The really sad part for me is the fact that when As Jesse Jr. states in his book, "for those that say General Ramey ordered Major Marcel to pose his father confused UFO debris with a radar for the pictures with the obvious weather target is ludicrous." So the same government balloon on the floor of the Generals office, that paid for his advanced radar school in 1945 General Ramey ordered Marcel to keep silent, would accuse him of not knowing the difference and to not make any comments in the presence between a UFO and a weather balloon 2 short of the civilian photographer.

I have several seen the photographs taken in General Ramey's other commendation and recommendation office, it's apparent to me that there are documents for Major Marcel in my file for his unopened packages along the wall, and more intelligence work, before and "after" the importantly the brown paper on the floor under Roswell Incident. the debris staged for the photographs is from a new roll of paper and shows no indication of ever being wrapped around any debris or anything else brought to Fort Worth by Major Marcel. I firmly believe that as a researcher part of my responsibility is to provide information that is truthful and factual for my future generations as well as yours. I believe Major Marcel and his son Jesse Jr. have done that. Dennis G.

My hope is that by reading this book, you'll get a better feel for who Jesse Marcel, Sr. was, who I am, and what has guided all of us who have been involved in the legacy borne of the Roswell crash.In the larger scheme, we may all be mere footnotes in history, but we were so much more than that. We were (and are) living, breathing human beings who, through no choice of our own, have been caught up in a whirlwind of controversy and wonder. It is my fondest hope that you, the reader, might end up feeling as if you know the people a little bit better, might have a better understanding of the controversy, and might share with us the same sense of wonder that has so filled our lives.
