9910 06:48:45,830 --> 06:48:44,320 they've got uh conventional designs 9911 06:48:47,750 --> 06:48:45,840 they've got home built designs they've 9912 06:48:48,948 --> 06:48:47,760 got foreign designs 9913 06:48:51,110 --> 06:48:48,958 and uh 9914 06:48:53,030 --> 06:48:51,120 i was there for about half an hour 9915 06:48:54,948 --> 06:48:53,040 before they closed the guy let me in and 9916 06:48:57,670 --> 06:48:54,958 i just wanted to take a a couple of 9917 06:48:58,628 --> 06:48:57,680 quick pictures here just to document it 9918 06:48:59,830 --> 06:48:58,638 but 9919 06:49:01,830 --> 06:48:59,840 interesting 9920 06:49:05,030 --> 06:49:01,840 that there's a very 9921 06:49:07,190 --> 06:49:05,040 interesting antique auto and toy museum 9922 06:49:09,350 --> 06:49:07,200 literally a thousand feet away from this 9923 06:49:11,830 --> 06:49:09,360 uh sailplane museum 9924 06:49:13,830 --> 06:49:11,840 and they were closing in ten minutes 9925 06:49:15,590 --> 06:49:13,840 and i just said can i look through this 9926 06:49:17,910 --> 06:49:15,600 really quickly i'll be very quick and 9927 06:49:19,270 --> 06:49:17,920 they let me go through i'll take you 9928 06:49:20,948 --> 06:49:19,280 through a couple of the pictures here 9929 06:49:23,270 --> 06:49:20,958 here's some of the toys they had on the 9930 06:49:25,670 --> 06:49:23,280 wall nothing was for sale they had some 9931 06:49:27,590 --> 06:49:25,680 old vintage cars on the interior and 9932 06:49:30,548 --> 06:49:27,600 then they had dozens and dozens and 9933 06:49:33,190 --> 06:49:30,558 dozens of these old rusty hulks model 9934 06:49:35,590 --> 06:49:33,200 t's model a's they have trucks 9935 06:49:38,708 --> 06:49:35,600 some of them probably could be restored 9936 06:49:41,190 --> 06:49:38,718 and so of course uh since i was going to 9937 06:49:43,030 --> 06:49:41,200 roswell i asked this gentleman who was 9938 06:49:44,708 --> 06:49:43,040 kind of the curator here his name was 9939 06:49:46,948 --> 06:49:44,718 archie lewis 9940 06:49:48,548 --> 06:49:46,958 i said well are the rumors true 9941 06:49:50,708 --> 06:49:48,558 and he said what rumors and i said well 9942 06:49:53,670 --> 06:49:50,718 the rumors about roswell what was a 9943 06:49:56,310 --> 06:49:53,680 craft recovered where bodies recovered 9944 06:50:00,468 --> 06:49:56,320 and i got this guy on videotape and what 9945 06:50:02,708 --> 06:50:00,478 he told me is he said in 1947 like on 9946 06:50:04,628 --> 06:50:02,718 the literal same day 9947 06:50:07,350 --> 06:50:04,638 that this event occurred which was the 9948 06:50:10,468 --> 06:50:07,360 night of july 2nd 1947 9949 06:50:13,030 --> 06:50:10,478 his sister now deceased was riding 9950 06:50:15,910 --> 06:50:13,040 horseback with two other friends and 9951 06:50:17,990 --> 06:50:15,920 they were in a van 9952 06:50:20,628 --> 06:50:18,000 new mexico which is about 100 miles 9953 06:50:23,110 --> 06:50:20,638 north of roswell riding horseback and 9954 06:50:26,230 --> 06:50:23,120 all of a sudden the strange craft came 9955 06:50:28,548 --> 06:50:26,240 by them did one complete orbit around 9956 06:50:31,270 --> 06:50:28,558 and then departed and and he said that 9957 06:50:33,670 --> 06:50:31,280 they were shook into their core 9958 06:50:35,510 --> 06:50:33,680 they were absolutely terrified of 9959 06:50:37,270 --> 06:50:35,520 whatever this thing was now 9960 06:50:39,750 --> 06:50:37,280 technically i can't prove it was the 9961 06:50:42,548 --> 06:50:39,760 same crap but it's it's in going in the 9962 06:50:43,430 --> 06:50:42,558 same direction it's the same day 9963 06:50:45,830 --> 06:50:43,440 uh 9964 06:50:48,230 --> 06:50:45,840 they didn't describe it in great detail 9965 06:50:50,708 --> 06:50:48,240 but there's a very high likelihood that 9966 06:50:53,270 --> 06:50:50,718 this was the same crap so we've got 9967 06:50:56,150 --> 06:50:53,280 independent confirmation 9968 06:50:58,070 --> 06:50:56,160 of another ufo which could be the exact 9969 06:51:01,430 --> 06:50:58,080 same craft that crashed 9970 06:51:03,110 --> 06:51:01,440 100 miles north of roswell on its way 9971 06:51:05,110 --> 06:51:03,120 to the crash site 9972 06:51:06,788 --> 06:51:05,120 so it's just an interesting data point 9973 06:51:08,788 --> 06:51:06,798 that i don't think most people have have 9974 06:51:10,708 --> 06:51:08,798 really heard about and again if this is 9975 06:51:11,670 --> 06:51:10,718 a weather balloon how does a weather 9976 06:51:13,990 --> 06:51:11,680 balloon 9977 06:51:16,310 --> 06:51:14,000 make a controlled descent in orbit 9978 06:51:18,948 --> 06:51:16,320 around three girls on horseback that 9979 06:51:20,868 --> 06:51:18,958 doesn't make any sense so just a little 9980 06:51:22,948 --> 06:51:20,878 piece of the puzzle here 9981 06:51:24,548 --> 06:51:22,958 here is the map of van 9982 06:51:26,390 --> 06:51:24,558 and then you can see it's about 100 9983 06:51:28,468 --> 06:51:26,400 miles north of roswell so that just 9984 06:51:30,548 --> 06:51:28,478 gives you a location it was definitely 9985 06:51:34,390 --> 06:51:30,558 heading in the right direction 9986 06:51:36,230 --> 06:51:34,400 okay this is kind of a a quick 9987 06:51:38,390 --> 06:51:36,240 flyer that i put together 9988 06:51:39,990 --> 06:51:38,400 and because i was heading to roswell and 9989 06:51:41,270 --> 06:51:40,000 i thought

06:57:02,958 actually laid the bodies down on the 10132 06:57:07,430 --> 06:57:05,600 floor it's a very interesting vibe you 10133 06:57:09,350 --> 06:57:07,440 get from this place and 10134 06:57:11,750 --> 06:57:09,360 if you make the right connections you 10135 06:57:13,830 --> 06:57:11,760 can make an appointment with the 10136 06:57:15,990 --> 06:57:13,840 uh the director of the

so now 10140 06:57:21,990 --> 06:57:21,200 we'll go inside this is the location 10141 06:57:24,150 --> 06:57:22,000 here 10142 06:57:27,030 --> 06:57:24,160 and this building he told me was only 10143 06:57:29,430 --> 06:57:27,040 supposed to be there for 10 years 10144 06:57:31,110 --> 06:57:29,440 these are the original rafters 10145 06:57:32,708 --> 06:57:31,120 the original structure they did at a 10146 06:57:34,468 --> 06:57:32,718 notch cut out 10147 06:57:36,548 --> 06:57:34,478 but this building is still in good shape 10148 06:57:40,230 --> 06:57:36,558 after all these years 10149 06:57:42,230 --> 06:57:40,240 the building still stands 10150 06:57:44,310 --> 06:57:42,240 and here's the reverse side of it here 10151 06:57:46,948 --> 06:57:44,320 this would be the area where the uh 10152 06:57:49,190 --> 06:57:46,958 18-wheeler tractor trailer came in 10153 06:57:51,270 --> 06:57:49,200 and then now we're going to where we 10154 06:57:54,070 --> 06:57:51,280 believe the crate was built where the 10155 06:57:56,628 --> 06:57:54,080 caskets were and i want to take you 10156 06:57:57,910 --> 06:57:56,638 this is the location here where we 10157 06:57:59,990 --> 06:57:57,920 believe 10158 06:58:01,990 --> 06:58:00,000 probably plus or minus six feet maybe a 10159 06:58:04,230 --> 06:58:02,000 foot at the most where 10160 06:58:05,750 --> 06:58:04,240 probably four bodies were laid out on 10161 06:58:07,590 --> 06:58:05,760 the floor 10162 06:58:09,750 --> 06:58:07,600 um the survivor 10163 06:58:11,990 --> 06:58:09,760 was kept somewhere else but 10164 06:58:14,548 --> 06:58:12,000 this is the location right here and it's 10165 06:58:16,708 --> 06:58:14,558 it's a strange vibe it kind of gives you 10166 06:58:19,030 --> 06:58:16,718 a sense of history but 10167 06:58:21,110 --> 06:58:19,040 if all things are created and we believe 10168 06:58:23,350 --> 06:58:21,120 that this is the location this is the 10169 06:58:25,830 --> 06:58:23,360 actual position of where the bodies were 10170 06:58:27,830 --> 06:58:25,840 were laid down on the floor now take you 10171 06:58:30,708 --> 06:58:27,840 through kind of the the center here we 10172 06:58:32,548 --> 06:58:30,718 could not find the atomic bomb pits 10173 06:58:34,948 --> 06:58:32,558 where they lowered the crate in uh that 10174 06:58:36,310 --> 06:58:34,958 was paved over so we couldn't find that 10175 06:58:37,830 --> 06:58:36,320 location 10176 06:58:39,510 --> 06:58:37,840 and well with standard reason that they 10177 06:58:41,350 --> 06:58:39,520 would pave over it they don't need those 10178 06:58:42,230 --> 06:58:41,360 pits in order they don't need those 10179 06:58:44,468 --> 06:58:42,240 bombs 10180 06:58:47,190 --> 06:58:44,478 so we could not find those 10181 06:58:49,990 --> 06:58:47,200 but they've got various 747s they've got 10182 06:58:53,670 --> 06:58:50,000 l-1011 they've got dc tens 10183 06:58:55,590 --> 06:58:53,680 in various stages of being scrapped and 10184 06:58:58,390 --> 06:58:55,600 saving some of the components 10185 06:59:02,548 --> 06:58:58,400 here you can see united airlines 10186 06:59:04,468 --> 06:59:02,558 now that takes us to elvis presley 10187 06:59:06,868 --> 06:59:04,478 what what in the world does elvis 10188 06:59:08,788 --> 06:59:06,878 presley had to do with roswell i mean is 10189 06:59:11,430 --> 06:59:08,798 this a joke here what in the world does 10190 06:59:12,788 --> 06:59:11,440 he have to do with anything well turns 10191 06:59:15,190 --> 06:59:12,798 out 10192 06:59:18,548 --> 06:59:15,200 that elvis jet 10193 06:59:20,868 --> 06:59:18,558 is still there i saw this i saw an art i 10194 06:59:23,190 --> 06:59:20,878 saw several articles on this it's sad 10195 06:59:25,190 --> 06:59:23,200 because what a beautiful airplane yeah 10196 06:59:27,030 --> 06:59:25,200 it's still there today i went up and 10197 06:59:30,070 --> 06:59:27,040 touched it it was cold but 10198 06:59:33,670 --> 06:59:30,080 uh the paint is faded it's kind of got 10199 06:59:35,430 --> 06:59:33,680 opaque uh windshields so the tires are 10200 06:59:37,350 --> 06:59:35,440 flat it's got the weeds growing up 10201 06:59:39,990 --> 06:59:37,360 through the cracks it's kind of got this 10202 06:59:42,788 --> 06:59:40,000 ghostly appeal though it does yeah with 10203 06:59:45,110 --> 06:59:42,798 20 30 years of sun of sun you know 10204 06:59:46,708 --> 06:59:45,120 drenched damage oh yeah and raining on 10205 06:59:47,750 --> 06:59:46,718 it we'll probably do that to any 10206 06:59:49,990 --> 06:59:47,760 airplane 10207 06:59:52,868 --> 06:59:50,000 it's sad that they didn't preserve this 10208 06:59:55,030 --> 06:59:52,878 better yep now 10209 06:59:57,190 --> 06:59:55,040 i don't know if it could be salvaged to 10210 06:59:59,270 --> 06:59:57,200 fly again it would take millions but 10211 07:00:02,310 --> 06:59:59,280 it's maybe it's possible depending on 10212 07:00:04,708 --> 07:00:02,320 the structure integrity of the uh the 10213 07:00:06,070 --> 07:00:04,718 spars but uh it's possible and so i 10214 07:00:08,468 --> 07:00:06,080 asked the guy 10215 07:00:09,830 --> 07:00:08,478 what do you think did did elvis know 10216 07:00:12,390 --> 07:00:09,840 anything about it 10217 07:00:15,670 --> 07:00:12,400 and he told me that 10218 07:00:18,230 --> 07:00:15,680 with elvis's international connections 10219 07:00:21,110 --> 07:00:18,240 and his very good friendship 10220 07:00:23,190 --> 07:00:21,120 with richard nixon it's possible 10221 07:00:26,150 --> 07:00:23,200 that elvis knew something about roswell 10222 07:00:28,548 --> 07:00:26,160 but he never admitted to it so i guess 10223 07:00:30,548 --> 07:00:28,558 this question's still out there 10224 07:00:31,990 --> 07:00:30,558 he could know something about it there 10225 07:00:33,750 --> 07:00:32,000 there might be there might have been 10226 07:00:35,430 --> 07:00:33,760 something there that that he knew but he 10227 07:00:37,270 --> 07:00:35,440 certainly never told anybody that we 10228 07:00:39,110 --> 07:00:37,280 know of anyway 10229 07:00:40,868 --> 07:00:39,120 interesting so there's a there's a 10230 07:00:43,670 --> 07:00:40,878 little bit of an elvis connection here 10231 07:00:45,030 --> 07:00:43,680 now if you go to the roswell ufo museum 10232 07:00:47,030 --> 07:00:45,040 and library 10233 07:00:50,548 --> 07:00:47,040 this is a kind of a view inside the 10234 07:00:53,590 --> 07:00:50,558 library and then these are the about 200 10235 07:00:55,190 --> 07:00:53,600 bank boxes of material uh and they also 10236 07:00:57,030 --> 07:00:55,200 have these are kind of the shots here 10237 07:01:00,070 --> 07:00:57,040 it's it's a good they did a really good 10238 07:01:03,430 -->

this 10253 07:01:37,350 --> 07:01:35,200 final revised 10254 07:01:39,990 --> 07:01:37,360 and i'm just going to run through a 10255 07:01:41,590 --> 07:01:40,000 couple of points here now this is kind 10256 07:01:44,230 --> 07:01:41,600 of uh 10257 07:01:46,708 --> 07:01:44,240 the questions i want to ask here 10258 07:01:48,230 --> 07:01:46,718 okay so i'm going to run through these 10259 07:01:50,708 --> 07:01:48,240 really quickly here 10260 07:01:52,628 --> 07:01:50,718 the roswell why questions this is what 10261 07:01:55,270 --> 07:01:52,638 i've titled this here 10262 07:01:57,350 --> 07:01:55,280 why were official government documents 10263 07:02:00,070 --> 07:01:57,360 relating to roswell army airfield in 10264 07:02:02,230 --> 07:02:00,080 1947 destroyed 10265 07:02:04,468 --> 07:02:02,240 that's interesting all right destroy all 10266 07:02:06,150 --> 07:02:04,478 these documents yeah and i would think i 10267 07:02:07,430 --> 07:02:06,160 would think just the fact that they were 10268 07:02:09,990 --> 07:02:07,440 the only 10269 07:02:12,070 --> 07:02:10,000 military base with nuclear with atomic 10270 07:02:13,990 --> 07:02:12,080 weapons at the time right 10271 07:02:16,070 --> 07:02:14,000 everything should be preserved from that 10272 07:02:20,548 --> 07:02:16,080 for the sake of history 10273 07:02:22,548 --> 07:02:20,558 the alien stuff forget the roswell crash 10274 07:02:25,270 --> 07:02:22,558 just the fact that they the 10275 07:02:27,430 --> 07:02:25,280 that bomb wing was the only 10276 07:02:30,150 --> 07:02:27,440 the only game in town for atomic weapons 10277 07:02:32,628 --> 07:02:30,160 right they dropped uh they dropped the 10278 07:02:35,110 --> 07:02:32,638 the bombs on japan and all that stuff i 10279 07:02:37,990 --> 07:02:35,120 would think every single paper should 10280 07:02:39,670 --> 07:02:38,000 have been preserved for history's sake 10281 07:02:41,990 --> 07:02:39,680 couldn't have said it better myself so 10282 07:02:44,390 --> 07:02:42,000 that includes the teletype messages 10283 07:02:46,070 --> 07:02:44,400 radiographs letters phone records and 10284 07:02:48,070 --> 07:02:46,080 invoice it's all gone where where are 10285 07:02:50,468 --> 07:02:48,080 those documents where are all those 10286 07:02:52,468 --> 07:02:50,478 written letters okay next one 10287 07:02:55,190 --> 07:02:52,478 why were all three letters written by 10288 07:02:57,990 --> 07:02:55,200 stephen schiff to les aspen requesting 10289 07:03:00,788 --> 07:02:58,000 access to all 1947 roswell files 10290 07:03:04,150 --> 07:03:00,798 unanswered he never got a reply 10291 07:03:07,430 --> 07:03:04,160 he did not even get a response 10292 07:03:09,590 --> 07:03:07,440 so that raises a red flag next one why 10293 07:03:11,510 --> 07:03:09,600 would so many death bed confessions by 10294 07:03:14,150 --> 07:03:11,520 both military and civilian witnesses 10295 07:03:16,230 --> 07:03:14,160 describe non-human bodies recovered 10296 07:03:17,990 --> 07:03:16,240 rather than a weather balloon 10297 07:03:19,910 --> 07:03:18,000 not not one of them said that it was a 10298 07:03:22,230 --> 07:03:19,920 weather balloon so i think that's 10299 07:03:24,548 --> 07:03:22,240 interesting if the roswell craft was 10300 07:03:27,350 --> 07:03:24,558 only a weather balloon why did former 10301 07:03:29,510 --> 07:03:27,360 cic operative dro worth combined in 10302 07:03:31,590 --> 07:03:29,520 ricket years after the crash quote 10303 07:03:34,150 --> 07:03:31,600 honest to god they still haven't figured 10304 07:03:36,788 --> 07:03:34,160 out what that stuff is 10305 07:03:38,788 --> 07:03:36,798 end quote if the roswell craft was only 10306 07:03:40,468 --> 07:03:38,798 a weather balloon why would former 10307 07:03:43,270 --> 07:03:40,478 provost marshal 10308 07:03:45,830 --> 07:03:43,280 edwin easley make reference to the 10309 07:03:48,708 --> 07:03:45,840 creatures just before he passed away at 10310 07:03:50,310 --> 07:03:48,718 parkland hospital in dallas texas 10311 07:03:54,150 --> 07:03:50,320 that's interesting 10312 07:03:58,230 --> 07:03:56,628 weather balloon to creatures 10313 07:04:00,070 --> 07:03:58,240 we're talking about something else here 10314 07:04:03,110 --> 07:04:00,080 we can't just be talking about a weather 10315 07:04:05,750 --> 07:04:03,120 balloon why would former cia operator 10316 07:04:07,750 --> 07:04:05,760 claire miller who dispatched the funding 10317 07:04:10,468 --> 07:04:07,760 for the cleanup operation refused to 10318 07:04:12,868 --> 07:04:10,478 talk to cic member lewis rickett years 10319 07:04:14,868 --> 07:04:12,878 after the offend that's interesting 10320 07:04:17,910 --> 07:04:14,878 if the crash was only a weather balloon 10321 07:04:20,628 --> 07:04:17,920 why would sergeant fowlet jr with only 10322 07:04:23,190 --> 07:04:20,638 days to live confide in his daughter 10323 07:04:26,230 --> 07:04:23,200 that he was quote at roswell when they 10324 07:04:28,708 --> 07:04:26,240 recovered the spaceship i was involved 10325 07:04:30,230 --> 07:04:28,718 it's all true end quote 10326 07:04:34,788 --> 07:04:30,240 that's interesting 10327 07:04:36,390 --> 07:04:34,798 tend to 10328 07:04:38,548 --> 07:04:36,400 one of my favorite books on roswell is 10329 07:04:40,788 --> 07:04:38,558 this children of roswell 10330 07:04:42,868 --> 07:04:40,798 because it tells a lot of these deathbed 10331 07:04:44,310 --> 07:04:42,878 confession stories and i just don't see 10332 07:04:45,510 --> 07:04:44,320 people at the end of their life going 10333 07:04:48,628 --> 07:04:45,520 you know what i'm going to do i'm going 10334 07:04:50,310 --> 07:04:48,638 to make up a story about aliens 10335 07:04:53,190 --> 07:04:50,320 and and these people 10336 07:04:55,990 --> 07:04:53,200 verifiedly were stationed there at the 10337 07:04:57,190 --> 07:04:56,000 time you can check you know right it 10338 07:04:58,948 --> 07:04:57,200 makes no sense that they would just 10339 07:05:00,708 --> 07:04:58,958 start making up stories about aliens on 10340 07:05:02,948 --> 07:05:00,718 their death bed and tell their family 10341 07:05:04,948 --> 07:05:02,958 and in some cases that the conversation 10342 07:05:06,628 --> 07:05:04,958 goes like i just want you to know this 10343 07:05:08,150 --> 07:05:06,638 is what happened and this is the truth 10344 07:05:10,150 --> 07:05:08,160 and we're not alone in the universe 10345 07:05:11,910 --> 07:05:10,160 there's other intelligent life out there 10346 07:05:14,070 --> 07:05:11,920 and i know because i've witnessed this 10347 07:05:16,150 --> 07:05:14,080 event that was covered up why would you 10348 07:05:19,030 --> 07:05:16,160 tell your children that on your deathbed 10349 07:05:20,310 --> 07:05:19,040 exactly it makes no sense to me 10350 07:05:23,830 --> 07:05:20,320 i agree 10351 07:05:25,590 --> 07:05:23,840 uh next one here myers juani oh no this 10352 07:05:29,670 --> 07:05:25,600 is where we want to go here uh captain 10353 07:05:32,708 --> 07:05:29,680 darwin e redmuson

