International UFO Museum And Research Center

Haut had the idea in 1990 of providing a place for the vast amounts of information gathered about the Roswell incident. Haut joined with Glenn Dennis, a Roswell incident researcher. Dennis had been an undertaker at Roswell in 1947 during the time of the crash. After the incident, Dennis was contacted by the military for youth-sized caskets. He asked if an accident had occurred that was not yet public. He was told to not worry about the reason and just provide the caskets. The two men began to look for a place to house the UFO Museum. Dennis and Haut contacted a real estate agent in Roswell named Max Littell. He was able to help them find the first place to be used as the UFO International Museum.

The FBI claimed the documents were completely false. A number of ufologists also have claimed they were not authentic. Majestic 12 continues to be mentioned in movies, books and television shows.

William Brazel

As the time of the crash, William Brazel was working at the Foster homestead in New Mexico. He was out on the ranch one day when batches of debris on the ground caught his attention. It was located 30 miles from Roswell, New Mexico. Brazel told the Roswell Daily Record there was a big area of wreckage of rubber strips, tinfoil and odd paper and strange sticks. The next day he heard reports about flying discs. Brazel met with the local sheriff and said he may have found where the flying disc crashed. The sheriff contacted the military. A man came out and went with Brazel to the crash site. The incident was reported in a July 9, 1947, edition of the Roswell Daily Record. It was reported to be a balloon about 12 feet long. The debris covered an area approximately 200 yards in diameter. A day after making the report, many individuals from the military came to the ranch.

Air Force Documentation

During the 1990s, the U.S. Federal government launched an investigation into the 1947 Roswell incident. This investigation produced two reports. The first report was released in 1994. It concluded that any material recovered from the Roswell area in 1947 was probably debris from a top secret project known as Project Mogul. This was a project conducted by the US Army Air Force where microphones were placed on high-altitude balloons. This was done to detect sound waves from a long-distance. These sound waves could have been from the Soviet and reveal atomic bomb testing. In 1997, the second report was released. It concluded the allegations of alien bodies being recovered were transferred memories of military accidents and dummies associated with programs such as Operational High Dive. This program tested high-altitude parachutes using dummies. It also said that psychological effects of time and being confused about the events explain all the various answers to questions about the 1947 Roswell incident.
