More fuel to the fire. Should be interesting.

Lieutenant Walter Haut was the public relations officer at the base in 1947 and was the man who issued the original and subsequent press releases after the crash on the orders of the base commander, Colonel William Blanchard.

Haut died last year but left a sworn affidavit to be opened only after his death.

Last week, the text was released and asserts that the weather balloon claim was a cover story and that the real object had been recovered by the military and stored in a hangar.

He described seeing not just the craft, but alien bodies.

He wasn't the first Roswell witness to talk about alien bodies.

Local undertaker Glenn Dennis had long claimed that he was contacted by authorities at Roswell shortly after the crash and asked to provide a number of child-sized coffins.

When he arrived at the base, he was apparently told by a nurse (who later disappeared) that a UFO had crashed and that small humanoid extraterrestrials had been recovered.

But Haut is the only one of the original participants to claim to have seen alien bodies.

Yeah, if you really want to cover up such a thing, you'd go to the local undertaker and order coffins, that should do it :rolleyes:
 
The "theory" has been revived? As far I knew it hadn't died yet. :rolleyes:

Well, given more credibility in some peoples eyes. considering the source was the same person who first announced it and then denied it.
 
I think this is an interesting development to the Roswell story. I don't buy it. The undertaker part just seems ridiculous. Why would they need coffins? Wouldn't they be studying the anatomy of these alien beings rather than putting them to rest?
 
Sounds like this guy either wanted to secure his place in UFO history or he has a wicked sense of humor... or both.

"Child-sized coffins" !?!

Like,

...the myth that children have been victims of widespread ritual and Satanic abuse.

Daily Telegraph article

How do they know it was ordered for aliens? Could it be a Satanic plot?

Even if there were coffins ordered, why would it be linked to UFOs and/or Satanism...? Why would a nurse pass that type of information to a local civilian?

More than likely, Walter Haut wanted to cement his place in UFO lore. There are some interesting points about his new story. You see he signed a new affidavit just before he passed on. Of course, in his original affidavit ten years before this, the story was different. UFOlogists will suggest he could not tell the truth back then even though all these stories were out there long before he decided to tell the new version of events.

In 1947, Haut was supposedly rebuked by Washington DC for issuing the press release about finding a crashed disc. He denied this in the 1980s even though several witnesses said the same thing and recalled Haut being stressed out over calls he received from DC. It may or may not have had something to do with his resigning his commission a year later.

Haut also was the guy who led researchers to two of the biggest liars of the Roswell legend, Frank Kaufmann and Glenn Dennis (the mortician). Both of their stories are now rejected as tall tales despite Haut endorsing their tales (he even called Frank Kaufmanns tales golden - but his documentation was found to be nothing more than a forgery).

Is it any wonder this guy decided to tell a more elaborate tale before he died? Of course, UFOlogists will find his new story compelling and repeat it as gospel.

We'll never know. She has apparently disappeared.

ETA: I used the word She. I don't know that the nurse was female.

She supposedly disappeared according to Dennis's tale. However, the USAF found a nurse that matched the description. Her name was Eileen Fanton. She did not disappear but was discharged because of an illness not related to any alien spaceship crash. Of course, Dennis gave everyone a fake name that nobody could track down. There was never a nurse named Naomi Self (or Sipes - Dennis changed the name at least once).

AP, did she ever give her account of what happened?
 
I'm skeptical of this "sworn affadavit". It seems odd that he would want such a momentous story to break after his death. On the other hand, if such an affadavit were faked (or Haut were tricked into doing it), it would be of tremendous value to the fakers to wait until Haut could not possibly contradict it.
 
So what was found at Roswell? A lot of broken pieces of some mysterious materials? Or an alien craft full of tiny aliens (or possibly tiny alien bodies)?

If it is the second, how is the first story explained? You know, the one with all the original quotes and pictures.

Like a good fishing story Roswell got better with time.

Given all the lying and confabulation involved, I suggest that this "death bed confession" is just one last joke.

(Of course my theory is that the saucer collided with the Mogul balloon.) :eye-poppi
 
So a death-bed confession is FAR more believable and true than any other confession? Is it, in fact, infallibly the truth?

Whe a newspaper story doesn't bother to spell a person's name correctly, that might be an indication it is taken less than seriously.

Fanton was dead long before Roswell became a story worth telling. It is easy to make up names so your story can not be checked. The USAF discovered the records of Fanton in the 1990s and felt she was a pretty good match to Dennis's nurse. However, it is unlikely that Dennis even spoke to her or was friends with her. He just used her person as a model to create a fictional nurse. You can read this in the 1997 report at:

http://www.gl.iit.edu/wadc/history/roswell/roswell.pdf

Section 2.1 describes Fanton and how she closely matches Dennis's description of Naomi Self/Sipes. However, she did not die in a plane crash and did not retire from the military until the 1950s (I incorrectly said she was discharged after Roswell)!
