(Jesse Marcel; and while he was commendably loyal to his father, Dr Marcel, also an eyewitness to the now-famous Roswell incident, admitted that his dad had a problem with alcohol late in his life.)
Wait! Are you implying that since his father was an alcoholic that he made the story up? There have been witnesses who said it happened.
There’s no doubt that the balloon crashed and Major Marcel and his son, destined to become the flight surgeon Dr Jesse Marcel Jr, looked at the debris on their kitchen table (or so Dr Marcel said).
20+ years later the retired Lt Colonel Marcel characterized that debris as an alien artifact when talking to ufologist Stanton Friedman.
It’s uncertain what role alcohol may have had in that conversation, but it is true that Dr Jesse Marcel Jr mentioned to me that his father had an alcohol problem at that time.
just ad hominem, ignore it. jesse said he himself handled the material the night his father recovered it.
whether his father drank later in life is irrelevant to that, and your troll knows it.
