Wasn't there a reporter who did an AMA here earlier this year who said he met the guy who wrote it before he died? Said he got him to admit he made it all up.

I see that the videos were taken down by youtube.
They don't want the public seeing them.

The problem I see with the Roswell story is something was found and retrieved by the military. The other facts were added later by folks wanting to make the story more mysterious or sell fake news. The debris found was consistent with a top secret instrument package to monitor Russian nuclear tests, which was suspended by a balloon.
The US Government perpetuated the initial story making the information vague to abscond the fact that its was confidential. They then made additional statements about it being a weather balloon because the media was getting involved.
Brazel found parts of the mounting hardware consisting of balsa sticks and pieces of the Mylar. He said it looked strange because Mylar was not a consumer product at that time. The instrument package was recovered in a different area.
It is apparent that the equipment loss was known by the military but not immediately known by the investigating officers, i.e. Jesse Marcel. The military was on the scene very rapidly after the incident.
I believe the story told by the nurse or author of the transcripts was a complete fabrication to publicly convey new age views and to attain notoriety.
