"Nuclear Physicist" Stanton T. Friedman has attempted to document both the date and the location of a second supposed alien spaceship crash in New Mexico by linking the event to a visit to New Mexico by the commanding general of the Air Materiel Command (AMC). Lt. Gen . Nathan F. Twining's visit
dated June 5, 1947, which gives the reason for Twining 's visit. The document, a letter from Army Air Forces Headquarters to the Commanding General, AMC, requested that confidential orders be issued that would place Gen. Twining on temporary duty at Sandia Base , Albuquerque , New Mexico, to attend

The release of the GAO Roswell report prompted the CUFOS1UR propaganda machine to crank out yet another load of Grade A crapola, authored by Mark Rodeghier and Mark Chesney (the "Marks Brothers" hereafter), two CUFOS officials who regularly use the pages of the Irrational UFO Reporter (!UR) to flaun

CUFOS ' official policy seems to be to embrace the most sensational interpretation possible , and following that policy, the Marks Brothers conclude that the destruction of these messages is consistent with a cover-up.

Being a multi-talented Blowhard , Firedman doesn 't limit himself to just one medium . In a letter he faxed to some unsuspecting soul (apparently a member of a law firm) in California several months ago , he shared more of his paranoid ravings that don 't even make for interesting fiction .
