POSITION
STATEMENT: I
believe that we have
been visited by extraterrestrial creatures. I base that conclusion on
my
research into the Roswell UFO crash, my interviews with the men and
women
involved on that case, and the limited documentation available.
Roswell Incident, The (Grosset and
Dunlap, 1980). Charles Berlitz and William Moore produced the second
book,
after Frank Scullyís in 1950, to allege a crashed spacecraft and
alien bodies were retrieved by the U.S. military in New Mexico during
the
1940s and kept in storage at an Air Force base. Their version relied on
the eyewitness testimony of Major Jesse Marcel who investigated a
debris
field he could not identify on a ranch outside Roswell. Marcel never
claimed
to have seen alien bodies, so Berlitz and Moore only ìpostulate
a tentative picture of the sequence of eventsî to support that
prospect.

Roswell (New Mexico) incident Just two
weeks after the famous Kenneth Arnold sighting (of June 24, 1947),
which
ushered in the modern ìflying saucerî era, headlines such
as ìFlying Disk Captured by Air Forceî and ìRAAF
Captures
Flying Saucerî were splashed across the front pages of newspapers
across the United States. The front-page story read in part:
ìThe many rumors regarding
the flying disc became a reality yesterday when the intelligence
officer
of the 509th Bomb Group of the Eighth Air Force, Roswell Army Air
Field,
was fortunate enough to gain possession of a disc through the
cooperation
of one of the local ranchers and the sheriff's office of Chaves
County.ìAction
was immediately taken and the disc was picked up at the
rancherís
home. It was inspected at the Roswell Army Air Field and subsequently
loaned
by Major Marcel to higher headquarters.î By the next day, the
ìflying
saucerî no longer existed. It became, instead, a crashed weather
balloon. Not until three decades later would the case be reopened by
persistent
UFOlogists, who eventually pressured the U.S. government into reopening
the case themselves.
