Загадка Розуэлла
Шрифт:
We were taken to the hangar to load crates. There was a lot of farm dirt on the hangar floor. We loaded it on flatbeds and dollies; each crate had to be checked as to width and height: We had to know which crates went on to which plane. We loaded crates on to three or four C-54s. It took the better part of the day to load the planes. One crate took up the entire plane; it wasn't that heavy, but it was a large volume.
This would have involved [Oliver W.] "Pappy" Нenderson's crew. I remember seeing Tech Sgt. Нarbell Ellzey and Sgt. T/Sgt. Edward Bretherton and S/Sgt. William Fortner; Eiezey was on "Pappy's" crew.
We weren't supposed to know the destination, but we were told they were headed north. Wright Field at that time was closed down for modernization; therefore, I would deduce that the next safest place was Los Alamos, the most secret Base available and still under the Manhattan Project. There were armed guards present during the loading of the planes which was unusual. There was no way to get to the ramp except through armed guards. There were MPs on the outer skirts, and our personnel were between them and the planes.
There were a lot of people in plainclothes all over the place; they were "inspectors," but they were strangers on the base. When challenged, they replied that they were here on project so-and-so and flashed a card, which was different than a military ID card.
A lot of the people involved in the event believe that they should go to their deathbeds without telling anything about it. We were told: This is a hot shipment; keep quiet about it." I'm convinced that what we loaded was a UFO that got into mechanical problems. Even with the most intelligent people, things go wrong.

Ричард Нолан полагает, что в данном случае сенатор Чэйвиз четко выполнил чью-то настоятельную просьбу, не будучи сам в курсе дела. (R.D.Nolane, Extraterrestres. La veritesur Roswell. PleinSud, 1995, p. 157.) Но ведь ясно, чья просьба, если седьмого утром Трумэн встретился с сенатором Д.Чэйвизом после звонка Туайнинга.

Свидетельские показания Роберта Слашера, 23 мая 1993 года. Robert A. Slusher. (Affidavit, 23.5.1993): "I was stationed at the Roswell Army Air Field from 1946 to 1952. On July 9. 1947, I boarded a B-29 which taxied to the bomb area on the base to get a crate, which we loaded into the forward bomb bay. Four armed MPs guarded the crate, which was approximately four feet high, five feet wide, and 12 feet long. We departed Roswell at approximately 4:00 PM for Fort Worth [later Carswell AFB]. Maj. Edgar Skelley was the flight operations officer.
The flight to Ft. Worth was at a low level, about 45,000 feet. Usually we flew at 25,000 feet, and the cabin is pressurized. We had to fly at a low level because of the MPs in he bomb bay.
On arrival at Fort Worth, we were met by six people, including three MPs. They took possession of the crate. The crate was loaded on to a flatbed weapons carrier and hauled off.
Their MPs accompanied the crate. One officer present was a major, the other a 1st lieutenant. The sixth person was an undertaker who had been a classmate of a crewman on our flight, Lt. Felix Martucci. Major Marcel came up to our plane in a jeep and got on board. We were at Ft. Worth about 30 minutes before returning to Roswell.
