New Roswell Witness! [81 year old wife of involved sgt]
UNKNOWN COUNTRY Daily News of the Edge ^ | 11 APR 2003 | ANNE ROBBINS, ANNE STRIEBER ED

Posted on 05/17/2003 12:01:07 PM PDT by Quix

Anne Robbins now lives in Midland, Texas. She's the widow of a career military man who was stationed in Roswell during the Roswell crash in July, 1947. She remembers the description of the saucer that her husband, Technical Sergeant Ernest Robert Robbins, told her he helped recover and the three small beings that were found outside the craft. Now 84 years old, Robbins has never before spoken publicly about Roswell, but she now says that what her late husband saw was not a downed weather balloon.

Seated in a meeting room at the Odessa Meteor Crater Museum, she said, "We had been to a dinner party at the NCO [non-commissioned officers] club on the base and didn't get home until 10:30 or 11. We'd already gone to bed but weren't yet asleep when everything outside lit up like it was daylight. It was like that for what seemed like several minutes, and we both assumed that it was probably helicopters from the base with searchlights on." Soon afterwards, her husband received a phone call and told her he had to report to the base. "I just assumed that there had been a plane crash somewhere nearby," she says. "But I couldn't figure why my husband, a sheet-metal man who repaired planes, was called in."

She was even more puzzled when he returned home the 18 hours later, with his uniform wrinkled and damp. "I asked him what had happened to him, why he was so wet, and he told me he'd had to go through the decontamination tank at the base. I asked, 'In your clothes?' and he said, 'They were what I was wearing when I was out there.' He told me, 'Well, I guess you might as well know; it's going to be in the papers. A UFO crashed outside of Roswell.'

"I told him he was crazy. 'No,' he replied, 'I'm not.' I don't remember him being particularly shocked or very emotional about it. In fact, he seemed cool as a cucumber. He just made it clear to me that he wasn't going to talk about it."

The following morning, she says, "I asked him again if it was really true and he said, yes, it was." When she asked what the UFO looked like, he explained that "if you took two saucers and put them together, that's what it looked like." On the top layer, there were oblong-shaped windows all the way around the craft. He had not looked inside. "I asked him if there was anybody on it. He said, 'I can tell you this much: There were three people. One was dead and two were still alive. I can't tell you anything more.'"

It was not until several days later that Sergeant Robbins finally agreed to drive his wife out to the crash site. By then, all debris had been cleared away. "He didn't say much of anything until we got to a place where there was this big burned spot, a perfect circle so black that it was shiny. No normal fire could have made something like that." It looked like the sand had been melted and turned into a sheet of black glass. "This," he said, "is where I was for 18 hours."

"On the drive home," she says, "I asked him what happened to the spaceship, what happened to the people who were on it. He said, 'I can't tell you that; don't ask me any more.'" That was the last time he ever spoke about it, until he retired from the Air Force in 1961. He died of a heart attack in January, 2000.

Following his retirement, the family moved to Saginaw, near Fort Worth, and he worked first for General Dynamics, then LTV, as an aircraft repairman. "It was years later, when our kids were in high school, that our son Ronald was working on some kind of report on unidentified flying objects and asked his father to tell him about what happened back in Roswell. He didn't say much, basically just what he'd told me years earlier," she says.

"But you know how kids are. Ronald kept asking questions, like what the men found at the crash looked like. Finally, Papa [as she called him] got a pencil and drew this pear-shaped head with large black eyes. Their skin, he said, was brown and they had no nose, no mouth. When Ronald asked him what their bodies looked like, all he would say was, 'Son, you don't want to know about that.'"

She says, "[Ronald] wouldn't talk to you about it…Barbara, my daughter, tells me, 'Daddy's dead, don't bring it up.'"

"All I remember," says their daughter, Barbara Wattlington, "was Dad saying he was stationed in Roswell and that a UFO crashed there."

The last time Anne Robbins remembers her husband talking about it was a few years before his death, when they sat in their Saginaw living room one evening, watching a show about Roswell on TV. "I asked him, 'Was it a hoax?' and all he said was, 'It's the truth. It did land.' I asked him, 'Well, if it did, where is it?' He again said he couldn't tell me that."

