Jesse Marcel
Intelligence major of the 509th Bomb Group; collected the Roswell debris in July 1947 and accompanied it to Fort Worth.
What is claimedIn 1978 he told Stanton Friedman the 'weather balloon' was a cover story; he described 'memory metal' and symbols. First witness of the case's revival.
Skeptical viewHe never mentioned bodies. His military record had documented exaggerations (he claimed to be a pilot with shoot-downs he did not have), so his testimony is treated with caution.
