Unidentified flying objects -- Sightings and encounters -- New Mexico -- Roswell
In this section, documented research revealed that the reports of
“bodies” at the Roswell AAF hospital were grossly inaccurate and most
probably had origins in actual Air Force mishaps. Examinations of
official records of the alleged primary witnesses revealed that the
“missing nurse” was never missing, and the pediatrician did not arrive
at the Walker AFB hospital until 1951—four years _after_ the alleged
incident. The many fundamental errors in the story, combined with the
substantial similarities to the actual mishaps, show that the most
credible account associated with the “Roswell Incident” is certainly
not extraterrestrial and is unrelated to any events that occurred in
July 1947.
Conclusion
When critically examined, the claims that the U.S. Army Air Forces
recovered a flying saucer and alien crew in 1947, were found to be
a compilation of many verifiable events. For the most part, the
descriptions collected by UFO theorists were of actual operations and
tests carried out by the U.S. Air Force in the 1950s. Despite the
usual unsavory accusations by UFO proponents of cover-up, conspiracy,
intimidation, etc., documented research revealed that many of the
activities were actually historic scientific achievements of which the
Air Force is very proud. However, other descriptions are believed to be
distorted references to Air Force members who were killed or injured in
the line of duty. The incomplete and inaccurate intermingling of these
actual events were grounded in just enough fact to weave a sensational
story, but cannot withstand close scrutiny when compared to official
records.
To analyze reports of alien bodies that at first appeared to be so
offbeat as to not be remotely based in fact, it was necessary to
evaluate a wide range of books, interviews, videos, etc., that a
less objective review might have rejected out of hand. Only through
an inclusive evaluation of these sources were Air Force researchers
able to understand the interconnectivity of the widely separated
events believed responsible for this “incident.” And, in opposition
to critics who believe Air Force research involving this subject is
anything but objective, this research relied almost exclusively on
the descriptions _=provided by the UFO proponents themselves=_. When
collected and examined, the actual statements of the witnesses—not
the extraterrestrial interpretations of UFO proponents—indicated that
something was very wrong. When these descriptions were compared to
documented Air Force activities, they were much too similar to be a
coincidence. Soon, it became apparent that the witnesses or the UFO
proponents who liberally interpreted their statements were either 1)
confused, or 2) attempting to perpetrate a hoax, believing that no
serious efforts would ever be taken to verify their stories.
