Dr. Jesse Marcel Jr. has passed away

He was alone at home when it happened; looks like a heart attack possible age was 77 not sure I just heard the report on Coast to coast.

Jesse was a modest man whose father, Major Jesse Marcel, Sr., was the Roswell Army Air Field base Intelligence officer, the first to reportedly reach and examine the Roswell crash debris field.... Jesse Sr. was marked by the Pentagon to take the fall when it was announced the following day that it had only been a crashed weather balloon.

Jesse never once backed down with account of his father showing him debris from the crash. He always honored and defended his father's reputation, credibility and memory and now he is dead. Salute!

Thank you for sharing this and I'm sorry to hear he has passed. No one can say he didn't live a full life.

I had the privilege of meeting him once at a public presentation, a long time ago. He struck me as a solid and credible man and that always stuck with me.

Rest in Peace, and perhaps some answers are now his.

He retired from the Navy in 1971, earning his wings as a National Guard flight surgeion in 1981. completed my specialty training in Otolaryngology at the Naval Hospital, San Diego, California. I then retired from the Navy in July of 1971 and entered private practice in Helena, Montana. I joined the Montana Army National Guard in 1973, went through helicopter flight training as a flight surgeon at Ft. Rucker, Alabama earning my wings in 1981. He was appointed State Surgeon of the State of Montana and retired from the military the second time in August of 1996 on his 60th birthday. At age 68, he was called back to active duty during the Iraqi war 68th. In recent years he had been serving as an otolaryngiologist at the Veterans Hospital in Ft. Harrison, Montana.
