The
newspaper announcement that shocked the world.
|
Almost
immediately after the announcement had hit the World the F.B.I.
insisted that all radio stations stop transmitting the news. Walt
Whitmore , the owner of Radio KGFL, received phone calls from Clinton
Anderson ( Congressman for New Mexico), Senator Dennis Chavez - both
threatening to withdraw his broadcasting license if he transmitted an
interview he had recorded with Mac Brazel.

KGFL - The owner was told " Do not broadcast or lose your license!

Meanwhile
a team of experts had arrived from Washington and the wreck was loaded
onto a plane to be taken to Wright Field . The pilot - Capt. Oliver
Henderson maintained that he saw 3 E.T. bodies still in the hangar ,
stored in ice.
At
lunchtime Glenn Dennis met the nurse from the base. She told him she
had assisted in the autopsies which were carried out by two doctors
from Washington on three little beings - they had big heads, sunken
eyes and four fingers. Due to the stench from the bodies the autopsies
were carried out in a hanger.

Hanger
84 - autopsies took place in the hanger - the smell was so bad.

Mac
Brazel told the chief editor of The Dispatch - "It was a mistake
to inform the authorities". The army made it quite clear to
Sheriff Wilcox that he was forbidden to talk about the matter. Major
Marcel flew some of the wreckage to Gen. Ramey at Fort Worth and is
amazed to see it swapped with the remnants of a crashed weather balloon. Under
great humiliation Major Marcel told reporters - " It was a big error, the
disc is a weather balloon".

Marcel and the substituted weather balloon.

At
6-17p.m. an inter-departmental telex from the F.B.I. stated that
the weather balloon story was false
|
That
evening Brazel and Frank Joyce were compelled to broadcast an
interview telling a very different story from the original report.Brazel
was then taken into custody and interrogated.
|
Brazel
was kept at the guest house on the base and not allowed to go
home - "It was like being in prison" he remarked.
At
8-00a.m. Wednesday 9th July Col. Blanchard supervised the final
clearing of the crash site and at 4-00p.m. the alien bodies were
flown to Fort Worth. Gen. Schulgen, chief of Air Force
Requirements Division asks the F.B.I. to assist in the matter of
flying discs - he assured F.B.I Director J.Edgar Hoover - " the
discs do not originate from Earth". At approximately 6-00p.m. the
bodies arrived at Fort Worth - a crewman remarked - " we have
just made history".
On Friday
11th July the debriefing of the salvage crew took place - they were
told - " That was a matter of National Security and stands under
absolute secrecy- " Talk to no one about it . Forget you even saw
it".
On
Tuesday 15th July Mac Brazel was again intimidated by the Army but
although he had lived in poverty it was noticeable that he now had a
brand new truck, money to buy a new house at Tularosa and a cold store
at Las Cruces.
|
Many
of the soldiers and MPs involved in the retrievals were soon
transferred to other bases. The nurse from the base was transferred
overseas (U.K.) but when Glenn Dennis tried to contact her by letter
it was returned by the Army - on the envelope was written
"Deceased".
|
In
the 1980s Maj. Jesse Marcel still maintained that a disc had crashed at
Roswell and to this day his son , a doctor of medicine, remembers his
father showing him the fragments - he will never forget his fathers
words
