I don't know if these claims have been posted before, but I
considered them worth mentioning.

Ex-GI Claims The Army Tracked UFOs On Radar As Early As 1942

On Sunday night, March 17, 1996, the Learning Channel aired a
special one-hour broadcast called "Incident at Roswell." Many
Roswell eyewitnesses were interviewed, including Frank Kaufmann,
who had a most interesting tale to tell.

During World War II, Kaufmann was assigned to the
Counter-Intelligence Corps (CIC). The Army put him through
specialized training designed to turn him into a competent
aviation mechanic and then "planted" him at the new Roswell air
base in 1943.

Why? Well, according to Kaufmann, while facilities for the
Manhattan Project, i.e. the atomic bomb, were being constructed,
Army radar stations in Albuquerque, Los Alamos and Alamogordo
regularly picked up unidentified blips on their screens. These
radar contacts began in 1942 and continued right up to the
Roswell incident. Kaufmann said the UFOs "would hover two or
three thousand feet in the air and then drop like a stone, zip,
right off the screen."

Concerned about the threat to the Manhattan Project, the Army
placed several CIC agents at the Roswell base. When the report
of a crashed UFO came from Brigadier General Martin Scanlan on
July 4, 1947, Kaufmann and his team of agents went out to the
crash site, which he described as "very rough country, no roads
at all." They found the UFO, shaped like a man's shoe heel,
crashed into the wall of an arroyo. The vehicle was split open,
and the team found four dead aliens...and one that was still
alive!

Kaufmann said the UFO was loaded onto a flatbed truck, brought
back to the base, and stored in Hangar 84, which had an armed
M.P. platoon all around it. The four dead aliens were laid out
on a tarpaulin before the ambulance took them to the base
hospital for the autopsy.

Apparently, there's a lot of information about UFOs in the U.S.
during World War II and the Army Air Corps response to the
threat that remains locked away in the Top Secret file cabinets.