07:14:20,868 --> 07:14:18,160 molecular alignment metallic alloys 10577 07:14:23,910 --> 07:14:20,878 number six integrated circuits number 10578 07:14:26,868 --> 07:14:23,920 seven heart number eight project horizon 10579 07:14:29,270 --> 07:14:26,878 number nine portable atomic generators 10580 07:14:31,910 --> 07:14:29,280 number ten irradiated food 10581 07:14:35,110 --> 07:14:31,920 number 11 third brain guidance systems 10582 07:14:38,150 --> 07:14:35,120 ebe headbands number 12 particle beams 10583 07:14:41,430 --> 07:14:38,160 star wars anti-missile energy weapons 10584 07:14:43,830 --> 07:14:41,440 13 electromagnetic propulsion systems 14 10585 07:14:45,990 --> 07:14:43,840 depleted uranium projectiles and number 10586 07:14:47,510 --> 07:14:46,000 15 velcro 10587 07:14:49,670 --> 07:14:47,520 so 10588 07:14:51,750 --> 07:14:49,680 however were these breakthroughs really 10589 07:14:54,310 --> 07:14:51,760 the product of reverse engineering and 10590 07:14:58,390 --> 07:14:54,320 alien spacecraft or did they have a more 10591 07:15:00,948 --> 07:14:58,400 earthly antecedent prior to so if we 10592 07:15:03,110 --> 07:15:00,958 look at the breakdown here 10593 07:15:06,468 --> 07:15:03,120 let's talk let's look at the first one 10594 07:15:08,230 --> 07:15:06,478 night vision we've got dr v k zorkin 10595 07:15:10,390 --> 07:15:08,240 father of night vision 10596 07:15:13,990 --> 07:15:10,400 night visions and infrared systems were 10597 07:15:16,628 --> 07:15:14,000 used on german panther takes prior to 10598 07:15:20,070 --> 07:15:16,638 roswell 1947 they were actually employed 10599 07:15:22,310 --> 07:15:20,080 in 1943 four years before the roswell 10600 07:15:24,868 --> 07:15:22,320 incident 10601 07:15:26,548 --> 07:15:24,878 so we need to address that that's 10602 07:15:27,750 --> 07:15:26,558 something that has to be looked at next 10603 07:15:29,510 --> 07:15:27,760 week 10604 07:15:31,750 --> 07:15:29,520 michael these claims of technology 10605 07:15:33,030 --> 07:15:31,760 derived from the roswell crash i've 10606 07:15:34,310 --> 07:15:33,040 never believed because i've 10607 07:15:35,750 --> 07:15:34,320 independently 10608 07:15:37,910 --> 07:15:35,760 it looks like you've done some of the 10609 07:15:39,510 --> 07:15:37,920 same work that i did i independently 10610 07:15:41,110 --> 07:15:39,520 looked into right 10611 07:15:42,948 --> 07:15:41,120 what i found is most of these 10612 07:15:44,788 --> 07:15:42,958 technologies either already existed or 10613 07:15:47,190 --> 07:15:44,798 they're well on their way to becoming 10614 07:15:50,310 --> 07:15:47,200 reality before or 10615 07:15:51,110 --> 07:15:50,320 nearly after the roswell event i know i 10616 07:15:55,510 --> 07:15:51,120 know 10617 07:15:58,788 --> 07:15:55,520 but we can't deny it even if it's 10618 07:16:00,230 --> 07:15:58,798 unpopular we still have to examine 10619 07:16:02,468 --> 07:16:00,240 counterpoints 10620 07:16:04,390 --> 07:16:02,478 because we have to be neutral we have 10621 07:16:07,708 --> 07:16:04,400 absolutely have to be neutral 10622 07:16:11,270 --> 07:16:07,718 uh we look at fiber optics 10623 07:16:13,910 --> 07:16:11,280 1884 illustration of a quote light pipe 10624 07:16:16,788 --> 07:16:13,920 by alexander graham bell so the the 10625 07:16:19,270 --> 07:16:16,798 beginning workings of fiber optics date 10626 07:16:22,070 --> 07:16:19,280 back to 1884. here's the 10627 07:16:23,030 --> 07:16:22,080 photo phone they talk about this 1842 10628 07:16:25,190 --> 07:16:23,040 interesting 10629 07:16:26,948 --> 07:16:25,200 you got it further back than me then 10630 07:16:30,310 --> 07:16:26,958 okay 10631 07:16:32,708 --> 07:16:30,320 we've got lasers here roof weeder row 10632 07:16:35,430 --> 07:16:32,718 and this is the document here quote 10633 07:16:37,270 --> 07:16:35,440 cascade principle described in document 10634 07:16:39,990 --> 07:16:37,280 german document 10635 07:16:42,390 --> 07:16:40,000 as far back as 1917 10636 07:16:45,110 --> 07:16:42,400 uh they studied studies in germany in 10637 07:16:47,990 --> 07:16:45,120 the late 1920s they they go into the 10638 07:16:50,468 --> 07:16:48,000 historical legacy of the 10639 07:16:52,788 --> 07:16:50,478 cascade principle which is a which is 10640 07:16:54,788 --> 07:16:52,798 the forerunner to the laser so they were 10641 07:16:56,468 --> 07:16:54,798 already looking at this 10642 07:16:59,910 --> 07:16:56,478 very early on 10643 07:17:03,430 --> 07:16:59,920 uh transistor and integrated circuits 10644 07:17:06,070 --> 07:17:03,440 german clyston tube 1940 to 1941 and 10645 07:17:07,430 --> 07:17:06,080 then photographs of german semiconductor 10646 07:17:10,468 --> 07:17:07,440 chips 10647 07:17:12,788 --> 07:17:10,478 this predates roswell by six years 10648 07:17:14,150 --> 07:17:12,798 they already had these tubes and 10649 07:17:17,510 --> 07:17:14,160 beginning the workings of the 10650 07:17:19,030 --> 07:17:17,520 semiconductor chips prior to roswell so 10651 07:17:21,510 --> 07:17:19,040 to be fair 10652 07:17:22,628 --> 07:17:21,520 we have to look at this other evidence 10653 07:17:24,628 --> 07:17:22,638 as well 10654 07:17:25,990 --> 07:17:24,638 and then one other quick point want to 10655 07:17:27,190 --> 07:17:26,000 look at as well 10656 07:17:29,990 --> 07:17:27,200 is 10657 07:17:31,030 --> 07:17:30,000 i have a i have a source who i will not 10658 07:17:33,750 --> 07:17:31,040 name 10659 07:17:35,910 --> 07:17:33,760 but i will give you his word for word 10660 07:17:39,270 --> 07:17:35,920 description now he he believes he knows 10661 07:17:42,310 --> 07:17:39,280 exactly what the roswell incident was it 10662 07:17:46,070 --> 07:17:42,320 was a quote-unquote stovepipe operation 10663 07:17:47,830 --> 07:17:46,080 to ferret out german spies that's his 10664 07:17:49,430 --> 07:17:47,840 impression of it now these are direct 10665 07:17:50,628 --> 07:17:49,440 statements i won't name them but this is 10666 07:17:53,510 --> 07:17:50,638 what he said 10667 07:17:56,150 --> 07:17:53,520 roswell this info was so successful at 10668 07:17:57,670 --> 07:17:56,160 smoking out spies and molds that eight 10669 07:17:59,430 --> 07:17:57,680 months after hearing that u.s 10670 07:18:02,150 --> 07:17:59,440 intelligence found their spies the 10671 07:18:03,910 --> 07:18:02,160 soviets created their own alien crash 10672 07:18:06,788 --> 07:18:03,920 the following year to do the same 10673 07:18:09,030 --> 07:18:06,798 because they feared u.s spies 10674 07:18:11,590 --> 07:18:09,040 then i asked him i go well how many he 10675 07:18:12,628 --> 07:18:11,600 said 12 were made three were used as 10676 07:18:14,628 --> 07:18:12,638 wreckage 10677 07:18:16,788 --> 07:18:14,638 eight to nine were using hangers as 10678 07:18:17,910 --> 07:18:16,798 props to test military intel and 10679 07:18:21,030 --> 07:18:17,920 scientists 10680 07:18:23,750 --> 07:18:21,040 all were props incapable of flying they 10681 07:18:25,670 --> 07:18:23,760 sat in hangars and were moved around so 10682 07:18:27,750 --> 07:18:25,680 that personnel and satellites in 10683 07:18:28,628 --> 07:18:27,760 subsequent years thought they were 10684 07:18:31,030 --> 07:18:28,638 moving 10685 07:18:33,190 --> 07:18:31,040 since positions daily that the text is a 10686 07:18:34,628 --> 07:18:33,200 little choppy here tested different 10687 07:18:36,590 --> 07:18:34,638 incoming shifts 10688 07:18:38,788 --> 07:18:36,600 we built those stovepipe is a 10689 07:18:39,750 --> 07:18:38,798 counterintelligence technique it's a 10690 07:18:41,990 --> 07:18:39,760 term 10691 07:18:44,628 --> 07:18:42,000 the craft were not called that the 10692 07:18:47,110 --> 07:18:44,638 detachment would use the fake models to 10693 07:18:48,548 --> 07:18:47,120 test incoming guys to where intel 10694 07:18:52,310 --> 07:18:48,558 flushed out at 10695 07:18:55,270 --> 07:18:52,320 back then it was cia or back before then 10696 07:18:57,750 --> 07:18:55,280 it was cia they used the oss which was 10697 07:19:00,388 --> 07:18:57,760 the office of strategic services would 10698 07:19:02,070 --> 07:19:00,398 have used a group called detachment 101 10699 07:19:03,030 --> 07:19:02,080 this is the group that allegedly built 10700 07:19:04,468 --> 07:19:03,040 these 10701 07:19:06,468 --> 07:19:04,478 mock-ups 10702 07:19:08,548 --> 07:19:06,478 and quote-unquote crashed them 10703 07:19:10,548 --> 07:19:08,558 when the war department was in charge of 10704 07:19:13,430 --> 07:19:10,558 everything they started a foreign 10705 07:19:16,628 --> 07:19:13,440 intelligent group called detachment 101 10706 07:19:18,628 --> 07:19:16,638 so when the oss started they already uh 10707 07:19:20,948 --> 07:19:18,638 was these guys already experienced in 10708 07:19:23,590 --> 07:19:20,958 foreign affairs and special activities 10709 07:19:26,468 --> 07:19:23,600 no laws and definitions back then was 10710 07:19:28,388 --> 07:19:26,478 the wild wild west of intelligence so 10711 07:19:31,110 --> 07:19:28,398 that's according to this source he 10712 07:19:33,430 --> 07:19:31,120 believes it was a stove piping operation 10713 07:19:35,510 --> 07:19:33,440 to smoke out german spies 10714 07:19:37,670 --> 07:19:35,520 and that's kind of the counter points i 10715 07:19:39,590 --> 07:19:37,680 wanted to bring up 10716 07:19:41,270 --> 07:19:39,600 interesting i've never heard of this you 10717 07:19:43,270 --> 07:19:41,280 know i've heard the annie jacobson 10718 07:19:44,310 --> 07:19:43,280 explanation which i don't find credible 10719 07:19:46,388 --> 07:19:44,320 at all 10720 07:19:47,590 --> 07:19:46,398 because her so-called witness told her 10721 07:19:49,350 --> 07:19:47,600 one thing 10722 07:19:51,350 --> 07:19:49,360 happened at roswell 10723 07:19:54,628 --> 07:19:51,360 with this uh you know 10724 07:19:56,388 --> 07:19:54,638 fake uh you know they back they uh 10725 07:19:57,510 --> 07:19:56,398 apparently according to annie jacobson's 10726 07:19:59,670 --> 07:19:57,520 witness they 10727 07:20:01,590 --> 07:19:59,680 you know did some kind of surgery or 10728 07:20:03,430 --> 07:20:01,600 already deformed children or something 10729 07:20:05,830 --> 07:20:03,440 like that and then crashed it on purpose 10730 07:20:07,350 --> 07:20:05,840 to scare us or whatever and he told 10731 07:20:10,410 --> 07:20:07,360 george knapp an entirely different 10732 07:20:12,468 --> 07:20:10,420 explanation of what happened at roswell 10733 07:20:15,030 --> 07:20:12,478 [Music] 10734 07:20:17,750 --> 07:20:15,040 let's see if i can get back to uh where 10735 07:20:19,430 --> 07:20:17,760 we're at here uh let's see here 10736 07:20:20,868 --> 07:20:19,440 can i get back to 10737 07:20:22,548 --> 07:20:20,878 to you here 10738 07:20:24,708 --> 07:20:22,558 um oh do you want me to stop the screen 10739 07:20:27,430 --> 07:20:24,718 here and stop sharing at this point yeah 10740 07:20:29,190 --> 07:20:27,440 see now looking at looking at his 10741 07:20:31,830 --> 07:20:29,200 information 10742 07:20:34,788 --> 07:20:31,840 doesn't technically jive with what we 10743 07:20:37,590 --> 07:20:34,798 know about the bodies the the b-29 10744 07:20:40,868 --> 07:20:37,600 flights the the crates 10745 07:20:43,350 --> 07:20:40,878 see how do we factor all that in uh the 10746 07:20:45,830 --> 07:20:43,360 the stench of the bodies the b-29 10747 07:20:48,788 --> 07:20:45,840 flights so it's still kind of a mystery 10748 07:20:50,628 --> 07:20:48,798 because even his counterpoints don't 10749 07:20:53,190 --> 07:20:50,638 technically jive with what we know about 10750 07:20:55,270 --> 07:20:53,200 marion blackmac magruder so again 10751 07:20:57,110 --> 07:20:55,280 we're back to this thing about these 10752 07:20:59,430 --> 07:20:57,120 bodies again how do we 10753 07:21:01,830 --> 07:20:59,440 how do we actually describe 10754 07:21:04,230 --> 07:21:01,840 and account for the bodies 10755 07:21:05,990 --> 07:21:04,240 if they were making a mock-up 10756 07:21:08,468 --> 07:21:06,000 this is something that i'm sure would be 10757 07:21:10,548 --> 07:21:08,478 bent by a 16-pound sledgehammer but yet 10758 07:21:12,070 --> 07:21:10,558 the witnesses said that the debris could 10759 07:21:15,110 --> 07:21:12,080 not be dental with a 16-pound 10760 07:21:17,110 --> 07:21:15,120 sledgehammer so even the counterpoints 10761 07:21:19,430 --> 07:21:17,120 seem to kind of fall apart and we're 10762 07:21:20,948 --> 07:21:19,440 back to this going back to the original 10763 07:21:23,750 --> 07:21:20,958 witnesses again 10764 07:21:25,590 --> 07:21:23,760 yeah and and the most popular narrative 10765 07:21:27,990 --> 07:21:25,600 which is the narrative that it was an 10766 07:21:31,030 --> 07:21:28,000 alien spacecraft and bodies were 10767 07:21:33,350 --> 07:21:31,040 recovered and that the debris was 10768 07:21:34,230 --> 07:21:33,360 otherworldly therefore couldn't be 10769 07:21:36,388 --> 07:21:34,240 cut 10770 07:21:39,030 --> 07:21:36,398 smashed whatever 10771 07:21:40,468 --> 07:21:39,040 and and interesting i i did have a 10772 07:21:41,830 --> 07:21:40,478 question from the live chat that i 10773 07:21:43,750 --> 07:21:41,840 thought was interesting and since you're 10774 07:21:46,070 --> 07:21:43,760 an aircraft historian i thought you're 10775 07:21:47,590 --> 07:21:46,080 the perfect person to answer this and i 10776 07:21:49,590 --> 07:21:47,600 suppose they know that that's why 10777 07:21:52,388 --> 07:21:49,600 they're asking so 10778 07:21:55,590 --> 07:21:53,750 patrick sheehan 10779 07:21:58,310 --> 07:21:55,600 asks please ask michael about the 10780 07:22:01,750 --> 07:21:58,320 possible possibility that the roswell 10781 07:22:02,708 --> 07:22:01,760 incident involved us navy top secret x5u 10782 07:22:05,910 --> 07:22:02,718 program 10783 07:22:08,468 --> 07:22:05,920 it was supposedly canceled in 1947 10784 07:22:11,110 --> 07:22:08,478 called the flying flapjack early scale 10785 07:22:13,430 --> 07:22:11,120 prototype was flown by lindbergh 10786 07:22:15,270 --> 07:22:13,440 yes yeah that's 10787 07:22:17,510 --> 07:22:15,280 and we're talking about some of the 10788 07:22:20,468 --> 07:22:17,520 things that were done by zimmerman the 10789 07:22:21,270 --> 07:22:20,478 flying flapjack the other one which had 10790 07:22:34,230 --> 07:22:21,280 the 10791 07:22:36,548 --> 07:22:34,240 mechanism was too sophisticated and so 10792 07:22:38,628 --> 07:22:36,558 they never flew it but uh 10793 07:22:40,708 --> 07:22:38,638 jack pickett is of the belief that there 10794 07:22:43,510 --> 07:22:40,718 were jet powered 10795 07:22:45,190 --> 07:22:43,520 us air force jet flying wing aircraft 10796 07:22:47,270 --> 07:22:45,200 but since this is 47 that would have 10797 07:22:48,868 --> 07:22:47,280 been very early on very early i'm just 10798 07:22:51,270 --> 07:22:48,878 going to show a picture for people very 10799 07:22:53,110 --> 07:22:51,280 interesting airplane and i like weird uh 10800 07:22:54,868 --> 07:22:53,120 you know airplanes like this it's just 10801 07:22:57,270 --> 07:22:54,878 it's a nice it's a nice aircraft but 10802 07:23:00,628 --> 07:22:57,280 that that plane was never flown it was a 10803 07:23:01,910 --> 07:23:00,638 cool design though yeah sure 10804 07:23:03,990 --> 07:23:01,920 definitely a cool design so you don't 10805 07:23:06,868 --> 07:23:04,000 think this had anything to do with rods 10806 07:23:08,868 --> 07:23:06,878 it was not it was not this one 10807 07:23:10,388 --> 07:23:08,878 and one of my other questions for you 10808 07:23:12,150 --> 07:23:10,398 would be um 10809 07:23:14,548 --> 07:23:12,160 what do you think of some people believe 10810 07:23:16,868 --> 07:23:14,558 that the russian fly or excuse me the 10811 07:23:18,708 --> 07:23:16,878 german flying wing aircraft that was 10812 07:23:20,788 --> 07:23:18,718 recovered may have had something to do 10813 07:23:23,030 --> 07:23:20,798 with roswell like maybe they reproduced 10814 07:23:25,030 --> 07:23:23,040 it they were doing tests and that's what 10815 07:23:27,750 --> 07:23:25,040 crashed 10816 07:23:30,150 --> 07:23:27,760 yeah i know that uh 10817 07:23:32,628 --> 07:23:30,160 don schmidt had gone down that road and 10818 07:23:35,110 --> 07:23:32,638 he's absolutely convinced it has nothing 10819 07:23:37,590 --> 07:23:35,120 to do with a horton 229 because now 10820 07:23:39,430 --> 07:23:37,600 you've got jet engines you've got rivets 10821 07:23:41,590 --> 07:23:39,440 you've got uh sort of a composite 10822 07:23:43,350 --> 07:23:41,600 aircraft construction there were no 10823 07:23:44,868 --> 07:23:43,360 rivets whatever they described and you 10824 07:23:46,070 --> 07:23:44,878 know we can even go back to the black 10825 07:23:49,110 --> 07:23:46,080 box 10826 07:23:51,270 --> 07:23:49,120 that black dock was completely seamless 10827 07:23:53,350 --> 07:23:51,280 so there were no rivets 10828 07:23:55,910 --> 07:23:53,360 there were no fasteners probably weren't 10829 07:23:58,468 --> 07:23:55,920 any weld marks and that has to be 10830 07:24:02,628 --> 07:23:58,478 explained if this was a mock-up if this 10831 07:24:05,350 --> 07:24:02,638 was a a fake crash built by oss 10832 07:24:07,270 --> 07:24:05,360 to to ferret out german spies then how 10833 07:24:09,430 --> 07:24:07,280 do you account for this black box that 10834 07:24:11,670 --> 07:24:09,440 was recovered how do you account for the 10835 07:24:14,388 --> 07:24:11,680 fuse glass that they found indicative of 10836 07:24:16,788 --> 07:24:14,398 high heat so there's a lot more going on 10837 07:24:19,110 --> 07:24:16,798 here and