About this episode
Art Bell welcomes researcher Tom Carey to discuss groundbreaking developments surrounding the Roswell crash on its 60th anniversary. The centerpiece is a sworn affidavit left by Lieutenant Walter Haut, the base public information officer at Roswell Army Air Field in 1947, who kept his account sealed until after his death. Haut's document goes beyond his original story of merely distributing a press release, revealing that he personally witnessed a craft and non-human bodies at the base.
Carey explains how Haut, a man of impeccable character and Blanchard's right-hand man, promised his commanding officer he would never speak publicly about the incident. Rather than cash in during his lifetime through books or television, Haut chose to preserve the truth in a sealed statement opened only upon his passing. The document represents the final chapter of Carey's new book, which had already gone to a second printing.
As the interview unfolds, news of Haut's affidavit begins breaking worldwide in outlets from Australia to Great Britain. Callers share their own encounters and reactions, while Art and Carey discuss the Air Force's four increasingly unconvincing cover stories. For Art, this testimony from a man with nothing to gain finally cinches the reality of Roswell.
