A BIZARRE memo about the Roswell UFO crash could unlock secrets and expose the truth about the “flying saucer” mystery.
A prominent ufologist made the startling claim after aliens were rumored as being spotted dead among the wreckage.

The so-called Roswell Incident happened on July 2, 1947, in a remote desert area in New Mexico.
Conspiracy theories and mystery swirling the alleged crash have fascinated UFO watchers for nearly 80 years.
Back in 1947, the 509th Bomb Group – based in Roswell – released a press release claiming a UFO had crashed in the area, and the United States Army Air Forces were in possession of a “flying disk.”
However, confusion ensued after that release was later retracted, and replaced with a statement saying the object was in fact a high altitude weather balloon.
The news alert had initially been issued by 1st Lt. Walter Haut, the public information officer at the base.
Decades later, his daughter, Julie Shuster, was adamant that his original “flying disk” statement had been accurate.
But he had to keep everything “secret.”
A similar view has been expressed by veteran researcher Kevin Randle, a prominent ufologist who is regarded as one of the top experts on the reported crash.
Randle has written multiple books about UFOs and the Roswell story.
He’s adamant that he has “eliminated all possible terrestrial explanations.”
“What we can say with authority is that something fell at Roswell,” he said.
“We have eliminated all the terrestrial explanations.”
The expert, who served in the Air Force and National Guard, said the UFO case could be solved by delving into a historic memo.

The eerie memo can be seen in a black and white photograph sent out on the news wires at the time.
The grainy note appears to say the words “victims of the crash.”
The memo itself can be seen in the old pic being held by Brigadier General Roger Ramey, who at the time of the crash was commanding officer of the 8th Air Force in Roswell.
Ramey is holding the piece of paper slightly turned away from the camera. But, fortunately, some words can now be read using technology.
KEY MEMO
“The Ramey memo could be the key to this whole thing,” Randle said.
“Ramey was holding the memo in his hand when he was photographed with the debris in his office.
“And what’s interesting is we know when the picture was transmitted over the wire, we know who took it and we can see Ramey is holding the document in his hand.
“So we pretty much have the provenance nailed down.
“There are words in the document when you blow it up, that you can read.
“Some people interpret the critical line as saying ‘victims of the wreck.’
“Well, ‘victims of the wreck’ takes it out of the realm of a weather balloon – but it’s kind of an interpretation of what you see.”
Randle has interviewed some 600 people over the past few decades in his search to establish the truth around the mysterious case.
POLITICAL HOAX
He has concluded that the weather balloon story is nothing but a “government hoax” to fob off those intrigued by UFO sightings.
Randle said, “What they’ve said officially is that the Roswell crash was a weather balloon and [radar-type] target from this experiment being conducted in New Mexico.
“What I discovered is that while [the radar-type] targets were a part of the experiments conducted on the east coast, when they got to New Mexico, they didn’t use those targets.
“That kind of points the finger at this being a government hoax to explain away the Roswell case.”
KEPT SECRET
Julie Shuster, Walter Haut’s daughter, told SBS News, a broadcaster based in Australia, that she had many conversations with the former Army PR man about the “flying disk” he wrote about in 1947.
She said before her death in 2015, “People began to talk about Roswell in the late ’70s after several decades of keeping quiet.
“I would ask dad to tell me the whole story, and he told me the same thing he told everybody: ‘I put out the press release’, and nothing else.”
It was not from this Earth, it was something manufactured off this Earth.
Walter Haut, ex-public information officer, Roswell
It later emerged that Haut had been sworn to secrecy by base commander and close personal friend, Colonel William Blanchard.
But, Haut was unhappy about keeping such a big secret, and prepared a signed affidavit to be opened after his death.
Originally from Chicago, Illinois, he died in Roswell in 2005.
“Basically dad said yes, he did see the bodies, yes he did see the craft and much more than that,” said Shuster.
“At one point I asked him about the size, and he said the craft was about 25 feet in diameter.”
EGG-SHAPED
Thomas Carey, who co-authored a book with Shuster, Witness to Roswell: Unmasking the Government’s Biggest Cover-Up, published in 2007, said his big secret “all came out in his sealed statement after he died.”
Carey added, “The ship which he described was about the size of a Volkswagen Beetle, more of an egg-shaped object, and he did see a number of bodies.
“He described them as being the size of children.
“And when asked point blank if what he believed it was that he had seen, without hesitation he’d say, ‘It was not from this Earth, it was something manufactured off this Earth.’”
A retired cop claimed that he saw the remains of dead aliens being lifted with a crane and hauled away.
Former Deputy Sheriff Charles H Forgus of Howard County,Texas, recalled traveling toRoswellto pick up a prisoner with Sheriff Jess Slaughter.
Forgus claimed he saw four alien bodies with big eyes and brownish-colored skin being taken away by military personnel.

