Roswell UFO Was Not Of This Earth And There Were ET Cadavers: Ex-CIA Agent Says
The July 8, 1947, edition of the Roswell Daily Record which indicated
that the military had found a flying saucer in New Mexico.
Happy anniversary, Roswell, N.M. It was 65 years ago today that the
Roswell Daily Record
blasted an infamous headline claiming local military officials had
captured a flying saucer on a nearby ranch. And now, a former CIA agent
says it really happened.
"It was not a damn weather balloon -- it was what it was billed when people first reported it," said
Chase Brandon,
a 35-year CIA veteran. "It was a craft that clearly did not come from
this planet, it crashed and I don't doubt for a second that the use of
the word 'remains' and 'cadavers' was exactly what people were talking
about."

Brandon served as an undercover, covert operations officer in the
agency's Clandestine Service for 25 years, where he was assigned
missions in international terrorism, counterinsurgency, global narcotics
trafficking and weapons smuggling. He spent his final 10 years of CIA
service on the director's staff as the agency's first official liaison
to the entertainment and publication industries. It was during this
time, in the mid-1990s, that he walked into a special section of CIA
headquarters in Langley, Va., called the Historical Intelligence
Collection.
"It was a vaulted area and not everybody could get in it," Brandon
told The Huffington Post. "One day, I was looking around in there and
reading some of the titles that were mostly hand-scribbled summations of
what was in the boxes. And there was one box that really caught my eye.
It had one word on it: Roswell.
"I took the box down, lifted the lid up, rummaged around inside it,
put the box back on the shelf and said, 'My god, it really happened!'"
What exactly did the box contain that had such a powerful impact on Brandon?

"Some written material and some photographs, and that's all I will
ever say to anybody about the contents of that box," he said. "But it
absolutely, for me, was the single validating moment that everything I
had believed, and knew that so many other people believed had happened,
truly was what occurred,"
None of this comes as a surprise to
Stanton T. Friedman, a nuclear-physicist-turned-UFOlogist, who was the original civilian investigator of the Roswell UFO incident.
In the late 1970s, Friedman began to uncover former military
eyewitnesses who had been involved with the original events that took
place at Roswell in 1947.
Despite the fact that the military changed its story overnight,
saying on July 8, 1947 that a flying disk had been captured but claiming
on July 9 that a weather balloon had been recovered, Friedman's early
investigative efforts prompted many Roswell witnesses to come forward
and tell their stories. Numerous researchers have dug up more facts in
the years since.

"It's been 65 years since things took place at Roswell," Friedman
told HuffPost. "How much more widely known could it be -- everywhere
I've spoken in the world, they ask about Roswell."
"What we really need now is the Woodward-Bernstein of the UFO world
to bring out the disclosure," said Friedman. "Maybe Chase Brandon is a
foresight of something going on.
"It's time for the retirement of the mythical part -- where we don't
have all the pieces -- to be replaced by the true story of what
happened, all the details, and we certainly don't have them."

Brandon is currently promoting his book, "
The Cryptos Conundrum,"
a science fiction story about the history of Earth, contact with
extraterrestrials and imagined cataclysmic events on our planet.
He remains steadfast about the pieces of the Roswell puzzle he's
willing to share, and he emphasizes there's no internal CIA policy that
prevents him from revealing any details of what he saw in that box at
the agency headquarters.
"Nobody tells any of us that we can't say anything about sources,
methods, classified information having to do with working for the
Central Intelligence Agency," Brandon said. "We all sign a secrecy
agreement that says we understand we are forbidden to do that by law,
and that is an inherent part of keeping and safeguarding what we do, how
we do it, why we do it, out of national security concerns.
"I'm not reluctant to talk about it -- I won't talk about it. I'm
telling you there was a box that had stuff in there having to do with
Roswell, and I looked through it, and it validated everything I believed
in, and that's all I have to say about it. I will go to my grave being
mindful of the two hats that I wear: My personal one and the one that
will forever reside on my head as a former CIA officer."
