About this episode
Kevin Randle brings unique military credentials to investigating the famous Roswell UFO crash of July 1947. A former Army helicopter pilot and Air Force intelligence officer with 12 years of experience, Randle has spent two decades researching UFO phenomena and co-authored The UFO Crash at Roswell. His military background provides insider perspective on the alleged cover-up of what many consider the best-documented proof of alien visitation to Earth. Art Bell explores the extensive debris field discovered on the Foster Ranch, examining witness testimony about strange materials that couldn’t be identified or damaged by conventional means. The conversation delves into the military’s rapid response to secure the crash site, the initial press release claiming recovery of a “flying disc,” and the subsequent retraction describing it as a weather balloon. Randle analyzes the credibility of witnesses, many of whom were military personnel bound by oaths of secrecy, and discusses why some have only recently come forward with their accounts. Linda Moulton Howe contributes reports of current cattle mutilations in New Mexico, connecting contemporary mysteries to the legacy of Roswell. The program examines how military protocols and classification systems may have enabled one of the most significant cover-ups in modern history.
