SYNOPSIS OF ROSWELL INCIDENT
I am writing to request a clarifica-
rion of the U.S. Government's cu~nt position concerning
events which occurred in and around Roswell. New Mex-
ico; in July 1947.
According to newspaper accounts and eyewitness reports.
a local rancher. William W. Brazel. discovered pieces of
d bris from an object which crashed on the property he
managed outside Corona. on or about July 2. 1947. He
brought some of this material to the :mention of Chaves
County Sheriff George Wilcox. who called the Roswell Ar-
my Air Field. The base Intelligence Officer, Jesse A. Marcel.
and a Counter Intelligence Corps Officer, Sheridan Cavitt,
went to the ranch to inspect the material.
They discovered a gre:~t deal of lightweight debris which
couldn't be cut. burned, or even dented with a sledgeham-·
mer. On orders from the base commander, Col. William
Blanchard. the Public Information Officer, Walter G. Haut,
issued a news release that the Amry Air Force had recovered
''lying disc." Some of the debris was flown to Fort Worth,
..as where the Commander of the Eighth Air Force, Gen.
Roger Ramey. identified the m.aterial for the press as the
remains o.f a weather balloon and its r2dar target.
However, subsequent investigation has I'Oiised considei.lble
doubt about the weather balloon explanation. For e:wnple:.
• According to his son arid neighbors, Brazel was held
incommunicado by officials at the Roswell base for nearly
a week, questioned extensively :md ordered not to say
anything about his experience; however, in a newspaper in-
terview, he said that the material he recovered "did not in
any way resemble a weather balloon," many of which he
had recovered on his property.
• Sheriff Wilcox. to whom Brazel initially reported find-
ing the debris. also was .ordered by the military not to say
anyt~ing. but members of his family say that not only did
he see debris at the crash site - he :llso saw four "space"
beings," one of whom was alive. Moreover, his gi.lnd-
daughter, Barbara Dugger, was told by her grandmother, Inez
Wilcox, that the entire family was threatened with death by
the military if they discussed the incident.
• The former manager of KGFL Radio in Roswell, Jud
Roberts, says the station was threatened with loss of its
license by government officials in Washington, DC, if it
broadcast the story about the "flying saucer." In addition,
·rding to Lydia Sleppy, a secretary at KOAT Radio in
Jquerque, a wire transmission of the news story on the
event was interrupted by a message something like: "CEASE
TRANSMISSION. NATIONAL SECURITY ITEM."
• According to Brig.. Gen .. Thomas 1. DuBose .(USAF,.
ret.), who was Gen. Ramey's Chief of Staff, Maj Gen.
Clements McMullen. the Deputy and Acting Commander.
Str.~tegic Air Command, at Andrews ·Army Air .Field,
ordered that some of the debris recovered on the ranch be
brought directly to him in Washington. Gen. DuBose says
officials at the Headquarters of the Eighth Air Force were
directed to tell the press that the material was from a weather
balloon I'Oidar target, and that the weather balloon explana-
tion was a "cover story" to divert the attention of the press.
• The pilot who transpOrted some of the wreckage, Oliver
W. Henderson, said he saw the bodies of alien beings at the
Roswell base, according to his widow, Sappho Henderson,
his daughter. Mary Kathryn Groode, and his friend, John
Kromschroeder.
• A mortician who worked for the funCr.ll home in
Roswell, Glenn Dennis, says an:Arrr.y nurse friend told him
about participating in the autopsies of three alien bodies at
the base.
Therefore, [ am formally requesting that you seek to deter-
mine whether the highly unusual material recovered near
Corona was from a "flying disc," a weather balloon, or
something else.
Please advise me. at your earliest opportunity, of the
United States Government's current position on the nature
of the material recovered outside Roswell, New Me.""tico, in
July 1947, and its current explanation for all official actions
taken with respect to this event.
Sincerely,
