Starpeople: Former Joint Chiefs’ Chairman affirms extraterrestrials in Roswell ’47…

It’s hard getting stories straight in the first place, but after 67 years it’s even tougher.

Even so, there is a new account that the fellow who worked in the highest military post in the 1950s affirmed that extraterrestrial folk were involved in 1947 Roswell event. The General died in 1982, buried with full honors in Arlington, and his story didn’t pass with him – he told his son. Here’s more, in this account by Anthony Bragalia:

Six weeks before he passed, the four-star General who served as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under President Eisenhower (and who was the Commander of the Air Materiel Command at Wright Field in July of 1947) confessed to his namesake son that the Roswell crash was an extraterrestrial event.

Even more astonishingly, he disclosed that one of the aliens had survived.

General Nathan Twining was a West Point grad who was born into a family that was long-associated with the military. As Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he had risen to become the highest ranking military officer in the U.S. Armed Forces and principal military advisor to a President. Before retiring with over four decades of service, he was eligible to wear over 30 military medals.

Twining, concerned about the increasing rise in UFO reports during the summer of 1947, had advised the initiation of a formal study of the mysterious phenomenon. Known as Project Sign, this early official UFO study was authorized in December of 1947 by General Laurence Craige (Chief of Air Force R&D and implicated as Roswell-involved by Craige’s pilot, Ben Games.)

At the time of the Roswell incident Twining was at Wright Field (where the crash debris was flown) as Commander of the Air Materiel Command (AMC.) The AMC was charged with research, development, acquisition and flight testing of novel, prototype or foreign aircraft and weapons.

Here’s the rest of the story, including the transcript of the account.
