Yet Another Roswell Witness Surfaces
Not what Sgt. Fulford saw, apparently
According to Brendan Burton of Open Minds Forum, Sgt. Earl Fulford, formerly of the US Army Air Force, had a chance to observe the debris field northwest of Roswell in early July, 1947. His testimony in part states that the material was all fractured along straight lines–there were no ragged tears or curves in the pieces he was able to see.
Is this important? I have not heard any testimony about this aspect of the case, but maybe that is simply because no one has bothered to ask about this aspect of the debris. It will probably not be the thing that turns the Roswell case around, but it may be an important detail that can be checked against technological developments of the period. If we are to believe the testimony of many witnesses who report that the material could not be burned, bent, or cut, the wreckage is already in the realm of the unknown at least in 1947. If there is some compound or composite that exhibits properties of breakage along straight lines, the year when it was first produced may provide clues as well. In this regard, it may also have some bearing on Nick’s thesis in Bodysnatchers In The Desert.
In all likelihood, this will all make little difference. As I joked many years ago, the “The Roswell Crash is here to stay/ It will never die/ It was meant to be that way/ Though I don’t know why.”
Link to story (from the sometimes questionable American Chronicle site) is here.

“…but it may be an important detail that can be checked against technological developments of the period.”
I dunno, maybe if someone checked what kind of material advancements they were doing in companies like BASF (german, which during the war had a branch called IG Farben, a company that created among other things the Zyklon B gas), and DUPONT (american) back in those days…

If after fifty years of investigation by UFOlogy’s best, nothing even remoltely conclusive or un-contradictory has ever turned up, why would this new story be the one exception? There are as many versions of the Roswell myth as there are different investigators researching it, and there are as many Roswell witnesses as there are people who are seeking to get their five minutes of fame. I wouldn’t be surprised if 200 years from now we will still be getting Roswell witnesses to come forward. Roswell may very well be the storytale that will never die, but it only won’t die for the kind of fringe groups that ordinary people like to point to and snicker at.

The feds let the cat out of the bag in the very beginning when they initially admitted that they had recovered a crashed flying disk. That is historical fact. Everything they’ve said since then is so obviously a series of cover stories that a child can see through it. And their cover stories keep changing over the years. The Roswell story is true and everyone knows it. General Exon, Major Marcel, Col. Corso, and many others have come forward about the incident. All we’re missing now is an official press release saying that Roswell involved a flying saucer. Oh, that’s right, we already have that!

Greg,
It’s always said that the “memory metal” found in 1947 at the Roswell site was beyond the technology of humans of that era.
However, I distinctly recall reading a rebuttal to that notion. If memory serves it came from Jacques Vallee, who gave the name of the metal and the company that produced it shortly before the 1947 Roswell event. I’ll be hornswoggled if I can remember where I read that citation. Does it ring any bells with you (or anyone else?)

RPJ,
I think Robert and Ryan Wood were doing something like this a few years ago. I don’t know how far they’ve gotten with this project.

Sage,
I’m not sure about un-contradictory, but you notice my “Roswell crash is here to stay” comment is included as well.

Raven,
Vallee, if I’m recalling correctly, said that there was a material called “aluminized saran,” basically plastic wrap with metal glued or otherwise attached onto it. This explains some but not all of the witness testimony.
