Ufo

Roswell

New Mexico (USA), summer, 1947. Something crashed in the desert near the town of Roswell. Why US Air Forces classified TOP SECRET this file? It could involve, in fact, of an UFO and the passengers whose bodies we would have recuperate...... The Officer Jesse A. Marcel, discovered very curious rests of the machine, but he is ruled out from the inquiry and the affair is suppressed. Years later, he did not make succeed to forget and he resumes his own inquiry. A mysterious machine crashed on July 2, 1947 in the desert of New Mexico, but In spite of differents hypothesis were at present emitted by the specialists and the media, the mistery is still remains to clarify  .

CRASH AT ROSWELL : ( the model kit )
Brand : Testor
Scale : Perhaps 1/48 !
Materials : Injected plastic
Year : I don't remember !
Ref : I spoke with a "little Gray" !!

This model reproduces most accurately the UFO which would have crashed to Roswell in 1947 in New Mexico. With testimonies ( Military mostly ) who participated at the searches on the crash site , "TESTORS" carved very well the forms of the machine, especially when we compare the model with the  witnesses drawings of this time.

We begin with the cockpit which consists of a long compartment provided with 6 seats with a frontal dashboard and a right side panel. 6 Extraterrestrials "pilots" are supplied and once paints, we can place in their seat. I painted all the cockpit in charcoal grey  with silver effects. Controls are very fine decals that we place carefully. The Extraterrestrials have grey skin with big dark eyes. I painted 6 figurines as it was necessary. Their spatial suits were painted in  dark grey. For my part, I followed the explanations plan step by step. As we have no testimonies concerning the inside of the vessel, we can make some personal improvements.

One dried, we are going to glue this set in the hull of the vessel. This hull consists of two pieces, top-bottom. Superior piece is in 2 parts with one, transparent. The bottom part has the particularity to have all the surface with honeycombed panels. The cockpit is glued on the lower part, we close the hull. The transparent piece by which we can perceive the Extraterrestrials was painted by the same colour as the hull. I cut up the access door. Two big ailerons comes to cement to the extremities of wings. The UFO nose is in smoked transparent part which we shall cement with tranparent glue. The top of the model is painted in HUMBROL " polished, steel. The bottom is painted in blue . For the diorama, I reproduced a scenery of the crash. It built it with polystyrene foam, wood glue, some plaster, sawdust and painting and that's all !!

The History

The sky of New Mexico in 1947 were very blocked by flying objects which no had anything to see with Navy, US Air Force or GermansV2 which continued to be tested two years after the end of the world war 2.

July 3, 1947, farmer " Mac " Brazel, discovers, in the morning, in his Foster ranch of Corona ( New Mexico), a wide field of very strange metal fragments. But as soon as he begins to manipulate them, " Mac " Brazel realizes their extraordinary lightness doubled by an incredible resistance. Very intrigued, he indicates it to the sheriff of the Chaves county.

" Mac " Brazel, with his box containing some fragments, meets the sheriff George Wilcox who took his testimony. The  fragment samples which had just deposited " Mac " Brazel on his office, looked like nothing of it he knew. This two mens agreed to warn the military base of Roswell about the discovery.

The major officer Jesse Marcel (who knew perfectly all which flew in this time), examined in detail the fragments. Quickly he was convinced that he was in presence of something strange. He decided to inform the base commander about it.

Jesse Marcel and the colonel William Blanchard agreed that fragments belonged to a non-indentified plane type and stemming from an unknown technology. The idea that he could involve an meteorological balloon was not even evoked. The colonel informed the general Roger Ramey, commanding the 8th Air Force in Fort Worth ( Texas ), of the disturbing discovery. This one alerted the Pentagon in Washington immediately.  A short time later, William Blanchard had to get back fragments to the sheriff office and send it to Fort Worth.

Dispatched on crash site, Jesse Marcel examined fragments which looks like indestructible aluminium foils and verified the radioactivity but found any signs. Having collected a big quantity of fragment, the major officer brought at home to announce it to his wife and son, Jesse Marcel JR of 11 years old who kept of this day a very lively memory, especially having touched of small "girders" with strange purple hieroglyphs.

The colonel Blanchard decided to publish a press release that a " flying disc " had been recuperate. Immediately, radios, newspapers, sheriff office are submerged by whole world calls. Blanchard decides to go on the fragment site with his headquarters members. Meanwhile, " Mac " Brazel learns that we are going to put him in a reconnaissance plane to look for the bodies of the occupants of the mysterious flying disc becauce he knows the site. The plane finished to locate the standing foreign machine obliquely in angle of the ground, some metres high, a sort of slope of which lying the wreck and occupiers.

Discovering the UFO, the pilots saw a serious problem come : civilians approached. It is at this moment that the Roswell affair became the secret  best guarded by the US Army.

