Thread: FBI Allegedly Releases Memo 'Proving' UFO Crash in Roswell

FBI — Guy Hottel Part 1 of 1

The document is a report outlining another individual's report. It's neither admission nor documentation of the incident by the FBI, just a record that someone has made a statement about the incident. It's worthless.

My thoughts are that I don't know.
I think that's the healthiest answer to the question of whether or not extra-terrestrials exist and whether or not they crashed at Roswell.
Mathematically speaking, it is a near impossibility that life only exists on Earth, especially when you forget preconceived notions that life can only be carbon based, that it can only be three dimensional, and that it can only be humanoid.
However, I don't know.

Here is also a response on the discussion thread below the article, claiming it to be a hoax:

In more detail, taken from another site:

UFO FBI connection: the secret ... - Google Books

In late March, 1950, FBI headquarters received from Guy Hottel, the SAC for Washington state, a memorandum which stated that "an investigator for the Air Forces" had told Mr. Hottel that three crashed saucers had been recovered in New Mexico, along with 9 bodies of 3 foot tall aliens. It turned out that this report was based on a hoax, but the FBI didn't know that at the time.

The Aztec UFO Hoax was the work of Variety columnist Frank Scully who was hoaxed by two con men, Silas M. Newton and Leo A. Gebauer.

The Aztec story was revived in 1986 by William Steinman and Wendelle Stevens in their privately-published book called UFO Crash at Aztec. It was revived again in 1998 when Linda Mouton Howe, a UFO and Art Bell mainstay, claimed she had government documents that proved the Aztec crash. What she had was a rumor eight times removed from the source, Silas Newton, that eventually ended up in a memo written to J. Edgar Hoover. Newton told George Koehler about 3-foot tall aliens and their saucer; Koehler told Morley Davies who told Jack Murphy and I. J. van Horn who told Rudy Fick who told the editor of the Wyandotte Echo in Kansas City where it was read by an Air Force agent in the Office of Special Investigations who passed on the story to Guy Hottel of the FBI who sent a memo to his boss (Thomas).

I have very little time to go through this (at work), so I can neither confirm nor deny either of the claims, with any detail.

I think if it were true, we would have more intersteller jockies at the race tracks.

My guess is that they want to distract people from their unconstitutional attempts to squash wikileaks. They do that all the time.
