Brig. Gen. Donald N. Yates, Chief, Air Weather Service, 1947, and later,
Deputy Director of Defense for Research and Engineering. Crashed saucer
theorists contend Yates participated in a conspiracy by confirming the
weather balloon explanation for the mysterious debris. They also contend
that the debris recovered by the rancher was transported to Andrews AAF,
MD (near Washington, DC), to be examined by high government officials
including the President. In reality, Andrews AAF was the home of the
Army Air Forces Air Weather Service and would be a probable location
for debris, which contained components of weather equipment, to be iden-
tified. U.S. Air Force Photo.