When the second crash site was identified, the colonel Blanchard rushed towards the crashed UFO. Washington photographers began to take pictures and films of the site under all the angles taking charge of bodies. Ambulances were reserved for the transport. Soldiers received for mission to sit down close to watch them during the period of return of the base. Cadavers arrived at the hospital of the base and the autopsies began immediately.

A short time later, during a press conference, Jesse Marcel was made a fool by the general Roger Ramey. During this conference, the major Marcel was able to notice, fragments that we presented to him were those of a meteorological balloon. Nothing extraordinary . The general Ramey would have whispered to Jesse Marcel that " we know what you saw but now, they are rests of a borer balloon that you found !!! "

Pictures taken this day were reproduced in the world, shattering Marcel's life and until his death, had any respite to know the truth.

General Ramey disappeared to take charge of a press release explaining that the Roswell Army had not known how recognize a vulgar balloon !! News of " flying disc" recovery was demolished one day after.

At the hospital of the base, Glenn Dennis mortician employee, crossed a nurse whom he knew. She was sick and shocked. When she seen Dennis, she shouted him to leave of hospital at the risk of having troubles. The nurse made him swear to never reveal her identidy or what she was going to say !!

Glenn Dennis will hold his promise during forty years. The nurse revealed him that she fit in a room and had smelt a hideous smell there. Two unknown doctors examined bodies of small beings. One of them was intact and two others had been very damaged. The nurse described bodies: voluminous head, bone of the skull rather soft, bone of the body fine as of thick cartilage, reduced ears lobes ; cracked mouth and devoid of teeth, small nose, concave face , pushed eyes, forearm very long, small hands with four fingers without thumb, without nails, endowed with small "suction cups".

After this event, Dennis never saw again her friend. She would have been killed in a plane crash.

Now that the smallest physical signs of the crash was erased, all the implied military mens were reunited by small groups and informed that what they had seen was "TOP SECRET" in very high level !!

This day, and the next days, all the tracked down civilians received threats. Some, death threats, including the sheriff Wilcox family.

" Mac " Brazel had disappeared and "cooked" by the Army during three days. Until his death in 1965, he contented to make understand to his friends relations that he knew things but that he could not speak about it and what he had seen, was not a balloon !!!

AND THEN, NOTHING MORE !!!!!

The forgotten item news re-appears

In 1978, the physicist Santon Friedman which is interested in the UFO phenomena , take contact with Jessie Marcel. This one asserts that fragments found in 1947 were not absolutely those of a borer balloon !!! 30 years after the event, Friedman begins an inquiry on the affair with Marcel. Numerous questions ask then. As it would have been wanted to hide rests of a real flying saucer ? Did we replace the true fragments by artificial ? At least, the media seize again the history.

From 1994, boards of inquiry deep back into archives to find signs of the affair. CIA, FBI, NSA, go to work. One year later, in front of a population in search of the truth, the report which follows from it comes to be publish : there would have never been a crash of flying saucer. However, numbers of archives (and it is there that the affair grow up ),dating this time were destroyed with documents of the Roswell base from 1945 till 1949 or still relative documents at the communications emitted from 1946 till December 1949. What did it really happen in 1947?? Governmental conspiracy??

Ultra secret project ?

Nowadays, the truth not being clarified, two hypotheses ensue from facts:

1 °-The first one privileges the crash of a real saucer which the history was hidden from the public. Since 1978, severals testimonies of persons working for the Roswell base confirm this hypothesis. They speak about saucer fragments but also about passengers corpses. According to their descriptions, this Extra-terrestrials was small size (1,20 meters) and surmounted by a big head. We speak even about an hangar (N 18, Wright-Patterson) where would be stored corpses and fragments to make military and technological experiments.

2 °-The other one, US Air Forces maintains quite other version. It supports the fact that the machine of Roswell, was a balloon of the Mogul project, classified top secret in this time and that corpses found, were in fact only anthropomorphic models, but these, made their beginning only in 1954 !! Since 1947, campaigns of information and disinformations are practised by the American Government on this history. In what can we believe? We would want that this history is true because it is fantastic! Or then, we would want that it not real for fear the collective hysteria of the populations, or the upheaval in all institution, military or religious. But, can we remain to neutral?? Imagine the "mess"what it would be if one day everybody knew ?! On whom could we still trust ?! The Army would be the first ones to suffer. Military have to protect the population, not to terrify them. The Air Force would not be more a master of skies ? The debate is opened.

What it is necessary to know

The Roswell history is not the only one. A multitude of military, civil testimonies, policemen, airline pilots, assert having seen the strange phenomena. (More and more numbers!!!) Of 1940 in our days, successive waves of unexplained cases are listed every year. The most disturbing histories are those of persons who assert having been kidnaped by Extra-Terrestrials and having endured " medical " exams. But this will be the object of another text !!
