All this blow Elijah's this kind of a halo of Elijah's kind of beaming out
He wanted to tell me about a crash of some sort of craft that had occurred on his ranch
There were little people out there. There was one that was still alive and was walking around
They had no ear lobes. They had two ear canals, two very small orifices for the nose, a concave face
It certainly doesn't resemble any human remains that I've ever seen
Oh yes, it was a cover-up from the beginning
Roswell, New Mexico 1947, a military town and Air Force base, home to America's 509 bomb group
A tight-knit community of soldiers and civilians in the heartland of rural America
In the summer of 1947, the whole of America was gripped by a wave of sightings of flying saucers
In Roswell, there were many witnesses to a strange light in the sky
It was just going in a northly motion at a pretty rapidly speed but nothing like a falling star or a meteorite
It's a bright light that you couldn't look directly at it very long at a time
You had to look to the side of it, just like looking into a bright sun
William Woody is 61, a pig farmer who works for the local bus company in Roswell
He remembers to this day the light he saw in the sky on the night of the 4th of June 1947
I was 13 years alive and that was the first time I'd ever seen anything like that
We got in the old truck one morning and headed north out 285 just to see if we could locate it
Every exit or path off of the highway was blocked off with the military sentries
On the Foster Ranch, 120 kilometres northwest of Roswell, Mack Brazel, a farmhand, was out on the range
when he came across some strange material scattered across the ground
His sheep refused to go near it
Mystified, Brazel travelled 30 kilometres to show his nearest neighbour what he'd found
Loretta Proctor is 83 and still lives on the same ranch near Corona, north of Roswell
She remembers Brazel arriving on horseback with a collection of strange material
He showed us this piece that looked like plastic or wood of some kind and he said that there was some metallic looking stuff
that when you crushed it, it just straightened right back out, it wouldn't stay crushed
and there was some beams or something that he said had kind of pinkish purple printing on it
Well, we told him it was probably a UFO and he should report it
Brazel took her advice and travelled into Roswell town with the strange debris
He reported his find to the Sheriff of Chavez County
Sheriff George Wilcox immediately alerted the local airbase
Roswell Army Airfield was home to the 509, America's elite bomb group which had dropped the atomic bombs on Japan
The 509's air intelligence officer was Major Jesse Marcell
He was assigned to investigate the material that Brazel had brought in
Marcell drove out to the foster ranch to collect more of the debris
That night he brought it back to his house to show his wife and son
He came back real late one night, about 2 o'clock in the morning as I recall
Very excited because he woke myself and my mother up saying they found parts of a UFO or a flying saucer at that time
Dr Jesse Marcell Jr. is himself a pilot, colonel and state surgeon in Montana's Air Force Reserve
In 1947 he was only 12 years old but he vividly remembers the extraordinary nature of the material he saw that night in Roswell
As I recall the most unusual part of the debris that I saw was the eye beam fragments or what I recall as being eye beam
Because they were very light, very strong and they had some writing along the inside surface of this
And that was the thing that really set this apart from anything I'd ever seen before
Dan Dwyer and his colleagues in the Roswell Fire Brigade were also involved
The firemen were shown some remarkable material with curious properties
Dwyer's daughter Frankie was in the station at the time and remembers picking it up
When I would wad it up it was like I had nothing in my hand
I couldn't feel it touching my skin
It was real weird
Drop it on the table and it was just like water where it would spread out
Meanwhile, intelligence officer Major Marcell brought the material he'd recovered back to Roswell Army Airfield
Where surprisingly the commanding officer Colonel Butch Blanchard ordered his public information officer, 1st Lieutenant Walter Hout
To issue an astonishing statement to the press
I was instructed by Colonel Blanchard to put out a press release
Which in effect stated that we had in our possession a flying saucer
It was an announcement that stunned the world
The London Daily Telegraph reported that although no details were given of the craft
The Air Force claimed that it was a flimsy construction like a box kite
A small town in America had become the centre of the world's attention
There was a tremendous amount of excitement because
Here I am a little country editor in a small city in New Mexico
Talking to Paris and Rome and London and Tokyo
And I can't remember all of them, spent the whole afternoon on the phone
America was transfixed
Radio networks issued hourly bulletins
This is an actual bulletin of the time
The Army Air Forces has announced that a flying disk has been found and is now in the possession of the Army
Army officers say the missile found sometime last week has been inspected at Roswell, New Mexico
Major Marcel had flown samples of the material to Fort Worth, Texas
Headquarters of the 8th Air Force
Here the story would take a remarkable new turn

The Roswell incident had captured world headlines
But now a chain of strange events would start to shroud it even deeper in mystery
At Fort Worth Air Base, Commanding Officer General Roger Raimi called a press conference in his office
In front of photographers, he invited Major Marcel to display the material he'd brought from Roswell
The base duty weather officer was also ordered to attend to explain to the press precisely what Major Marcel was holding in his hands