2 weeks agoNew York StateComments Off on From Rose West & Myra Hindley’s ‘affair’ to child killers at war… why infamous monsters ALWAYS become rivals behind bars
THEIR deadly urges might appear to make them kindred spirits, but behind bars, the world’s most despised serial killers have often turned against each other in explosive fashion.
From loathsome love affairs to murder plots and gruesome jail attacks, these warped rivalries also expose a dark psychology that drives these infamous monsters, according to a top criminologist.
ShutterstockRose West, pictured with killer husband Fred, was reportedly targeted in jail[/caption]
PA:Press AssociationSpree killer Joanna Dennehy had plotted to take down West[/caption]
The twisted pair were both caged at HMP Bronzefield in Surrey. West was allegedly taken into solitary confinement before she was transferred to another prison the following day, as prison guards feared the worst.
Criminologist Professor David Wilson is not at all surprised that Dennehy would want to target West, explaining she is desperate to cement her own self-styled reputation as Britain’s most evil woman.
“Quite clearly Rose West is a convicted serial killer, then you have Joanna Dennehy who isn’t a serial killer, but is a spree killer,” he explains.
“But Joanna Dennehy has carefully constructed for herself a persona where she wants to be seen as the most dangerous woman that Britain has ever produced.
“And therefore having Rose West in the same prison… she undermines that sense.
“A plot for the spree killer to kill the serial killer embellishes and improves her reputation as being that dangerous female murderer. She would be the ultimate top dog.
“These people want to reinvent their brand, sometimes they are polishing that sense of what the public think of them, because these confrontations get reported on. They can enhance and keep their brand in the limelight.”
But Dennehy isn’t the only notorious prisoner to start a bitter feud behind bars with an infamous rival.
And Professor Wilson, also a former prison governor, says there are two key reasons for this – personality and the prison environment.
“Ultimately what characterises them all is narcissism. These people like to be the centre of attention, and as long as they can be the centre of attention that fits their psychological needs,” he says.
“Sometimes a friendship or alliance with another prisoner who has a reputation outside or inside can enhance their narcissistic personality trait.
“But other times if they feel that they are under threat from that person, they will change their behaviour accordingly and they will fall out.
“Then the key sociological aspect is that they are all incarcerated in a maximum security prison or a secure hospital. And there is a prison hierarchy and they have a reputation that they want to retain.
“Sometimes the fact that there is a hierarchy means that they want to position themselves as higher up than another prisoner.
“Or it may be that they see a kindred spirit so that they can combine forces and act jointly to maintain their place in the hierarchy.
“Sometimes there are genuine friendships that develop within secure hospitals and maximum security prisons.”
But often these friendships can twist into deadly and bitter rivalry… as we reveal here.
Rose West and Myra Hindley
Rose West and Myra Hindley are rumoured to have had a short-lived affair
Mass murderers Rose West and Myra Hindley were as “thick as thieves” until a sudden split after they quarrelled over who was more famous, a fellow lag claims.
Moors Murderer Myra and Cromwell Street killer Rose first met in HMP Durham in the mid 1990s.
It was claimed they had a “short-lived lesbian relationship” before the fallout.
West’s former solicitor Leo Goatley said: “Rose’s first paramour was the Moors murderer, Myra Hindley, who happened to be on the hospital wing at HMP Durham at the same time in 1995 and early 1996.”
However, Mr Goatley claims their relationship didn’t last long with West saying Hindley could be “very manipulative”.
He told the Daily Mail: “When I visited a few months later, Rose’s opinion of Hindley had changed dramatically.
“She was saying, ‘You have to watch Hindley, mind. She is very manipulative.
“‘You don’t realise it, but she gets you doing stuff for her. Oh, she’s clever, all right. She’s flippin’ dangerous, that one. She ain’t going to take me for a c*** again.’
“And so heralded the end of the romance.”
Fellow prisoner Linda Calvey, who served 18 years inside, later claimed the relationship didn’t last long, saying: “As fast as it happened, it ended.
“There was talk that because Rose was more famous than Myra it had put her nose out of joint.”
Yorkshire Ripper and Ronnie Kray
Ronnie Kray and the Yorkshire Ripper fell out over the former’s sexual advances
Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe and gangland killer Ronnie Kray were both banged up in maximum security psychiatric hospital Broadmoor in the early 90s.
Serial killer Sutcliffe and mobster Kray were once on friendly terms inside, with Sutcliffe being trusted to cut Kray’s hair.
But Sutcliffe told a pal just months before his death that he threatened to kill Kray after the gangster made advances towards him.
In one letter, he wrote: “I did not give Ronnie a beating although I did threaten him when he tried to make advances on me.”
Ronnie Kray died, aged 61, in 1995, while Sutcliffe, who murdered 13 women, died at HMP Frankland from a combination of Covid-19 and heart disease in November 2020, aged 74.
Ian Brady and Raymond Morris
The infamous child killers scalded each other in a fierce feud
The country’s most notorious child killers, Raymond Morris and Ian Brady, were embroiled in a savage, behind-bars rivalry.
While serving their life sentences the pair often had violent clashes as they argued about who had the greater notoriety.
The Cannock Chase Killer and the Moors Murderer attacked each other in Durham Prison, throwing hot water over each other – and both received treatment for scalds following the violence.
Historian Richard Pursehouse said of one of the attacks: “Assuming the phrase was around then, apparently Brady, who had chosen ‘tea, no milk, plenty of sugar’, had ‘napalmed’ Morris.
“The lack of milk means it would be hot, while lots of sugar means the tea would stick to Morris’s face.”
Walsall monster Morris, who died in 2014, was only ever convicted of the murder of seven-year-old Christine Darby but remains chief suspect in the killings of Margaret and Diana Tift.
Brady, along with his girlfriend Myra Hindley, was convicted of the murders of five children. He died in prison in 2017.
Charles Bronson and Robert Maudsley
The pair are said to have ‘hated’ each other inside the notorious ‘Monster Mansion’
One of Britain’s most feared killers is reportedly embroiled in a bitter feud with infamous prisoner Charles Bronson.
Robert Maudsley, who earned the nickname ‘Hannibal the Cannibal’ after allegations he ate one of his victims’ brains, has been locked up for more than 40 years.
His dangerous reputation has led to him being kept in isolation inside a glass box underground.
The pair reportedly “hated” each other inside HMP Wakefield, also known as “Monster Mansion”.
In the book, Inside Wakefield Prison, authors Jonathan Levi and Emma French recount how one prison guard, named Jo, described how the pair would torment one another.
“Robert Maudsley, Bob as he is known, hates Bronson. They simply do not get on,” they explained. “When I was on the unit, Maudsley would play rock music loud to annoy Bronson.”
The music would echo through the cell walls and provoke Bronson to “shout” at the killer who refused to respond.
In a particularly twisted form of revenge, Bronson was allegedly known to whistle outside Maudsley’s cell, supposedly because the latter’s mother would lock him in a cupboard and whistle outside the door.
Bronson has claimed he and Maudsley fell out over a rejected gift – and he wants revenge.
He revealed that he sent Maudsley a watch as a gift, only for it to be rejected by the killer, who instructed the prison guard trying to deliver it to throw the watch in a bin.
After the incident he called Maudsley “an ungrateful b*****d and threatened: “I pray to one day bump into him at 300mph and, unlike him, I don’t need a blade.”
Levi Bellfield and John Warboys
Bellfield and Warboys were pals before falling out over a ‘betrayal’
Black cab rapist John Worboys bonded with killer Levi Bellfield over their love of football and food – before falling out when Bellfield found out Worboys admitted he was guilty.
Bellfield became “best friends” with rapist Warboys and even offered legal advice, said insiders.
When Worboys was moved to a different prison he kept in touch with Bellfield, one of the UK’s most notorious child killers, by letter.
Despite their friendship Bellfield later wrote to a pen pal claiming they were only pals because he believed Warboys was innocent.
He wrote: “He told me he was innocent when I was there. And if he’s admitted his guilt now I’m a little bit disappointed because I looked to him as being innocent.
“Like a mug I was, but that’s what he told me. That’s what he told everyone.”
Bellfield was jailed for life in 2008 for the hammer murders of Amelie Delagrange, 22, and 19-year-old Marsha McDonnell and the attempted murder of Kate Sheedy, 18.
Three years later he was convicted of killing schoolgirl Milly Dowler, 13, who was abducted on her way home from school in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey in 2002.
Roy Whiting and Gary Vinter
Double killer Gary Vinter, right, said Roy Whiting was a ‘dirty little nonce’
Double killer Gary Vinter set his sights on Roy Whiting because of his notoriety.
Convicted sex offender Whiting had been jailed for life 2001 for the murder of eight-year-old Sarah Payne, who disappeared while playing near her grandparents’ home in Kingston Gorse, West Sussex, in July 2000.
Vinter stabbed Whiting in the eyes with a sharpened toilet brush handle in 2011.
He attacked Whiting in an attempt to get his own jail conditions changed, Newcastle Crown Court heard. Vinter told the court: “He [Whiting] was a dirty little nonce. That’s why I did it.”
Vinter admitted the attack and was given an indefinite sentence with a notional five-year minimum jail term.
But that wasn’t the end of his prison violence and Vinter has since become known as one of the most feared prisoners in the British justice system.
In 2016 he was handed another life sentence for trying to kill double killer Lee Newell, a fellow lifer at HMP Woodhill.
Newell was kicked repeatedly in the head. A prison officer said they were the worst injuries he had seen.
Passing sentence, Judge Richard Foster told Vinter: “You must be one of the most dangerous individuals within the prison system today. Your record is truly shocking.”
Edmund Kemper and Herbert Mullin
California killers Kemper and Mullin tormented each other
In 1970s California, there was not one but two serial killers on the loose at the same time.
Eventually cops arrested Herbert Mullin and Edmund Kemper after the deaths of 21 people, and the pair ended up in adjoining cells in prison.
But that despite their grisly common ground, the men did not get along, with Kemper trying to torment Mullin.
Kemper recalled: “Well, [Mullin] had a habit of singing and bothering people when somebody tried to watch TV.
“So I threw water on him to shut him up. Then, when he was a good boy, I’d give him some peanuts. Herbie liked peanuts.
“That was effective because pretty soon he asked permission to sing. That’s called behaviour modification treatment.”
Who are the UK's worst serial killers?
THE UK's most prolific serial killer was actually a doctor.
Here’s a rundown of the worst offenders in the UK.
British GP Harold Shipman is one of the most prolific serial killers in recorded history. He was found guilty of murdering 15 patients in 2000, but the Shipman Inquiry examined his crimes and identified 218 victims, 80 per cent of whom were elderly women.
After his death Jonathan Balls was accused of poisoning at least 22 people between 1824 and 1845.
Mary Ann Cotton is suspected of murdering up to 21 people, including husbands, lovers and children. She is Britain’s most prolific female serial killer. Her crimes were committed between 1852 and 1872, and she was hanged in March 1873.
Amelia Sach and Annie Walters became known as the Finchley Baby Farmers after killing at least 20 babies between 1900 and 1902. The pair became the first women to be hanged at Holloway Prison on February 3, 1903.
William Burke and William Hare killed 16 people and sold their bodies.
Dennis Nilsen was caged for life in 1983 after murdering up to 15 men when he picked them up from the streets. He was found guilty of six counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder and was sentenced to life in jail.

