I was thinking that Hastings had reported his conversation with Lytle who told him what Blanchard had said. So, I guess since I'm relying on Hastings, you could say the information is third hand. However, McQuiddy told me what Blanchard had said to him, which sort of corroborates what Hastings wrote, but then the McQuiddy stuff is second hand. I was attempting to show that some of the higher-ranking officers had talked about this. Of course, DuBose told us what he had seen and done, so there we're back to first - hand testimony which you are now free to reject because the memories were decades old.KRandlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333125414889883920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-42194654892364913812015-12-03T08:50:28.648-08:002015-12-03T08:50:28.648-08:00Kevin:

Have you confused Hastings with someone else, as I thought Blanchard had died long before the Roswell case ever became famous (in 1980 when the Berlitz-Moore book came out)?<br /><br />I could write a lot about the totally nonsensical idea that anyone took the great 'Roswell secret' to their grave, but I won't, on the grounds that it is really off-topic.cdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005702597775594084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-57733563494795886492015-12-02T18:12:12.119-08:002015-12-02T18:12:12.119-08:00Brian -

I don't believe that Friedman would have ever been close enough to hear anything like this and I don't believe he said it... Just more guesses, speculations and unfounded claims.

I can see why they would about Viet Nam and other conflicts. The war was unpopular but the sentiment now is that it was not the fault of the troops and they should be respected and honored for their service. So it makes sense for someone who craves that kind of attention. But Roswell? For what, a mention in a book for a few sentences or a paragraph and maybe 2 minutes of face time on a documentary? And we are not talking a Dan Brown blockbuster book either.Wind Swordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13360675127446078149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-63941069515460855742015-11-30T09:07:49.986-08:002015-11-30T09:07:49.986-08:00CDA =

And it seems, based on other testimony, I'm thinking of Robert Hastings and Art McQuiddy to name two, who were told something about this by Butch Blanchard... or Thomas DuBose who told several people about the situation in Fort Worth... So, your premise isn't exactly accurate.KRandlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333125414889883920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-83140414054422608042015-11-30T08:51:20.088-08:002015-11-30T08:51:20.088-08:00Kevin:

In which case a few top military guys and maybe a few CIA or NSA chiefs knew all about it but kept it top secret. These 'top guys' therefore took the secret to their graves (Vandenberg, Blanchard & Ramey are three such, as are maybe some of those scientists mentioned in the MJ-12 papers).<br /><br />At a much lower level a few guys (like cooks and office cleaners) inadvertently and mistakenly found out back in '47 but, because of respect for their country, and perhaps out of fear of the consequences, also never revealed the truth - until literally at death's door. <br /><br />So here is the position: <br /><br />1. Certain guys at the top took the great secret to their graves. Their identities are known.<br />2. Certain guys at the bottom also kept the great secret, but finally made a confession when they realised they were near death. Their identities are unknown.<br /><br />I presume you accept 1 (essential to your cause), but now appear to reject 2. I personally find 1 just as hard to believe as 2, although both appear infinitely improbable to me.cdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005702597775594084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-89720329928674198482015-11-30T00:34:40.596-08:002015-11-30T00:34:40.596-08:00Some people investigate and produce findings...oth...Some people investigate and produce findings...others just peddle "product."Terry the Censorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13361088223337740598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-77705210031992170562015-11-29T19:15:44.815-08:002015-11-29T19:15:44.815-08:00I'm wholeheartedly with you on this Kevin. The...I'm wholeheartedly with you on this Kevin. There is a lot that points to something strange, perhaps unearthly, crashing in 1947. But it doesn't mean investigators can become lax just to 'add to the testimonies', as Carey and Schmitt are chiefs at. Because what happens is they will realise hey.. we just got away with a couple of easy ones in our last book and people took the bait, and then it just snowballs from there... until something like the Roswell Slides incident occurs. They keep getting away with and getting away with it until they think they are invincible, but then end up ultimately and thankfully with egg on their faces.<br /><br />This shouldn't be a field where one or two individuals has to bring the rest into line. But it seems that's its a field where investigators realise they can get away with quite a bit.. and then abuse the situation.<br /><br />Don't even mention Maussaun... dooon't even mention him.TheDimovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15882471911353036958noreply@blogger.com