She says, "I could never figure out why an airplane repairman would be called out in the middle of the night to participate in the investigation of a crashed UFO." Only after filing her husband's death certificate with military officials in Washington, D.C., did she learn that he had intelligence clearance during his time in Roswell. "That UFO they found didn't just fly away, so where is it?" she says. "And what happened to the people on it? I still say the Air Force knows what happened. Someday, I hope, we might find out the truth."

I assume you understand the answer to your question by now if you read my #29 post.

There's a much lengthier discussion of same in the DISCLOSURE PROJECT book. I suppose I could scan in and OCR the chapter or section and post it but I'm not likely to do so in the next hours.

Do you now understand the viability of the timeline if you've read my post #29?

Since I have had MANY such associations with people in positions to know--I have 0.000% trouble believing the truth of what your relatives said.

Thanks for a kind post.

Your description is a very common one.

I have no trouble believing it.

I'm still coming to terms with just realizing recently that Dulce is a LOT CLOSER to Farmington than I'd thought. Not a pleasant thought.

I haven't kept up on the autopsy video arguments. I've read contentions on all sides and seen it go back and forth in summary so many times I lost interest.

To me, the descriptions of the bodies, even of autopsied bodies from various sources--are so numerous and so diverse in their sources etc., I no longer have any significant doubts about the common themes in the descriptions.

Now therefore what is a whole 'nother issue.

Are they genetically engineered 'skins' for demons? Somehow that's plausible but insufficient for all the stories.

Perhaps it's both/and. True ET slave class critters AND in cahoots with demons or indwelt by them???

We shall see in due course.

"Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord."

I figure that includes ET's--whether they have knees or tongues or not.

Clearly--perhaps understandably--but clearly you have not read a lot of what I've posted over the months/years. Or, perhaps you've chosen to deliberately ignore it before composing your responses.

The answer to your contention has been posted and addressed to you more than once or twice, as I recall.

You either believe Dr Rosin or you don't.

To me, it would take more blind faith not to, than to believe her.

You must have a LOT of rather BLIND faith in your construction on reality.

OR perhaps you just have a huge, intense bias toward a TYPE I error instead of any concerns about a TYPE II error.

I can understand your conjecture.

But it doesn't contend with 1,000's of data points and 100's of first hand witnesses--first hand to the events and technology stuff and/or first hand witnesses in terms of relatives witnessing those witnesses.

Certainly NM is rife with highly classified stuff. That lots of it is derived from UFO craft is exceedingly probable, at this point.

Somehow I find your open-mindedness underwhelming.

But then, I don't have the luxury of the paucity of your experience or the paucity of your review of the evidence

in such matters.

Your conjecture would not begin to explain a vast majority of the narratives of first hand witnesses as well as the narratives of their close relatives.

In an age when it seems no one can keep a secret, I am willing to bet a few bucks that if there were real aliens, or their remains, we would be seeing them on Fox News.

By the way, what are these error types, I and II? I never heard of them before.

It's a worthy question.

I have felt for decades that--

Given that God says ALL CREATION WAITS GROANING, YEARNING FOR THE 'MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS OF GOD'--

Given that Scriptures indicate this is bootcamp for rulers being trained, sifted, purified etc. to rule and reign with Christ across countless galactic clusters and dimensions over endless eons--

WHY WOULDN'T (as some assert) 70 or more ET races be keenly interested in observing the rearing and training of their future rulers???

There is SOME comfort

in the bits of evidence that SEEM to indicate that a number of the ET sorts seemingly in cahoots with satan

are as 'dumb' as he is.

Given that your statement/post is obvious satire, hogwash,

it's understandable you had no valid ref.

I don't really think Al Gore had even enough umph to get it up for a sheep.

And I sure don't think the supposedly resulting VERY OFFspring would be the commonly known ET's.

But certainly Al Gore is as far OUT THERE as any of this stuff.

Gov types were reported to have collected all such with fierce, methodical, thorough ruthlessness.

Of course, some COULD still be out there in the hands of such relatives of witnesses.

The couple is a new puzzle piece for me. I hadn't heard of them before.

But THE DISCLOSURE PROJECT has solid pieces of technology as well as video copies of instrument records and better video/movie subjects. Some are awating Congressional immunity before producing the videos/evidence for the public.
