Heiser-The-Facade - Sparkling Eyes

discovered that this craft was developed by Nazis and was being perfected by Nazis onour own government's payroll—and that the ongoing research involved sacrificing themost unfortunate members of human society? I'd say the alien angle was more palatable,and the ensuing cover-up fixed the American attention on the extrateuestrial hypothesis inour psyche. No one would ever think there was anything the government would want tokeep under more secrecy than a crashed alien ship. I'm suggesting there is. There youhave it.""That's awesome, girl," Malcolm said with admiration. "It makes sense—it reallydoes.""It's a fascinating alternative," Brian said thoughtfully. "Imaginative is how I'ddescribe it," Major Lindsay said dismissively."I guess we'll find out maybe," remarked Deidre. "I've had my say, now; I thinkwe'd better move on.""I agree," noted the major with disdain. "I guess we can pick it up with MajorMarcel's trip to Fort Worth on July 8. Major Marcel was ordered to go to Fort Worth tomeet with General Ramey. That afternoon Mac Brazel was permitted to go back intotown, where-upon a Walt Whitmore, Sr., of radio station KGFL, who interviewed himabout the incident, found him. Ironically, at about the same time Brazel was giving thisinterview, the debris originally flown to General Ramey in Fort Worth was beingswitched by military personnel with the remnants of a known weather balloon type inGeneral Ramey's office.""How do you know that?" asked Melissa."There's the now famous picture of Jesse Marcel kneeling next to the weatherballoon parts. Marcel testified before his death that when he got to Fort Worth, he wastaken to Ramey's office, shown the new, planted debris, and told that it was his duty totell the reporters and photographers who would arrive in minutes that this was part of thewreckage he'd hauled from Brazel's field. If you look carefully at the photo, the`wreckage' even has a radar detector attached, some-thing Marcel was quite familiar with.You must remember that the personnel at Roswell were top-notch. Roswell was whereour nation kept its atomic weapons; it was the only base of this kind. Marcel was the baseintelligence officer, and was quite capable in determining what a weather balloon was. Infact, the town of Roswell had had dozens of weather balloons come down in its vicinity.Some were retrieved, but others were allowed to be kept by civilians who found them.Trained officers like Marcel had to be familiar with what needed to be guarded or keptsecret and what didn't. Besides, it took three fully loaded C-54s to get all the debris out ofRoswell—which was way too much for a Mogul weather balloon. Marcel followedorders, but his deathbed ac-count highlights that this was a lie. Ramey consequently toldreporters at this arranged news conference that the officers at Roswell had been fooled.""What about the headlines? How did they undo all that?" asked Malcolm."And Brazel what happened to him?" wondered Kevin."Officers from the base found Brazel the next day, July 9, and returned him to thebase for inter r ogation. Brazel's son Billy later testified—accurately, l might add that hedidn't see his father for eight days. Brazel was being interrogated during that time, andwas only released after swearing he would not discuss the incident with anyone after thatday. He told his son that he wouldn't even talk to him about it, but did say that what hesaw was not a weather balloon. Upon his release, military personnel took Brazel back to124
