A BIZARRE memo about the Roswell UFO crash could unlock secrets and expose the truth about the “flying saucer”; mystery.
A prominent ufologist made the startling claim after aliens were rumored as being spotted dead among the wreckage.
The so-called Incident happened on July 2, 1947, in a remote desert area in New Mexico.
Conspiracy theories and mystery swirling the alleged crash have fascinated UFO watchers for nearly 80 years.
Back in 1947, the 509th Bomb Group – based in Roswell – released a press release claiming a UFO had crashed in the area, and the United States Army Air Forces were in possession of a “flying disk.”;
However, confusion ensued after that release was later retracted, and replaced with a statement saying the object was in fact a high altitude weather balloon.
The news alert had initially been issued by 1st Lt. , the public information officer at the base.
Decades later, his daughter, Julie Shuster, was adamant that his original “flying disk”; statement had been accurate.
But he had to keep everything “secret.”;
A similar view has been expressed by veteran researcher , a prominent ufologist who is regarded as one of the top experts on the reported crash.
Randle has written multiple books about UFOs and the story.
He’s adamant that he has “eliminated all possible terrestrial explanations.”;
“What we can say with authority is that something fell at Roswell,”; he said.
“We have eliminated all the terrestrial explanations.”;
The expert, who served in the Air Force and National Guard, said the UFO case could be solved by delving into a historic memo.
The eerie memo can be seen in a black and white photograph sent out on the news wires at the time.
The grainy note appears to say the words “victims of the crash.”;
The memo itself can be seen in the old pic being held by Brigadier General Roger Ramey, who at the time of the crash was commanding officer of the 8th Air Force in Roswell.
Ramey is holding the piece of paper slightly turned away from the camera. But, fortunately, some words can now be read using technology.
KEY MEMO
“The Ramey memo could be the key to this whole thing,”; Randle said.
“Ramey was holding the memo in his hand when he was photographed with the debris in his office.
“And what’s interesting is we know when the picture was transmitted over the wire, we know who took it and we can see Ramey is holding the document in his hand.
“So we pretty much have the provenance nailed down.
“There are words in the document when you blow it up, that you can read.
“Some people interpret the critical line as saying ‘victims of the wreck.’
“Well, ‘victims of the wreck’ takes it out of the realm of a weather balloon – but it’s kind of an interpretation of what you see.”;
Randle has interviewed some 600 people over the past few decades in his search to establish the truth around the case.
POLITICAL HOAX
He has concluded that the weather balloon story is nothing but a “government hoax”; to fob off those intrigued by UFO sightings.
Randle said, “What they’ve said officially is that the Roswell crash was a weather balloon and [radar-type] target from this experiment being conducted in New Mexico.
“What I discovered is that while [the radar-type] targets were a part of the experiments conducted on the east coast, when they got to New Mexico, they didn’t use those targets.
“That kind of points the finger at this being a government hoax to explain away the Roswell case.”;
KEPT SECRET
Julie Shuster, Walter Haut’s daughter, told SBS News, a broadcaster based in Australia, that she had many conversations with the former Army PR man about the “flying disk”; he wrote about in 1947.
She said before her death in 2015, “People began to talk about Roswell in the late ’70s after several decades of keeping quiet.
“I would ask dad to tell me the whole story, and he told me the same thing he told everybody: ‘I put out the press release’, and nothing else.”;
It was not from this Earth, it was something manufactured off this Earth.

It later emerged that Haut had been sworn to secrecy by base commander and close personal friend, Colonel William Blanchard.
But, Haut was unhappy about keeping such a big secret, and prepared a signed affidavit to be opened after his death.
Originally from Chicago, Illinois, he died in Roswell in 2005.
“Basically dad said yes, he did see the bodies, yes he did see the craft and much more than that,”; said Shuster.
“At one point I asked him about the size, and he said the craft was about 25 feet in diameter.”;
EGG-SHAPED
Thomas Carey, who co-authored a book with Shuster, Witness to Roswell: Unmasking the Government’s Biggest Cover-Up, published in 2007, said his big secret “all came out in his sealed statement after he died.”;
Carey added, “The ship which he described was about the size of a Volkswagen Beetle, more of an egg-shaped object, and he did see a number of bodies.
“He described them as being the size of children.
“And when asked point blank if what he believed it was that he had seen, without hesitation he’d say, ‘It was not from this Earth, it was something manufactured off this Earth.’”;
A claimed that he saw the remains of dead aliens being lifted with a crane and hauled away.
Former Deputy Sheriff Charles H Forgus of Howard County,Texas, recalled traveling toRoswellto pick up a prisoner with Sheriff Jess Slaughter.
Forgus claimed he saw four alien bodies with big eyes and brownish-colored skin being taken away by military personnel.
