example, it was originally reported that there was only recovery of debris from
one site. This has since grown from a minimal amount of debris recovered from
a small area to airplane loads of debris from multiple huge "debris fields."
Likewise, the relatively simple description of sticks, paper, tape and tinfoil has
since grown to exotic metals with hieroglyphics and fiber optic-like materials.
Most versions now claim that there were two crash sites where debris was
recovered, and at the second site, alleged bodies of extraterrestrial aliens were
supposedly retrieved. The number of these "alien bodies" recovered also varied.
These claims are further complicated by the fact that UFO researchers are not in
agreement among themselves as to exactly where these recovery sites were
located or even the dates of the alleged crash(es). Consistently, however, the AAF
was accused of securing these sites, recovering all the material therefrom, keeping
locals away, and returning the recovered wreckage (and bodies) to Roswell under
extremely tight security for further processing and later exploitation.
Once back at Roswell Army Air Field, it is generally alleged that special measures
were taken to notify higher headquarters and arrangements made to have
recovered materials shipped to other locations for analysis. These locations
include Fort Worth, Texas, the home of the Eighth Air Force Headquarters;
possibly Sandia Base (now Kirtland AFB), New Mexico; possibly Andrews Army
Air Field, Maryland; and always to Wright Field, now known as Wright-Patterson
AFB, Ohio. The latter location was the home of "T-2" which later became known
as the Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) and the Air Materiel Command
(AMC), and would, in fact, be a logical location to study unknown materials from
whatever origin. Most of the Roswell stories that contain the recovery of alien
bodies also show them being shipped to Wright Field. Once the material and
bodies were dispersed for further analysis and/ or exploitation, the government
in general, and the Army Air Forces in particular, engaged in covering up all
information relating to the alleged crash and recovery, including the use of
security oaths to military persons and the use of coercion (including alleged death
threats) to others. This, as theorized by some UFO researchers, has allowed the
government to keep the fact that there is intelligent extraterrestrial life from the
American public for 47 years. It also supposedly allowed the US Government to
exploit recovered extraterrestrial materials by reverse engineering them, ultimately
providing such things as fiber optic and stealth technology. The "death threats,"
oaths, and other forms of coercion alleged to have been meted out by the AAF
personnel to keep people from talking have apparently not been very effective,
as several hundred people are claimed to have come forward (without harm) with
some knowledge of the "Roswell Incident" during interviews with nongovern-
ment researchers and the media.
Adding some measure of credibility to the claims that have arisen since 1978 is
the apparent depth of research of some of the authors and the extent of their
efforts. Their claims are lessened somewhat, however, by the fact that almost all
their information came from verbal reports many years after the alleged incident
occurred. Many of the persons interviewed were, in fact, stationed at, or lived
near Roswell during the time in question, and a number of them claim military
