U.S. Generals Speak About Roswell

…I am almost completely convinced that the object that crashed near Roswell was composed of materials not common on Earth.

Maj. Gen. Kenner F. Hertford, U.S. Army [Ret.]

They knew they had something new in their hands. The metal and material was unknown to anyone I talked to. A couple of guys thought it might be Russian, but the overall consensus was that the pieces were from space.

Brig. Gen. Arthur E. Exon, U.S. Air Force [Ret.] Former Base Commander, Wright-Patterson AFB

It was a cover story – the balloon part of it. That part of it was, in fact, the story we were told to give to the public and the press, and that was it. The actual remnants …whatever happened to them, I have no knowledge.

Brig. Gen. Thomas J. DuBose, U.S. Air Force [Ret.] Former Chief of Staff to Gen. Roger Ramey in 1947

It was the biggest lie they [the Air Force] ever made me tell …It [the Roswell crash wreckage] was out of this world!

Brig. Gen. Roger M. Ramey, U.S. Air Force [Ret.] Commanding Officer, 8th Air Force, Ft. Worth, TX in 1947 and the architect of the Roswell cover-up

It was the strangest thing I ever saw.

Gen. William H. Blanchard, Vice Chief of Staff,U.S. Air Force [Ret.], Commanding Officer, 509th Bomb Group Roswell Army Air Field, 1947

At first they thought it was Russian. Then they realized it wasn’t.

Brig. Gen. Woodrow Swancutt, U.S. Air Force [Ret.] Pilot, 509th Bomb Group, Roswell Army Air Field, 1947

Roswell has long been a point of great interest to me … When I asked Gen. Curtis LeMay for permission to see it [the Roswell material at Wright-Patterson AFB], he told me, ‘Not only no, but hell, no! And if you ask again, I’ll have you court martialed!’”

U.S. Senator Barry M. Goldwater, Maj. Gen. U.S.A.F. [Ret.]

When I went to work for the C.I.A., one of the first things I did was to look for the Roswell file, but it was missing.

Maj. Gen. Harry N. Cordes, U.S. Air Force [Ret.] Pilot, 509th Bomb Group, Roswell Army Air Field, 1947 U-2 Pilot who trained Francis Gary Powers

I have been informed by higher officers at the Pentagon that there still exists an ABOVE TOP SECRET, UFO project. That’s where your Roswell file is.

Brig. Gen. Richard Mitchell, U.S. Army [Ret.]
