Roswell UFO Crash - 1947
Newspaper Reports ~ Roswell Audio
Roswell, New Mexico 1947 when you state that location and that date what you immediately get is Aliens, Government cover-up, Crashed flying saucers and many other UFO related words and phrases. The Roswell UFO Crash is probably one of the biggest maybe even the biggest and most historic UFO event in the history of the UFO Phenomena. The amount of media attention and government activity this event captured is very hard to match with any other UFO event Roswell must also be one of the most talked about events in UFO history and many people if not all people of the world UFO believer or not know about the events of Roswell in 1947.
The incident did not start with the crash but it started on June 25th in Silver City, New Mexico when Dr. R.F. Sensenbaugher, a dentist, reported seeing a flying saucer fly over that was about half the size of a full moon. Two days after this event in Pope, New Mexico, W.C Dobbs reported a white glowing object flying overhead, not to far from White Sands missile range. On the very same day as this event, Captain E. B Detchmendy reported to his commanding officer that he witnessed a white, glowing UFO pass over the missile range. Two days later, on June 29th, Rocket expert C. J Zohn and three of his technicians who were stationed at White Sands, watched a giant silver disk moving northward over the desert. On July 2nd a UFO was tracked at three separate installations, Alamogordo, White Sands, and Roswell. In Roswell on the same day Mr and Mrs Dan Wilmot saw a UFO. They reported it as “two inverted saucers faced mouth to mouth” moving at a high rate of speed right over there house.
The huge main event that would forever be in the UFO history books would be the crash. The events that would make Roswell famous began on July 2nd or July 4th (there is a lot of disagreement to what day it was). William W. Mac Brazel a sheep rancher. Brazel was a common working man and was the foreman of the Foester Ranch on Lincoln County, near Corona, New Mexico. Brazel was a family man but his wife along with his kids lived in Tularosa, near Almogordo so his children could attend better schools than those on Corona. He was a simple man who was content with his job and his family.

An evening thunder storm was raging and numerous bolts of lightning lit up the sky. The storms were not uncommon for these parts but Mac noticed something very different a sound of an explosion took over the normal sounds of the storms. Two of Mac’s children were staying with his that night at the farm house. Mac sent his two kids off to bed and for a moment forgot totally about the strange noise he had heard before. The next day started with a bright sunshine and Mac went out to ride the fences, and check on his sheep. He was accompanied that day with a seven-year-old boy William D. Proctor, who regularly went out riding with Mac.

As they rode into the filed ahead of them they noticed an area about a quarter of a mile long and several hundred feet wide, covered with some sort of debris the debris was composed of many small pieces of a shiny, metallic material, a metrical that Mac had never in his entire life seen before until now. The sheep that Mac was going to attend to were not taken over the debris of the strange nature but they had to be taken the long around the debris because of how strange the metallic material was Mac picked up some of it back to store in a shed. Mac did not know at this point how major his find was and had no idea that it would become something the government would be highly involved in. One of Mac’s children recalled: "There were what appeared to be pieces of heavily waxed paper and a sort of aluminium-like foil. Some of these pieces had something like numbers and lettering on them, but there were no words you were able to make out. Some of the metal-foil pieces had a sort of tape stuck to them, and when these were held to the light they showed what looked like pastel flowers or designs. Even though the stuff looked like tape it could not be peeled off or removed at all." "[The writing] looked like numbers mostly; at least I assumed them to be numbers. They were written out like you would write numbers in columns to do an addition problem. But they didn't look like the numbers we use at all. What gave me the idea they were numbers, I guess, was the way they were all ranged out in columns." "No, it was definitely not a balloon. We had seen weather balloons quite a lot, both on the ground and in the air. We had even found a couple of Japanese-style balloons that had come down in the area once. We had also picked up a couple of those thin rubber weather balloons with instrument packages. This was nothing like that. I have never seen anything resembling this sort of thing before, - or since..."
Later on in the afternoon Mac took young Dee Proctor back home, a journey of around 10 miles he also took the piece of debris he found to show Dee’s parents, Floyd and Loretta. Mac tried to get the Proctors to go back with him and look at the strange material strewn in the fields.
Floyd Proctor would later state: "[He said] it wasn't paper because he couldn't cut it with his knife, and the metal was different from anything he had ever seen. He said the designs looked like the kind of stuff you would find on firecracker wrappers...some sort of figures all done up in pastels, but not writing like we would do it."
Loretta Proctor remembered: "The piece he brought looked like a kind of tan, light-brown plastic...it was very lightweight, like balsa wood. It wasn't a large piece, maybe about four inches long, maybe just larger than a pencil."