i'm going to remain neutral i'm 10838 07:24:21,830 --> 07:24:19,120 not going to jump on you plus or minus 10839 07:24:24,230 --> 07:24:21,840 i'm going to continue doing the research 10840 07:24:26,468 --> 07:24:24,240 and wherever the truth leads whether 10841 07:24:28,388 --> 07:24:26,478 it's unpopular it's inconvenient i'm 10842 07:24:30,948 --> 07:24:28,398 going to go with that 10843 07:24:32,788 --> 07:24:30,958 well i i appreciate that you uh are open 10844 07:24:33,830 --> 07:24:32,798 to all the possibilities too when you 10845 07:24:35,510 --> 07:24:33,840 don't just 10846 07:24:38,150 --> 07:24:35,520 you know i've seen some people just 10847 07:24:39,990 --> 07:24:38,160 reject evidence because it doesn't fit 10848 07:24:41,910 --> 07:24:40,000 what they believe and and i don't think 10849 07:24:44,468 --> 07:24:41,920 that's the right way to go about it i 10850 07:24:47,030 --> 07:24:44,478 think we should accept all of this 10851 07:24:48,868 --> 07:24:47,040 you know accept all of the uh 10852 07:24:51,590 --> 07:24:48,878 all of the information and i want to 10853 07:24:54,230 --> 07:24:51,600 thank lord ludacris who said uh 10854 07:24:56,628 --> 07:24:54,240 of michael schrad he said uh the very 10855 07:24:57,430 --> 07:24:56,638 best person to close the amazing series 10856 07:24:59,910 --> 07:24:57,440 out 10857 07:25:01,990 --> 07:24:59,920 uh the roswell series is one of my 10858 07:25:03,990 --> 07:25:02,000 favorite things you have done stephen 10859 07:25:05,990 --> 07:25:04,000 and michael i love your work and passion 10860 07:25:07,910 --> 07:25:06,000 so thank you lord ludacris 10861 07:25:09,750 --> 07:25:07,920 uh for your kind do you got a little bit 10862 07:25:11,910 --> 07:25:09,760 of time we can take if somebody has any 10863 07:25:14,628 --> 07:25:11,920 questions for you in the live chat 10864 07:25:17,430 --> 07:25:14,638 yeah see whatever the truth ultimately 10865 07:25:20,070 --> 07:25:17,440 comes out about roswell it has to answer 10866 07:25:22,548 --> 07:25:20,080 all the questions it can't answer some 10867 07:25:25,510 --> 07:25:22,558 it has to answer all it has to answer 10868 07:25:28,388 --> 07:25:25,520 the degree it has to answer the 10869 07:25:29,990 --> 07:25:28,398 bodies it has to answer for all the yeah 10870 07:25:32,230 --> 07:25:30,000 the only explanation the government 10871 07:25:34,388 --> 07:25:32,240 provided for the bodies was some kind of 10872 07:25:35,910 --> 07:25:34,398 you know tests high altitude tests where 10873 07:25:38,310 --> 07:25:35,920 they were dropping 10874 07:25:40,388 --> 07:25:38,320 mannequins and that doesn't right that 10875 07:25:42,230 --> 07:25:40,398 doesn't work because that didn't happen 10876 07:25:44,310 --> 07:25:42,240 until years later first of all and 10877 07:25:46,070 --> 07:25:44,320 second of all those were six foot tall 10878 07:25:47,590 --> 07:25:46,080 mannequins that doesn't explain the 10879 07:25:49,350 --> 07:25:47,600 bodies at all 10880 07:25:50,788 --> 07:25:49,360 but according to some skeptics well it 10881 07:25:52,230 --> 07:25:50,798 was just mannequins 10882 07:25:53,590 --> 07:25:52,240 you know they were testing things they 10883 07:25:55,910 --> 07:25:53,600 dropped a bunch of mannequins out of 10884 07:25:58,070 --> 07:25:55,920 planes high altitude testing or 10885 07:26:00,948 --> 07:25:58,080 parachute testing or whatever 10886 07:26:02,788 --> 07:26:00,958 that explanation to me is is about as 10887 07:26:06,468 --> 07:26:02,798 credible as you know the swamp gas 10888 07:26:09,190 --> 07:26:06,478 explanation for some ufos just doesn't 10889 07:26:11,030 --> 07:26:09,200 it doesn't add up to me a 5 foot 10 to 10890 07:26:13,750 --> 07:26:11,040 six foot two 10891 07:26:15,910 --> 07:26:13,760 wooden crashed test dummy would not fit 10892 07:26:18,948 --> 07:26:15,920 in a child sized casket ain't going to 10893 07:26:21,750 --> 07:26:18,958 work that's that's another one as well 10894 07:26:22,868 --> 07:26:21,760 so now that the 75th anniversary is 10895 07:26:24,548 --> 07:26:22,878 coming up 10896 07:26:26,708 --> 07:26:24,558 do you know they're doing some special 10897 07:26:28,388 --> 07:26:26,718 events for that as well for the 75th 10898 07:26:29,830 --> 07:26:28,398 anniversary 10899 07:26:31,110 --> 07:26:29,840 um 10900 07:26:33,510 --> 07:26:31,120 to me it's just 10901 07:26:35,030 --> 07:26:33,520 this is the 75th anniversary of a great 10902 07:26:37,590 --> 07:26:35,040 great mystery do you think that we'll 10903 07:26:40,230 --> 07:26:37,600 ever get a definitive answer or that 10904 07:26:42,948 --> 07:26:40,240 this mystery will be ever solved 10905 07:26:44,788 --> 07:26:42,958 very good question without the physical 10906 07:26:47,430 --> 07:26:44,798 evidence we are just going to be 10907 07:26:49,830 --> 07:26:47,440 spinning our wheels that's it 10908 07:26:53,190 --> 07:26:49,840 without that physical evidence it's just 10909 07:26:55,190 --> 07:26:53,200 going to be another one of these legends 10910 07:26:57,670 --> 07:26:55,200 and that's why i think that the leonard 10911 07:27:00,788 --> 07:26:57,680 stringfield crash retrieval witnesses 10912 07:27:02,948 --> 07:27:00,798 are so important because it does 10913 07:27:06,070 --> 07:27:02,958 provide corroborating evidence for the 10914 07:27:07,990 --> 07:27:06,080 roswell incident because he's got about 10915 07:27:10,868 --> 07:27:08,000 119 10916 07:27:13,350 --> 07:27:10,878 retrieval cases within his seven status 10917 07:27:15,590 --> 07:27:13,360 reports that's about two inches thick 10918 07:27:17,830 --> 07:27:15,600 now can we rule some of them out 10919 07:27:20,708 --> 07:27:17,840 absolutely some of them are overlapping 10920 07:27:21,830 --> 07:27:20,718 no problem some of them are hoaxes no 10921 07:27:23,990 --> 07:27:21,840 problem 10922 07:27:25,830 --> 07:27:24,000 so let's just let's take 20 off the 10923 07:27:28,230 --> 07:27:25,840 batch right there let's let's go from 10924 07:27:31,670 --> 07:27:28,240 119 let's just go down to 100 10925 07:27:34,150 --> 07:27:31,680 conservatively conservatively so it's 10926 07:27:36,628 --> 07:27:34,160 like the odds are a hundred to one all 10927 07:27:39,110 --> 07:27:36,638 we need is one to be correct that's all 10928 07:27:42,070 --> 07:27:39,120 we need so if you took those odds to 10929 07:27:44,070 --> 07:27:42,080 vegas and you went to the roulette wheel 10930 07:27:47,030 --> 07:27:44,080 and there were like a hundred spots 10931 07:27:48,548 --> 07:27:47,040 there and you bet on 99 of them you're 10932 07:27:51,110 --> 07:27:48,558 going to win you're going to win every 10933 07:27:53,510 --> 07:27:51,120 single uh yeah that's good the odds are 10934 07:27:54,548 --> 07:27:53,520 in our favor all we need is one to be 10935 07:27:56,150 --> 07:27:54,558 correct 10936 07:27:58,388 --> 07:27:56,160 yeah we have an excellent question from 10937 07:28:00,150 --> 07:27:58,398 number six uh is michael coming out with 10938 07:28:03,190 --> 07:28:00,160 a printed art book 10939 07:28:04,548 --> 07:28:03,200 well i think my dark files book is my 10940 07:28:06,948 --> 07:28:04,558 printed art book 10941 07:28:09,030 --> 07:28:06,958 yes well but at first that was an ebook 10942 07:28:10,628 --> 07:28:09,040 i've just now learned that you've got it 10943 07:28:12,868 --> 07:28:10,638 you've got a printed version available 10944 07:28:14,310 --> 07:28:12,878 it's available on amazon right and it's 10945 07:28:16,788 --> 07:28:14,320

printed art book because 10951 07:28:33,830 --> 07:28:32,160 i i like ebooks but i really like to 10952 07:28:36,070 --> 07:28:33,840 have the physical book i like i heard i 10953 07:28:39,110 -->

i think 10959 07:28:53,990 --> 07:28:51,600 i i would take the the word of the uh 10960 07:28:56,628 --> 07:28:54,000 world war ii pilots like marion black 10961 07:28:59,910 --> 07:28:56,638 magma i would i would bank on that when 10962 07:29:01,830 --> 07:28:59,920 he talks about things being uh pulled at 10963 07:29:04,070 --> 07:29:01,840 over to langley air force base other 10964 07:29:05,430 --> 07:29:04,080 locations other than right better that 10965 07:29:07,750 --> 07:29:05,440 checks out with some of the things that 10966 07:29:10,548 --> 07:29:07,760 leonard springfield had talked about so 10967 07:29:13,830 --> 07:29:10,558 when coming from a world war ii pilot 10968 07:29:15,350 --> 07:29:13,840 that has no dog in this race you know 10969 07:29:17,670 --> 07:29:15,360 he's just talking about what he 10970 07:29:19,350 --> 07:29:17,680 experienced plus we've got his records 10971 07:29:22,548 --> 07:29:19,360 proving he was there 10972 07:29:24,310 --> 07:29:22,558 so i like to bank on his statements 10973 07:29:25,910 --> 07:29:24,320 yeah and i'm not aware that you were 10974 07:29:27,830 --> 07:29:25,920 working on a lazar project but 10975 07:29:29,030 --> 07:29:27,840 somebody's asking when the lazar report 10976 07:29:31,430 --> 07:29:29,040 is coming 10977 07:29:33,190 --> 07:29:31,440 report came out been out years ago right 10978 07:29:35,030 --> 07:29:33,200 it came out ten years ago 10979 07:29:37,670 --> 07:29:35,040 yeah and uh i don't know if you're aware 10980 07:29:39,990 --> 07:29:37,680 michael but we have had uh on the record 10981 