  • After this, the debris was delivered a few days later to an area in Roswell to an Air Force squad that included a major named "Jesse Marcel.
  • After only a few days, the U.S. Air Force, gave news about their "flying disc"!

If that didn't cause a buzz nothing else would. What made the news a whirlwind was that Major Marcel was called to a location in Texas, that included a General, to look at a particular type of debris, even more surprisingly it wasn't the real one! Instead the general had him use some items that were used for weather, giving a completely different interpretation.

  • He discovered his initial debris had been "replaced."

And if you think this gets stranger. The general made a point of telling him that "Jesse" should never speak about this again!

Covering Up The Evidence:
