which may possibly have been a revised version of the above
story, stated:

RAAF CAPTURES FLYING SAUCER ON RANCH IN ROSWELL REGION

No Details of Flying Disk are Revealed

Roswell Daily Record July 8th, 1947


The intelligence office of the 509th Bombardment group at
Roswell Army Air Field announced at noon today, that the
field has come into possession of a flying saucer.

According to information released by the department, over
authority of Maj. J. A. Marcel, intelligence officer, the
disk was recovered on a ranch in the Roswell vicinity, after
an unidentified rancher had notified Sheriff Geo. Wilcox
here, that he had found the instrument on his premises.

Major Marcel and a detail from his department went to the
ranch and recovered the disk, it was stated.

After the intelligence officer here had inspected the
instrument it was flown to higher headquarters.

The intelligence office stated that no details of the
saucer's construction or its appearance had been revealed.

As the above articles explain, the recovery was conducted by
the highly-trained 509th Bomb Group, which, as I mentioned
before, was directly involved with the 1945 nuclear attacks
against Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

In short, the Roswell Army Air Field retrieval team did not
consist of new, inexperienced recruits. They obviously knew
their job well; they undoubtedly knew how to distinguish a
flying disc from a weather balloon; and we can assume that
the recovery operation was conducted in a very professional
manner. In spite of these facts, the next day, the US media
reported that the Commanding General of the U.S. Eighth Air
Force, located in Fort Worth, Texas, had announced that what
the 509th Bomb Group had actually recovered, was a crashed
radar-tracking balloon, and not a flying disc, as had been
reported the previous day.

Given the above facts, it's quite easy to understand why this
sudden reversal would fuel speculation of an intentional U.S.
Government cover-up. As outsiders to all of these events, we
the public can only wonder. Was the "flying disc" story the
cover-up created to protect Project Mogul, or is it possible
that the Project Mogul / weather balloon story was the actual
cover-up created to protect the U.S. Government's recovery of
a real alien flying disc?

Perhaps we can discover at least part of the answer in one of
the many US Government documents which have been released in
recent years, as a result of the Freedom of Information Act.
Commonly referred to by UFOlogists as the "Hottel Memo", the
following 1950 document is generally believed to be genuine;
that is to say, it is not a hoax; it is in fact authentic. It
should be noted that while there's currently no way to verify
the reliability of the information contained in the memo, the
fact that the names of individuals, and other information, is
purposely deleted, (as with many other FOIA documents), does
add to the overall strangeness of the memo. The "Hottel Memo"
states as follows:

Office Memorandum                  UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT

TO: DIRECTOR, FBI                      DATE: March 22, 1950

FROM: GUY HOTTEL, SAC, WASHINGTON

SUBJECT: FLYING SAUCERS INFORMATION CONCERNING


The following information was furnished to SA [blanked] by [
blanked                          ] [blanked]

An investigator for the Air Forces stated that three
so-called flying saucers had been recovered in New Mexico.
They were described as being circular in shape with raised
centers, approximately 50 feet in diameter. Each one was
occupied by three bodies of human shape but only three feet
tall, dressed in metallic cloth of a very fine texture. Each
body was bandaged in a manner similar to the blackout suits
used by speed flyers and test pilots.

According to Mr. [blanked] informant, the saucers were found
in New Mexico due to the fact that the Government has a very
high-powered radar set-up in that area and it is believed
the radar interferes with the controlling mechanism of the
saucers.

No further evaluation was attempted by SA [blank] concerning
the above.

Another important piece of information regarding the Roswell
case comes from one General Thomas Jefferson Dubose, who in
July, 1947 was a Colonel, and the Chief of Staff to Major
General Roger Ramey. General Ramey was the head of the 8th
Army Air Force at Fort Worth, Texas. It was Ramey who began
circulating the weather balloon story after the recovered
crash materials, (as well as the alleged alien bodies), had
been transported to the Fort Worth facility from the Roswell
Army Air Field. It would later be sent to Wright-Patterson
Air Force Base, located outside of Dayton, Ohio. In a photo
that was circulated at that time, in order to add weight to
the weather balloon story, both Gen. Ramey and Dubose can be
seen inspecting what appear to be the remains of a broken
weather balloon, on the floor of General Ramey's office.

But after decades of alleged cover-up, something interesting
happened in 1991. Dubose, who was now a retired Brigadiere
General, decided that it was time to reveal the full truth
regarding the Roswell UFO incident. In a signed and notarized
affidavit, Dubose offered a completely different account of
what had occurred back in July 1947. In the full reproduction
below, please notice that in paragraph seven, General Dubose
clearly states that the weather balloon story and photograph
were all part of the U.S. Government's cover-up:

AFFIDAVIT

(1) My name is Thomas Jefferson Dubose

(2) My address is: XXXXXXXXXX

(3) I retired from the U.S. Air force in 1959 with the rank
of Brigadier General.

(4) In July 1947, I was stationed at Fort Worth Army Air
Field [later Carswell Air Force Base] in Fort Worth, Texas.
I served as Chief of Staff to Major General Roger Ramey,
Commander, Eight Air Force. I had the rank of Colonel.

(5) In early July, I received a phone call from Maj. Gen.
Clements McMullen, Deputy Commander, Strategic Air Command.
He asked what we knew about the object which had been
recovered outside Roswell, New Mexico, as reported in the
press. I called Col. William Blanchard, Commander of the
Roswell Army Air Field and directed him to send the material
in a sealed container to me at Fort Worth. I so informed
Maj. Gen. McMullen.

(6) After the plane from Roswell arrived with the material,
I asked the Base Commander, Col. Al Clark, to take possession
of the material and to personally transport it in a B-26 to
Maj. Gen. McMullen in Washington, D.C. I notified Maj. Gen.
McMullen, and he told me he would send the material by
personal courier on his plane to Benjamin Chidlaw, Commanding
General of the Air Material Command at Wright Field [later
Wright Patterson AFB]. The entire operation was conducted
under the strictest secrecy.

(7) The material shown in the photographs taken in Maj. Gen.
Ramey's office was a weather balloon. The weather balloon
explanation for the material was a cover story to divert the
attention of the press.

(8) I have not been paid or given anything of value to make
this statement, which is the truth to the best of my
recollection.

Signed: T. J. Dubose Date: 9/16/91

Signature witnessed by: Linda R. Split Notary Public, State
of Florida
