The article/interview suggests that Kittenger was intimately involved the the "dropping of dummies" from high altitude balloons, and that many stories of lore about Roswell/aliens describe an unknown red haired Col being present at the scene, who was probably Kittenger. I believe the article is available at http://www.orlandosentinel.com
FROM THE MODERATOR The article can be found (at least for the next 2 weeks) at: http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/0629alie.htm Summary Growing criticism prompted the Air Force to launch a full-scale investigation, which ended in last week's report, optimistically titled, The Roswell Report; Case Closed. Still, McAndrew and Kittinger believe the witnesses are simply confusing 40- to 50-year-old events, and they note that no one claimed to have seen or heard of alien bodies until the 1970s. An ''alien'' with a large head seen walking on the base after the crash was actually a pilot whose head was grotesquely swollen after a parachuting injury, they said. ''People want to believe that there are UFOs, people want to believe that there are aliens.
