PART 11

|
|
5.5 F.B.
|
|
[F.B. was an Army Air Forces photographer stationed at
|
|
Anacostia Naval Air Station in Washington DC when he and
|
|
fellow photographer A.K. were flown aboard a B-25 bomber to
|
|
Roswell Army Air Field sometime during the second week of
|
|
July 1947. F.B. was interviewed by Stanton Friedman.]
|
|
One morning they came in and they said, "Pack up your bags
|
|
and we'll have the cameras there, ready for you." We didn't
|
|
know where we was going.
|
|
[After a few hours' flight, they arrived at Roswell.] We
|
|
got in a staff car with some of the gear they had brought
|
|
along with us in trucks, and we headed out, about an hour
|
|
and a half, we was heading north.
|
|
We got out there [one of the crash sites in the Corona area]
|
|
and there was a helluva lot of people out there, in a closed
|
|
tent. You couldn't hardly see anything inside the tent.
|
|
They said, "Set your camera up to take a picture fifteen
|
|
feet away." A.K. got in a truck and headed out to where
|
|
they was picking up pieces. All kinds of brass running
|
|
around. And they was telling us what to do. Shoot this,
|
|
shoot that. There was an officer in charge. He met us out
|
|
there and he'd go into the tent and he'd come back and tell
|
|
us, "OK." He'd stand there right besides us and [say], "OK,
|
|
take this picture."
|
|
There was four bodies I could see when the flash went off,
|
|
but you was almost blind because it was a beautiful day,
|
|
sunny. You'd go in this tent, which was awful dark. That's
|
|
all I was taking, bodies. These bodies was under a canvas,
|
|
and they'd open it up and you'd take a picture, flip out
|
|
your flashbulb, put another one in [take another picture]
|
|
and give him the film holder (each holder held two sheets of
|
|
four-by-five inch cut film) and then you went to the next
|
|
spot.
|
|
I guess there was ten to twelve officers, and when I got
|
|
ready to go in, they'd all come out. The tent was about
|
|
twenty by thirty foot. The bodies looked like they was
|
|
lying on a tarp. One guy did all the instructions. He'd
|
|
take a flashlight and he'd come down there. "See this
|
|
flashlight?" Yes sir. "You're in focus with it?" Yes sir.
|
|
"Take a picture of this." He'd take the flashlight away.
|
|
We just moved around in a circle, taking pictures. Seemed
|
|
to me [the bodies] were all just about identical. Dark
|
|
complected. I remember they was thin, and it looked like
|
|
they had too big of a head. I took thirty shots. I think I
|
|
had about fifteen [film] holders. It smelled funny in
|
|
there.
|
|
A.K. came back in a truck that was loaded down with debris.
|
|
A lot of pieces sticking out that wasn't there when they
|
|
took off. We got debriefed on the way back to the airport
|
|
[Roswell Army Air Field]. About four the next morning, they
|
|
woke us, they took us to the mess hall, we ate, we got back
|
|
on the B-25 and headed back. When we got back to Anacostia
|
|
we got debriefed some more, by a lieutenant commander. [It
|
|
was made clear to both F.B and A.K. that whatever they
|
|
thought they saw in New Mexico, they hadn't seen.]
