PART 7

|
4.2 Lydia Sleppy
|
|
|
|
[Lydia Sleppy was a teletype operator at Roswell radio
|
|
station KSWS. The event she describes below took place
|
|
around 4:00 pm on July 7, 1947. She was interviewed in
|
|
October 1990 by Stanton Friedman.]
|
|
|
|
We were Mutual Broadcasting and ABC, and if we had anything
|
|
newsworthy, we would put it on the [teletype] machine, and I
|
|
was the one who did the typing. It was in my office.
|
|
Mr Tucker [Merle Tucker was the station owner] was in
|
|
Washington DC trying to get an application approved for a
|
|
station in El Paso, when this call came from John McBoyle
|
|
[another KSWS staffer]. He told me he had something hot for
|
|
the network. I said, "Give me a minute and I'll get the
|
|
assistant manager," because if it was anything like that, I
|
|
wanted one of them there while I was taking it down.
|
|
|
|
I went back and asked Mr [Karl] Lambertz (he came up from
|
|
the big Dallas station) if he would come up and watch. John
|
|
was dictating and [Karl] was standing right at my shoulder.
|
|
I got into it enough to know that it was a pretty big story,
|
|
when the bell came on [signaling an interruption]. Typing
|
|
came across: "This is the FBI, you will cease transmitting."
|
|
|
|
I had my shorthand pad, and I turned around and told [Karl]
|
|
that I had been cut off, but that I could take it in
|
|
shorthand and then we could call it in to the network. I
|
|
took it in shorthand, as John went on to give the story. He
|
|
had seen them take the thing away. He'd been out there
|
|
[presumably at the Foster ranch] when they took it away.
|
|
And at that time, if I remember correctly, John said they
|
|
were gonna load it up and take it to Texas. But when the
|
|
planes came in, they were from Wright Field.

4.3 Walt Whitmore Jr
|
|
|
|
[Walt Whitmore Jr was the son of the owner of Roswell radio
|
|
station KGFL. Here is his description of wreckage from the
|
|
crash.]
|
|
|
|
[It was] very much like lead foil in appearance but could
|
|
not be torn or cut at all. Extremely light in weight. Some
|
|
small beams that appeared to be either wood or woodlike had
|
|
a sort of writing on it which looked like numbers which had
|
|
either been added or multiplied [in columns].