The general called and said, get your ass over here to my office
We've got something here we want you to look at
And aye aye sir, and he says if you've got a car, fine, if you haven't, get one, get the first means of transportation and get over to my office
And when I saw that I said, is that your flying saucer? And they said yeah, and I said well hell no, that's a Raywin Target and balloon
And if it is, I said I'd eat it without salt or pepper, I know what that is
Are you sure? Yes, I'm sure, I know what that is
This is what I would like to show you
This is my father holding up what is very obviously parts of a radar target with balloon debris
In here you see both wood fragments, you have actually parts of the balloon envelope in of itself
And you have what looks like paperback metal foil
And to emphasise this, this is not what was seen on the floor of our kitchen that evening or that late early morning hours in 1947
This is totally different
The implication is that Major Marcell may have been ordered to take part in a cover up that involved switching the material from Roswell for a common weather balloon
General Raimi and the Air Force now discounted their earlier press announcements that they had found a flying saucer
The story was officially dead
But back in Roswell, those who had reported the original story found that the military were behaving somewhat strangely over what they now claimed was merely a weather balloon
Frank Joyce had been the first to announce the original news on local radio station KGFL just a few hours earlier
I got a phone call, well I got a number of phone calls, but the one that really got my attention was purportedly from the Pentagon
There was a young lady on the line saying, Colonel so and so, this is the Pentagon calling
And this was in a few minutes of it going out on the wire
And the voice on the line says, who is this, I tell him, he said, you put that story on the air about the flying saucers
And I mean his voice was the type that really conveys menace and power
And I said, yes I did, and he says, you're going to get in a lot of trouble for this or made some threatening comment
And I said, look, I'm a civilian, you can't talk to me this way, you can't treat me this way
You can't tell me what to do in stories I put on the air
And he says, I'll show you what I can do, and bang, hung up the phone
Frankie Rowe, the fireman's daughter who had handled some material that always regarded the Army Air Force in Roswell as friends of the town
But an unexpected visit from the military to her home would now cast them in a sinister new light
He had this club or stick or whatever it was and he was beating it on his hand
And he would hit it, every time he would say something he'd hit his hand
And he said, I want you to know you were never there
I didn't understand what he meant, because I said, yes I was
And he said, no you weren't, I said, yes I was
And he said, can't you get this through your head, you never saw anything, you were not there, you don't know anything
And he said, you know, this is a big desert out here
We can just take you out in the middle of this desert and no one will ever find your bodies
If it were not for the threats, the entire Roswell affair could be viewed as nothing more than an embarrassing mistake
But in 1965, Butch Blanchard, now a four-star general, attended a reunion dinner in Roswell and the incident had not been forgotten
He had been the commander here in 1947 and I was at a table with the general and several other locals
When they were interrogating him about the 1947 incident
And he declined to answer any of the questions except he did comment that it was the damnedest thing he'd ever seen
For 30 years, the Roswell incident remained a dark secret
Town and military maintained an uneasy silence
The story didn't see the light of day until 1978 when Jesse Marcel, the 509's intelligence officer, went public with an appearance on American television
I was amazed at what I saw, the amount of debris that was scattered over such an area
It took me a while to realize that there was something strange about it
But the more I saw the fragments, the more I realized that it wasn't anything that I was acquainted with
I proved by trying to burn it, it wouldn't burn
I tried to break it, it would not break
If it was something of ours, I'm sure there would be no reason to keep it under cover that long
I sensed that there was a cover up some place about this whole matter
In 1947, General Raimi's chief of staff was Colonel Thomas Dubose
Shortly before he died, he was interviewed on home video
As a retired brigadier general, he is the highest ranking officer ever to comment on the Roswell incident
It was a cover story, the balloon part of it
It is the story that's to be given to the press and that is it and anything else, forget it
General McMullen, deputy head of strategic air command at the Pentagon, was in charge of the entire operation
according to General Dubose
McMullen told me, you are not to discuss this and this is a point of which
this is more than top secret as he said, it's beyond that
It's within my priority as deputy to George Kenney and he in turn responsible for the project
This is the highest priority you can exist and you will say nothing
The revelations of Dubose suggest that the American Air Force did indeed have something important to hide
We have military witnesses saying they were sworn to secrecy
We have radio employees telling us that they were told if they broadcast their interview with Mac Brazel
they better look for a new job because they'd be out of the radio business the next day
We can show that beyond a shadow of a doubt, there's no question there was a cover up
The question is what were they hiding
In a moment, did one of the little men survive the crash?

