AN investigator found ‘indestructible debris not made by human hands’ at the ‘alien’ Roswell crash site, his private journals reveal.
In July 1947, a UFO reportedly hurtled into the ranch in New Mexico - and the most famous alien legend of them all was born.
Soon after the military sensationally announced in a press release that the remains of a crashed flying saucer had been discovered in the desert.
The following day, however, the statement was retracted, and it was said to be instead a damaged US Air Force balloon.
The incident has become one of the most discussed and controversial UFO theories in history.
Jesse Marcel, an intelligence officer of the 509th Bombardment Group at Roswell Army Air Field, was tasked with investigating the crash.
Now, more than 30 years on from his death on June 24 1986, his grandchildren - Jesse Marcel III and John Marcel - claim he was ‘ordered’ to deny what was actually discovered at the crash site.
Speaking to the his grandson Jesse Marcel III said: “He was made to be the fall guy.
“He was the head of intelligence in Roswell, New Mexico and followed his orders.
“In essence, he was at the heart of the story and heart of the conspiracy or cover-up.”
The wreckage was first discovered by WW ‘Mac’ Brazel, who spotted ‘odd pieces of metal and debris’ scattered across Foster Ranch.
Jesse Marcel III said: “Even animals had a sense about whatever it was and did not want to go around it.
“He (Marcel) had examined the debris in the field and determined it was not made by human hands.”
Pieces of debris were taken to the Roswell base where a team tried to figure out what they were from and the material.
According to Marcel, some beans were etched with ‘alien writing’.
Grandson John Marcel said: “He said there were glass fibers and fiber optics that may have been from the computers on the ship.
“When my grandfather came home with the debris, our dad looked through it with a shining light and saw a purple light inside with a symbol of a seal balancing a ball on its nose.”
Jesse added: “My grandfather said ‘you might be the first person on Earth to look at alien writing.”
The fascinating diary will be revealed for the first time in a three-part series ‘Roswell: The First Witness’ on the History Channel.
The show, which airs tomorrow, follows the investigation of the Marcel children, along with former CIA operative Ben Smith.
The claim comes after extraordinary footage emerged reportedly showing an alien creature being carted away on a stretcher from the scene.
