SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT
|
||
|
|
||
|
Anderson also touched one of the creatures lying motionless on the
|
||
|
ground - and it, too was cold. In his child's mind, he had thought the
|
||
|
figures looked like dolls. But when he felt the cool skin, " I knew
|
||
|
something wasn't quite right. Yuck!.
|
||
|
Anderson says he ran to the crest of a nearby knoll to take stock. A
|
||
|
pickup truck arrived on the ridge, and a fellow whom researchers believe
|
||
|
was a civil engineer named Barney Barnett joined the curious audience. "I
|
||
|
remember thinking he looked like Harry Truman. In 1947, every kid knew
|
||
|
what Harry Truman looked like," Anderson says.
|
||
|
After a few minutes, Anderson summoned the courage to agin creep close
|
||
|
to the strange saucer. It was then more chilling than the surface of the
|
||
|
craft of the skin of the corpse; The upright creature turned and looked
|
||
|
right at me and it was like he was inside my head - as if he was doing my
|
||
|
thinking, as if his thoughts were in my head."
|
||
|
Anderson remembers a mental sensation of falling and tumbling
|
||
|
end-over-end. "I felt that thing's fear, felt its depression, felt its
|
||
|
loneliness. I relived the crash. I know the terror it went through. That
|
||
|
one look told me everything that quickly," he says with a snap of his
|
||
|
fingers.
|
||
|
Other things began happening quickly about this time, Anderson says. A
|
||
|
contingent of armed soldiers suddenly appeared. The creature, which had
|
||
|
calmed down after its initial fright, "went crazy" at the sight of the
|
||
|
soldiers. Thinking back on the creature's plight today brings on the
|
||
|
"awfulest, horrible feeling," Anderson says.
|
||
|
"His situation was hopeless. He knew it. He'd just lived through a
|
||
|
nightmare that most of us wouldn't be able to psychologically stand. He'd
|
||
|
watched two of his crew, his friends or maybe even his family die. He's
|
||
|
watching another one die. He knows there's no chance of rescue, because the
|
||
|
military is here and his people aren't going to be able to get him.
|
||
|
"God only knows how far away from home he was, and he knew he was never
|
||
|
going to see - if they have loved ones - his loved ones again. He was
|
||
|
totally alone on a hostile planet, and the only people who where showing
|
||
|
him kindness were being run off by the military at weapon-point.
|
||
|
"As a kid, I was aware of what being afraid of the dark was like., and
|
||
|
the feeling I got from him was that feeling multiplied a million times. It
|
||
|
was scary. It was terrifying.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
SOLDIERS ON THE SCENE
|
||
|
|
||
|
Anderson says he lost sight of the creature as the soldiers swarmed over
|
||
|
the site. The civilians were brusquely shoved from the craft. Anderson
|
||
|
remembers shouts and threats. His uncle Ted threw a punch at one of
|
||
|
the GIs. "Things got very tense, very dangerous," Anderson says.
|
||
|
"The soldiers ushered us out of there very unceremoniously. Their
|
||
|
attitude, to describe it at best, was uncivilized."
|
||
|
Anderson has an especially vivid memory of a tough-talking red
|
||
|
haired Army captain and an equally gruff black sergeant. "They told
|
||
|
my dad and my uncle, who also worked at Sandia, that if they were ever
|
||
|
to divulge anything about this - it was a secret military aircraft,
|
||
|
they said - then us kids would be taken away and they'd never see us
|
||
|
again." It seems an outrageous threat in hindsight, Anderson
|
||
|
concedes. But at the time, he reminds, "These people had machine guns
|
||
|
and you listened to what they said."
|
||
|
Another recollection strikes Anderson as odd today: The soldiers
|
||
|
didn't appear surprised about the otherworldly craft and creatures.
|
||
|
they didn't gawk, slack-jawed and awestruck as the Anderson had done.
|
||
|
"The soldiers weren't saying, 'Gee, look at that!" They were very
|
||
|
cognizant of what they were looking at. They knew what it was.
|
||
|
And it soon became apparent, Anderson says, that the Army knew what
|
||
|
it wanted to do with the find. "there was a battalion of military, a
|
||
|
real invasion force, when we got back up on the hilltop. Thee were
|
||
|
trucks, there were airplanes - they had the road blocked off and they
|
||
|
were landing on it. They had radio communications gear set up. There
|
||
|
were ambulances, and more soldiers with weapons."
|
||
|
In the days that followed, all of New Mexico was a buzz with talk of
|
||
|
strange lights in the sky, strange echoes on radar, strange doings in
|
||
|
the desert. On July 7, new reports told of remnants of an
|
||
|
unidentified aircraft found by a rancher near the town of Roswell,
|
||
|
N.M. about 150 miles east of the hillside where the Anderson's stumbled
|
||
|
upon the saucer.
|
||
|
Although several witnesses said it was like nothing they'd ever
|
||
|
seen before, military officers insisted the metallic pieces came from
|
||
|
an ordinary weather balloon.....
