60 Years Later, A Twist In Roswell Story
To most, the story that an alien spacecraft was recovered by government investigators near Roswell, N.M., 60 years ago Monday is just a myth. But last week an affidavit written by a former U.S. Army officer was published in a book called “Witness to Roswell.” Lt. Walter Haut, the public-relations officer at the Roswell base in 1947, died in December 2005 and left sworn testimony to be read only after his death. The text asserts that Haut was shown a metallic egg-shaped object, about 12 to 15 long and 6 feet across, that had no windows. He also said he saw the bodies of two dead “aliens,” each about four feet long, with large heads. Haut concluded: “I am convinced that what I personally observed was some kind of craft and its crew from outer space.” The 2007 Roswell UFO Festival will be held this week, Thursday through Sunday, in Roswell, N.M.

Radio program that detailed incident.
Roswell is now ancient history, but do we really know the truth?

Ah so you haven’t seen a copy. Just a posted scan of something that purports to be an affidavit?
Well as you say, you pays your money… etc

The copy is in the link. I don’t think the publishers would publish the book without checking the authenticity of the ‘evidence’ , but then the example of the Clifford Irving/Howard Hughes hoax immediately crossed my mind so I guess you pays your money and takes your choice.:D

Really?
A hard copy, duly signed and notarised?
Where was that then?

And what evidence do we have, other than that somebody publishing and trying to profit from a book about the incident says so, that this affidavit actually exists?Moggy
