In what is now known as the “the Roswell incident,” the U. S. Indeed, should irrefutable evidence ever surface that any government on this earth possessed the physical remains of either an extraterrestrial spacecraft or its occupants, it is an understatement to say that such a revelation would fundamentally transform humanity as we know it.

The Roswell “mystery” has been solved, and there is no credible evidence that the remains of an extraterrestrial spacecraft was involved. The Original Roswell Event. For non—UFO buffs, the Roswell incident effectively began after the Fourth of July holiday weekend in 1.
William “Mac” Brazel reported to the local sheriff, George Wilcox, that he might have recovered the remains of “one of them flying saucers.” Wilcox, according to various accounts, then contacted military authorities at nearby Roswell Army Air Field, where Major Jesse Marcel was assigned to investigate. Marcel and two Counter Intelligence Corps agents, Sheridan Cavitt and Lewis Rickett, drove out to the ranch where Brazel worked to examine and collect the wreckage.
On July 8, 1. 94. Roswell AAF made the startling announcement that they had recovered the remains of a “flying disc.”However, by the next day the excitement was over. Brigadier General Roger Ramey, who had ordered the wreckage sent to him for examination at Carswell Air Force Base (also known as Fort Worth), held a press conference, with Major Marcel present, and announced that all the hoopla had been over a mistaken weather balloon, and nothing more.
With Ramey’s deflating announcement, the Roswell “flying saucer” story was effectively dead and would remain so for decades. Then, in 1. 97. 8, UFO researcher Stanton Friedman happened to meet Marcel. Because Marcel dredged up his recovered- saucer story, and Friedman thought he had at last found a “star” witness who could blow open the U. S. However, this is not the case, for the authors of numerous Roswell books play the numbers game as well. In the pro- UFO book The Truth About the UFO Crash at Roswell, Kevin Randle and Donald Schmitt note the fact that Bill Moore, coauthor of The Roswell Incident (1. The relevant issue is not how many witnesses were interviewed, but rather what type of witnesses (i. Unfortunately, a careful reading of Bill Moore and Charles Berlitz’s Roswell Incident reveals that, despite the impressive claim of having “interviewed more than seventy witnesses,” the testimonies of just twenty- five people are presented.
Out of these twenty- five, only seven of them are firsthand sources who claim to have seen the alleged saucer debris, and one of these accounts is suspect. Of these seven people, however, only five claim to have actually handled the material personally, and one of them is adamant that it was not from an extraterrestrial spacecraft.
The remainder of the professed “witnesses” cited in The Roswell Incident are either secondhand sources (whose testimonies constitute hearsay) or people who saw no wreckage at all or were never present at the “debris field” during the critical time. In other words, they are not actually witnesses in the true sense of the word.
Father Time and Flawed Memories. While the pro- UFO community and the Roswell authors stress the number of witnesses, another factor in their firm belief that an extraterrestrial spacecraft crashed at Roswell is the apparent consistency of the eyewitness testimonies. However, a careful reading of the statements presented in The Roswell Incident and elsewhere reveals that there are serious discrepancies among the various accounts which, when analyzed in detail and taken collectively, severely weaken the case. One undeniable truth that many UFO advocates seem to easily forget is that when Moore and Friedman first started interviewing some of the original witnesses regarding Roswell, the recollections of these people had undoubtedly changed. If nothing else, their memories reflected the passage of nearly thirty- one years, if not more. Even the very first person interviewed, Marcel, was not questioned by Friedman until 1.
It is an irrefutable fact that the passage of time erodes the accuracy of one’s recollections of an event. Despite this, the Roswell authors continue to stress just how “clear and sharp” their witnesses’ memories are, even though nearly fifty years have now elapsed. Certainly these memories could not have improved.
Perhaps the most absurd attempt to paint the Roswell eyewitnesses and their testimonies as beyond dispute can be found in Randle and Schmitt’s The Truth about the UFO Crash at Roswell, which was later adapted for television by Showtime, under the name Roswell. In drawing a parallel between the alleged UFO events at Roswell and the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Randle and Schmitt state, “The Roswell memories are vivid and detailed, despite the passage of so many years” and constitute a “snapshot memory.”If this is the case, to use Randle and Schmitt’s analogy, then these people forgot to load film in their camera, for even the most important “star” witness to Roswell, Major Marcel, when first interviewed, could not even remember the year of the alleged UFO crash, let alone the month. Indeed, Marcel’s own answer as to when this supposed “snapshot memory” event took place was simply “in the late forties. For the first time, these testimonies are exposed for what they are: a mishmash of erroneous accounts, embellishments and outright confabulations.
In fact, as I show, some of the people who have been touted as witnesses by the pro- UFO Roswell authors are not really witnesses at all. Here are some examples: Lydia Sleppy: Claims she was operating a teletype machine announcing the recovery of the flying disk when her teletype suddenly went dead and broadcast an ominous message from the FBI back to her ordering her to stop broadcasting the story in the interests of national security.
Truth: A check by this author with all relevant FBI field offices and their headquarters turned up no evidence that the FBI sent any such message, nor did they have the monitoring equipment in place to do so. Furthermore, the type of teletype machine in use by Sleppy at the time would have required her to throw a “receiver” switch in order for her to receive an incoming transmission. There was no way that the FBI could have “interrupted” her as she claims. Loretta Proctor: Neighbor of Mac Brazel, the rancher who originally discovered the “saucer” debris. She claims she tried to bend, burn, and break a piece of the material Brazel showed her but was unable to. Proctor’s testimony is used by crashed- saucer buffs to buttress the argument that a spaceship made of unknown, exotic material crashed near Roswell. Truth: Loretta Proctor has changed her story several times.
She has transformed herself from a “witness” who never saw any debris, to one who now tried to bend, break, and burn the “mysterious” material. She began changing her account after her husband, Floyd, who made it very clear in earlier interviews that they had never seen any material, passed away. Sergeant Melvin E. Brown: Brown is touted as a “witness” who saw alien bodies by Roswell authors Friedman, Randle and Schmitt, and Michael Hesemann and Philip Mantle (Beyond Roswell).
Truth: Melvin Brown cannot be considered a witness since he died in 1. UFO researchers. Indeed, the only “proof” one has that Brown was a “witness” comes from his daughter, Beverly Bean, who first made the claim years after his death. No other member of Brown’s family supports her claim. Furthermore, a check by this author of Brown’s military file revealed that he was a cook who held no security clearance and never pulled guard duty. Also noted in the book are the blatant contradictions and changes in Beverly Bean’s various accounts. Major Jesse Marcel: The Hidden Truth. In my book I publish for the first time excerpts from the military file of Jesse Marcel, excerpts which prove that although Marcel served his country honorably, he was not a credible witness and should not be considered as such.
Ironically, Marcel’s tendency to exaggerate was specifically noted in his military file by none other than the commander of the base at Roswell at that time, in a review of his performance that was signed just after the incident occurred. Marcel claimed that he personally flew the UFO wreckage to Carswell AFB.
He could not have done so, for he was never a pilot. Despite this, Marcel claimed in numerous interviews with Friedman and former National Enquirer reporter Bob Pratt that he was not only a pilot but had managed to shoot down five enemy aircraft! If so, this would have made Marcel an “ace,” a distinction that certainly would have been noted in his military file. Instead, there’s no record of this or even anything close, and in fact it was General Ramey who specifically noted in Marcel’s file that because he was not a pilot, he would be severely limited in his career opportunities in the Air Force.
