COMMENT:  I haunted Roswell Airfield last month. The Air Force renovated
almost the whole base. Hangars and buildings now shining off in light
desert-brown. A high new tower. And strange things are still going strong
down there: Hangar # 1935, close to the fuel tank farm in the  northwestern
corner, has definitely become the best protected spot of the base: Big
videocamera mounted on the roof, surveilling the paved access road.
Building in outstanding dark grey. High barbed wire fence at the gate.
Special keypad-access control unit there. Only about three minutes after me
approaching that site to take pictures of Roving Sands' F-14 Tomcats coming
in, a blue Ford with NM license plates comes crawling down the road. Two
civilians. Black sunglasses. Binocs. They check me out! Being out of
film-ammo, I jump back into my car, swing it around, pushing the pedal to
the metal. Which makes Navy Intelligence-folks pull back swiftly and dash
down Earl Cummings Boulevard (Navy? Because Roswell base was shape-shifted
into a Navy aircraft carrier during Roving Sands exercise!) . The Air Force
usually running the place seems particularly worried about THAT hangar
(actually, it's two hangars built together).....No problemo to hang around
the place's fenceline elsewhere..... And no, it's not the 24 hours alert
craft site. So what is stored inside Hangar # 1935 at Roswell?
