The following is a secret document from the FBI (FireBeam Investigation), and you need the highest security clearance in the world to proceed -- or you just need to be a curious citizen of Whyville!

This is a volume of my research on mysteries of the unknown. I will send them to the Times Editor in this order of appearance, and hope he publishes them as such:

    The UFO Crash at Roswell (this article)
    The Plains of Nazca (next article)
    The Mary Celeste (the one after that)
    The Bermuda Triangle (so on)
    The Loch Ness Monster (and so forth)
    Bigfoot (Bill will like this one!)

Now, on with my investigation, or whatever you want to call it. ;)

Have you ever heard of the UFO crash at Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947? It was the most famous alien crash in history. I've done excessive research on it, and now I am able to bring you this long article... yes, it's long, but I think you'll like it!

A little after 11:00 p.m. on July 4, 1947, radar devices at three New Mexico locations spotted a blip that flared up repeatedly, growing brighter then dimmer. It soon disappeared. The radar operators assumed the blip must have crashed.

The next day, the people who saw the blip on the radar decided to start an organizing team, consisting of military police and recovery equipment. Meanwhile, the same time the radars flared up, a guy named Jim Ragsdale and his friend were camping about 40 miles north of Roswell. All of a sudden, they saw a flash and heard a loud roar overhead. Seconds later, what they say was a UFO crashed about a mile away from their camp.

The next morning, Ragsdale and his friend went to the site. They saw a disk-like object jammed into the side of a cliff. When they got a closer look, they were shocked to see two bodies lying outside the wreckage. But when the two campers saw the military arrive, they fled.

After the wreckage was recovered (and I mean they scoured the area for every little shard of the wreck), a man named Glenn Dennis, who worked for the Ballard Funeral Home in Roswell, received a couple phone calls from the base where the ship and bodies were kept.

In the first call, an officer asked Dennis about preservation of bodies that were exposed to the elements of a desert. The next caller asked Dennis if they carried any sealed caskets (coffins) at the funeral home. Dennis assumed there was a plane crash or something, so he asked if he could help, but the officer said it was "Just in case anything happened."

Sounds suspicious, no? That's what Dennis thought, so he went to the base hospital with an officer who crashed in a motorcycle accident. Dennis parked his car next to an ambulance, and the doors were open! Well, what would you have done?

Peeking inside, Dennis saw something he would never forget. Pieces of the wreckage that looked like stainless steel, but kind of purplish in color. They were about three feet long, and had some kind of writing on it that looked a lot like Egyptian hieroglyphics. That was all he saw before an officer came up to him.

After the injured officer was taken care of, Dennis bumped into one of his nurse friends. She was in a state of shock. She told Dennis that she just came out of an examining room with two other doctors doing a preliminary autopsy on three strange bodies and two were badly mangled. All three had signs of exposure in the desert and the ravages of wild animals (yuck!). She also told Dennis that they gave off a powerful stench, and that it made her and the other doctors ill.

She drew a diagram of the bodies showing hands that had only four fingers, and each were tipped with what looked like suction cups. According to what the nurse told Dennis, the bodies were 3?? feet to 4 feet tall, had grayish skin, and wore silver clothing. Also, they had large heads that seemed too big for their bodies, deeply set eyes, two small holes for a nose, and a fine slit for a mouth. Their ears were only small holes with flaps of skin.

That was the last Dennis saw of the nurse -- later she was transferred to London, later on she died in a plane crash.

To cover the story about the crash, the (real) FBI put pieces of weather balloon there and make a cover story of a weather balloon crash. But more than 40 years later, a retired brigadier general named Thomas DuBose, chief of staff in the recovery, revealed, "The weather balloon explanation was a cover story" intended to distract the press from going after the truth about the UFO crash.

As much as we research this, there is still no real hard evidence that we can use to prove that there was in fact a UFO crash in Roswell. Still, I like to believe there was. :D

Please stay tuned for my other stories.

Watching the skies,
