But behind all the UFO mania lies an uneasy truth. The events that transpired that summer are anything but clear-cut, with admitted coverups and conflicting explanations: It was a saucer! It was a spy craft! It was the Soviets! General Roger M. Ramey, Commanding General of 8th Airforce, and Col. Thomas J.
Sometime between mid-June and early July , rancher W. But U. A photograph of Jesse Marcel, the head intelligence officer who initially investigated and recovered some of the debris from the Roswell site, in the Corsicana Daily Sun, July 9, According to the explanation , the wreckage came from a spy device created for an until-then classified project called Project Mogul.
The device—a connected string of high-altitude balloons equipped with microphones—was designed to float furtively over the USSR , detecting sound waves at a stealth distance. It did not fly. Over the past 40 or so years there have been new claims and fresh leads, adding to the mystery and keeping the Roswell files very much alive. They have never been recovered, however. Randle previously said that the credibility of Dennis must be discounted because of inconsistencies, and told All About Space that the accounts of military personnel are not simply accepted just because of their background.
Likewise, there are civilian witnesses who are compelling. Rowe is certainly an interesting case. She was told of the crash by her father, a firefighter, who described creatures he had seen. According to Randle, Rowe said she was shown debris from the crash site, but had been told to stay quiet by the state.
She says there was evidence her phone had been tapped. We have been taken in, for a time, by some of those fakers, but in the long run it was we who investigated the case that removed many of those fakers, though based on evidence and not a belief there is no alien visitation. The point is that Marcel was backed up by other high-ranking officers, and many civilians who were part of the case. Marcel told what he had seen and done, and there was little embellishment in his testimony. Randle appeared in the documentary, " Roswell: The First Witness ".
Smith pondered why the former army officer retained the journal, and there was speculation over whether it may have contained a code. If it did, however, it could not be deciphered by even the best of minds, according to the documentary.
Smith also sought to discover what was written in a document held by Brigadier General Roger Ramey, Eighth Air Force commander, during the press conference. It was captured in a photograph taken by Star-Telegram reporter J. Bond Johnson, and ufologists have long wondered whether the words they struggle to make out refer to "victims of the wreck. There were other interesting explorations in the documentary series. A body-language expert examined video interviews of Marcel and said it appeared that he was telling the truth, at least as he saw it.
Experts including aviation crash investigator David Soucie were also taken to examine the crash site. Interestingly, the wind currents in the area were found to be inconsistent with a lightweight balloon crashing in the way that was described. As the documentary continued, more evidence emerged.
Crucially, there was a taped interview conversation between Marcel and author Linda G. Corley in which the military man discussed the items he found in See, I was an intelligence officer.
I handled intelligence and security for the base. The other is agriculture. Whether it drives much-needed visitors back to Roswell remains to be seen.
She was visiting Roswell for a 10th time, making the mile trip from her home in Clovis, New Mexico. At first, the army told the public that the debris was indeed a flying saucer. The Roswell Daily Record printed a large headline saying as much. But the army changed its tune the next day, saying the debris was really from a weather balloon, kicking off a conspiracy theory that persists decades later.
The event has spawned numerous documentaries, articles and books, as well as two television shows — one titled Roswell, the other Roswell, New Mexico. Today, much of the conspiracy theory lingers as kitsch around the city.
