Unidentified flying objects -- Sightings and encounters -- New Mexico -- Roswell
When the debris was gathered up the tinfoil, paper, tape, and
sticks made a bundle about three feet long and 7 or 8 inches thick,
while the rubber made a bundle about 18 or 20 inches long and about
8 inches thick. In all, he estimated, the entire lot would have
weighed maybe five pounds.
There was no sign of any metal in the area which might have been
used for an engine and no sign of any propellers of any kind,
although at least one paper fin had been glued onto some of the
tinfoil.
There were no words to be found anywhere on the instrument,
although there were letters on some of the parts. Considerable
scotch tape and some tape with flowers printed upon it had been
used in the construction.
No strings or wire were to be found but there were some eyelets in
the paper to indicate that some sort of attachment may have been
used.
Brazel said that he had previously found two weather observation
balloons on the ranch, but that what he found this time did not in
any way resemble either of these.
“I am sure what I found was not any weather observation balloon.”
he said. “But if I find anything else, besides a bomb they are
going to have a hard time getting me to say anything about it.”]
In response to the newspaper announcement, two scientists central to
the actual explanation of the “Roswell” events, Professor Charles
B. Moore, a former U.S. Army Air Forces contract engineer, and
Bernard D. Gildenberg, retired Holloman AFB Balloon Branch Physical
Science Administrator and Meteorologist, came forward with pertinent
information.[9] According to Moore and Gildenberg, when they met with
the authors their explanations that some of the Air Force projects they
participated in were most likely responsible for the incident, they
were summarily dismissed. The authors even went so far as to suggest
that these distinguished scientists were participants in a multifaceted
government cover-up to conceal the truth about the Roswell Incident.

_Socorro_ (N.M.) _Defensor Chieftain_ soliciting witnesses of flying
saucer crashes in New Mexico. When former Air Force scientists
responded to advise the authors that Air Force projects were most
probably responsible for the UFO accounts, they were summarily
dismissed by the authors who placed the announcement, and then were
accused of participating in a cover-up.
_Authors seek UFO witnesses_
Co-authors of a major book on the 1947 crash of at least one
alien spacecraft in the New Mexico desert will be at the Golden
Manor Motel in Socorro on Monday, Nov. 16 to seek out additional
witnesses to these events.
Nuclear physicist Stanton T. Friedman and aviation/science writer
Don Berliner, whose “Crash at Corona” is now in its second
printing, want to meet with people having knowledge of the 1947
crashes.
