GAO Report on Roswell, NM UFO Crash According to an Air Force official who has worked in the records management field since the mid-1940s, air accident reports prepared in July 1947 under Army regulations should have been transferred to Air Force custody in September 1947, when the Air Force was established as a separate service. Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the 1947 weather balloon crash at Roswell Air Field, New Mexico, focusing on: (1) the requirements for reporting air accidents similar to the Roswell crash; and (2) any government records concerning the Roswell crash. The Air Force report concluded that there was no dispute that something happened near Roswell in July 1947 and that all available official materials indicated the most likely source of the wreckage recovered was one of the project MOGUL balloon trains. www.fas.org /sgp/othergov/roswell.html

SCIFI.COM UFOLOGY Resource Center As we noted in a previous column, Wright Field Air Base was Maj. Jesse Marcel's original destination when he made his first trip escorting wreckage from Roswell Army Air Field. But an official Telex from the FBI's Dallas office disputed that version of events, alleging that a clandestine flight carried the recovered Roswell material to Wright Field and that FTD had made preparations for its arrival while the Army was still in the midst of spinning its weather-balloon story to the media. In July 1947, Exon was a lieutenant colonel assigned to the Foreign Technology Division at Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio. www.scifi.com /ufo/roswell/articles/017.html

The Roswell Story Roswell Army Air Field was the home of the 509th Bomb Group, which was an elite outfit--the only atomic group in the world. At a press conference in Fort Worth, the Army explained that the intelligence officer and others at Roswell had misidentified the debris, which was, in fact, the remains of a downed balloon with a metallic radar reflector attached, and not a flying saucer. Public interest faded, and the Roswell event became a part of UFO folklore, with most ufologists accepting the official government version of the story. www.nicap.dabsol.co.uk /roswell2.htm   (638 words)

CNN - Air Force says of Roswell: 'Case Closed - June 24, 1997 On July 7, 1947, the Roswell Army Air Field issued a news release saying it had a "flying disk" that had fallen, but the same evening an Air Force general in Fort Worth, Texas, said the craft was, in fact, a weather balloon. In 1994, the Air Force issued a report on the so-called "Roswell incident" that said the "spacecraft" that supposedly crashed in the desert was an Air Force balloon used in a top-secret research program. Released a week before the Roswell incident's 50th anniversary, the report says the controversy began with reports of unusual activities near Roswell, which involved recovery operations of high-altitude research balloons. www.cnn.com /TECH/9706/24/ufo.presser   (851 words)

Roswell: The whole story - Time for the truth about Roswell - UFO Evidence Roswell Army Air Field was the home of the 509th Bomb Group, which was an elite outfit--the only atomic group in the world. Likewise, the Roswell evidence, which would imply the existence of a superior nonhuman intelligence, could be seen as equally threatening to the creationist viewpoint It could be interpreted as implying that on a scale comparing the evolutionary development of different advanced species throughout the universe, human beings may not rate very high. The Roswell evidence could dispel such an ethnocentric view by confirming that the human race is just one single member in a large community of other intelligent races in the universe. www.ufoevidence.org /documents/doc375.htm   (4372 words)

ROSWELL INCIDENT REPORT The "Roswell Incident" refers to an event that supposedly happened in July, 1947, wherein the Army Air Forces (AAF) allegedly recovered remains of a crashed "flying disc" near Roswell, New Mexico. Fourth, many of the persons making the biggest claims of "alien bodies" make their living from the "Roswell Incident." While having a commercial interest in something does not automatically make it suspect, it does raise interesting questions related to authenticity. Activity reports (Atch 15), located in General Vandenberg's personal papers stored in the Library of Congress, did indicate that on July 7, he was busy with a "flying disc" incident; however this particular incident involved Ellington Field, Texas and the Spokane (Washington) Depot. www.af.mil /lib/roswell.html   (1845 words)