One man who may hold the key to the Roswell mystery is Frank Kaufman
Kaufman claims that in 1947 he was a Master Sergeant in Personnel at Roswell Army Airfield
But what was not known at the time, he says, is that he was also a covert member of a highly secret counter intelligence unit codenamed the Nine
Now Kaufman reveals for the first time what he claims is the true story of the Roswell incident
The events that led up to the 1947 incident were rather peculiar because there was a lot of erratic movement on the radar screen
And this called our attention that maybe we better monitor those screens
They sent some of us to Alamogordo, to the White Sands, to view the blips on the screens
The blips were just dancing from one on the screen to the other and then all of a sudden there was kind of a flash
And it just disappeared
Well, that indicated that possibly maybe a plane or a missile or something just went down
Kaufman says he and his team immediately drove east from Alamogordo back to Roswell
Then on towards a location about 60 kilometres south of the Foster Ranch
And then this was late at night, they started to clip some of the wire fence and drove into the area
We saw this glow of light, just this kind of halo of light just kind of beaming out
We got to I guess maybe about maybe 200 yards, maybe 300 yards from where it was
And we learned right then that it wasn't a plane, it wasn't a missile, it was kind of a strange looking craft that was embedded in the arroia
The size of the craft I would say possibly maybe around 20-25 feet in length and it was open and kind of half way
And one body was thrown up against the wall of the arroia, the other one was half in and half out of the craft
And when we got in close we noticed that there were probably three others inside the craft
Then we radioed in back to the base to have a truck, a flatbed and a crane and everything else just come out to the site
And we prepared everything to clear everything off
Frank Kaufman has now provided what he claims is a copy of his official report on the Roswell incident
A top secret document containing observations and sketches of what he saw at the time
We saw panels of controls, we couldn't make them out, they were writings we didn't know what it, we couldn't decipher it or anything of that nature
And the underbelly of the craft had a series of cells, quartz type cells, glass looking cells, octagon shaped
This is the actual site where Kaufman says he saw the strange craft for the first time
This is an artist's impression of the aliens based on Kaufman's own descriptions
We noticed one thing that deterioration was beginning to set in on one of the bodies of the hands
We noticed the hands of skin trying to shrivel up and that's the reason why we put them in the bags real in a hurry and got them out to the base hospital
They called a mortuary here to find out if there was anything that they could preserve the bodies with
The base also inquired about the availability of child size coffins
Glenn Dennis had the ambulance contract to ferry any injured servicemen to the base
That same day he took an airman to the hospital there and was amazed to find himself being roughly escorted off the base by military police
Who told him he had no right to be there
As they were taking me out there was a door that was opened over to the left and there was a nurse coming out
It had a towel over a portion of her face and she looked up and she recognized me and she said,
Glenn get out of here, get out of here as fast as you can you're going to get in a lot of trouble, very hysterical
Then she told me what happened about going into this room
These doctors were there and there were some two hospital gurneys there with the crash bags
One crash bag was two very small mutilated bodies
The other one there was a very small body in a crash bag but it hadn't been mutilated as much as the others
And she told me the reason why they wouldn't let her out because they wanted her to write down what they were examining
And that's what she was doing and they all became very ill, they said that the smell and it was a very toxic smell
And they just couldn't breathe and get their breath and they had to get out
This is hangar 84 and this is where the craft and the bodies were actually brought into this hangar
But there was a lot of activity in this area here
Inside the hangar right above on top there was this large spotlight which was shining down on the craft
And also the bodies were laid out, there were five of them
And there was a cordon of military police around the area to keep people getting too close
There were other witnesses with strange reports of aliens
Fime and Dan Dwyer told his daughter Frankie what he had seen
He said it did not come from this world, did not look like anything he had ever seen
And he said there were little people out there