07:29:42,310 --> 07:29:40,000 sources from los alamos we talked about 10982 07:29:43,190 --> 07:29:42,320 this off air but just to informa that 10983 07:29:45,350 --> 07:29:43,200 that 10984 07:29:47,190 --> 07:29:45,360 you know his bosses at los alamos have 10985 07:29:48,948 --> 07:29:47,200 now been found and they gave on the 10986 07:29:51,270 --> 07:29:48,958 record statement saying that bob lazar 10987 07:29:53,830 --> 07:29:51,280 was never a scientist at los alamos he 10988 07:29:55,350 --> 07:29:53,840 was a low-level electronics technician 10989 07:29:58,708 --> 07:29:55,360 and we've also got on the record 10990 07:30:00,548 --> 07:29:58,718 interview with an area 51 security guard 10991 07:30:03,030 --> 07:30:00,558 who claims that bob lazar never stepped 10992 07:30:04,868 --> 07:30:03,040 foot on the base you did such a good job 10993 07:30:07,430 --> 07:30:04,878 on that i know well it wasn't my work 10994 07:30:09,190 --> 07:30:07,440 but i was able to find people who did 10995 07:30:11,110 --> 07:30:09,200 that work and allow me to and they came 10996 07:30:12,310 --> 07:30:11,120 here and helped me to share it because 10997 07:30:15,030 --> 07:30:12,320 if you don't have a little bigger 10998 07:30:17,270 --> 07:30:15,040 bullhorn you know the question i have is 10999 07:30:21,030 --> 07:30:17,280 if that story is true 11000 07:30:25,350 --> 07:30:21,040 why have we not heard of even one 11001 07:30:27,750 --> 07:30:25,360 test pilot who flew out of that facility 11002 07:30:31,270 --> 07:30:27,760 stating that they saw a remote working 11003 07:30:33,830 --> 07:30:31,280 facility at papoose lake s4 not one test 11004 07:30:35,910 --> 07:30:33,840 pilot has ever come forward that was 11005 07:30:37,430 --> 07:30:35,920 stationed there and flew there prior to 11006 07:30:40,310 --> 07:30:37,440 and afterward we don't have the 11007 07:30:42,230 --> 07:30:40,320 testimony of even one test pilot stating 11008 07:30:44,150 --> 07:30:42,240 that there is an active 11009 07:30:45,510 --> 07:30:44,160 facility built into the side of the 11010 07:30:47,350 --> 07:30:45,520 mountain 11011 07:30:49,510 --> 07:30:47,360 not one has ever come forward yeah and 11012 07:30:50,788 --> 07:30:49,520 that area 51 security guard also said 11013 07:30:52,150 --> 07:30:50,798 that he'd been all over the base 11014 07:30:53,830 --> 07:30:52,160 including papoose lake and there's 11015 07:30:55,830 --> 07:30:53,840 nothing there that bob lazar described 11016 07:30:57,350 --> 07:30:55,840 no roads no guard shack 11017 07:30:59,110 --> 07:30:57,360 no hangers in the mountain and he was 11018 07:31:00,150 --> 07:30:59,120 right next you know he drove right next 11019 07:31:02,548 --> 07:31:00,160 to that 11020 07:31:04,788 --> 07:31:02,558 and we have member fraps app who says uh 11021 07:31:07,190 --> 07:31:04,798 with a great question i'd like to ask mr 11022 07:31:09,110 --> 07:31:07,200 schrat about the black and white film 11023 07:31:11,350 --> 07:31:09,120 showing supposed flight panel with 11024 07:31:13,030 --> 07:31:11,360 identification shaped like hands with 11025 07:31:15,510 --> 07:31:13,040 six fingers and the three fingers 11026 07:31:17,670 --> 07:31:15,520 description of the ebe i think you're 11027 07:31:19,910 --> 07:31:17,680 referring to the alien autopsy film that 11028 07:31:21,830 --> 07:31:19,920 came out decades ago i was just it's a 11029 07:31:23,830 --> 07:31:21,840 tiny portion but people have cut that 11030 07:31:25,910 --> 07:31:23,840 out and re-uploaded it so i don't i 11031 07:31:27,910 --> 07:31:25,920 don't think that is credible fraps i 11032 07:31:29,350 --> 07:31:27,920 think i would agree with you stephen i 11033 07:31:31,350 --> 07:31:29,360 would agree thank you for being a member 11034 07:31:33,030 --> 07:31:31,360 of fraps app and thank you for your 11035 07:31:34,628 --> 07:31:33,040 excellent question and i want to remind 11036 07:31:36,388 --> 07:31:34,638 our viewers that we're a viewer support 11037 07:31:38,868 --> 07:31:36,398 show you can now become a member or you 11038 07:31:41,190 --> 07:31:38,878 can

07:31:46,708 --> 07:31:44,878 out and if you're a youtube channel 11042 07:31:49,030 --> 07:31:46,718 member you get all the patreon benefits 11043 07:31:51,190 --> 07:31:49,040 as well so thanks to our kind and 11044 07:31:52,628 --> 07:31:51,200 generous benefactors michael people all 11045 07:31:56,948 --> 07:31:52,638 over the world are sending me money to 11046 07:31:59,670 --> 07:31:57,750 yeah 11047 07:32:01,110 --> 07:31:59,680 and mark toronto with a great question 11048 07:32:02,868 --> 07:32:01,120 who says if this debris was 11049 07:32:05,430 --> 07:32:02,878 indestructible how large must the 11050 07:32:07,110 --> 07:32:05,440 explosion have been to create it i know 11051 07:32:09,190 --> 07:32:07,120 uh don schmidt had questioned that too 11052 07:32:12,070 --> 07:32:09,200 and his answer to that is 11053 07:32:14,468 --> 07:32:12,080 we we don't know exactly how or why it 11054 07:32:16,628 --> 07:32:14,478 crashed but the lightning that may have 11055 07:32:18,150 --> 07:32:16,638 struck it during the electrical storm 11056 07:32:19,750 --> 07:32:18,160 exceeded the tensile strength of the 11057 07:32:21,030 --> 07:32:19,760 material 11058 07:32:22,388 --> 07:32:21,040 so that makes some possibilities you 11059 07:32:24,070 --> 07:32:22,398 know a lot of people are very critical 11060 07:32:25,910 --> 07:32:24,080 saying they came all the way here from 11061 07:32:27,830 --> 07:32:25,920 another world but they somehow crashed 11062 07:32:29,430 --> 07:32:27,840 when they got here but i would argue 11063 07:32:31,190 --> 07:32:29,440 that all machines 11064 07:32:33,510 --> 07:32:31,200 fail and the more complicated the 11065 07:32:34,310 --> 07:32:33,520 machine the more likelihood of failure 11066 07:32:35,830 --> 07:32:34,320 so 11067 07:32:37,750 --> 07:32:35,840 you know i get that argument though 11068 07:32:40,388 --> 07:32:37,760 right michael like they came from you 11069 07:32:42,948 --> 07:32:40,398 know 20 light years away and then they 11070 07:32:45,590 --> 07:32:42,958 crashed but atmospheric flying and 11071 07:32:47,830 --> 07:32:45,600 flying in space is two different things 11072 07:32:49,990 --> 07:32:47,840 you know i i can't really explain why it 11073 07:32:52,070 --> 07:32:50,000 crashed most people have said that this 11074 07:32:53,750 --> 07:32:52,080 huge lightning storm may have interfered 11075 07:32:56,388 --> 07:32:53,760 with their propulsion system or their 11076 07:32:59,030 --> 07:32:56,398 guidance system or whatever 11077 07:33:01,270 --> 07:32:59,040 or or an experimental radar system an 11078 07:33:03,990 --> 07:33:01,280 experimental high power radar could have 11079 07:33:05,670 --> 07:33:04,000 been involved which is what allegedly 11080 07:33:07,750 --> 07:33:05,680 took down the kingman thing because that 11081 07:33:09,030 --> 07:33:07,760 was a soft landing that was not a crash 11082 07:33:11,430 --> 07:33:09,040 retrieval 11083 07:33:13,110 --> 07:33:11,440 and it really boils down to the crash 11084 07:33:15,270 --> 07:33:13,120 retrievals that's why i think that 11085 07:33:17,910 --> 07:33:15,280 leonard springfield got closer than any 11086 07:33:21,270 --> 07:33:17,920 of us had ever gotten because he 11087 07:33:23,430 --> 07:33:21,280 interviewed the firsthand witnesses that 11088 07:33:26,548 --> 07:33:23,440 were on the retrieval teams recovering 11089 07:33:27,510 --> 07:33:26,558 the craft the debris the bodies so we've 11090 07:33:29,510 --> 07:33:27,520 got 11091 07:33:32,548 --> 07:33:29,520 air traffic controllers astronauts 11092 07:33:34,468 --> 07:33:32,558 cosmonauts uh high-level military bras 11093 07:33:37,030 --> 07:33:34,478 who were on these retrieval teams could 11094 07:33:39,350 --> 07:33:37,040 they all be lying could they all really 11095 07:33:41,430 --> 07:33:39,360 be lying yeah that's a very good point 11096 07:33:43,430 --> 07:33:41,440 unknowns unknown center has a good point 11097 07:33:45,750 --> 07:33:43,440 strange no one got sick from handling 11098 07:33:48,230 --> 07:33:45,760 biological aliens i'm sure maybe they 11099 07:33:49,910 --> 07:33:48,240 had gloves and masks or something right 11100 07:33:51,110 --> 07:33:49,920 they wouldn't have just picked the right 11101 07:33:53,190 --> 07:33:51,120 i don't think they would just pick them 11102 07:33:54,548 --> 07:33:53,200 up with their bare hands and 11103 07:33:56,310 --> 07:33:54,558 yeah because they're getting this very 11104 07:33:59,110 --> 07:33:56,320 least it was 11105 07:34:00,708 --> 07:33:59,120 no it was a nauseous smell being next to 11106 07:34:05,270 --> 07:34:00,718 those bodies 11107 07:34:05,280 --> 07:34:09,590 yeah yeah 11108 07:34:13,350 --> 07:34:11,270 yeah and anybody with any questions for 11109 07:34:15,590 --> 07:34:13,360 michael please put them in all caps that 11110 07:34:16,868 --> 07:34:15,600 makes it much easier for me to know so 11111 07:34:18,548 --> 07:34:16,878 but i think we're going to wrap things 11112 07:34:20,868 --> 07:34:18,558 up here michael i'm going to throw you 11113 07:34:22,628 --> 07:34:20,878 out but we are going to take a musical 11114 07:34:24,388 --> 07:34:22,638 break and then i'm going to return