ISRAEL has issued a warning to Greta Thunberg’s so-called Freedom Flotilla as the climate activist aims to sail into Gaza.
The Swede is pulling the dangerous stunt after leaving from Catania, Italy, on Sunday aboard the Madleen.
ReutersGreta Thunberg sits aboard the aid ship Madleen during the stunt[/caption]
Thunberg speaking ahead of the dangerous stuntAPThunberg and the Madleen are currently south of Greece[/caption]
The boat, carrying 11 pro-Palestine protesters, is currently south of Crete and is aiming directly for the terror hotbed with only a “symbolic” amount of aid.
The young campaigners say they are hoping to “break the siege” and raise “international awareness” of the humanitarian crisis on the Gaza Strip.
Thunberg, 22, has posted on social media with a Palestine flag and wearing a keffiyeh scarf while on the pointless journey.
Israel is prepared to raid the ship, IDF spokesman Brigadier General Effie Defrin said.
He said: “We have gained experience in recent years, and we will act accordingly.”
One activist on board has said they are being followed by a drone – a month after another boat under the same flag was allegedly attacked by one.
In a video on social media, one of Greta’s shipmates said: “We can clearly see a drone to our left. It’s gaining on us a little bit.”
Organisers of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition say their voyage is “a non-violent, direct action to challenge Israel’s illegal siege”.
Ahead of the journey, Thunberg said through tears: “we are doing this because, no matter what odds we are against, we have to keep trying.
“Because the moment we stop trying is when we lose our humanity.
“And no matter how dangerous this mission is, it’s not even near as dangerous as the silence of the entire world in the face of the live-streamed genocide.”
Israel rejects any accusation it is conducting a genocide and says the accusations are an anti-Semitic “blood libel”.
Israel is, instead, aiming to wipe out the terror group Hamas which conducted the bloody October 7, 2023, massacre killing 1,200 people and taking 250 hostage.
Hamas is accused of using innocent Palestinian civilians as shields and holding aid meant for them to ransom.

