I just read this article about the deathbed affidavit by Walter Haut, who was the army public relations liaison at the Roswell Air Force base in 1947 when the so-called “Roswell Incident” occurred. After initially releasing that the army had recovered a strange craft, he issued a statement to the press that it was the wreckage of a weather balloon and that no strange alien ship had crash-landed in the desert. There was no UFO and no bodies either. It was just a weather balloon and some dumb hick farmer’s imagination.

Walter died last year, but before kicking the bucket, he made a sworn affidavit to be released after he passed away. In it, he states that the weather balloon explanation was indeed a cover story and that a strange craft was recovered as well as alien corpses. There was not one, but two crashes; the second having much more debris and bodies.

He described a meeting with the base commander and other high-ranking officers where they puzzled over pieces of strange material from the craft. He told of being taken to “Building 94″—one of the base’s hangers, where he was shown a metallic, egg-shaped craft about twelve to fifteen feet long and six feet wide with no windows, landing gears or features whatsoever. He saw two child-like bodies about four feet tall with oddly large heads, lying on the floor, covered with a tarp.

You can read a copy of the full affidavit here.

…something to ponder over your morning oatmeal.
