Randle describes interviewing dozens of firsthand witnesses, including the provost marshal of the 509th Bomb Group who stated directly that the recovered material was extraterrestrial. He details eyewitness accounts of a heel-shaped craft 25 to 30 feet long embedded in a slope northwest of Roswell, with five alien bodies described as slender beings with slightly oversized heads and bird-like bone structures. General Thomas DuBose, on videotape, confirmed the weather balloon explanation was a deliberate cover story. Randle reveals that Project Blue Book contains no file on Roswell, and that a secret parallel investigation called Project Moon Dust continued recovering unknown materials long after Blue Book ended. Witnesses report being threatened with death if they spoke about what they saw.
Art Bell and Randle debate the implications of a 47-year cover-up and what it would take to finally force disclosure from the government.
Key Moments
Provost Marshal Easley said it was extraterrestrial: Randle describes Major Edwin Easley, provost marshal of the 509th Bomb Group, telling him personally on tape that the Roswell craft was extraterrestrial - and General Thomas DuBose admitting on videotape that the balloon story was a cover.
Heel-shaped craft, four bodies, slender beings: Randle gives the firsthand witness description of a heel-shaped craft 25-30 feet long impacted in a slope 40 miles northwest of Roswell, with one body outside, one against the cliff, and three inside - slender, four-and-a-half to five-and-a-half feet tall.
Air Force lied to Senator Bingaman about Project Moon Dust: Randle documents that Air Force Regulation 200-2 routed UFO reports away from Project Blue Book to the 4602nd at Fort Belvoir, and that the Air Force flatly denied to Senator Jeff Bingaman that Project Moon Dust ever existed until shown the documents.
Hoover's note: disks recovered, the Army grabbed it: Randle quotes a July 10, 1947 FBI document where J. Edgar Hoover, in his own handwriting, demands access to disks recovered, complaining that in the LA case the Army grabbed the wreckage and would not let the FBI even examine it.