US Senator Lindsey Graham has slammed the flotilla saying: “Hope Greta and her friends can swim!”
Negotiations are ongoing to find peace in the strip, with Israel last week signing up to a US proposal.
Israel has paused aid delivery after soldiers opened fire on people heading toward an aid site.
Gaza health officials, the Red Cross and the U.N. rights office said 27 people were killed on Tuesday, and witnesses blamed Israeli forces.
Israels military said it fired near people it described as suspects who it said approached its forces and ignored warning shots.
It says it is looking into reports of casualties.
The UN has warned that Gaza had become “the hungriest place on Earth”.
It said the territory’s entire population was at risk of famine.
It comes after reports that the chief, who was also one of the October 7 masterminds, had likely been killed in an Israeli airstrike on May 13.
Israel appears to have successfully eliminated Sinwar Jr by bombing what it said was Hamas’ command centre under the European Hospital in the southern Gaza Strip.
Will there be peace in Gaza?
Terror group Hamas has not agreed with the latest US proposal for peace in the strip – whereas Israel has.
Hamas has said that it is ready to release hostages in a bid to end the war in Gaza.
The militants said they would release ten living hostages and 18 bodies in return for Israel’s release of a number of Palestinian prisoners.
Hamas said: “This proposal aims to achieve a permanent ceasefire, (Israeli) withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and ensure the flow of aid to our people and families.”
There was no immediate response from Israel to the statement.

