Unidentified flying objects -- Sightings and encounters -- New Mexico -- Roswell
A: Well, they didn’t carry me out, they said, “Come on, we’re taking
you back,” one on each side. They didn’t have their hands on me or
forcing me.
Q: I’ve forgotten which one of the accounts has them lifting you right
off your feet and all that kind of stuff.
A: No. They may have got me by the elbow, but that was that. They were
nice guys. They were doing what they were told to do.
Q: They got you to the ambulance. Did they follow you back to the
funeral home?
A: One followed me in a pickup and the other one sat in the seat with
me.
Q: Oh, I see, he actually rode with you in the ambulance.
A: He rode with me, and the other one drove a pickup and picked him up.
They had a pickup.
Q: Did the guy riding with you say anything about what was going on?
A: He said he didn’t know what was going on. That was the first thing I
said, “What in the hell’s going on?” You know. He said, “You know more
about it than we do,” something similar to that. I don’t know the exact
words, but he didn’t know anything.
Q: Now we’re back to the Officers’ Club and you met her there. When you
saw her, how did she look?
A: Like a nervous wreck. Her hair wasn’t combed or nothing. She said
she’d been sick all night crying and everything else, and she was still
crying. She was hysterical. She put her hands over her face and said
I can’t believe it. The most horrible thing she’d ever seen. She was
really in bad shape.
Q: You called her and wanted to get in touch with her to talk with her
about what happened.
A: I was curious.
Q: Did she seem reluctant at first to talk to you about it?
A: No, she said I’ve got to talk to you. I want to know what happened
to you. She said I’ve got to talk to somebody, and that was it. You
know, I’d see her a lot. I knew all those old girls out there, you know.
Q: Did she give you any indication or any reason to believe that she
had been told to keep her mouth shut about it, or...
A: Well, yeah, because I’ll tell you what. She had this drawing on the
back of a prescription pad, these little bodies, it was on the back,
a little small thing on the back of a prescription pad. She said,
“I’m going to show you something, and you have to give me your sacred
oath that you won’t tell anybody when you got this and you won’t ever
mention my name, because I will get in a lot of trouble.” That’s what
she said. “I will get in a lot of trouble.”
Q: She didn’t say specifically that somebody had...
A: No, she just said, “I will get in a lot of trouble.” She said, “Will
you do that?” I said, “Sure.”
She showed me that. And she had it written on the back like I had it on
the back of that, you have my drawing, where I said note, and all that.
That’s what she said.
Q: She let you keep that, she gave it to you?
A: Yeah, she said you look at it and you throw it away. I never did. I
went and took it back and put it in my personal file.
Q: Which subsequently got tossed, apparently.
A: Well, all the files got tossed.
Q: What happened?
