The Roswell Report: Case Closed

wouldn't this make a beautiful ring?" And she was holding what looked like
a red rod, a red tube that was some kind of silvery-red.
And he kind of snapped at her, you know, "Put that down because
you don't know what that thing is. That thing could hurt you. Don't pick
this stuff up."
And she kind of said, "Well, yes, okay, doctor." And then he went
back to what he was doing and she walked away and put it in her pocket.
And a lot of them were doing this, sort of picking up things and
feeling things. I was picking up things and feeling things. It was all kinds of
material and metal, stuff like that. I heard it, well, we all heard it, the sound
of a motor coming, like a truck. And I went back up the incline area to the
ridge line and I could see out there, there was a truck coming up. It was an
old pick-up truck. It was sort of a beige color, a tan colored van with an
antenna on it. And it stopped and this guy got out and he's wearing brown
clothes. He's got boots on and he's wearing a straw hat, just like the kind
that Harry Truman always wore, and he had wire rimmed glasses. He was a
big man and he looked exactly like Harry Truman to me. You know, I'd seen
him in the Movietone News ...
Q: He was president then.
A: Yes, I was well aware who Harry Truman was. Everybody
was. He was kind of a hero, you know, and he just kind of looked like him
except bigger, bigger. You know, I don't think he-and he didn't look as old
either. His hair was kind of light gray.
And he walked over there and they got to talking, you know, with
everybody and he told them that he worked out on the plains out there and
that he made maps and that he had seen the wreckage from out there on the
plains and he saw the people and he thought it was a plane wreck and, you
know, that something was going on and he came over to see.
And he hadn't been there but just a very, very few minutes when
we heard all kinds of motors and engines straining and stuff. And here
comes a military car with a big white star on the side of it followed by a six-
by which is a military truck with a kind of canvas wagon, kind of a canvas
thing over it and it's full of soldiers. They've got guns. And right behind
them is what we call a four-by which is like a medium sized jeep/truck
situation and it had two big high whip antennas, all kinds of radio gear in the
back and a guy back there with ear phones and stuff on and he's, you know,
working these radios. And they all pulled up and stopped.
Q: Which direction did they come from, do you know?
A: They came from the north, from the Horse Springs area, right...
Q: So they could have come off the highway there ...
A: Oh, yes. I'm sure that's exactly how they got there. They
come off the highway, the same way we did. Well, in the meantime, when
the stopped, this black soldier, this sergeant, the reason I know he was a
