Loretta Proctor: Neighbor of Mac Brazel, the rancher who originally
discovered the "saucer" debris. She claims she tried to bend, burn, and break
a piece of the material Brazel showed her but was unable to. Proctor's
testimony is used by crashed-saucer buffs to buttress the argument that a
spaceship made of unknown, exotic material crashed near Roswell.
  Truth: Loretta Proctor has changed her story several times. She has
transformed herself from a "witness" who never saw any debris, to one who now
tried to bend, break, and burn the "mysterious" material. She began changing
her account after her husband, Floyd, who made it very clear in earlier
interviews that they had never seen any material, passed away.
  Sergeant Melvin E. Brown: Brown is touted as a "witness" who saw alien
bodies by Roswell authors Friedman, Randle and Schmitt, and Michael Hesemann
and Philip Mantle (Beyond Roswell).
  Truth: Melvin Brown cannot be considered a witness since he died in 1986
and was never interviewed by UFO researchers. Indeed, the only "proof" one
has that Brown was a "witness" comes from his daughter, Beverly Bean, who
first made the claim years after his death. No other member of Brown's family
supports her claim. Furthermore, a check by this author of Brown's military
file revealed that he was a cook who held no security clearance and never
pulled guard duty. Also noted in the book are the blatant contradictions and
changes in Beverly Bean's various accounts.
  Major Jesse Marcel: The Hidden Truth
  In my book I publish for the first time excerpts from the military file of
Jesse Marcel, excerpts which prove that although Marcel served his country
honorably, he was not a credible witness and should not be considered as 
uch.
 (Despite this fact, Stanton Friedman and other pro-UFO Roswell authors
consider his every word to be gospel truth.) The file is extremely
incriminating, for it it clearly demonstrates that Marcel had a penchant for
exaggerating things while repeatedly trying to "write himself" into the
history books. Ironically, Marcel's tendency to exaggerate was specifically
noted in his military file by none other than the commander of the base at
Roswell at that time, in a review of his performance that was signed just
after the incident occurred.
