"The cameraman was in his eighties seemed a genuine enough person, he explained that from 1942 to 1952 he worked as a cameraman for the Army Airforce and special forces, that during this time he was sent to many places and filmed many events including the tests that were part of the Manhattan Project (Atomic bomb testing White Sands).

"He explained that on June 2nd 1947 he received an order directly from General Mc Mullan stating there had been a crash and to go immediately to White Sands and film everything he could. He was instructed to stay with the material recovered until it was dispatched, further he had authority over and above the on-site commander. The cameraman only reported to McMullan.

"The cameraman flew to Roswell, then was taken by road to the site he describes as being a dried up small lake bed.

"After hearing the story I was taken to the cameraman's house and viewed the footage. The cameraman had one reel of film that he was able to show on an old projector. He moved the projector over to a wall and projected the image on the wall itself.

"The footage was and is quite incredible, from his house I telephoned Kodak to ask their advice in checking the film. I was given the codes which corresponded with the codes on the film.

"I quickly confirmed a cash offer subject to further checks and the cameraman accepted. I said I would require a few days and a small sample of the film to take back. The cameraman gave me around two feet of leader from the film itself which I brought back to the UK.