for 11115 07:34:25,830 --> 07:34:24,398 some other show business that i can cut 11116 07:34:28,230 --> 07:34:25,840 out of this later 11117 07:34:30,948 --> 07:34:28,240 but i certainly want to thank you for 11118 07:34:33,030 --> 07:34:30,958 coming here and shedding some more light 11119 07:34:35,270 --> 07:34:33,040 and you have brought us new and 11120 07:34:36,548 --> 07:34:35,280 interesting witnesses that no one else 11121 07:34:39,110 --> 07:34:36,558 had 11122 07:34:40,708 --> 07:34:39,120 and and new insight into this great 11123 07:34:43,030 --> 07:34:40,718 mystery 11124 07:34:45,030 --> 07:34:43,040 thank you stephen i appreciate it 11125 07:34:58,708 --> 07:34:45,040 yeah you are welcome here anytime my 11126 07:35:03,990 --> 07:35:01,270 the government's explanation into what 11127 07:35:05,990 --> 07:35:04,000 happened at roswell in my view is 11128 07:35:09,830 --> 07:35:06,000 laughable at best 11129 07:35:12,388 --> 07:35:09,840 first published in 1997 the air force 11130 07:35:15,670 --> 07:35:12,398 published their findings 11131 07:35:17,910 --> 07:35:15,680 called the roswell report case closed 11132 07:35:20,548 --> 07:35:17,920 and in their report a very skeptical 11133 07:35:23,110 --> 07:35:20,558 report i might add they completely and 11134 07:35:25,430 --> 07:35:23,120 totally dismissed almost all the witness 11135 07:35:28,070 --> 07:35:25,440 testimony they made whack-a-doo 11136 07:35:30,628 --> 07:35:28,080 explanations for what really happened 11137 07:35:32,310 --> 07:35:30,638 conflating people seeing alien bodies 11138 07:35:34,070 --> 07:35:32,320 with some kind of 11139 07:35:36,150 --> 07:35:34,080 top secret 11140 07:35:38,310 --> 07:35:36,160 high altitude tests where they were 11141 07:35:41,030 --> 07:35:38,320 dropping dummies from high altitude 11142 07:35:43,670 --> 07:35:41,040 balloons 11143 07:35:47,430 --> 07:35:43,680 and importantly 11144 07:35:48,468 --> 07:35:47,440 those tests didn't occur until 1953 11145 07:35:50,948 --> 07:35:48,478 some 11146 07:35:53,110 --> 07:35:50,958 years after the event 11147 07:35:55,110 --> 07:35:53,120 in 1947 11148 07:35:57,270 --> 07:35:55,120 the air force offers no explanation 11149 07:36:00,310 --> 07:35:57,280 other than to say that people conflated 11150 07:36:01,350 --> 07:36:00,320 times and dates and different events 11151 07:36:03,590 --> 07:36:01,360 somehow 11152 07:36:06,310 --> 07:36:03,600 i'm not buying it 11153 07:36:08,548 --> 07:36:06,320 i believe that the air force 11154 07:36:11,910 --> 07:36:08,558 largely tried to explain away all the 11155 07:36:14,468 --> 07:36:11,920 evidence ignored an incredible amount of 11156 07:36:16,948 --> 07:36:14,478 eyewitness testimony or simply tried to 11157 07:36:19,030 --> 07:36:16,958 explain it away with no justification 11158 07:36:21,590 --> 07:36:19,040 for explaining it away 11159 07:36:23,430 --> 07:36:21,600 this government explanation roswell 11160 07:36:27,590 --> 07:36:23,440 report case closed 11161 07:36:30,310 --> 07:36:27,600 i believe is laughable in its attempt to 11162 07:36:32,628 --> 07:36:30,320 explain away what happened 11163 07:36:34,310 --> 07:36:32,638 in roswell 11164 07:36:37,910 --> 07:36:34,320 in 1947. 11165 07:36:40,230 --> 07:36:37,920 i also found a laughable video 11166 07:36:43,030 --> 07:36:40,240 explaining away the entire roswell 11167 07:36:45,910 --> 07:36:43,040 mystery that was put together 11168 07:36:48,150 --> 07:36:45,920 by government sources in order to 11169 07:36:51,030 --> 07:36:48,160 let the public know that roswell was 11170 07:36:54,070 --> 07:36:51,040 nothing special just a weather balloon 11171 07:36:55,430 --> 07:36:54,080 i don't buy it friends but i'm 11172 07:36:58,070 --> 07:36:55,440 presenting 11173 07:37:00,948 --> 07:36:58,080 their explanation here in our roswell 11174 07:37:02,628 --> 07:37:00,958 deep dive for the purposes of education 11175 07:37:04,788 --> 07:37:02,638 and history 11176 07:37:07,430 --> 07:37:04,798 you decide is the government being 11177 07:37:08,468 --> 07:37:07,440 truthful here or are they trying to 11178 07:37:21,700 --> 07:37:08,478 continue 11179 07:37:21,710 --> 07:37:28,548 [Music] 11180 07:37:33,830 --> 07:37:31,510 an event popularly known as the roswell 11181 07:37:36,070 --> 07:37:33,840 incident has recently been the subject 11182 07:37:38,388 --> 07:37:36,080 of intense interest by both the media 11183 07:37:41,350 --> 07:37:38,398 and a curious general public 11184 07:37:43,910 --> 07:37:41,360 in recent years numerous speculative 11185 07:37:47,670 --> 07:37:43,920 books magazine articles television 11186 07:37:50,868 --> 07:37:47,680 programs a made-for-tv movie two ufo 11187 07:37:53,510 --> 07:37:50,878 museums fraudulent documents and even an 11188 07:37:55,510 --> 07:37:53,520 alien autopsy film have emerged to 11189 07:37:58,468 --> 07:37:55,520 exploit the media fascination with the 11190 07:38:00,708 --> 07:37:58,478 roswell incident 11191 07:38:01,910 --> 07:38:00,718 the story has even gained international 11192 07:38:03,910 --> 07:38:01,920 attention 11193 07:38:06,230 --> 07:38:03,920 despite the vested interest and 11194 07:38:08,788 --> 07:38:06,240 questionable credibility of all sources 11195 07:38:11,270 --> 07:38:08,798 involved in generating the media hype 11196 07:38:14,230 --> 07:38:11,280 the u.s air force is routinely accused 11197 07:38:16,788 --> 07:38:14,240 of concealing a deep dark secret from 11198 07:38:19,430 --> 07:38:16,798 the american people 11199 07:38:21,270 --> 07:38:19,440 in early 1994 new mexico congressman 11200 07:38:23,270 --> 07:38:21,280 stephen schiff requested the general 11201 07:38:24,548 --> 07:38:23,280 accounting office initiate a records 11202 07:38:29,590 --> 07:38:24,558 review 11203 07:38:32,150 --> 07:38:29,600 determine if the u.s air force or any 11204 07:38:34,628 --> 07:38:32,160 other u.s government agency possessed 11205 07:38:38,670 --> 07:38:34,638 information on an alleged crash near 11206 07:38:41,430 --> 07:38:38,680 roswell new mexico in july 1947 of an 11207 07:38:42,948 --> 07:38:41,440 extraterrestrial vehicle and its alien 11208 07:38:45,350 --> 07:38:42,958 crew 11209 07:38:47,510 --> 07:38:45,360 in response to the gao probe the 11210 07:38:49,990 --> 07:38:47,520 secretary of the air force directed a 11211 07:38:52,150 --> 07:38:50,000 comprehensive search for records the 11212 07:38:54,468 --> 07:38:52,160 objective of this search was to tell the 11213 07:38:57,110 --> 07:38:54,478 congress and the american people what 11214 07:38:58,868 --> 07:38:57,120 the air force knew about the 1947 11215 07:39:00,948 --> 07:38:58,878 roswell claims 11216 07:39:03,830 --> 07:39:00,958 if the information was still classified 11217 07:39:05,670 --> 07:39:03,840 it was to be declassified if active or 11218 07:39:07,830 --> 07:39:05,680 former air force officials had signed 11219 07:39:10,868 --> 07:39:07,840 non-disclosure agreements they were to 11220 07:39:13,270 --> 07:39:10,878 be released from these agreements 11221 07:39:15,910 --> 07:39:13,280 the resulting 800 page report was 11222 07:39:17,430 --> 07:39:15,920 completed in july 1994. 11223 07:39:19,670 --> 07:39:17,440 the report concluded that the 11224 07:39:22,230 --> 07:39:19,680 predecessor to the u.s air force the u.s 11225 07:39:25,430 --> 07:39:22,240 army air forces did recover material 11226 07:39:27,510 --> 07:39:25,440 near roswell in july 1947. 11227 07:39:29,590 --> 07:39:27,520 what was recovered was not the remains 11228 07:39:32,388 --> 07:39:29,600 of an extraterrestrial spacecraft and 11229 07:39:34,948 --> 07:39:32,398 its alien crew but debris from a then 11230 07:39:37,990 --> 07:39:34,958 classified army air force's research 11231 07:39:40,070 --> 07:39:38,000 project codenamed mogul 11232 07:39:42,788 --> 07:39:40,080 begun in 1946 11233 07:39:45,590 --> 07:39:42,798 project mogul was a top-secret attempt 11234 07:39:47,830 --> 07:39:45,600 to acoustically detect suspected soviet 11235 07:39:48,948 --> 07:39:47,840 nuclear explosions and ballistic missile 11236 07:39:50,868 --> 07:39:48,958 launches 11237 07:39:53,510 --> 07:39:50,878 the project was accorded the highest 11238 07:39:55,670 --> 07:39:53,520 priority because it addressed the most 11239 07:39:56,628 --> 07:39:55,680 important post-war national defense 11240 07:39:59,030 --> 07:39:56,638 concern 11241 07:40:02,070 --> 07:39:59,040 development of an early warning system 11242 07:40:04,310 --> 07:40:02,080 to prevent a devastating surprise attack 11243 07:40:06,868 --> 07:40:04,320 mogul used an odd assortment of naval 11244 07:40:09,830 --> 07:40:06,878 acoustical sensors radar reflecting 11245 07:40:11,750 --> 07:40:09,840 targets nylon fibers and other equipment 11246 07:40:14,548 --> 07:40:11,760 carried aloft by a train of weather 11247 07:40:16,788 --> 07:40:14,558 balloons extending over 600 feet 11248 07:40:19,868 --> 07:40:16,798 claims that the u.s army air forces 11249 07:40:23,150 --> 07:40:19,878 recovered a flying disc near roswell in 11250 07:40:25,990 --> 07:40:23,160 1947 were based primarily on a 11251 07:40:28,070 --> 07:40:26,000 misidentification of the radar targets a 11252 07:40:30,628 --> 07:40:28,080 standard element of weather equipment 11253 07:40:32,388 --> 07:40:30,638 adapted