In this episode, Colonel Gene P. Abel delves into the fascinating connection between the 1947 Roswell crash and Project Crystal Knight, an extraordinary exchange program between Earth and an alien species known as the Evans. Drawing on sources like a classified 1981 briefing to President Reagan, a YouTube transcript, and the book Secret Journey to Planet Serpo by Glenn Kassen, Colonel Gene unpacks the details of this alleged interplanetary mission.
The Roswell Crash and Even One
The story begins with the 1947 Roswell crash, where one of the Gray aliens, later named Even One, survived and lived with a nurse. Even One communicated with Earth authorities and proposed an exchange program between Earthlings and the Evans, setting the stage for Project Crystal Knight. The proposal was approved in 1962 by President Kennedy and later reaffirmed by President Johnson, leading to the program's initiation in 1965.
The Exchange Program: Project Crystal Knight
Project Crystal Knight involved 12 U.S. military members traveling to Planet Serpo, located 39 light-years from Earth:

The Aftermath
The team members shared their experiences upon their return, though much of the information remained classified. The story of Project Crystal Knight became a cornerstone of UFO lore, and its authenticity is still debated.
Colonel Gene concludes by encouraging listeners to delve deeper into this remarkable story by reading Glenn Kassen’s Secret Journey to Planet Serpo and watching the Reagan briefing on YouTube. He also invites those with UFO experiences to share their stories with the podcast.
