In this episode we reveal that a deathbed confession exists about the Roswell UFO Event. Roswell Army Air Field was the home of the 509th Bomb Group, an elite outfit. Colonel Blanchard, Commander, issued a press release on the morning of July 8, 1947 which stated that the wreckage of a "crashed disk" had been recovered. It made national headlines. But within hours a second release, a cover story, was issued stating it was merely a weather balloon. How could such credible military and civilian witnesses make a mistake? They didn't. The first Press Release was accurate and the Public Information Officer of the base, Walter G. Haut, arranged with his family to publish, immediately after his death, a sealed Affidavit that the second Press Release was nothing but a cover story and he had personally observed the disc that had been recovered, as well as seeing bodies under a canvas tarpaulin. This is the story of the century.
