On July 8, 1947, Colonel William Blanchard--the commanding officer of
the 509th Bomb Group in Roswell, New Mexico--officially announced to the
world that the U.S. Army had "captured a flying saucer."

Within hours, the story was quashed by Brigadier General Roger M. Ramey,
commander of the Eighth Air Force in Fort Worth, Texas, who told the
press that the reported "flying saucer" was nothing more than the
scattered remains of a military target balloon.  Ramey claimed that the
officers of the 509th had been caught up in the excitement of the moment
and simply misidentified the debris.

Ramey's explanation was the last word on the Roswell flying saucer until
1978, when Jesse Marcel, a former intelligence officer of the 509th,
revealed that he was the man who had picked up the debris.  Marcel said,
"I was certain ... that it was not a weather balloon, not an aircraft,
nor a missile.  It was something else ... we didn't know what it was."

The intensive investigation that exploded the Roswell coverup was
conducted by Donald R. Schmitt, Director of Special Investigations for
the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies, and Kevin D. Randle, a former
Air Force intelligence officer.  For more than two years they travelled
across the country and interviewed over three hundred witnesses in order
to discover the truth about the crash at Roswell.  Their conclusion,
reported in their recent book UFO CRASH AT ROSWELL, is that a vehicle of
extraterrestrial manufacture did indeed crash in the New Mexico desert
in 1947, just as the Army had originally claimed.

This month, MICAP, Inc., an international UFO research organization
headquartered in the Denver area, will feature Roswell investigator
Kevin Randle at a pair of public lectures to be held in Boulder and
Denver.  This illustrated presentation will reveal Randle & Schmitt's
latest findings in the ongoing investigation of the Roswell crash.
Included for the first time will be a rare audio recording of the actual
1947 radio broadcast announcing the recovery of a flying saucer near
Roswell.

Kevin D. Randle is a professional investigative journalist with previous
training in military intelligence.  He has been studying the UFO
phenomenon for more than twenty years and has published three books and
more than fifty magazine articles on the subject.  He was one of the
first persons outside the government to examine the files of Project
Blue Book, the official U.S. Air Force investigation of UFOs.  As a
former member of APRO (the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization), and
currently as a special investigator for CUFOS (the J. Allen Hynek Center
for UFO Studies), he has researched UFO landing-trace reports, occupant
sightings, and abduction cases.  His two previous books--THE OCTOBER
SCENARIO and THE UFO CASEBOOK--established him as one of the premier
authors in the field.  His latest work, UFO CRASH AT ROSWELL, was co-
authored with Donald Schmitt and published last year by Avon Books.

Kevin Randle regularly appears on radio and television, and has been
featured on NBC's UNSOLVED MYSTERIES.  He  will be available for
interviews in the Denver/Boulder area on October 28th and 29th.  Contact
Michael Corbin at (303) 431-8796 to make arrangements.