THOUSANDS of taxpayers have had their online accounts locked and login details deleted after “organised crime fishing” scams targeted HMRC in a £47million fraud sting.
Up to 100,000 personal tax accounts were shut down after it detected unauthorised access by criminal gangs in an elaborate bid to extract repayments from the tax authority – not from individuals.

GettySecurity systems detected unauthorised access to some accounts[/caption]
Officials told MPs that the threat, which has not been classified as a cyber attack, was carried out over an extended period last year by multiple crime syndicates running phishing campaigns.
Angela McDonald, deputy chief executive of HMRC, told the Treasury Committee: “At the moment, they’ve managed to extract repayments to the tune of £47 million. Now that is a lot of money and it’s very unacceptable.”
The tax office said the breach was identified nearly a year ago but it has only now begun informing affected customers by letter.
Letters are being sent from today until June 25.
Anyone hit will need to re-register for online services with new Government Gateway credentials.
In a statement, HMRC said: “We have written to affected customers and taken action to protect these accounts.”
“This was an attempt to claim money from HMRC, not an attempt to take any money from you,” the statement added.
The agency said it has locked down affected accounts, deleted login details to prevent future unauthorised access, removed incorrect information from tax records, and checked to ensure no other details were changed.
John-Paul Marks, the newly appointed HMRC chief executive, told MPs: “It’s about 0.2% of the PAYE population, around 100,000 people, who we have written to, are writing to, to notify them that we detected activity on their PAYE account.”
Asked to confirm this affected individuals not companies, Marks replied: “That’s right, individuals. To be clear, no financial loss to those individuals.
“This was organised crime fishing for identity data outwith of HMRC systems.”
He also revealed that the criminal probe into the breach has included “jurisdictions outside the UK” and led to “some arrests last year.”
HMRC’s phone lines were also plunged into chaos today as a major system outage knocked out all call centres — just as worried taxpayers may be trying to call.
Anyone dialling HMRC is currently met with a recorded message stating: “This phone line is temporarily unavailable due to technical difficulties but normal service will resume as soon as possible.”
Marks said: “Something has disrupted those telephony lines and expecting them to be back up and available in the morning.”
McDonald added: “The system will be up and running by tomorrow morning.”
Anyone concerned about their account is urged to wait for the letter or email the Fraud Prevention Centre at FraudPreventionCentre@hmrc.gov.uk.
Back in March 2022, HMRC had warned of a rising wave of phishing attacks seeking Government Gateway logins to file bogus tax refund claims.
Despite the breach, HMRC stressed: “This was not a cyber security breach… HMRC is always facing these kinds of attempts on the organisation, it is a constant battle.”

However, Napoli are unlikely to be able to repeat the trick this time around, with the Daily Mail reporting Martinez is more than happy at Old Trafford and has no desire to move.
Prior to his injury, the 27-year-old had established himself as a key part of Ruben Amorim’s defence and is seen as one of the experienced leaders within the United squad.

While Martinez may not join, however, Napoli could have more success trying to sign Alejandro Garnacho who has fallen out of favour with Amorim.
The Serie A side were interested in signing Garnacho in January but were unable to reach an agreement with United at the time.
