July 10, 1997: Roswell Investigator - John Kirby
Published 2 years, 4 months ago
Description
Art Bell welcomes researcher John Kirby from Portland for a definitive wrap-up of Roswell's 50th anniversary. Kirby presents audio recordings from key witnesses, starting with Walter Haut, the officer who delivered the famous press release announcing the capture of a flying saucer. Haut explains that Colonel Blanchard handed him the draft and sent him to the local media. He describes the event with striking calm, noting he delivered the release and went home for lunch.
Frank Kaufman, who claims he was part of the impact site cleanup crew, describes the craft as roughly 24 feet long with a shape resembling a stealth bomber. He reports finding bodies and describes the beings as small, about five feet tall, with ash-colored skin and features that looked surprisingly human. He dismisses the Santilli autopsy film as a hoax.
Jesse Marcel Jr. recounts handling debris his father brought home, including foil-like material and small I-beams bearing purple geometric symbols. He disputes the mogul balloon explanation after examining actual mogul materials. A rare tape captures Jesse Marcel Sr. phoning his son years later. Colonel DuBose confirms the balloon was a cover story, and Major Easley says he remains sworn to secrecy.
