New and updated insight into the mysterious craft that crashed near Roswell, New Mexico in July 1947. Standard Roswell UFO lore sorted fact from fiction by Anna Jones and interviews with The Wanderling. "Swooping in behind and over his left shoulder from out of the northwest and only a few hundred feet above the top of the truck were 2 large sharp-edged almost flat circular-shaped objects, blunt across the back and seemingly made of metal. The objects were flying side-by-side with one slightly in front, both headed ESE out over the horizon at an incredible high rate of speed. In only the few seconds it takes the boy to scramble up from under the dash, the objects are gone, leaving in their wake only a small residue lingering in the air like the smell of electricity and a quarter-mile wide swath of thick swirling air laying turbulently above the treetops like a sweltering mirage over a desert dry lake." (source) In the summer of 1947 a young boy was traveling with his uncle visiting various archaeological sites and places of interest throughout the desert southwest. On Fourth of July weekend of that year, his uncle -- a notorious bio-searcher with strong ties to southwestern Native American cultures and who because of his discoveries will eventually have several plant species named after him -- had taken the boy as part of their exploration to learn firsthand about "The Long Walk" endured by the Navajos and Apaches as well as visit the gravesite of Billy the Kid near Fort Sumner, New Mexico. As they were about to turn onto a main highway from a side road near Fort Sumner, they were stopped by a 5-or-6 truck convoy of military vehicles headed northeast at a high rate of speed. Several were carrying huge wooden crates, some covered with tarps. A few days later, a famous meteorite hunter informs the boy's uncle some mysterious objects have been found in the desert near Roswell that have an unknown writing on them. The uncle goes to Roswell to investigate and takes the boy with him. The following contains some of the previously unpublished insights taken from the boy's reminisces and conversations with his Uncle, interjected into, thus modifying standard Roswell UFO fare.

Because of the unusual nature that the object exhibits on the radar screens, Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF) headquarters sends a technician to the White Sands Proving Ground (WSPG) in an effort to confirm consistency in readings between sites and locations. Lack of the correct clearance denies the technician total access to high levels of the WSPG radar grid. But what he does observe (and overhear among proving ground staff) is that their readings are similar to that of RAAF readings. The object continues to go in-and-out of the WSPG radar detection system several times during a 24 hour period and in each instance (as had been observed on the previous occasions) always appearing to defy convention by exhibiting high speeds and non aircraft-like maneuvering. Checks between sites continue to substantiate no malfunction that would cause a similar return echo or radar imaging if the object being tracked was not "real". However, no visual sightings occur, nor are any reported by base or ground personnel. With no change over 24 hours and the fact that there are NO inconsistencies, the technician is ordered back to Roswell. It is presumed the WSPG radar array continues tracking the object. In 1947, the radar equipment used at White Sands was said to be composed of SCR-584 mobile units "modified and of an experimental nature" (read: secret) built into a K-78 trailer with a gross weight is 10 tons. The overall length 19.5 feet, width 8 feet, height 10 feet, 4 inches. Although at the proving grounds they were not intended to be moved, the unit was well capable of being moved or relocated quickly if special circumstances required it. As to the power, capabilities and efficiency of the SRC-584, on Oct. 14, 1947, it should be noted a SRC-584 was used to track Chuck Yeager in his record breaking supersonic flight of the Bell X-1 over Muroc Dry Lake as he accelerated to a speed of Mach 1.06 at an altitude of 42,000 feet. As to the question if radar equipment was available and being used at RAAF on the nights in question, it is not clear. Official memos state that there was a lack of ground radar equipment convenient to Eighth Air Force Bases which are located at Fort Worth, Texas, Tucson, Arizona, and Roswell, New Mexico. However, there is a big difference between "lack of" "convenient" and none at all which opens the door to the possibility of radar capability not only at RAAF but from such sources as at the White Sands Proving Grounds.
