My dad, yes, he was out there. I don't know how much he knew about that. But he told me specifically that the Roswell crash was real.
My dad even told me that they tried shooting missiles at the flying saucers on separate occasions. He had seen these flying saucers several times circling rockets when they were launched at White Sands.
My dad, as well as countless other military personnel, including pilots and radar controllers reported these events to officials in command of the White Sands Project. Eventually the word was sent out to shut the men up at all costs for the sake of national security.

MAJOR GENERAL HAROLD E. WATSON: INTELLIGENCE PIONEER, AIR FORCE WARRIOR
During the late 1940s, the Army began testing captured, German V-2 missiles at White Sands, New Mexico. The question was asked of General Watson, "What's the Army doing at White Sands?" Since the question came from a high level, he decided to find out. To gather the information, General Watson decided to see what information could be obtained using electronic surveillance. After getting his plan approved by J. Edgar Hoover, the Federal Bureau of Investigation director, and General Nathan Twining, the Air Force Chief of Staff, General Watson put a crew in a hotel in Alamogordo, New Mexico, near the White Sands missile range to spy on the Army. This was the start of electronics intelligence (ELINT) as a concerted effort in the Air Force.

The ufo's are supposedly brought down by our RADAR, somehow it affects the craft in a way that makes them crash. At least this is the information on the Histroy Channel's ufo shows these days.

What is interesting to me is why do there suddenly seem to appear all this talk about missiles being shot at ufo's. Remember this was back in the forties and these were the very first missiles (extremely primitive) that we had. It is unbelievable to me that they shot down the ufo's at Roswell using such missiles. Why are they putting out such stories?

102. Bryson: Some fellow reported that every time they fired a rocket into the stratosphere these little discs would cluster around and that the Air Force had special objects [projects] for tracking them. Do you know about this?
