Sworn Affidavit about Roswell UFO

The Roswell incident of 1947 remains one of the most debated and analyzed UFO events in history. Over the years, several individuals connected to the events in Roswell have come forward with testimonies, with some formalizing their accounts through signed affidavits. These affidavits, legal documents that affirm the signer’s personal knowledge or belief, provide a window into the events and details surrounding the alleged UFO crash. Here are some of the notable figures connected to Roswell who signed such affidavits or provided important testimonies:

1. Walter Haut: Haut, the Public Information Officer at Roswell Army Air Field in 1947, signed an affidavit in 2002 that was released after his death in 2005. In it, he described a cover-up, his witnessing of alien bodies, and his knowledge of the extraterrestrial origin of the recovered materials.
2. Jesse Marcel: Although Marcel gave many interviews and public testimonies regarding his handling of the debris, it is not clear if he formally signed a sworn affidavit about the event.
3. Glenn Dennis: A mortician in Roswell at the time of the incident, Dennis claimed knowledge of alien autopsies taking place and signed an affidavit regarding his experiences.
4. Frank Joyce: A radio broadcaster in Roswell in 1947, Joyce claimed to have received a call from a rancher (initially, this was thought to be Mac Brazel) describing the debris field before the military became involved. It’s believed Joyce signed an affidavit to this effect.
5. Arthur R. McQuiddy: As you mentioned, McQuiddy, the editor of the Roswell Morning Dispatch, claimed in an affidavit that Lt. Walter Haut delivered a press release to him announcing the recovery of a “flying saucer.” Later, he was asked to change the story to a “weather balloon.”
6. Loretta Proctor: A neighbor of Mac Brazel (the rancher who discovered the debris), Proctor was one of the first people he showed the strange materials to. She gave an affidavit describing the material she saw.
7. Col. Thomas J. DuBose: In July 1947, Col. Thomas J. DuBose was stationed at Fort Worth Army Air Field. In his signed affidavit, he affirmed that he received a direct phone call from Gen. Clements McMullen of Strategic Air Command. During this call, McMullen informed him about an object that had been recovered outside of Roswell, NM. DuBose’s affidavit is another key piece of evidence for those who believe that the Roswell incident involved something more than a weather balloon.
8. 1st Lt. Robert Shirkey: On 8 July 1947, Shirkey, who was stationed at Roswell Army Air Field, claimed in his signed affidavit to have witnessed the loading of the UFO debris onto a B-29 flight that was bound for Fort Worth. This account reinforces the claims of those who believe that the recovered debris was immediately transported out of Roswell for further examination.
9. Oliver “Pappy” W. Henderson: In an account shared by family members and later solidified by an affidavit dated 9 July 1991, Henderson, a highly respected pilot for the military, claimed to have piloted a flight carrying the Roswell debris and, importantly, alien bodies, directly to Wright Field (now Wright-Patterson Air Force Base) in Ohio. Henderson’s claim is particularly notable because of his reputation and the specific assertion of transporting extraterrestrial bodies.
10. Bill Brazel: Mac Brazel’s son also gave an affidavit regarding the strange materials his father found and the subsequent events, including the military’s involvement and cleanup of the debris field.

The affidavits and testimonies presented by these key individuals provide a compelling narrative of events that deviate from the official explanation of a weather balloon crash. Whether one believes in the extraterrestrial hypothesis or opts for a more terrestrial explanation, the accounts of these witnesses offer a deeper dive into one of history’s most intriguing UFO incidents.
