Senior CIA Official Claims Knowledge of Roswell-Alien Cover-up
Dear colleagues,
On 23 June, while speaking on Coast to Coast AM, the CIA’s former liaison to the entertainment industry, Chase Brandon, made extraordinary claims about the Roswell incident, declaring:
“I also absolutely know as I sit here talking to you that there was a craft from beyond this world that crashed at Roswell, that the military picked up remains of not just the wreckage, but cadavers.” Brandon then recounted an occasion when he saw direct proof of the alien nature of Roswell within the CIA’s own Historical Intelligence Collection (HIC).
Based on what he claims to have seen in the HIC, Brandon stated unequivocally: “100 percent, guaranteed… Roswell happened. There was a craft, absolutely cadavers,” but added, “Beyond that, I have no idea where anything else went.” Brandon – who spent 25 years in the Agency’s elite Clandestine Service – also sought to absolve the CIA of any on-going complicity in an active cover-up of the Roswell incident.
Truth or fiction, Brandon’s statements are significant for the fact that he is, to date, the most senior CIA officer – former or serving – to have claimed direct knowledge of an alleged Roswell/alien cover-up.
Propaganda expert Dr Matthew Alford and I have co-authored an in-depth article examining Brandon’s statements from every angle. The article includes exclusive responses from former high-level government officials and from the CIA itself. This story is yet to break in the mainstream media.
The article is attached to this email in Word document form. I have also just published it on my blog, Silver Screen Saucers:

Brandon Chase Interview Transcript (videotaped interview excerpt):
“I absolutely know as I sit here talking to you that there was a craft from beyond this world that crashed at Roswell. The military picked up remains of not just the wreckage, but cadavers. All of that was made public for a short while and then when the War Department – this was before the Pentagon and Department of Defense existed – but some 18 hours later when people back in Washington thought about what had been said and admitted to, the said, ‘Oh, oh, this is not going to work.’ Then the balloon thing came in and the big general came in and all the people down in Roswell suddenly they were transferred. You know, this thing went into cold storage. And why has it stayed that way?
Well, it stayed that way because back then people like Mac Brazel and Sheriff Wilcox and everybody else that knew what they knew because they had seen what they saw and smelled what they smelled with the decaying cadavers, they all bought into the notion that when the government says, ‘Don’t talk.’ You don’t talk. And when the government implies that it can bring pressures to bear if you do talk and they explain to you what those are, people with any degree of sense and concern about their family’s well being and their financial nature, their property and everything else, they shut up and don’t say anything.
And then the passage of time takes care of most of it because it sort of went away until many, many years later and underwent that miraculous revitalization. Now everybody knows about Roswell and everybody is torn between the evidence provided by the government – that it was weather balloons and other evidence that people continue to find and dredge up that says, ‘No, damn it, something really amazing happened there!’
And in all of it, the way the Air Force handled it early on when the FBI was involved; the CIA’s (later) involvement to include a study done on the UFOs published in our own studies in intelligence – an internal CIA publication, which was actually done in an unclassified form – a lot of that talks about the perception of reality, the misdirection of other peoples’ perception by suggesting new realities. It’s propaganda. It’s Machiavellian.
[ Editor’s Note: Machiavellian means political expediency is placed above morality and the use of craft and deceit to maintain the authority and carry out the policies of a ruler with subtle or unscrupulous cunning, deception, expediency, or dishonesty.]
I was able to get in the HIC to see about filming a little bit in there and always had an escort. But I was in there once by myself and I went into the side room and looked at all those boxes and they all had really, really interesting hand-written notes in that little title window as to what was in the boxes. And I could have still been there today looking at those boxes, but I only had a chance to glance at one and I pulled the one down that said ‘Roswell.’ And I opened it up and looked inside and cannot, will not under any imaginable set of circumstances tell you what I saw in there specifically.
There were materials; there were papers and other items. John, 100% guaranteed in my heart and soul, I say, ‘Roswell happened.’ There was a craft and absolutely cadavers. Beyond that, I have no idea where anything else went. You know, how has it stayed a cover-up? The same way that all of the other pieces of evidence about any conspiracy. They get lost. They get packed away, pushed back in corners. Old people with historical continuity leave an organization. New people come in representing a new generation where nobody looks in a file. Nobody goes through a safe. There’s nothing in a box. Everything is on a computer screen and everybody has 14.5 inch biceps and sunken chests, sallow-looking faces, and they type like blue blazes and they open more goddamn windows on a computer and do more manipulations than you can imagine. It’s a different world.
So all of the stuff that could be anywhere for anybody to look at is – nobody knows where it is! And all the people who knew there was any stuff to look at have all gone on to meet their deity. The point is that somewhere there is whatever still remains of the remains! And it’s very clear to anybody who looks at any of the evidence to include now with high tech. I’ve just learned from somebody that something – I’m not sure who was holding it, if it was Jesse Marcel or somebody holding the little pieces of metal and a piece of paper in his hand. Now they’ve gone in with aliasing and 3-D stenography and all sorts of other things with beefing up signal strength and pulling information from the background. They see words like ‘cadavers’ and ‘remain’ on some of the paperwork in those old 1947 photos.
So, look, I don’t know where all this stuff is, but I know that Roswell happened!”
