It was also decided, particularly after a review of the above popular literature,
that no specific attempt would be made to try to refute, point by point, the
numerous claims made in the various publications. Many of these claims appear
to be hearsay, undocumented, taken out of context, self-serving, or otherwise
dubious. Additionally, many of the above authors are not even in agreement over
various claims. Most notable of the confusing and now ever-changing claims is
the controversy over the date(s) of the alleged incident, the exact location(s) of the
purported debris, and the extent of the wreckage. Such discrepancies in claims
made the search much more difficult by greatly expanding the volume of records
that had to be searched.
An example of trying to deal with questionable claims is illustrated by the
following example: One of the popular books mentioned that was reviewed
claimed that the writers had submitted the names and serial numbers of "over
two dozen" personnel stationed at Roswell in July, 1947, to the Veterans Adminis-
tration and the Defense Department to confirm their military service. They then
listed eleven of these persons by name and asked the question: "Why does neither
the Defense Department nor the Veteran's Administration have records of any of
these men when we can document that each served at Roswell Army Air Field."
That claim sounded serious so SAF I AAZD was tasked to check these eleven
names in the Personnel Records Center in St. Louis. Using only the names (since
the authors did not list the serial numbers) the researcher quickly found records
readily identifiable with eight of these persons. The other three had such common
names that there could have been multiple possibilities. Interestingly, one of the
listed "missing" persons had a casualty report in his records reflecting that he
died in 1951, while the writers claimed to have interviewed him (or a person of
the exact same name) in 1990.
While the historical document search was in progress, it was decided to attempt
to locate and interview several persons identified as still living who could
possibly answer questions generated by the research. This had never been
officially done before, although most of the persons contacted reported that they
had also been contacted in the past by some of the listed authors or other private
researchers. In order to counter possible future arguments that the persons
interviewed were still "covering up" material because of prior security oaths, the
interviewees were provided with authorization from either the Secretary of the
Air Force or the Senior Security Official of the Air Force that would officially
allow discussion of classified information, if applicable, or free them from any
prior restriction in discussing the matter, if such existed. Again, the focus was on
interviewing persons that could address specific issues raised by research and no
consideration was given to try and locate every alleged witness claimed to have
been contacted by the various authors. For example, one of the interviewees
thought vital to obtain an official signed, sworn statement from was Sheridan
Cavitt, Lt Col, USAF (Retired), who is the last living member of the three persons
universally acknowledged to have recovered material from the Foster Ranch.
Others were also interviewed as information developed (discussed in detail later).
Additionally, in some cases survivors of deceased persons were also contacted in
