I have read your books, books by other's on Roswell, seen most of the documentaries done on it. But by the far the best and most OBJECTIVE account appeared in the June MUFON issue of 1997. Yes, you know who I speak of: Kent Jeffrey's "Roswell--Anatomy of a Myth." Kent spent money and much time--as you have--on investigating the Roswell story. He was also so much taken by the subject that he help with the International Roswell Initiative which was a large petition to hopefully open any classified files on the Roswell Crash. Here was a man who was passionately involved and interviewed many of the same people you have and many that you didn't interview. This latter group includes "15 B-29 pilots and 2 B-29 navigatgors, all of whom were stationed at Roswell Army Air Field in July 1947" (page 7-8). According to Kent, a commercial airline pilot, "Not one single man had any direct knowledge of a crashed saucer or of any kind of unusual materail." Not one! "...Even more significantly, in all their collective years with the 509th Bomb Group, not one of these men had ever encountered any other individual who had such knowledge." You've also refused to adequately explain why "Irvin Newton, the weather officer at Forth Worth Army Air Field who was called in by General Ramey to identify the unususal debris (p. 11)" told Kent that he "immediately recognized it as being from an ML-307 radar reflector." Nor to point out that the symbols that he saw on some balsa sticks looked remarkably like what Major Marcel's son says he remembered seeing on a so-called "I-beam" of the debris he saw. Nor do you care to address that Glenn Davis's nurse, "Naomi Self," who allegedly saw the dead aliens, doesn't exist. As an investigator of over 120 formal UFO cases, when I find something like this, I throw out that witness's entire testimony. Witnesses do lie and sometimes while even signing forms to that effect or being videoed. Court rooms are full of liars under oath! Whole families have been know to lie under oath! I get all kinds of stories. The bigger the whopper the easier they fall. I'll give you one example; one that happens in the UFO community all the time. I had a man who alleged he had recovered debris during a dramatic UFO or meteorite event that occurred in Georgia in Feb. 1993. He looked good: He was in the newspaper the next day saying debris hit his pickup and trialer. The sheriff's dept. came out on the same night to examine his vehicle. He made a claim to his local insurance agent for the damage done. The police wrote up the report but it was unconclusive on what caused the damage. The insurance company, by the witness's own admission, denied his claim for the same reasons. But he has the debris--so he claims. "Light as a feather" he says. He drew a great drawing of it for me; looked much like the description of the alleged recovered fragment of a 1952 UFO near Washington, D.C. He also told me that the military were there the next day and had the area sealed off briefly as they searched for more debris. Where is the debris now? I'm supposed to believe it is in a storage shed in South Carolina; where he placed it after briefly moving from Georgia because of the ridicule he caught due to the newspaper story (a weak version of the Roswell death threats?) Now tens of thousands were witnessed to this event; no debate on the object coming over. FOI requests were sent to nearly every military/ABC agency you can think of and they all said, bull, to the story of them having a team down here. The Sheriff said no road was blocked off but the deputy who did the investigation lives now in Florida and can't be reached. The witness is middle-aged, self-employed, married, and a college graduate. On the surface a most respectable person. I can tell you he did a great video and took me to the site--the same place it was reported in the newpaper the next day--where the debris fell. He signed a MUFON general case form to what he said and it was just as spontaneous as can be. An independent witness had electromagnetic interference with his FM radio when the object passed over. Tens of thousands saw it. But the bottom line is I've seen no debris. The bottom line is there comes a point in every investigation where when something don't wash you have to accept that it didn't happen as the principal witness(s) say it happened. It could be that this witness will eventually bring me the debris but I'm not holding my breath! I brought up the F-4 crash as it comes as close to what should have happened following the alleged Roswell saucer crash. It occurred, literally, in my back yard so I got a birds-eye view of how the Air Force went about the plane's recovery. I saw the USAF's progess day-by-day and how they did the search. I got the official crash report under the FOIA and it matched exactly what I saw from day to day regarding the nearly month-long seach for debris. No, the report was not perfect. But it's deficency is for reasons that had nothing to do with the search. If 300 people turned out for an Air Alabama National recon. F-4 jet you can bet at least that many would have been looking for an alien craft. Yet, I have not heard of one soldier who has come forth to say he was part of the search party. Actually since you and others have been at this steadily now for over 20 years there should've been many, many who would've step forth with their recovery stories. You ignore much and yell loud about less. Kent in his article says "no UFO crashed at Roswell--with or without aliens. It did not happen. Period. For those willing to look objectively and rationally at all the evidence, this contention should become resoundingly clear, not just beyond a reasonable doubt, but beyond all doubt (p. 3)." Obviously, many in the UFO community still don't agree with Kent; I do. Best wishes, John