Yet, Governor Bill Richardson, the archaeology department of the University of New Mexico, the UFO International Museum of Roswell and the Science Fiction Channel believe some artifacts that the Army had failed to find in 1947 may remain on the property. However it was not a cover story for a crashed alien spacecraft but that of Project Mogul a secret project the Air Force were undertaking and that the bodies were those of rhesus monkeys. www.unexplained-mysteries.com /viewnews.php?id=29087   (1057 words)

Brig. General Arthur E. Exon In 1947 Exon was a Lt.-Colonel stationed at Wright Field at the time of the Roswell crash and heard of the incident at that time.  He said he also flew over the area of the crash some months later. According to Exon, once the nature of the crash at Roswell was understood, the information would have been passed up the chain of command.  Ramey probably called the Army Chief of Staff, Dwight Eisenhower. Exon named several others, including James Forrestal in his role as Secretary of War (later Defense), Stuart Symington, at that time the Under Secretary of War for Air, and President Truman.  Given the nature of the crash and the preliminary conclusions being drawn, the president had to be included. www.roswellproof.com /exon.html   (1825 words)

Robert Durant critiques Jim Wilson's Popular Mechanics Roswell hoax After sorting through the dozen large boxes, the intrepid journalist found "the primary documentation." This was the daily log of activities at the Roswell Army Air Field. Wilson rambles: "One of the scenarios that has not really been ruled out yet is that what crashed at Roswell is an experimental vehicle that was aimed at spying on the Soviets, and it was one of these things that just never really developed, because the technology did not mature in time. And finally, Wilson adds an explanation that has absolutely no basis in the historical record of aviation, a field in which he has a demonstrated, unquestionable expertise: "But we know that both the Germans and the Japanese were doing work with very high altitude manned balloons. www.roswellproof.com /Durant_Wilson_critique.html   (1825 words)

Roswell.htm Other records indicate that after the war, models of the Horten's designsand possibly constructed by the brothers themselvesand were tested in the wind tunnel at Wright Field, now Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Probing further into the fate of the Horten brothers, PM learned that just prior to their capture they had been working on the design for a new generation of circular-shaped vertical-takeoff aircraft, with specifications much like those described in the Silver Bug report. As for the Horten flying disc that the Reich had hoped would turn the tide of battle, patent rights to a remarkably similar craft configured to carry "passengers" would be assigned to the Lockheed aircraft company. wintersteel.homestead.com /files/CraigArticles/Roswell.htm   (3426 words)

Karmapolis - UK - Whitley Strieber interview Regarding this event, you state that your uncle, Col. Edward Strieber, who had spent much of his career at Wright-Patterson AFB, had first-hand information about the delivery of alien materials to Wright Field from the Roswell Army Air Base in the summer of 1947. Strieber is also an ambiguous man: beside the fact that he described with many explicit details the emotional and physical pain he endured during the abductions “procedures”, he also stresses the fact that alien encounters could become some kind of spiritual enlightment. Whitley Strieber : I don't think that language has yet evolved to describe why we see the phenomenon as we do. www.karmapolis.be /pipeline/interview_strieber_uk.htm   (2859 words)

Comments from our Visitors I was a member of the 509th after it came to Roswell Army Air Field (later Walker AFB). After Combat Engineer training at Fort Belvoir in Va. and a special school in Illinois, my assignment was to the Manhattan Project where I continued in "C" Shop until mid 1945 when I was transferred to Post Recruiting.

Update on Roswell Film Analysis from 'Skeptics' On June 2, 1947, Santilli's alleged cameraman (SAC) says he was despatched to the Roswell Army Air Field, then driven 160 miles west to near Socorro, where he filmed a crashed saucer and its four "freaks," three of whom were still alive. In Shell's Dec. 17 CompuServe memo, he acknowledged that this key issue cannot be resolved because "one whole edge of the film is torn off" in both of his filmstrip samples and the one shown by Fox. For example, if the film Santilli acquired is a copy made on a printer that did not become available until the mid/late 1950s, then SAC's tale -- as related by Santilli -- can not possibly be true. www.v-j-enterprises.com /1996updt.html   (1762 words)
