The Roswell Report: Case Closed

Q: Did the redhead do all the talking, pretty much?
A: Pretty much. Except once in a while the sergeant would, you
know, chime in and make statements like that to other people in response to
the redhead. But mainly it was the redhead ...
Q: Was there a name tag?
A: Yes, sir, there was. His name was Armstrong. And I'm not
sure if I know that from having read it or know that from remembering it and
now being able to read it in my memory, or if someone said that to me. But
his name was Armstrong, it was right here on his uniform.
Q: But he chased you guys away pretty quick?
A: Yes, yes, he did.
And they herded us up like cattle and we were just up the arroyo,
back in the direction we came from, over the protest of this Dr. Buskirk who
said, "No, no, we've got to go the other way. We came from over there."
"I don't care where you came from, get your ass up the arroyo."
And they ran us up the arroyo and ...
Q: So you get to your car again?
A: Oh, right.
Now they took us up the arroyo and just over the hill we came
down, they broke us off and moved us up the hill.
Now this whole time, no one has ever frisked us down, no one has
ever checked our pockets to see if we picked up any of this material and this
girl, Agnes, still had that stuff in her pocket and some of the other students had
stuff. To my knowledge, up to that point, they had not been searched. Whether
they did so afterward, I don't know. They never searched us, ever. They ran us
back up the hill and when we got to where the car was parked, where dad had
parked the car up there, there's a jeep with a guy sitting in the back and there is
a mounted machine gun in the back of this jeep and all of these soldiers.
The jeep pulls out, we're told to get in the car, we follow the jeep, and the
soldiers go with us all the way back out to the highway. When we get back out to the
highway, they set us right there. They wouldn't let us out of the car. They wouldn't
let us move forward. I don't know whether they were making a decision or what.
When we got out to the highway, this place was absolutely full of
military personnel, military equipment. There was airplanes sitting out there
that they had landed on the highway.
Q: Did you see any airplanes when you were back at the site?
A: Yes, there was airplanes in the sky but nobody thought much
about. You know, I didn't think anything about it. I was used to airplanes being
in the sky, having been raised in Indianapolis, Indiana, the home of the Norden
bombsight, you know, the sky was always full of military aircraft at night.
And when we get back on to the highway, there's observation
aircraft, you know, high winged aircraft, and there's one, of what I know now
