Dear Rep. (or Sen.) _________________:
|
|
|
|
As your constituent, I am writing to request a clarification
|
|
of the U.S. Government's current position concerning events which
|
|
occurred in and around Roswell, New Mexico, in July 1947.
|
|
|
|
According to newspaper accounts and eyewitness reports, a
|
|
local rancher, William W. Brazel, discovered pieces of debris
|
|
from an object which crashed on the property he managed outside
|
|
Corona, on or about July 2, 1947. He brought some of this
|
|
material to the attention of Chaves County Sheriff George Wilcox,
|
|
who called the Roswell Army Air Field. The base Intelligence
|
|
Officer, Sheridan Cavitt, went to the ranch to inspect the
|
|
material.
|
|
|
|
They discovered a great deal of lightweight debris which
|
|
couldn't be cut, burned, or even dented with a sledgehammer. On
|
|
orders from the base commander, Col. William Blanchard, the
|
|
Public Information Officer, Walter G. Haut, issued a news release
|
|
that the Army Air Force had recovered a "flying disc." Some of
|
|
the debris was flown to Fort Worth, Texas where the Commander of
|
|
the Eighth Air Force, Gen. Roger Ramey, identified the material
|
|
for the press as the remains of a weather balloon and its radar
|
|
target.
|
|
|
|
However, subsequent investigation has raised considerable
|
|
doubt about the weather balloon explanation. For example:
|
|
|
|
- According to his son and neighbors, Brazel was held
|
|
incommunicado by officials at the Roswell base for nearly a week,
|
|
questioned extensively and ordered not to say anything about his
|
|
experience; however, in a newspaper interview, he said that the
|
|
material he recovered "did not in any way resemble a weather
|
|
balloon," many of which he had recovered on his property.
|
|
|
|
- Sheriff Wilcox, to whom Brazel initially reported finding
|
|
the debris, also was ordered by the military not to say anything,
|
|
but members of his family say that not only did he see debris at
|
|
the crash site -- he also saw four "space beings," one of whom
|
|
was alive. Moreover, his granddaughter, Barbara Dugger, was told
|
|
by her grandmother, Inez Wilcox, that the entire family was
|
|
threatened with death by the military if they discussed the
|
|
incident.
|
|
|
|
- The former manager of KGFL Radio in Roswell, Jud Roberts,
|
|
says the station was threatened with loss of its license by
|
|
government officials in Washington, DC, if it broadcast the story
|
|
about the "flying saucer." In addition, according to Lydia
|
|
Sleppy, a secretary of KOAT Radio in Albuquerque, a wire
|
|
transmission of the news story on the event was interrupted by a
|
|
message something like: "CEASE TRANSMISSION. NATIONAL SECURITY
|
|
ITEM."
|
|
|
|
- According to Brig. Gen. Thomas J. DuBose (USAF, ret.),
|
|
who was Gen. Ramey's Chief of Staff, Maj. Gen. Clements McMullen,
|
|
the Deputy and Acting Commander, Strategic Air Command, at
|
|
Andrews Army Air Field, ordered that some of the debris recovered
|
|
on the ranch be brought directly to him in Washington. Gen.
|
|
DuBose says officials at the Headquarters of the Eighth Air Force
|
|
were directed to tell the press that the material was from a
|
|
weather balloon radar target, and that the weather balloon
|
|
explanation was a "cover story" to divert the attention of the
|
|
press.
|
|
|
|
- The pilot who transported some of the wreckage, Oliver W.
|
|
Henderson, said he saw the bodies of alien beings at the Roswell
|
|
base, according to his widow, Sappho Henderson, his daughter,
|
|
Mary Kathryn Groode, and his friend, John Kromschroeder.
|
|
|
|
- A mortician who worked for the funeral home in Roswell,
|
|
Glenn Dennis, says an Army nurse friend told him about
|
|
participating in the autopsies of three alien bodies at the base.
|
|
|
|
Therefore, I am formally requesting that you seek to
|
|
determine whether the highly unusual material recovered near
|
|
Corona was from a "flying disc," a weather balloon, or something
|
|
else.
|
|
|
|
Please advise me, at your earliest opportunity, of the
|
|
United States Government's current position on the nature of the
|
|
material recovered outside Roswell, New Mexico, in July 1947, and
|
|
its current explanation for all official actions taken with
|
|
respect to this event.
|
|
|
|
Sincerely,
|
|
|
|
|