"We cut on it with a knife and would hold a match on it, and it wouldn't burn. We knew it wasn't wood. It was smooth like plastic; it didn't have real sharp corners, kind of like a dowel stick. Kind of dark tan. It didn't have any grain...just smooth."
"We should have gone [to look at the debris field], but gas and tires were expensive then. We had our own chores, and it would have been twenty miles."
The next night Mac’s uncle, Hollis Wilson would give the first hint the debris could not be terrestrial. Mac told Hollis about the strange debris and Hollis urged Mac to report the odd debris since there had been many reports of flying saucers in the area as of late. On July 6th Mac was going to Roswell to strike a deal for a new pickup truck. He also took some of the debris and stopped off at the Chaves Countu Sheriff’s office and spoke to George Wilcox. The story of the find was not significant to Wilcox until he actually handled some of the metallic material. Wilcox telephoned the Roswell Army Air Field and spoke to Major Jesse A. Mercel who was the base intelligence officer. Marcel told the Sheriff he would to Roswell and talk to Brazel about his find. Word of the goings on had begun to spread in the New Mexico community, and soon Mac was on the radio station KGFL talking about the incident. Mac told the station what he knew over the phone.

Marcel and Brazel met at the Sheriff’s office. Mac told Marcel what he knew and showed him a piece of debris. Marcel reported the results of his interview to Colonel William H. Blanchard back at Roswell Army Base. A decision was made for Brazel to go out to the site and investigate for himself. Marcel would take his old Buick, and Army Counter Intelligence Corps officer Sheridan Cavitt accompanied him in a Jeep all-terrain vehicle. Following Marcel back to the ranch, it was too late that day to the site, so they all three stayed in Mac’s ranch house. After a dinner the three headed to the site the very next morning. After a brief look around the site Mac left Marcel and Cavitt, returning to his daily chores.
Radio station KGFL reported Frank Joyce informed his boss, Walk Whitmore about the recent developments, and Whitmore drove out and picked up Brazel and took him to his home in Roswell there an interview took place, all taped into a recorder, but the interview would never be made public as threats from the military would prevent the transmission of the tape. The next day, Whitmore took Brazel to the radio station, and called the Roswell Army Base. What Whitmore told the base is not known exactly, but the military came and picked Mac up, and took him to the base where he was guest of sorts for about a week. On July 8th, the military returned Mac to the Roswell Daily Record, where a press conference was conducted. Strangely enough Mac’s story was different about his stay over at Roswell Army Base. Mac now stated that he and his son discovered the strange debris on June 14th nearly a month before he originally said. But he was to busy that he didn’t pay it any attention he stated that some weeks later on July 4th he, his wife and his two kids drove out to the debris filed, and collected some samples. Among the collection were grey rubber strips, tinfoil, a type of heavy paper and small wooden sticks. Mac further asserted that he found balloons on several occasions but that this debris was totally different from the other finds. "I am sure what I found was not any weather observation balloon," he said. "But if I find anything else beside a bomb they are going to have a hard time getting me to say anything about it," he said.

Mac’s military escort then led him out to a car after the conference was over and drove him to the KGFL. Eye witness accounts stated that as Mac left the newspaper office, he kept his head pointed to the ground and did not speak to any of his friends who were there at the time. Brazel went into the radio station with his military escort and began telling Frank Joyce the same story he has stated at the press conference. Joyce was shocked by all the sudden changes in details, and interrupted Brazel at one point asking him why he had changed his story Brazel became quite upset by the statement of Frank Joyce.
After this interview Mac was taken back to the Army Base. After he was finally released from the Roswell base, suddenly Mac did not want to discuss the debris any further with anyone. Those who knew him say that in private, he complained about his harsh treatment by the military. He was not allowed to even call his wife during his visit and stay at the army base. Mac had moved off the ranch he loved so much and into the town of Tularosa, where he opened his own small business. He passed away in 1963.
