Roswell

we are going to see

more and more...

Of these visitors

from space.

And that before too long,

The evidence will be

incontroversial--

That you will have on your tv screens

and on your movie screens...

Concrete evidence that the ships are here

and that they are real...

And they're not fantastic things which

have been cooked up to make a movie.

we can say that

the recent sightings...

Are in no way connected with

any secret development...

By any agency

of the united states.

There's nothing

to hide at all.

The expression ''flying saucers''

is a catchall term...

For unusual lights

appearing in the sky.

we've been able

to explain them as hoaxes;

As erroneously identified

friendly aircraft;

As meteorological or

electronic phenomena;

Or as light aberrations.

None of the evidence

that l have examined...

would indicate

any proof at all...

That we are being visited

by extraterrestrials.

There is absolutely

no evidence.

we have not been

hiding anything.

Personally,

i'm convinced that...

There must be many, many

higher civilizations...

ln this enormous and incredibly

ancient universe of ours.

Doesn't feel like

30 years, does it?

Does to me.

we had some good times

under these skies.

Come on, mom.

Jan! Oh!

Are you gonna be here with--

we'll see each other later.

where have you been living?

oh, we're in

a small town in louisiana.

No, he's retired now.

hey, look,

they got us on television!

Turn that thing up,

will ya?

former military men

have gathered in roswell today...

For the 30th reunion

of the army's renowned 509.

- the 509! -dropping the a-bomb is not

all the 509 is famous for.

For more than six hours

in july of 1947,

The town of roswell was known

as the flying saucer capital of the world.

debris recovered from

a crash site in the desert...

was originally identified by army

intelligence officer majorjesse marcel...

As being from

a flying saucer.

But the party

didn't last too long,

Much to the embarrassment of the army

and in particular major marcel,

Shown here holding

what turned out to be...

A piece of aluminum foil

from a weather balloon.

l told you

this may happen.

l can handle it.we heard enough.

Turn that thing off.

Lewis?

Jesse. My god! l didn't know you'd

be here. l heard you weren't doing well.

Oh, yeah. Just a little something

about my chest.

l'm sorry.

well, you're here now.

what the hell else counts,

huh? how's, uh, vy? yeah.

Oh, she's fine. She's with me.

Yeah.

So is my son.

He drove us down.

He's a doctor now

in montana.

Not bad for an army brat.

No.

Lewis, could l talk to you

a little bit later?

Yeah. You're gonna be here

at the barbecue, right? no, l mean alone.

Let it go, jesse,

For your own sake.

welcome back to kjfl,

the voice of roswell.

General, you and i

were both here in 1947.

Oh, yeah. Let's talk a little bit

about U.F.O.S.

Now, the 509th ought to be remembered

for all the good things it did,

Not for one dumb,

stupid screwup.

Major marcel made a mistake.

Big deal. So what?

Sh*t happens.

Satisfied?

-jesse marcel.

-when it comes to U.F.O.S,

As far as i'm concerned,

it's a big bag of bullshit.

Out of the way! Here l come! The

man from outer space! End of story.

- take me to your leader, 509th!

Remember, you said you weren't gonna

get back into this.

Seems to me that

i never got out of it.

Oh, jesse, you promised.

Vy, l said i'd think about it.

That's all l said.

Dad, don't do this.

You made a deal.

Did i?

Hey, major, not gonna make too good

a night for flying, is it?

what are you talking about?

i love this kind of weather!

Little more wind,

i'll be airborne!

Hey, joe. Looks like a big one

coming up.

l wouldn't worry too much.

l got all the a-bombs battened down.

hi, dad.

what happened to the rabbit hut? l

brought them in so they wouldn't get all wet.

Uh-huh. why don't we put them in a box?

i did. They jumped out.

l mean a big box. we couldn't find

a big box.

Mm-hmm.

Sounds like something's come loose

up on the roof.

Yeah. what do you say we take a peek,

huh? yeah.

Come on.

Hey, dad, do soldiers fly

in weather like this?

- not if they don't have to.

- what if they have to?

- well, they try and fly around it.

- what if they can't?

well, if they can't, they just buckle up

and they fly straight through.

Really? wow.

jess?

Yeah.

l need a hand.

Oh, hey. Let me get this.

Come on!

what the hell's wrong with you?

Come on!

what in the hell--

lntelligence. Marcel.

Uh, yeah, this is deputy pritchard

down at the sheriff's office.

Yes, deputy.

what can l do for you?

well, sir, the sheriff thinks

maybe you should come on down,

'cause, you see, this here local rancherjust

brought in a whole lot of--

l don't know

what you'd call it,

But he claims it all

came down at his place,

And the sheriff thinks it might be

something you guys sent up.

Something, you know,

top secret.

- like a missile. - uh, right.

Like, say, maybe a missile.

Go ahead.

Go on, tell him.

But if it ain't,

lt's a flying saucer.

That's telling him.

Sir.

Major.

You got a second, colonel?

what?

ln private?

Listen, the sheriff called. Says a rancher--

Gentlemen.
