"Unfortunately raising the money needed became a problem and a few days turned into a few weeks, then a few months. This was made all the more difficult because the cameraman needed money for a family wedding. By now the cameraman was becoming very nervous and refused to take my calls. Each time I called, his wife would simply take a message. The story stops there until November of 1994 when with the money in hand I flew over without warning and tried; this time I succeeded.

"My impression of the cameraman is that he is totally genuine, he is an ordinary person who never really made a great deal of money in his life, has been married to the same woman for over 50 years and seems as stable as you could wish. I had the opportunity of going through his many old photo albums, his film collection, and personal papers. I am certain that the cameraman was everything he claims.

"I came away with 22 reels of film, 21 safety prints and one negative."

So, what do you think? This personal account was taken from Roswell Centre, where not only can you learn more about Roswell and Ray's harrowing adventures, but acquire an "uncut" copy of the footage (for 35 pounds, of course). In addition -- I chose not to edit the text. This is the text as it was written, and any grammatical errors were those made by an amatuer (I hope you understand what I'm implying ... ).