And mother asked him what he meant by little people and he said they weren't human people
But they were little people, he said there were two that were already dead when they got there
And they were put into body bags
And I don't know if the one that was still alive had put them into the bags or if someone assisted at the time
There was one that was still alive and was walking around
According to Frank Kaufman the debris and bodies were found in the hangar
According to Frank Kaufman the debris and bodies were flown to Air Force Intelligence Headquarters at Wright Field
And another consignment was sent to Andrews Air Force Base in Washington

The lack of tangible evidence has been a consistent feature of the Roswell incident
Then, early in 1995, sensational film
Allegedly shot by an American military cameraman appeared in London
Our cameraman says that the crash happened in June
He was sent down to White Sands on the 2nd of June 1947
And that they'd spent a week and a half clearing up the area
He also explains that when they first arrived at the site
The area had been cordoned off and that no one went anywhere near the vehicle
The ground surrounding the vehicle was hot
He said the creatures were all laying by the side holding onto these oblong boxes which they wouldn't let go
And after a few hours when the military moved in
The instruction was to move away all the loose debris and the creatures
Ray Santilli claims he negotiated for two years to buy the so-called autopsy film
He's the only person who knows the identity of the cameraman who shot it
According to Santilli, the poor quality is explained by the circumstances under which it was photographed
When he tells you that the camera had no zoom facility
When he tells you that he was wearing the same outfit as the surgeons
And, you know, when he says that these cameras had a fixed focus
And, you know, when they moved in there was no way of controlling the focus
And, you know, it was possibly, it was, he was steaming up inside the costumes
And he was trying to operate the camera to the best of his ability
You just have to accept it
The other question is, well, why isn't it a fixed camera?
Why isn't it a camera fixed above looking at the body?
But then his argument is that, well, surgeons were bending over it all the time
And the only way you can get to see these things is by moving around
And the camera that he detailed as using we checked at the museum
You know, it's a hand-held camera
Despite repeated requests, Ray Santilli has been unable to persuade the cameraman to talk publicly
So far, there is no real proof of his existence
The Air Force categorically denied the existence of spacecraft and aliens
But mounting pressure from the public and a determined US congressman forced the Pentagon to launch its own investigation
Then, a breakthrough
In July 1994, their official report admitted for the first time that the original weather balloon story was in fact a lie
Designed to cover up what had really crashed at Roswell
A balloon of a different kind
This is film of Project Mogul, a top secret project designed to detect sound waves from Soviet atomic tests
I suspect that our flight four on the 4th of June was probably the source of the debris that the Ranger found
It was not recovered and the record indicates that the B-17 abandoned tracking it while it was still airborne
And it's my memory that it was over what a town called Arabella, just north of Capitan and about 17 miles from where some debris was later found
Curiously, an examination of the actual flight logs of the time reveals that there is no record of the existence of flight number four on the 4th of June
Discrepences such as these have led many to doubt the Air Force's insistence that Project Mogul is in fact the answer to the Roswell mystery
On Capitol Hill, the representative for New Mexico, Congressman Stephen Schiff, is suspicious of the number of different explanations offered over the years
We've had three different explanations from the military about what crashed
The first explanation is it was a flying disk, meaning flying saucer in today's terminology
They changed that and said we made a mistake. It wasn't a flying disk, it was a weather balloon
I still find it amazing that the United States top bomber wing, the only wing that was eligible to carry nuclear weapons at that particular time
Would not know a weather balloon from a flying saucer, but apparently somebody didn't, according to them
So we then had the second explanation that this was a weather balloon, and we now have the third explanation that this was part of a highly classified radiation detection experiment
So we have three separate explanations as to what crashed, but no dispute that something crashed
If it wasn't a balloon, what did crash at Roswell? A flying saucer or something else?
And how does the controversial alien film relate to the Roswell mystery?
