After 60 years of sticking with the weather balloon story Lieutenant Walter Haut, who was the public relations officer at the Roswell base, issues a postmortem sworn affidavit testifying that the that balloon story he issued was a cover up on the orders of the base commander, Col. William Blanchard. He further details his knowledge of two crash site and witnessing the spacecraft and two alien bodies. Haut never sought publicity during his life and there is no reason to doubt his claims.
Haut died last year, but left a sworn affidavit to be opened only after his death. Last week, the text was released and asserts that the weather balloon claim was a cover story, and that the real object had been recovered by the military and stored in a hangar. He described seeing not just the craft, but alien bodies.
Haut then tells how Colonel Blanchard took him to 'Building 84' - one of the hangars at Roswell - and showed him the craft itself. He describes a metallic egg-shaped object around 12-15ft in length and around 6ft wide. He said he saw no windows, wings, tail, landing gear or any other feature.
He saw two bodies on the floor, partially covered by a tarpaulin. They are described in his statement as about 4ft tall, with disproportionately large heads. Towards the end of the affidavit, Haut concludes: "I am convinced that what I personally observed was some kind of craft and its crew from outer space."
