ParaNet (Denver, CO)--October 11, 1989--July 2, 1947 could be a day that will go down in infamy in the history of UFOlogy. The
place--Roswell, New Mexico. The event--A crash of an intelligent, biological entity controlled, highly sophisticated machine from literally
out of this world. So says the team of Don Schmitt, Regional Director
of the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) of Chicago,
Illinois, and Kevin Randle, a former Captain in Air Force intelligence
who began researching this highly controversial report from July, 1947.
According to the reports, a UFO crashed during a violent
thunderstorm in a very remote area of the Brazel ranch northeast of
Corona, New Mexico around July 2, 1947. As has been previously reported, the crash site was quickly cleaned up by personnel from
Roswell Army Air Force Base in Roswell, New Mexico. Jesse Marcel
was quoted as stating that the material that he found in the desert was
not of this world and was ordered to fly the remains to Carswell AFB in
Texas where a press conference was held to tell the nation that the material found was that of a crashed weather balloon. Further, unconfirmed reports, claimed that alien bodies were also recovered and
all remains were taken to the infamous 'Hangar 18' at Wright-
Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio where a tight security lid was clamped
down on the study of the find. To date, virtually none of this material
has ever been substantiated. According to Don Schmitt, a coverup of
major proportions has ensued for over 42 years as to the true nature of
the Roswell crash.
When Schmitt attempted to reconstruct a time line of the incident,
he found too many pieces missing and began an investigation in September, 1987 to determine what those missing pieces really were. He enlisted the aid of former Air Force Intelligence Captain Kevin
Randle, whom Schmitt stated, was totally a skeptic. He was friends of Phil Klass, and Schmitt wanted such a skeptic involved in the
investigation. According to Schmitt, Randle 'has total conviction' in
UFOs now.
During the investigation, a definitive time line was
established from July 2, 1947 to July 10, 1947, and it was found that
there were numerous witnesses to the incident that had never been found
nor had been interviewed. From this point onward, Schmitt and Randle
made four trips to New Mexico and other parts of the country
interviewing the witnesses to this incident. Locating the exact
location of the crash, with the help of Bill Brazel, the son of the
rancher that originally made the awesome discovery, Schmitt and Randle
and some scientists conducted a survey and excavation of the crash site.
Jerome Clark, editor for the CUFOS bi-monthly publication IUR, stated
that the crash site was in an extremely remote area. The findings
of the excavation of that area will be detailed in an upcoming publication of IUR.
William Moore and Charles Berlitz drew national public attention
to this incident with the publication of 'The Roswell Incident' in 1980. During the investigation, Schmitt found that the material in the book
was "highly inaccurate, and had much paraphrasing and many misquotes with very misleading information which really surprised us." The CUFOS investigation has turned up some very interesting facts and is
"specifically attacking the military involvement with Roswell," Schmitt
stated.
"There is clear evidence of a coverup. More evidence, in fact, of
a coverup than ever before. In fact we can pinpoint where it
originated, the time line, the manner and degree with which it took
place," Schmitt said. "And, where the specific orders were coming
from. Originally, Moore talked about one flight in the book with Jesse Marcel. We have found two other flights with other people and have
tracked down those crewmen. So far, I have tracked down a dozen former military people who were involved who have never been interviewed."
When asked about why this material was never brought to light with Ruppelt or Keyhoe in their previous writings, Schmitt states, "The coverup
was so effective at that time. If you think back to July, 1947, the intelligence network was at its peak just coming off the war. Everything
was still in place and in high gear. They so quickly removed it from the intelligence office in Roswell. The Pentagon became involved immediately.
All orders were going through counterintelligence and we have pinned
down those people involved. They still deny involvement, but we have
other people that testify to their involvement. So, the coverup is still ongoing. That surprised us too. That 42 years after the fact, we still
have these people that confidentially tell us 'that we still cannot talk
about it.'"
When asked how the MJ-12 material is affected by this, Schmitt states, "It is the reason behind our initial investigation.
That if the purpose behind the MJ-12 document was disinformation, it was
to strike a death blow to Roswell we had to make a distinction and make it
in a hurry." However, although some details about Roswell that have surfaced from this investigation that confirm such a group, there is no
firm link to them. Stan Friedman has been encouraged by Don Schmitt
to continue seeking the truth about MJ-12. It is noted here that Stan Friedman is conducting a cooperative investigation in light of these new
facts about Roswell. There is corroboration between Friedman and CUFOS. According to Schmitt, the focus of their investigation is Roswell and the details behind the crash.
It appears that some very interesting things are surfacing on this. According to Jerome Clark, "The Roswell Incident is the most important
known UFO event in history. By the time that this investigation is over
it will shape our future understanding of the UFO phenomenon. This investigation gets to the very core of all issues."
In closing, Clark stated that such questions as "Are UFOs real? Are they physical and intelligently controlled? Are they piloted by
Biological Entities that originate outside of this world?" The answers
could be a resounding, YES!!
