10 Outrageous Claims By UFO Whistleblowers
2. One Man Told The Truth About Roswell
If Bob Lazar had really helped work on extra-terrestrial spacecrafts then one of them might have been viewed by Major Jesse Marcel Sr.
Marcel was an officer in the United States Air Force who received training to be a Combat Photo Interpreter/ Intelligence Officer. While WWII was coming to an end he was positioned at a base in Roswell, New Mexico for training in Airborne Terrain Mapping Radar systems.
Still in Roswell in 1947, Marcel was involved in the cleanup of a strange flying object that had crashed on a nearby ranch. The incident caused a stir in local papers but was infamously dismissed as a weather balloon.
It wouldn't be until the 1970s that Marcel would go public with the help of author Stanton T. Friedman. An eyewitness to the incident, Marcel affirmed that the debris recovered was absolutely not a weather balloon but a flying craft of unknown origins.
The Roswell incident is possibly the most famous UFO story that the modern world has known. If it wasn't for the claims made by Major Jesse Marcel, Sr., the occurrence may have remained merely a forgotten local news piece.
