Roswell Fireman Confesses - It was a Flying Saucer!

A firefighter who was with the Roswell Fire Department in 1947 has confirmed that the mysterious crash in the New Mexico desert that Summer was in fact of an unearthly craft!

The firefighter, now age 90, related stunning information to this author in a lengthy interview conducted recently. Respected Roswell author Kevin Randle also talked with the involved fireman to confirm the details of his story.

Some time ago I located the son of Rue Chrisman. Rue was the Fire Chief for the Roswell Fire Department in 1947, passing in 1981 at age 98. Chrisman's son explained to me that he knew that the town's Fire Department was somehow involved in the crash event. But the son was sparse in his conversation, not really wishing to elaborate. When pressed, the son said, "It did happen. There was a big coverup. The crash was real." I asked him how he knew of this, he paused and said, "I knew too many who knew."

[JoeProBono]

I then asked him if any Roswell Firemen from 1947 are still alive. He replied that there was still "one left." He only mentioned the surviving fireman's surname as "Smith" and that one of his family members attends the same church as the involved fireman. Working with Kevin Randle, we identified and located the elderly gentleman and sought his testimony.

When reached, the Fireman was somewhat hesitant to discuss the matter. But after some "small talk" he warmed up to discussion. In a far-ranging conversation, the Fireman related these incredible details:

- An intimidating Colonel from Roswell Army Air Field visited the Roswell Fire Department immediately after the crash. The Colonel explained to the fireman who were at the department that day that an "unknown object from someplace else" had crashed in the desert outside Roswell. The Colonel warned that no one was to speak about the event to anyone ever. He also commanded them that nobody was to go out to the site or respond to any inquiries about the event. He explained that "everything was being handled by the military."

- Dan Dwyer, another Roswell Fire Department firefighter, did manage to go out to see the crash site, defying the Colonels orders. He confirms some of the details that Dan Dwyer's daughter, Frankie Rowe, has related in numerous interviews over the years. Frankie maintains that her father was able to view the craft and its occupants.

- Dan related to him that the area surrounding the crash was secured and cordoned by armed guards. Firemen went out there on their own volition, not as a "department." The Fireman did not want to talk too much about Dan Dwyer and Frankie Rowe though.

- The crash was of a craft not from Earth. The Fireman explained that it was not a balloon or any type of military experiment. He said that it was a "UFO." When I said to him that the term "UFO" was not used back then...he said it was "unidentified- a flying saucer." I asked him how he knew this and he stated that he was certain it was because of "what I was told at the time it happened." He explained that the Colonel did not know what the craft was or from where it came...and that there was great concern over the situation.

- The Roswell City Manager knew about the event and came into the Fire Department to personally and forcefully order the department to say nothing of the crash. Although the Fireman could not recall the City Manager's name at the time, I knew who it was. When I mentioned the name "C.M. Woodbury" to him, he said that did seem to be the name. As it happens, C.M. Woodbury would have been a very intimidating individual with whom to reckon. This is because C.M. Woodbury was known as the "Iron Major" - a decorated War vet of the notoriously effective 752nd Tank Battallion. Woodbury was also very close friends with Butch Blanchard, the Roswell Army Air Field base Commander.

- The Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF) base Fire Department was heavily involved in the crash recovery. The Fireman explained that "this is where the confusion comes from." The Fire Department that was most heavily involved in the crash retrieval was not so much the city fire department but the base's own Fire Department. He asserted that the RAAF firemen "knew the most" about the event. He was unfortunately unable to recall the names of these firemen...............

As a firemen I can unequivocally state that firemen are some of the most imaginative lying BS artists one will ever encounter.

[PAR35]

More second and third hand ‘information’.

"In other testimony, the firemen mentioned they had brought an alien to earth that was to have his birth certificate registered in the state of Hawaii.........."

Hey, tinfoil is very becoming on me.

[stockpirate]

They also make excelent eye witnesses.

15 minutes of fame starts . . . now.

OK. We're done . . .

[MindBender26]

This is BS, and it isn’t even very good BS!

[chuck_the_tv_out]

If an alien could travel from another solar system, I am darn sure they could make a spaceship that didn’t stall.

[nufsed]

Ther won’t be anymore direct info. It happened over 60 years ago.

[mysterio]

If he wants us to believe him, he’ll have to submit his blurry photo like everyone else. Although the fact that a random blog called “ufo digest” broke the big story makes it so much more believable.

[Trod Upon]

The government couldn’t even conceal Clinton’s hosing his intern, but we’re to believe they can hide persistent, global ET visits? In the age of camcorders and camera phones? Yeah.

[devere]

It seems very unlikely to me that an extra-terrestrial craft crashed at Roswell, NM, because the US Government and its leaders did not subsequently behave as though such a world-altering event had occurred. It’s always hard to determine who is telling the truth, but you can often depend on human nature to reveal what actually happened.

[JoeProBono]

“15 minutes of fame starts . . . now. “

“...However, when testimony is given by an individual who is in fact who he says he is- and who did not come forward but instead was “found,” we should pay attention to that testimony. And the truth of the event does not depend on taking the speaker’s word alone as evidence of truth. But the Fireman’s testimony is of special importance because he has never come forward publicly before with his story and he has no apparent reason or motivation to lie. The Fireman’s full name will not be released until his death. He is in the last years of life, living out his days peacefully with close family. Author Kevin Randle also talked with the Fireman after I did, and agrees that a barrage of calls and contacts to the elderly man by skeptics and others would be a disservice to an old man.