Coming up, another military cover-up theory and more pictures of the mystery wreckage
It's about four years ago Frank started teaching music part-time
Oh he loves it, and it's nice to have some extra money around, so we decided to invest it

New Mexico is the most secret state in the United States
Its deserts and skies have been the center for more highly classified and secret scientific projects than any other place on Earth
One avenue of suspicion is that some strange top secret military experiment could lie behind the Roswell mystery
Fifty years ago, the first atomic bomb was detonated in the Trinity Test near White Sands
This year, stealth warplanes are still on test flights in skies above New Mexico
At almost half a century earlier, their predecessor, the Flying Wing, was also seen in these skies
In 1947, White Sands was the location where America developed its early missile technology with V-2 rockets captured from the Nazis
Nazi scientists had been secretly relocated at the end of the war to develop the first stage of America's space program
Werner von Braun, the inventor of the V-2, was in charge of the operation
It's no secret that animal experiments were part of the American space program in the 1950s, but could there have been any as early as 1947?
One series, which was known as Project Albert, which launched a chimpanzee or a monkey, a small monkey in one of the nose cones
Needless to say, the monkey didn't survive due to some technical difficulties with the nose cone reentering into the Earth's atmosphere
When was that?
That was probably around the late 40s and the early 50s, and this was even before the famous ham, the space chimpanzee, which was trained over at the Alamogordo Air Force Base
Could it have been as early as 1947?
Probably around 1947. I know that Project Albert began with, I believe, V-2 number 47
Investigations have revealed that animal experiments may have been conducted much earlier than was previously thought
If so, then could the Roswell incident have been some highly secret experiment that went catastrophically wrong?
Is it possible that a V-2 rocket with animals on board could have gone astray and may account for the descriptions of bodies and strange debris offered by so many witnesses at Roswell?
Could the metal with the curious properties at the Foster Ranch have come from a crashed V-2?
We have researched our records extensively and on that specific date and time, and even that month, we had nothing that could conceivably be within that area
We had been launching some balloons, but nothing in that particular month when the crash at Roswell occurred
And all of our rockets that we did launch could be accounted for during that time period
And there was nothing that White Sands had available at that time that could reach that far over to Roswell
As far as White Sands is concerned, we're pretty clean on this incident
If the military authorities are to be believed, the records rule out the possibility of a crashed V-2
But after all, the military admitted lying before to cover up something more secret
It is this possibility which leads many to believe that the cover-up continues
And according to Ray Santilli, the cameraman of the alleged alien autopsy seems to offer a tantalising clue
They're not alien creatures as far as he's concerned
He just calls the creatures freaks all the time
He says they've got no reason to be here and he says he doesn't know what they are
Our cameraman's a very religious guy, he just refuses to believe
And he was there at the time, he saw everything that happened, but he refuses to believe that these are extraterrestrials
He just says that, you know, it's just some goddamn experiment and that's it
He just calls them freaks
You have to remember, this is the cameraman that was there at White Sands, at the Trinity experiments as well
It appears that lots of weird and wonderful things happened at that time
As well as the autopsy, there is footage of strange debris allegedly recovered at the site of a crashed space vehicle
Whatever this Santilli film represents, there is no question it demands serious investigation
These cryptic symbols bear some resemblance to actual letters
V-I-D-E-O, video
Despite doubts about its authenticity, the film has been shown to some of the witnesses originally interviewed about the Roswell incident
The symbols are vaguely consistent with my memory
Since I can't be actually sure though, but they certainly could be consistent with what I saw
The differences would be the size and the fact that the ones I saw were not raised above the level of the beam
I'm trying to count the fingers in there, that's six
I don't recall six fingers though
I don't know, I won't swear to it John, I don't recall those six fingers though
To be honest with you, it doesn't look too close to the Roswell incident, I can say that much
Still to come, the experts examine the footage of the alien autopsy

After all the speculation about the so called alien autopsy footage, what do the experts think?
