Testimony of Brigadier General Thomas J. DuBose
  As mentioned earlier, Colonel Thomas J. DuBose, who later retired as a
brigadier general, was present when the wreckage was brought into Ramey's
office. There's no disputing this fact, because DuBose met the B-29
personally when it arrived at Carswell AFB (Fort Worth) from Roswell carrying
the debris that Marcel had collected.
  DuBose not only greeted the incoming plane, but hand carried the wreckage
remnants in a sealed canvas mail pouch, immediately escorting it to Ramey's
office.
  In a revealing interview, DuBose puts to rest the "mystery" of the so-
called substituted wreckage and exposes it for what it is - another Major
Marcel myth. DuBose's comments have never appeared before in any book on
Roswell.
  Q: There are two researchers (Schmitt and Randle) who are presently saying
that the debris in General Ramey's office had been switched and that you men
had a weather balloon there in its place.
  A: Oh Bull! That material was never switched!
  Q: So what you're saying is that the material in General Ramey's office was
the actual debris brought in from Roswell?
  A: That's absolutely right.
  In a second and a third, final interview, DuBose repeated his assertions
that no wreckage substitution had taken place. More important, by the time of
the third interview, DuBose had looked at the photos of the recovered debris
taken at that time by J. Bond Johnson. DuBose recognized the material in the
photos.
  Q: Did you get a chance to read the material and look at the pictures?
  A: Yes, and I studied the pictures very carefully.
  Q: Do you recognize that material?
  A: Oh yes. That's the material that Marcel brought into Fort Worth from
Roswell.
  DuBose's comments are significant, because they establish that there was no
substituted wreckage and that the material Marcel recovered near Roswell was
later photographed and put on display for public view in Ramey's office by
Ramey himself.
  I also present the testimonies of Irving Newton, who was also present that
day in Ramey's office, and Sheridan Cavitt, who helped Marcel collect the
wreckage from the ranch. After looking at the same debris photos, they
confirmed that they depict the material they recalled seeing and that no UFO
debris was ever there. In fact, both Newton and Cavitt make it very clear in
their interviews that they have been misquoted by various UFO researchers,
and they resent it.
  Although DuBose's testimony and all available evidence easily refute
Marcel's substituted wreckage claim, DuBose was adamant that there was indeed
a coverup. He never knew what the Roswell object was, but he did know that it
was not an ordinary weather balloon, contrary to what was claimed at that
time. The question now becomes, what was the object?
