5.14 Pappy Henderson's Relatives
|
|
[Stanton Friedman spoke with Pappy Henderson's son and
|
|
cousin, both of whom told of having heard Pappy quietly tell
|
|
his story after the newspaper article appeared.]
|
|
5.15 Pappy Henderson's Friend #1
|
|
[John Kromschroeder is a dentist and a retired military
|
|
officer. In 1977, Henderson told Kromschroeder that in 1947
|
|
he had transported wreckage and alien bodies. About a year
|
|
later, Henderson showed Kromschroeder a piece of metal he
|
|
had taken from the collection of wreckage. Kromschroeder
|
|
and Henderson shared an interest in metallurgy.
|
|
Kromschroeder was interviewed in 1990.]
|
|
I gave it a good, thorough looking-at and decided it was an
|
|
alloy we are not familiar with. Gray, lustrous metal
|
|
resembling aluminum, lighter in weight and much stiffer.
|
|
[We couldn't] bend it. Edges sharp and jagged.
|
|
5.16 Pappy Henderson's Friend #2
|
|
[In 1982, Pappy Henderson met with several members of his
|
|
old bomber crew during a reunion. One of these men was
|
|
later interviewed.]
|
|
It was in his hotel room that he told us the story of the
|
|
UFO and about his part. All we were told by Pappy is that
|
|
he flew the plane to Wright Field. He definitely mentioned
|
|
the bodies, but I don't recall any details except that they
|
|
were small and different. I was skeptical at first, but
|
|
soon saw that Pappy was quite serious.

6 PROSAIC EXPLANATIONS
|
|
6.1 Weather Balloon
|
|
* If what crashed was a weather balloon, there would have
|
|
been no need for secrecy. According to the testimony,
|
|
military officers admonished subordinates and civilians not
|
|
to talk about what they saw.
|
|
* If what crashed was a weather balloon, Major Marcel would
|
|
have recognized the material Mac Brazel showed him as
|
|
weather balloon material, and would not have journeyed far
|
|
out on a remote sheep ranch with an officer from the Counter
|
|
Intelligence Corps to examine the crash site.
|
|
* The wreckage described by Marcel and others was too
|
|
voluminous, and spread out over too large an area, to have
|
|
been the wreckage of a crashed weather balloon.
|
|
* There is no reason the Army would transport the wreckage
|
|
of a weather balloon from the remote desert outside Corona
|
|
first to Roswell AAF, then on to Fort Worth AAF.
|
|
* Most of the witnesses who saw or handled the wreckage
|
|
would have recognized the remains of a crashed weather
|
|
balloon.