Dr Ian West is one of Britain's leading forensic pathologists
He is frequently called upon by Scotland Yard in murder investigations
The blood is, its pattern is unusual, you don't normally get, you know that incision has been open for some time now
We've got four little trails running from it
Although we have a number of quite distinct linear trails, dark trails which look like blood trails
They're not of the nature that I would expect to see at a post-mortem, I would see some more smearing, some more irregularity in the blood loss from the margins of the incision
8.00 Thursday, the getaway guide to exotic Istanbul
One has seen one distinctive organ removed from the upper central abdominal region
It's of the size of a liver but it's not of the liver shape and it's not in the liver position
I've seen no intestines that I can distinguish
I can't distinguish that the thoracic organ certainly doesn't resemble what one can see here, any human remains that I've ever seen
There's just no evidence to say this is definitely a, nothing on the film which makes me say this is definitely a hoax
My feeling is that, probably about 98% feeling is that this is probably a man-made hoax
I have, as I say, a 2% area where I don't know
In my opinion I think it's a special effect, it's man-made, it's a good special effect
It's not going to be a cheap item, it's going to be a few hundred thousand dollars probably
It's difficult to say when something like that could have been made
Certainly in the 60s they were doing things at Hammer which were very similar
I guess it was not before the 60s, sort of mid-60s I would think was the earliest it could be
I don't think anyone can be certain that it's a special effect, I mean it's, how do I know what the inside of aliens look like, no one knows
I know what the inside of foam rubber and polyurethane foam looks like and it looks very similar
Many people who are deeply suspicious about the film think that you could be behind the hoax yourself, what have you got to say to that?
I'll still go back to what I said before, if someone, even if it was our company, wanted to hoax a piece of footage
Why not do the job properly, why not create something that really looks like an alien creature
Why come up with something where you've got these unnecessary hurdles of saying is it human or is it not human
And in answer to your question, we didn't hoax it
Are you sure? Absolutely sure, 100% sure, I think, you know
As of this moment, there's no conclusive evidence to prove that the film is either genuine or a hoax
Proving one or the other is a critical factor in resolving the Roswell mystery
One vital step would be to have the film chemically analysed by a photographic laboratory
Are you going to provide a proper film extract which can be properly tested by Kodak which has proper images on it
I'll provide you with a film, I'll provide you with what I can, which will be a film with image
And the only way that I can do that is by securing some film from the collector that bought the first autopsy which is currently en route to us
So far, no suitable film extract has been provided for laboratory testing to determine the year of exposure and processing
In Washington, the search for tangible evidence of what happened at Roswell has continued on a different front
The issue is providing to the public whatever records may still exist, if any, and there may not be any, but if any on the Roswell incident
So people can make their own determination
That is the mission that I discussed with the General Accounting Office
The US General Accounting Office is a powerful body which oversees government operations
They've been investigating government agencies to establish if there are any official records of the Roswell incident
In July this year, the GAO reported that the Air Force had destroyed their records relating to Roswell
For conspiracy theorists, it sounds all too convenient
But one man who would know if Roswell ever figured in secret files is Frederick Durant
In 1952, he investigated the whole question of flying sources for the CIA
If there hadn't happened in 47, we would have known about it in 52 or 53 when I was involved
And I truly believe that if we had the best information available in the intelligence community
Including the White House and the National Security Council
And the investigation would certainly have...
In fact, it was not even considered in the Blue Book because it was meteorological balloon wreckage
But you are absolutely convinced that what you have told us, what you saw, and that is 100% accurate?
I am absolutely 100, 1000%
It's the truth
The whole truth and nothing but the truth?
That's right
As Ripley would say, believe it or not
For nearly 50 years, the Roswell incident has defied all attempts at rational explanation
In the world of UFO mysteries, it has become the most celebrated of them all
In the absence of any physical evidence, it all comes down to a question of faith
This investigation has encountered a wilderness of fact and fantasy
Where credible witnesses relate incredible tales with apparent sincerity
And incredible characters make outlandish claims that cast grave doubts on their own rationality
But could so many ordinary people from the rural heartland of America believe that the Roswell incident is real?
But could so many ordinary people from the rural heartland of America be lying
Or afflicted by a false memory syndrome that leads to such similar accounts of the same story?
I know it happened
I know it was real, the threats were real
I think that they're covered up some and I think they should tell the truth to the public now
Today, the Roswell incident still remains shrouded in mystery
The Air Force insists that there are simply no secrets to conceal
Yet in a final twist, a source close to the Pentagon says that secret documents have now come to light
And that in the next few months, a new report will explain the mysterious accounts of strange bodies
It is just possible that the riddle of the Roswell incident may yet turn out to be a cosmic watergate
General Ramey describes the object as being of flimsy construction, almost like a box type
He says that it was so battered that he was unable to determine whether it had a disk form
And he does not indicate it's such
Ramey says that so far it can be determined no one saw the object in the air
And he describes it as being made of some sort of tin form
Other Army officials may just further explain the indications of the object as being made of tin form