for use on the long mogul 11254 07:40:35,990 --> 07:40:32,398 balloon train 11255 07:40:38,788 --> 07:40:36,000 in june 1947 the oddly constructed radar 11256 07:40:40,948 --> 07:40:38,798 targets were found by a local rancher 11257 07:40:42,468 --> 07:40:40,958 who later reported the equipment as a 11258 07:40:44,628 --> 07:40:42,478 flying disc 11259 07:40:47,670 --> 07:40:44,638 following some initial confusion at 11260 07:40:50,708 --> 07:40:47,680 roswell army airfield the flying disc 11261 07:40:51,670 --> 07:40:50,718 debris aluminum foil rubber paper and 11262 07:40:53,590 --> 07:40:51,680 sticks 11263 07:40:56,070 --> 07:40:53,600 was identified by army air force 11264 07:40:58,230 --> 07:40:56,080 officials as remnants of radar targets 11265 07:41:00,388 --> 07:40:58,240 and weather balloons 11266 07:41:02,708 --> 07:41:00,398 with the positive identification by the 11267 07:41:05,350 --> 07:41:02,718 army air forces of the debris recovered 11268 07:41:08,628 --> 07:41:05,360 by the rancher events that occurred in 11269 07:41:13,350 --> 07:41:08,638 1947 were officially resolved and 11270 07:41:18,230 --> 07:41:15,750 initially the roswell incident consisted 11271 07:41:19,750 --> 07:41:18,240 only of accounts of the recovery of a 11272 07:41:22,628 --> 07:41:19,760 flying disk 11273 07:41:24,548 --> 07:41:22,638 in 1947 there were no claims of alien 11274 07:41:26,388 --> 07:41:24,558 bodies associated with the roswell 11275 07:41:28,628 --> 07:41:26,398 incident 11276 07:41:30,628 --> 07:41:28,638 the recovery of alien bodies became part 11277 07:41:33,430 --> 07:41:30,638 of the roswell story during the late 11278 07:41:36,388 --> 07:41:33,440 1970s with other claims being made in 11279 07:41:38,628 --> 07:41:36,398 the 1980s and 1990s 11280 07:41:41,270 --> 07:41:38,638 these later day revisions to the roswell 11281 07:41:43,190 --> 07:41:41,280 story were often based on anecdotal 11282 07:41:46,310 --> 07:41:43,200 accounts from second and third hand 11283 07:41:50,070 --> 07:41:46,320 witnesses collected by ufo enthusiasts 11284 07:41:52,388 --> 07:41:50,080 40 or more years after the actual event 11285 07:41:53,830 --> 07:41:52,398 the same anecdotal accounts that refer 11286 07:41:55,910 --> 07:41:53,840 to bodies 11287 07:41:58,388 --> 07:41:55,920 also described large-scale field 11288 07:42:00,548 --> 07:41:58,398 operations conducted by u.s military 11289 07:42:02,628 --> 07:42:00,558 personnel using an assortment of 11290 07:42:05,510 --> 07:42:02,638 military vehicles and aircraft to 11291 07:42:07,910 --> 07:42:05,520 recover crashed debris supposedly from 11292 07:42:10,788 --> 07:42:07,920 an extraterrestrial spaceship 11293 07:42:13,510 --> 07:42:10,798 military personnel were allegedly led by 11294 07:42:15,270 --> 07:42:13,520 an angry red-headed captain 11295 07:42:17,430 --> 07:42:15,280 threatening those who witnessed the 11296 07:42:19,910 --> 07:42:17,440 operation with imprisonment or death if 11297 07:42:22,468 --> 07:42:19,920 they revealed what they observed 11298 07:42:25,350 --> 07:42:22,478 the popular roswell story contends that 11299 07:42:28,070 --> 07:42:25,360 the bodies once recovered were allegedly 11300 07:42:30,948 --> 07:42:28,080 transported under tight security to the 11301 07:42:32,868 --> 07:42:30,958 base hospital at roswell army airfield 11302 07:42:35,270 --> 07:42:32,878 for autopsy 11303 07:42:37,830 --> 07:42:35,280 at the hospital the angry red-headed 11304 07:42:39,990 --> 07:42:37,840 captain was again allegedly observed 11305 07:42:42,150 --> 07:42:40,000 threatening civilians 11306 07:42:44,468 --> 07:42:42,160 following the purported autopsies the 11307 07:42:47,110 --> 07:42:44,478 alien bodies were supposedly transported 11308 07:42:49,510 --> 07:42:47,120 to right field ohio now wright-patterson 11309 07:42:51,030 --> 07:42:49,520 air force base for further processing 11310 07:42:53,270 --> 07:42:51,040 and storage 11311 07:42:58,070 --> 07:42:53,280 this summarizes the roswell incident 11312 07:43:00,628 --> 07:42:58,080 scenario as presented by ufo enthusiasts 11313 07:43:02,788 --> 07:43:00,638 on the surface this explanation may 11314 07:43:04,948 --> 07:43:02,798 appear plausible to some 11315 07:43:06,070 --> 07:43:04,958 however things are not always as they 11316 07:43:08,388 --> 07:43:06,080 appear 11317 07:43:11,910 --> 07:43:08,398 the reports of bodies were only briefly 11318 07:43:15,190 --> 07:43:11,920 discussed in the 1994 air force report 11319 07:43:17,750 --> 07:43:15,200 because the search for records from 1947 11320 07:43:21,190 --> 07:43:17,760 the year of the alleged incident did not 11321 07:43:23,190 --> 07:43:21,200 yield any data to support a 1947 claim 11322 07:43:24,830 --> 07:43:23,200 of alien bodies 11323 07:43:26,868 --> 07:43:24,840 however following the release of the 11324 07:43:28,708 --> 07:43:26,878 1994 report 11325 07:43:30,948 --> 07:43:28,718 additional research uncovered 11326 07:43:33,750 --> 07:43:30,958 information which explains some of the 11327 07:43:35,990 --> 07:43:33,760 claims of alien bodies associated with 11328 07:43:38,388 --> 07:43:36,000 the roswell incident 11329 07:43:40,628 --> 07:43:38,398 from the additional research a second 11330 07:43:42,948 --> 07:43:40,638 report was written which critically 11331 07:43:46,230 --> 07:43:42,958 examined the anecdotal claims and 11332 07:43:48,230 --> 07:43:46,240 descriptions of flying saucers aliens 11333 07:43:51,590 --> 07:43:48,240 and reports of unusual air force 11334 07:43:54,708 --> 07:43:51,600 activities in the new mexico desert 11335 07:43:57,030 --> 07:43:54,718 this in-depth examination revealed that 11336 07:43:59,190 --> 07:43:57,040 many of these claims were reasonably 11337 07:44:00,788 --> 07:43:59,200 accurate descriptions of air force 11338 07:44:03,510 --> 07:44:00,798 activities 11339 07:44:05,830 --> 07:44:03,520 some of the claims that refer to bodies 11340 07:44:08,468 --> 07:44:05,840 are most likely misperceptions by 11341 07:44:10,708 --> 07:44:08,478 uninformed persons of unclassified and 11342 07:44:13,190 --> 07:44:10,718 widely publicized air force scientific 11343 07:44:15,750 --> 07:44:13,200 achievements of the 1950s 11344 07:44:18,388 --> 07:44:15,760 however other descriptions of bodies 11345 07:44:21,030 --> 07:44:18,398 appear to be exploitation of air force 11346 07:44:23,910 --> 07:44:21,040 members killed or injured in the line of 11347 07:44:27,830 --> 07:44:25,830 the following are the five main 11348 07:44:30,468 --> 07:44:27,840 conclusions contained in the second 11349 07:44:35,510 --> 07:44:32,868 research reveals that actual u.s 11350 07:44:38,868 --> 07:44:35,520 military operations widely separated by 11351 07:44:41,430 --> 07:44:38,878 time

these misrepresentations collectively 11355 07:44:49,590 --> 07:44:48,320 created what is known as the roswell 11356 07:44:52,230 --> 07:44:49,600 incident 11357 07:44:54,548 --> 07:44:52,240 ufo

may have 11565 07:54:01,590 --> 07:53:58,878 inspired at least one account of an 11566 07:54:03,350 --> 07:54:01,600 alien craft associated with the roswell 11567 07:54:05,830 --> 07:54:03,360

the allegations made 11588 07:55:10,708 --> 07:55:08,000 by ufo proponents there is no evidence 11589 07:55:12,788 --> 07:55:10,718 of any kind that kittinger confronted or 11590 07:55:14,868 -->

11611 07:56:16,708 --> 07:56:14,638 the final and most disturbing conclusion 11612 07:56:19,350 --> 07:56:16,718 of the second roswell report 11613 07:56:21,270 --> 07:56:19,360 is the apparent exploitation of air 11614 07:56:23,990 --> 07:56:21,280 force members killed or injured in the 11615 07:56:30,070 --> 07:56:24,000 line of duty to perpetuate the alleged 11616 07:56:34,868 --> 07:56:32,708 claims of bodies at the roswell army 11617 07:56:36,788 --> 07:56:34,878 airfield hospital were likely a 11618 07:56:39,430 --> 07:56:36,798 combination of several aircraft 11619 07:56:40,548 --> 07:56:39,440 accidents and an unusual manned balloon 11620 07:56:42,548 --> 07:56:40,558 mishap 11621 07:56:44,788 --> 07:56:42,558 one aircraft accident occurred on june 11622

07:57:10,080 the walker air force base hospital 11634 07:57:14,628 --> 07:57:12,398 the alleged claims of bodies at the base 11635 07:57:17,270 --> 07:57:14,638 hospital can be traced to a single 11636 07:57:19,190 --> 07:57:17,280 witness whose descriptions closely match 11637 07:57:20,548 --> 07:57:19,200 the condition and the circumstances 11638 07:57:22,628 --> 07:57:20,558 under which these victims were 11639 07:57:25,190 --> 07:57:22,638 identified 11640 07:57:27,670 --> 07:57:25,200 furthermore claims of bodies attributed 11641 07:57:29,350 --> 07:57:27,680 to specific air force

simply 11732 08:01:27,830 --> 08:01:27,040 discount all of the eyewitness testimony 11733 08:01:30,468 --> 08:01:27,840 or 11734 08:01:31,510 --> 08:01:30,478 attempt to explain it away with no 11735 08:01:36,150 --> 08:01:31,520 real 11736 08:01:41,350 --> 08:01:38,628 those death bed confessions that many 11737 08:01:42,468 --> 08:01:41,360 people gave about seeing debris and even 11738 08:01:45,190 --> 08:01:42,478 bodies 11739 08:01:47,190 --> 08:01:45,200 weighs very heavily on my decision 11740 08:01:49,110 --> 08:01:47,200 making process 11741 08:01:50,708 --> 08:01:49,120 and
