Government reservations, then this explains why they may have been told to leave the
landing site. In the popular Roswell scenarios, witnesses were allegedly instructed
by military personnel to leave the area because they witnessed something of a highly
classified nature. This would be unlikely since the witnesses described projects that
utilized anthropomorphic dummies which were unclassified. It is likely, however,
that if the witnesses ventured onto one of these ranges they were instructed to leave,
not because of classified activities, but for their own safety.
These conclusions are supported by official files, technical reports,
extensive photographic documentation, and the recollections of numerous
former and retired Air Force members and civilian employees who conducted
Projects HIGH DIVE and ExcELSIOR. The descriptions examined here, provided
by UFO theorists themselves, were so remarkably-and redundantly- similar
to these Air Force projects that the only reasonable conclusion can be that the
witnesses described these activities. These many similarities are summarized in
Tablel.l.
The next section will examine the accounts of "aliens" at the
hospital at Roswell Army Air Field. As previously stated, due to the lack of
general or detailed similarities with testimony of the two rural "crash sites,"
the hospital account was determined not to be associated with these reports.
