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’.

[Lakeshark]

"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.

[jeffc]

15 minutes of fame starts . . . now.

OK. We're done . . .

[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.

[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.

[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.

[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.

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.

[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.

[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.

[Oldpuppymax]

So I guess this means that there really is some secret facility with one of those translucent, squiddy like things with all the tentacles, just like in the movie! Of course, today it would be Klaatu Barrada Yo Mama, I suppose, huh?
