This nonsense again? I lived at Roswell in 1959 and 1960, was stationed there in 1966-1967. Never heard a word about any UFO crash at Roswell till after the base closed.
Have been back to Roswell several times and UFO nonsense covers the town. I believe it was made up to bring in tourists after Walker AFB closed down taking the revenue it brought in to a halt.
There was a TV show about this back around 2008 or so in which a group got permission to dig at the crash site. They had the blessing of former Governor Bill Richardson who was on the show and said they would let the world know what REALLY happened there when they had examined the artifacts from the dig.
They have never been heard from since.
There were two characters who claimed they had shot a DRAGON in the hills west of Roswell. Even had photos of the skin. Quite a tale till they admitted they had traded some live chickens and other goods for a large python snake skin. This was reported on the front page for several days of the Roswell Daily Record back in 1959.
What about the local news report of a captured flying saucer in the paper the day after it happened in 1947?
