From same, aforesaid article:
The base called Kaufmann and his colleagues back to Roswell, they met with base intelligence officer Jesse Marcel and base commander Col. William Blanchard, and a search crew was dispatched.
"It was pitch black. It was a thunderstorm, by the way. Off the highway we could see this kind of glow. The terrain was very rough and it was very wet. It was full of caliche out there. It was like driving on ice. We had to cut the wire fence and I think maybe we got 200 to 300 yards from it and it looked like it wasn't a plane or a missile or anything like that. So we radioed in for a special group, the chemical boys, to inspect the area. When they told us it was all right to go in is when we saw the debris field.
"We were there just dumbfounded. We didn't know what to think. And we didn't know how anybody else would react if we told them what we saw. They would probably wonder what we had been drinking."
The aliens "didn't have any of these big eyes or horns or anything else or spiny fingers. They were very good-looking people, ash-colored faces and skin. About 5 feet 4, 5 feet 5. Eyes a little more pronounced, a little bit larger. Small ears, small nose. Fine features. Hairless. There were five. They had a very tight, almost a wetsuit, silver colored. I just saw two of them. One was thrown out of the craft itself. And one was half in and half out. They were all dead".
(End)
Marcel was there?
Doesn't really all seem to... 'equate'... somehow.
Have to say, whatever anyone may conclude, I have personally understood the true facts about 'Roswell' and its intrinsic complexity, notably from post-1980 material, from delightfully cordial discussions on this thread, than ever before.
Enormously new appreciation of the overall context.
It's a passionate subject and I remain... not so much unsure, as... "keep finding stuff, which requires contemplation".
That wasn't a quote from Brazel or Marcel, by the way...
So.... can we disregard the Kauffman tangent?
