| ROSWELL 1947 |
| July 1947 something crashed near Roswell New Mexico and what it was is still being debated today over fifty three years later. It was the first week in July 1947, W.W "Mac" Brazel a New Mexico ranger rode out with the son of Floyd and Loretta Proctor to check on the sheep after a thunder storm the night before. As they were riding they started to notice unusual pieces of what seemed to be pieces of metal scattered over alarge area. Brazel noticed a shallow trench, several hundred feet long, gouged into the land. Brazel was very curios about the unusual debris and dragged a large piece back to a shed. He also took some of the debrie to show the Proctors. Mrs Proctor moved from her ranch in 1997 to a home nearer the town, remembers Mac Brazel showing up with the strange material. The Proctors told Brazel that it might be the wreckage of a UFO or a goverment project and that he should report it to the sheriff. A couple days later he drove into Roswell and reported the incident to Sheriff George Wilcox, who then reported it to the intelligence Officer, Major Jessie Marcel of the 509 Bomb Group. Four days later the site was closed while the wreckage was cleared. On the 8th July 1947, a press release stated that a crashed disc had been recoverd was issued by the Commander of the 509thBomber Group at Roswell, Col. William Blanchard. Only hours later the press release was resinderd and a second press release stated that the 509th Bomb Group had mistakenly identified a weather balloon for a flying saucer. Glen Denis a mortion working at Ballard Funeral home recieved some strange telephone calls from the morgue at the air base. The mortuary officer needed to get hold of some small hermetically sealed coffins, and wanted advise on how to preserve bodies that been exposed to the elements, without contaminating the tissues. Denis drove up to the base later that evenig and saw large pieces of wreckage with strange engravings on one of the pieces sticking out the back of one of the ambalances. He entered the base hospital to visit a nurse he knew, when he was threatened by the Millitary police forcefully removed and told to leave. Denis met up with the nurse the next day, she told him about the bodies and drew him a picture of them on a prescription pad. She was transferred to England a few days later and to this day her wereabouts is still unknown. William Woody another eyewitness, who lived east of Roswell, remembered being outside with his father the night of 4th July 1947, seeing a bright object fall out of the sky and hit the ground. Woody and his father tryed to locate the crash site, they were stopped by military personnel, who had cordoned of the area. Magor Jessie Marcel and Senior Intelligence Corps agent, Captain Sheridan Cavitt followed the ranger Brazel to his range. They spent the night there and Marcel inspected a large piece of debris that Brazel that draged back from the pasture. July 7th 1947 Magor Jessie Marsel took his first trip to the debris field. Marsel remarked later that "something... must have exploded above the ground and fell." Marsel was able to determine which direction it was heading. It was in a pattern, he could tell were it started out and where it ended by the way it thinned out. Marsel descibed the debris scatterd over a wide area about three quarters of a mile long and a few hundred feet wide. There were small bits of metal scattered amongst the debrie. He tried to burn the metal with a cigarette lighter but it did not burn. He also descibed wieghtless I-beam-like structures that were 3/8"x1/4", that would not bend or break. Marsel also described metal debris the thickness of foil that was indestructable. Continued part 2 |
