The Roswell Corner

Not even the president of the United States could get into the place

This was a quote given in the media by an official, who was describing the crash site of a B-29 on April 11, 1950. The B-29 had an atomic weapon on board but the nuclear capsule was not installed for safety purposes. However, the casing of the bomb was damaged
and the high explosives in it detonated from the fire/crash. As one might expect, there was much concern for security and the recovery of the nuclear materials (including the spare detonators on board the plane). A road block was erected preventing any access
to the crash site. Interestingly, the plane was attached to the 509th bomb group out of Roswell.
There are some similarities between this and the descriptions of the Roswell incident. The blocking off of roads and high security in the recovery operation are comparable. Could it be possible that some of the individuals, who describe the Roswell event are confusing it with this one? It seems plausible that, decades later, some might recall being transported a long distance to some unfamiliar
location to help recover bodies/pick up debris under tight security as being part of an alien spaceship recovery operation.
A bigger point here is that, despite the secrecy involved, the media was fully aware of the event and the military’s effort to recover the debris. Compare this to the Roswell event, where dozens of vehicles would be required to go through the town of Roswell for several days to get personnel to/from the crash site and retrieve the debris. While the actual crash of the alien spaceship could go unwitnessed, the military’s sudden mass movement through town up Route 285 could not go unnoticed by the local media and populace. Strangely, not one word is uttered in the press about some sort of major military operation north of Roswell, which included security road blocks visible from the highway. The local press in Roswell, and elsewhere, appeared oblivious to all of it. It wasn’t until Mack Brazel came into town did it suddenly become newsworthy. This appears to have been the case with Jesse Marcel Sr. as well. He mentioned no such recovery operations in any interviews and only became aware of a possible crash when he got that infamous phone call from town. It seems highly unlikely that such activity would have gone unnoticed and unreported in 1947.
Bragalia and more JARS
Anthony Bragalia wrote another one of those pieces that describe “Just another Roswell story (JARS)”. This involved some photo lab technician (PFC Calvin Cox) who was ordered to guard the hanger. He was directed to “shoot to kill” anybody who went inside the hanger. I wonder if he took those orders seriously since he decided to ignore those orders and looked inside anyway. Of course, he saw all sorts of debris. I really don’t find the story very credible since none of it can be verified in any way other than the individual was a PFC at the photo lab. Did they really need to go to the photo lab to find guards for the debris? I guess the next step would be to get the cooks involved.
BTW, in all of these interviews that are being done, I wonder if each and every interview is documented. How many are telling JARS and how many tell the story that they saw or knew nothing? A breakdown of ranks might also be interesting to see. I am also waiting
for one of the people interviewed to openly admit they were part of the goon squad that threatened people. Of course, nobody wants to say they were the bad guy. Instead, they all want to be the “good guys”. It is amazing that the a secret that was kept for at least thirty years was obvious to anybody who happened to be on base.
Inaccurate news reports
I was struck by the stories that were circulated in the first few hours after the Boston Marathon explosions and their comparison to what really happened. While the major facts of the story were accurate, all sorts of details were reported within the first 24 hours that were not accurate as various news reporters/agencies wanted to be the first to report this or that. Compare this to Roswell, where details contradicted each other and it was not until the press conference in Fort Worth, did the facts become clear. Of course, conspiracy theorists/crashologists think otherwise. It seems more probable that these contradictory reports had more to do with various news agencies getting the wrong information on a developing story than being evidence of a cover-up.