Major Jesse A. Marcel was the intelligence officer at Roswell Army Air Force Base which was the home of the only bomb group in existence at the time. It should be noted that all of the personnel at the base had high security clearance. Marcel was veteran officer, who was trusted completely. He had been a highly skilled cartographer before WW2 and was sent to Intelligence training by the army, because of his impeccable character. He was even an instructor at the time at the training school. He also logged over 450 hours of combat duty as a pilot during the War, and was highly decorated with five air medals for shooting down enemy aircraft, After the end of the War he was chosen as a member of the 509th Bomb Wing, handling security for the “Operation Crossroads” which conducted nuclear testing in 1946. After being awarded a commendation for his work on the nuclear project he was named the intelligence officer for Roswell Army Air Force Base. Marcel was on his Lunch Break when he received a phone call from Sheriff Wilcox. Wilcox informed him that Brazel had found from a crash of some sort of object on a sheep ranch. Marcel went to the town and talked to Brazel, and reported the findings to Colonel Blanchard, Marcel was given an order to do down to the site, which he did, accompany by the CIC officer Sheridan Cavitt. Arriving too late for the search the two soldiers spend the night with Brazel and proceeded to the sight the next morning.
Marcel explained in his own words - "...it scattered over an area of about three quarters of a mile long, I would say, and fairly wide, several hundred feet wide. "It was definitely not a weather or tracking device, nor was it any sort of plane or missile."
"I don't know what it was, but it certainly wasn't anything built by us and it most certainly wasn't any weather balloon."
"...small beams about three eighths or a half inch square with some sort of hieroglyphics on them that nobody could decipher. These looked something like balsa wood, and were about the same weight, except that they were not wood at all. They were very hard, although flexible, and would not burn at all. There was a great deal of an unusual parchment-like substance which was brown in colour and extremely strong, and great number of small pieces of a metal like tinfoil, except that it wasn't tinfoil. I was interested in electronics and kept looking for something that resembled instruments or electronic equipment, but I didn't find anything.
"...Cavitt, I think, found a black, metallic-looking box several inches square. As there was no apparent way to open this, and since it didn't appear to be an instrument package of any sort, we threw it in with the rest of the stuff." "It had little numbers with symbols that we had to call hieroglyphics because I could not understand them. They were pink and purple. They looked like they were painted on. I even took my cigarette lighter and tried to burn the material we found that resembled parchment and balsa, but it would not burn , wouldn't even smoke," "...the pieces of metal that we brought back were so thin, just like the tinfoil in a pack of cigarettes," "...you could not tear or cut it either. We even tried making a dent in it with a sixteen-pound sledgehammer, and there was still no dent in it." Having rode to the site in two vehicles, Marcel sent Cavitt back to the base with his Jeep full of the material, and Marcel took his Buick, and stopped by his house to show his wife and son his amazing find.
Marcel’s son explained - "The material was foil-like stuff, very thin, metallic-like but not metal, and very tough. There was also some structural-like material too,- beams and so on. Also a quantity of black plastic material which looked organic in nature." "Imprinted along the edge of some of the beam remnants were hieroglyphic-type characters."

When Marcel got back to the base he was told by Colonel Blanchard to load the debris on a B-29, and fly with it to Wright Filed in Ohio, stopping on the way at Carswell AAFB in FT. Worth Texas. The military was hard at work at Roswell. Colonel Walter Haut was given an order from Colonel Blanchard to write a press release stating that the RAAF had in its possession a “crashed saucer” according to Haut, the saucer was transported to the 8th Air Force, to be turned over to General Ramey. Haut discharged his duty, and finished the press release he’d been ordered to write, giving a copy of the release to two radio stations and both of the newspapers. The headline that hit the newspapers was –
“RAAF CAPTURES FLYING SAUCER IN RANCH IN ROSWELL REGION”
When Marcel arrived at Carswell, Brigadier General Roger Ramey, Commander of the 8th Air Force took full control of the case. The debris from Brazel’s filed was taken into Ramey’s office, and photographed. The photographer was James Bond Johnson. Marcel was in the photo was the real debris Ramey took Marcel into another officer and upon their return to Ramey’s office some sort of new and different material was spread onto the floor. Marcel under the orders, stated that this debris was from a weather balloon. After more photos were taken, Ramey sent Marcel back to Roswell, Along with him a stern warning not to disclose anything he had seen at Carswell. I was then reported that General Ramey recognized the remains as part of a weather balloon Bringadier General Thomas DuBose, the chief of staff of the Eighth Air Force, after many years of silence would state - "[It] was a cover story. The whole balloon part of it. That was the part of the story we were told to give to the public and news and that was it." There can be NO doubt that the orders to cover-up the saucer story came from our Chief Executive.
Below is the FAKE Roswell Wreckage that the military used to cover-up the real story.
Here are some pictures of the REAL wreckage as you can see the hands that Mac's child described is the image to the right.
