Looks like we have a new Roswell witness: ROSWELL FIREMAN CONFESSES

The UFO Iconoclast(s): ROSWELL FIREMAN CONFESSES- IT WAS A FLYING SAUCER! by Anthony Bragalia

Snip:

A firefighter who was with the Roswell Fire Department in 1947 has confirmed that the mysterious crash in the New Mexico desert that Summer was in fact of an unearthly craft!

The firefighter, now age 90, related stunning information to this author in a lengthy interview conducted recently. Respected Roswell author Kevin Randle also talked with the involved fireman to confirm the details of his story.

Some time ago I located the son of Rue Chrisman. Rue was the Fire Chief for the Roswell Fire Department in 1947, passing in 1981 at age 98. Chrisman's son explained to me that he knew that the town's Fire Department was somehow involved in the crash event. But the son was sparse in his conversation, not really wishing to elaborate. When pressed, the son said, "It did happen. There was a big coverup. The crash was real." I asked him how he knew of this, he paused and said, "I knew too many who knew."

I recommend everyone go read the whole article. Its worth checking out.

Surprisingly, its from RRRGroup. A blog that often gets on my nerves for the way they position themselves as superior and smarter than everyone else. And I thought verged teetering on the edge of debunkery. That could be all be in my head though.

Does this whole fireman thing sound familiar to anyone? In the article it says Kevin Randle is also involved.... did anyone post this or something related a few months ago? (the current article is only days old)

I couldn't find anything on Kevin Randle's blog, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Funny how similar unusual names keep cropping up in the UFO field...Rue Chrisman reminded me of Fred Crisman (I'll stop there before I start playing "6 Degrees Of Separation With Jack Ruby"). I think I'm misfiring neurons from being too tired to stay up and too cold to go to bed.

This story sounds suspicious.

Why would the city fire department be warned to keep quiet when they were not involved with the crash recovery? Why tell someone to not to say anything if they don't know anything in the first place?

Given that the military had cordoned off the area already, how were the firemen able to get close enough to the crash site to determine that the crashed vehicle was a flying saucer?

Maybe because of the Dan Dwyer connection?? I don't know enough to say if his story is credible or not.

I just read this before bed. Although I was entertained by it, it's nothing new. More stories. I think if the guy was truly a hero as mentioned he'd have came forward long ago and not wait to die to release his name. I hope researchers got him on tape so we can at least verify he said what he did once he does die.

I do agree with the comment made toward the end about people who are reluctant and don't come forward, should generally have a little more weight than those who do. Simply speaking. I also think the comments at the end by a variety of people are worth reading. Deals with dementia and old people's testimony.

It would be nice to put Roswell to bed someday, but I've kind of given up on it.

Oh, he's posted on it. I agree with him that one shoudn't dismiss testimony because of the witness's advanced age; Kevin showed that the former fireman was still mentally "with it."

Randle thinks it's credible. Maybe after Dwyer got there first, an officer, seeking to prevent any more firemen from coming, went to the FD to warn the others not to come.

True but Kevin obviously appreciates this apparent corroboration for earlier accounts.

It's understandable. Had he come forward earlier, the controversy could've consumed him, so to speak.

He talking now is better than he not talking at all, so long as he is being truthful. But I would appreciate it more if he talked earlier. Not that what Kevin thinks matters much to me, but I hazard a guess he would too.

Heros are willing to be consumed for a greater good. They are willing to sacrifice.

lol

Thought you were Siani for the first 3 posts. Shows how much your brain just scans the avatar for the identity of the poster.

You're right, it's up here.
(I'm not blind, he posted it after I checked )

It's an interesting read.

I always find Randle's stuff worth reading: while I don't necessarily agree with everything he says, from what I've seen he at least relies on evidence and reasoned argument rather than simply pulling assertions out of his arse like a lot of people in the UFO field do).

He does seem to be one of the more trustworthy researchers, though I don't agree with his view on the abduction phenomenon.

Can you please point me to where Randle talks about this?

He sure advocates a quasi-skeptical approach to abductions in his blog--A Different perspective. Even the Hill case is highly questionable in his view. Friedman, who recently wrote a book on the Hill case, called Randle "an anti-abduction propagandist."

Whoa, thanks. I'll have to look more closely at that.

To call this guy a witness is not fair. He is only a witness to hear say. His story sounds odd. The timeline is off. It would make more sense if Dwyer went out before the Col. came and warned them. It just sounds to me like a guy "remembering" stuff that probably didn't happen the way he recalls. I have no doubt that at the time it was big news and everyone was talking about it. Then I think that there may have been some talk about it not being a ballon and then nothng until 1989. Something about the whole thing bothers me.

Dwyer is said to have gone there on his own; in order to see something he'd almost certainly have had to beat the military to the scene. Perhaps after Dwyer was told to leave the colonel--or somebody from the base--went to the FD to make sure no more of them came.
