Mac Brazel
Foreman of the Foster ranch near Corona, New Mexico; found the debris field that started the case.
What is claimedHe told the press what he found 'was nothing like a weather balloon'; the military held him for several days, which proponents read as pressure to silence him.
Skeptical viewHis own 1947 description (gray rubber, foil, balsa, flowered tape, ~2 kg) matches a Project Mogul train exactly.