Marcel was shocked to find that upon his return to his home base he was made a laughing stock because he ignorantly misidentified the balloon material with that of something unknown. Some three months later, however, Marcel was promoted to Lt. Colonel and assigned to a new program. He was in charge of testing atmospheric particles to detect Russian atomic discharges. When he was interviewed in 1978, he maintained that the debris he found on the Foster ranch was definitely not a weather balloon. He insisted that it was something he had never seen.
As if that was not enough we now come to the alien bodies and an actual saucer on the ground. So we move to the site of San Agustin, near Megdalena, New Mexico. This part of the incident is based on testimony from Vern and Jean Maltais the couple states that in February 1950, an engineer friend of theirs, Grady L. “Barney” Barnett told them that while working in fields near Megdelena, July 3rd 1947, he had come upon a crashed disc-shaped object. This flying disc had alien bodies strewn about it. There aliens inside and also outside the disc craft. As important as this seems, there is a flaw in his story. It seems that Barnett’s wife kept a diary of his comings and goings. His wife stated that his diary did not corroborate the date as July 3rd 1947. This may not mean anything, as surely mistakes could have been made, or a data mixed up, or plans changed after the entry was made. This is very possible as stated at first in this article the data of the Roswell Incident is contested and there is no agreed exact date for the incident.
Barnett’s claims were controversial though, until yet another witness would come forward which would shed a new light on the claims. After an airing of a “Roswell Crash” segment on the popular “Unsolved Mysteries” show in 1990, Gerald Anderson came forward with some fascinating details. Anderson states that he and his family were hunting rocks on the Plains of San Agustin in early July 1947, when they also came upon a crashed saucer-shaped craft. The craft had four dead aliens inside. Though Gerald was only six years old at the time, the extraordinary sighting was one he would never ever forget. To take matters a step further, archaeologist, Dr. Buskirk, and five of his students also came upon the crash scene. Anderson’s story also had many holes in it however. It seems that Dr. Buskirk was a former teacher of Anderson. Records show that Doctor was in Arizona at the time of the alleged sighting.
Ray Danzerm, a plumbing contractor, was working on the Roswell Base. He was standing outside of the emergency room, when he saw alien bodies being brought into the base hospital on stretchers. Dumbfounded by the event, he was shaken back to reality by a military police who warned him to leave and forget he ever saw the alien bodies.
Steve MacKenzie also saw alien bodies he saw four around the crashed UFO.
Major Edwin Easley was commander of the military base he cordoned off the crash site he related to his family that he made a promise to the president that he would never speak of the bodies he saw that day.
So many people back up each other by saying they saw bodies is it all lies I think this is very much impossible.
And yet another story of a Roswell alien came from Herbert Ellis, a painting contractor at Roswell AAFB he reported that he saw a live alien walking into the Roswell army hospital.
The Alien reports continue with yet again more testimony from credible witnesses –
Mary Bush who was a secretary at the base hospital told mortician Glenn Dennis that she saw a creature from another world. She was called to assist two doctors in a hospital room were three alien bodies were being examined. Though suffocated from the odour from the bodies she clearly recalled that the aliens had four fingers and no thumbs.
Joseph Montoya, Lt. Governor of New Mexico, told Pete Anaya that he had seen four little men one of which was still alive. He states that they had oversized heads, with big eyes. Their mouth was small like a cut across a piece of wood. And he is quoted as saying “I tell you they are not from this world”
Sergeant Thomas Gonzales, with the 509th, was a guard at the crash site, and saw bodies he called "little men."
A member of the Army COINTEL, Frank Kaufman, saw a "strange looking craft embedded in a cliff." He also states that he saw debris being put into crates which were stored under heavy military guard at Roswell AAFB.
Below is a Picture of Frank Kaufman
As shown by these reports we can clearly say that four bodies were found at the crash sight that day. And from witness testimony we can clearly get a full picture for what the beings found at Roswell looked like. Are all the witnesses lying? In my view this is nearly impossible I doubt that every witness is lying there have been numerous researchers that have tried to find fault some have but only with date that still today in controversial and no agreement made on the exact date of the crash so other than dates and etc. not many faults have actually been found in reports.
The above are not the only ones who recall seeing aliens a man named Mr. X who was a former employee of the government who cannot be properly named because he entered a contract with the government promising to keep quite. He was shown a document concerning Roswell and it was confirmed that aliens were found and were examined this even more backs up all the reports from Roswell.
The truth of Roswell has not been confirmed by the government and it is doubtful that they will admit that an alien saucer crashed that day. But with all the witness statements and testimony we can nearly use the word FACT to describe the events of Roswell were in fact of ET origin.
Roswell was probably one of the greatest cases in UFO history and was definitely real and there were definitely aliens.
