Marcel's Last Words on Roswell Crash
By Robert Scott Martin
Staff Writer
According to a previously unknown 1981 interview, Jesse Marcel, the Roswell Air Force Base intelligence officer who transformed UFO history when he recovered pieces of an unidentified object in the desert, maintained to the end of his life that the object was no weather balloon.
The infamous photograph of Brigadier General Roger Ramey displaying the wreckage was unquestionably a fake, he said, staged later "strictly for the press."

Marcel wasnt referring to the debris in the photo in 1978 & 1979 interviews?. are you serious? its shows the lengths roswelian belivers will goto to distort the truth to keep their alien spaceship theory intact.
As for Easley i presume your talking about UFO author Kevins Randles claims that Easly told him ET info. Shame Easley was dead and couldn't confirm it. Funny that....still no Alien witnesses , sorry
Most of what Randle/Schmitt have on Easley is weak and there are no true facts. Since Randle has no record of the interviews (other than the one audiotape which states Easley was sworn to secrecy - not uncommon for a Provost Marshall at a nuclear bomber base), the whole Easley story can be considered rumor, innuendo, and fabrication of facts from bits and pieces of information that may or may not have occurred in early July 1947. Randle’s statements about the "deathbed confession" are contemptible. Randle/Schmitt seem more interested in their agenda than in being concerned for Easley's well being or quote him fairly. In my opinion, Randle/Schmitt shamefully used Easley. While Easley was alive, Randle/Schmitt referred to him as an unnamed person and did not attribute much to him. After his death, they attribute all forms of statements made by him in The Truth About the UFO crash at Roswell and all the other books. One must question the integrity of these individuals when one views this process of "story telling".

Marcel couldnt even remember the year the roswell incident took place. Doesnt add much credibility to his recollections. [/qluote]
Forgetting dates is nothing new, but we do have the original press release.
Easley was dead when randle made these claims. The same kevin randle who has brought us numerous false testimony from the likes of Kaufmann.
Major Easley was quite alive when he was inteviewed by Kevin Randle just before his death.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interviews
The testimony of Edwin Easley, himself a retired colonel who told me the craft was extraterrestrial.
The testimony of Patrick Saunders, himself a retired colonel who wrote on the flyleaf to The Truth about the UFO Crash at Roswell that "Here's the truth and I still haven't told anybody anything!" which he then signed.
And the testimony of Arthur Exon, himself a retired brigadier general, who talked of two distinct sites, and who talked of the people at Wright-Patterson who had examined the debris and bodies of the alien creatures.
Kevin Randle

The Roswell case seems more and more like the latter. The years go by and nobody new steps forward. No more of the possible tens of thousands of documents pop up. It all seems more and more like the stupid mistake that just got out of hand.

The mistake was on the part of the military that began when it initiated the Roswell cover-up. Now, it has been shown that all of the military's cover stories for its initial press release, are false.

The military has been known to make mistakes, and the flying disc press release was a doozy. But in no way does that mistake increase the chance that the "cover-up" involved a flying disc and aliens.

it was never tape recorded though was it? and the information supposedly acquired not released until Easley died. I dont find Randle credible enough to believe his story.
I find Kevin Randle credible on his Roswell investigations

Marcel did maintain it was ET debris but he was wrong.

well im afraid your in the minority, even most ufologists think hes not credible.
Stanton friedman sights 38 false claims by Randle. Point 22 in the link deals with Easley...
& #25 with Exon. www.roswellfiles.com...

He never claimed knowledge of alien bodies or another crash site. That was added by other people.
Contrary to the myth peddled by roswelians marcel never had any experience first hand with balloons or radar reflectors of any kind. He was no expert on the material retreived.

tezzajw, marcel stated himself the photograph taken in rameys office was some of the material retrived. Why dont you belive him about that?

That's the rub. People need to think about this a little like a detective.
How many people both at the time and over the years would have access to the Roswell stuff, if it really was an alien spacecraft and there were aliens around? Hundreds? Thousands?

Dear Mr.Arnon:
The subject of UFOs is one that has interested me for some time. About ten or twelve years ago I made an effort to find out what was in the building at Wright Patterson Air Force Base where the information is stored that has been collected by the Air Force, and I was understandably denied this request.
It is still classified above Top Secret. I have, however, heard that there is a plan under way to release some, if not all, of this material in the near future. I'm just as anxious to see this material as you are, and I hope we will not have to wait too much longer.
Sincerely.
Barry Goldwater
With all this stuff happening, somebody's writing reports and sending letters and telegrams and taking dictation and making copies. Memos and reports and shipping invoices and bills and equipment requisition records and personnel orders and transfer papers and thousands of other things. Just how much paperwork do you think might be generated by the crash of an alien saucer? How about a mountain of paperwork? And essentially none of that can be found?
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) -- Key military documents on the so-called Roswell Incident, cited by UFO buffs as an alien crash, were apparently destroyed without authorization decades ago, a congressman said Saturday.
Rep. Steve Schiff of New Mexico said a General Accounting Office report shed no new light on the 1947 crash and showed that important documents are missing. Documents that should have provided more information were destroyed,'' Schiff said. ``The military cannot explain who destroyed them or why.''
Schiff said the GAO estimates the information was destroyed more than 40 years ago.
The Roswell case seems more and more like the latter. The years go by and nobody new steps forward. No more of the possible tens of thousands of documents pop up. It all seems more and more like the stupid mistake that just got out of hand.
HOW SCIENTISTS TRACKED A FLYING SAUCER
by
Commander Robert B. McLaughlin, USN
In its January issue TRUE said that the flying saucers are real and interplanetary. Its story was widely supported by the nation's press and radio. TRUE's findings are here confirmed by Commander McLaughlin, a rocket expert at White Sands Proving Ground, who worked independently of this magazine's investigation.
He reveals how a troup of Navy men and scientists tracked a flying disk with a precision instrument and tells of flights he and others witnessed.