It is said that when a man becomes a Fireman, his greatest act of bravery has been accomplished. In this case though, the old Fireman’s greatest act of bravery was to tell what he knew about the Roswell event for the sake of history and truth.”

[loreldan]

Funny that the “intimidating Colonel” visited the fire department to tell them about it - only to warn them not to visit or tell anyone else.

[DainBramage]

Uhm....this guy isnt an eye witness.

[PISANO]

Until E=MC2 is thrown into the ash heap of history, interstellar flight is not realistic.

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

Not really, just seemed appropriate for the thread.

It is said that when a man(white)male becomes a Fireman, his greatest act of bravery overcoming affirmative action laws and gender recruitment efforts has been accomplished

There fixed it.

My wife and I visited Roswell, NM, for the first time recently. What a nice town!

The campus of the military academy is quite beautiful. Everyone in town was very friendly.

The town has a great sense of humor about the UFO incident. In the center of town are restaurants, souvenir stores, etc., on the Extraterrestrial theme--with good humor--and, of course, the museum. Alien eyes are on some of the street lights. I bought a tee shirt with an alien on it.

We had lunch at a packed restaurant. I asked the waitress if she gets tired of the UFO business. She said, "No. It's fun!"

The people I talked with believe that it was an extraterrestrial UFO.

I do too. But what do I know? I thought that thing on Mars looked like a face.

[Young Werther]

It was a secret recce balloon.

Did you know that the Japanese launched thousands of bomb carrying balloons toward the US during WWII? They hoped to start fires in the West and divert resources away from our war effort.

Boom!

[Savage Beast]

"interstellar flight is not realistic"

Yes it is. Don't you remember? We squeeze through the wormholes. We can even go from one brane to another--from one universe to another.

[stockpirate]

I like the story about the UFO the size of an aircraft carrier over the UK. Two F15’s are giving chase and ordered to fire, just before firing it disappeared.

[DainBramage]

Its obvious they were listening to our military radio channel. Nanu-nanu

[True Republican Patriot]

That is extrememly demeaning and racially inciteful against the Aliens! One must be sensitive, please:-)

[BipolarBob]

I am darn sure they could make a spaceship that didn’t stall.

My spark plugs wear out at 50 million light years or so. I'm just saying.

[Twinkie]

So, then, how can we believe you, Dain? (I doubt firemen are any worse than the usual person, Dain.)

[Savage Beast]

I remember when the Roswell incident happened. I was a little kid in school.

First they said it was a Flying Saucer from Outer Space. We--the children and the teacher--figured it probably was--shrugged it off--moved on to the next subject.

Then they came out with the WHOPPER that it was a weather balloon. Everybody laughed. (Some little boy in class showed the newspaper clipping during "sharing"). Nobody believed that one. "They can't tell the difference between a balloon and a flying saucer?????"

Nobody fell for that one.

I still haven't.

[Lakeshark]

racially inciteful

You, of course, meant insightful........

*Dons tinfoil hat*

[True Republican Patriot]

Maybe this is where BO came from and the Bull about his KENYAN, Drunken, Absent, mantal Nitwit of a FATHER was just a ruse?

[DainBramage]

I love firemen, they are my brothers!

Im just saying...firemen love to BullSh@t. ...trust me.

[True Republican Patriot]

Just ask the GOREICAL to explain E=mc*2: Gore can blow that away in 2 nanoseconds, just tell him he’ll get a few Million from the Buddhist Monks in return!

[Tupelo]

Ah ha! This explains a lot. They have taken over. just look at some of the births in the months following that landing er crash
Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, Hairy Reed (I know but I like this one better)
Oh My Gawd! They have tooken over.

[50mm]

The fireman is telling the truth. I piloted the flying saucer.

[JoeProBono]

Standing in front of the new Kecksburg UFO monument are (Left) Ron Struble, Kecksburg UFO committeeman, and Kecksburg UFO witness and Kecksburg fireman Bob Bitner dressed for the parade.

[farlander]

Sure it is. Just requires cryo chambers or nano-repair stasis.

[JoeProBono]

[Mr. K]

I knew it all along

[Quix]

Excellent find.

Will ping the list.

UFO PING LIST.

Please let Las Vegas Dave; JoeProBono; and I know if you want on or off the list.

[Gator113]

Well, all I know for sure is that the Grey’s that survived the crash, bred with sheep and field rats. How else can the Obama’s, Pelosi, Reid— and most of the dems be explained.

It was either that, or Hitler had children we have never heard about.

[GOPJ]

They need to interview the wives of the firemen - more would still be alive and they most likely are younger. Men have a way of telling the truth over a pillow.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

I agree. There are thousands of documented witnesses as I understand it. In Hillsdale [1966] alone, over a hundred witnesses:

WoW! of all places to crash. Next to a military sight which has their own military Fire Dept. to cover up the whole affair! How convenient. Let’s see if I have this straight. The military Fire Dept. told the city Fire Dept. that it was an unidentified object and not to say or mention anything to anybody.... Yept those UFO boys couldn’t have picked a better place to crash.
