I'm 70 and been following this story since I was a kid I was born at Nellis Air Force Base. I hope there is disclosure before I pass time is growing short for me
I am always surprised how badly the Roswell story is told, but this particular documentary remains a very good account. In more recent glossy documentaries, too much can just be summarised and the story becomes disjointed...If the full story needs a 6 hour documentary to tell it properly then make a 6 hour documentary...If it needs a 2 day documentary then make a 2 day documentary...the story needs telling properly.
The colonel who was commanding Roswell Army airfield base at the time and ordered the article to be published telling the public they recovered a flying saucer, you would think it was some nut right, but it wasn't, it was William H. Blanchard, who became a four star general and Vice Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force. He's the guy who made the decision to say it was a flying saucer, and counterintelligence was on the scene the day before, so the army knew exactly what they had and that's what they decided to publish. When it's 1947 and the army tells you they've recovered a flying saucer believe them the first time, before it turns into a weather balloon lol
I never understood why they refer it to “Roswell” as the crash site is no where near the place. I visited Roswell on a driving holiday me and couple of mates did across the states and we planed to go to the crash site, and us being 3no naive boys from East London thought it would be a easy drive, how wrong we were, the site was miles away and I calculated it to be a 3.5hr drive using non tarmac desert roads with nothing for miles. The museum warned us not to attempt it which I am glad we listened to as we would’ve got lost and probably would still be in that desert today. We massively underestimated the size of America’s wilderness at times being from the Uk and the City which gave us zero incline until we got out there.
There are a couple interviews on the national archives channel, at least one of which conducted by Stanton Friedman, that have one detail in common. Keep in mind, one is an older gentleman that worked in a funeral home as a young man, who was on the base when the debris was recovered and the autopsy was being performed; the other is a younger gentleman who was a ten year old on a rock hound expedition with his dad and uncle that stumbled on the actual craft and witnessed the beings themselves, just as the military showed up. They didn't know each other is my point. The one thing they both talked about was a pair of officers, one a red headed white guy that was the commanding officer and an African American guy that was his sergeant. They were both very not nice people. That was the key detail- that the ginger in charge and his black sidekick were very aggressive and disagreeable was specifically noted in both interviews. As far as FOIA requests are concerned- you can submit them all you want. If the actual material or wreckage is being kept by private defense contractors like Lockheed Martin- they aren't bound by FOIA requests, so the government can say "we don't have the materials you are asking about" and not technically be lying.
In 2014 in New Zealand i was sitting at my dinner table by my lounge window over looking the Wellingon harbour. All the sudden i see a UFO disc shaped middle was stationery and the disc spinning a glowing green. It paused for a few seconds by the window at a distance clear as day. Then took if so quickly i couldn't even take a photo or record it. Still till this day I've been keeping an eye out hasn't happened again. Why did it pause i still don't know. I was shocked i wanted tell people but who would believe me without any proof. Right but i know what i saw and will never forget it. Was amazing like nothing I've seen in over 40 years. I got admit too i was bit scared to go outside for a while too. Believe me or not I'm a witness with no proof but my eyeballs.
Jesse Marcel Sr. (1907 - 1986) was a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Air Force who helped administer Operation Crossroads, the 1946 atom bomb tests at the Bikini atoll. Do you really think when he first reported it as a UFO Saucer that he didn't know what a weather balloon was.
The military really didn't want to bring too much attention to Roswell Airfield, especially since it was the only place on Earth that had nuclear weapons, but there was a lot of pressure in the military at that time for somebody to get to the bottom of these flying sauces, and that's why Colonel Blanchard, made the press release, but he didn't know he was supposed to keep it classified, until General Ramey
Stanton Friedman turned over and investigated everything, he didn't miss anything, he's an incredible investigator nuclear physicist that truly got to the bottom of it and fortunately he saw the UFO footage from the Nimitz incident before he died he deserved at least that much
Look at how 2 of ufos most skeptic people turned true believers and fighters for the belief in UFOS.....J. Allen Hynek and Phillips J. Corso, Thank you both and others that helped and are still helping
Whether you believe or not, Stanton Friedman seems extremely intelligent and knowledgeable on this subject. I could listen for hours. I wish I could’ve met him.
