A RETIRED US Air Force captain believes crucial words on a memo may hold the key to solving the Roswell UFO crash mystery.
Veteran researcher Kevin Randle, who has interviewed around 600 people over the past few decades in his search for answers around the mysterious case, says he has “eliminated all possible terrestrial explanations”.
An unknown object crashed in the New Mexico desert in July 1947 near Roswell sparking decades of intrigue.
Witnesses claim to have picked up bizarre materials from the craft with hieroglyphic writings on – while others claim to have seen dead aliens among the wreckage.
The military issued a press release on July 8, 1947, stating they had recovered a “flying disc” however this was quickly retracted and officials claimed the crash was a weather balloon flying a part of Project Mogul, a secret Cold War project.
Speaking on the 75th anniversary of Roswell, Randle told The Sun: “Well, Project Mogul wasn't really a weather balloon, it was designed to spy on the Soviet Union, it would lift a microphone into the atmosphere so that if there was a detonation of atomic weapon, the microphone would pick it up. And they would know in the United States that the Soviet Union had detonated an atomic weapon.

“It was made up of weather balloons and rawin targets – a type of radar.
“What they've said officially is that the Roswell crash was a weather balloon and rawin target from this experiment being conducted New Mexico.
“And what I discovered is that while rawin targets were a part of the experiments conducted on the east coast, when they got to New Mexico, they didn't use those targets.
“And therefore there wasn't the metallic debris that shows up in the picture sent out at the time, which clearly was a weather balloon and a rawin target.
“We know they weren't using rawin targets when they were in New Mexico. So where did that rawin target come from? That kind of points the finger at this being a government hoax to explain away the Roswell case.”
Author Randle, who wrote a book named Understanding Roswell, said that all possible earthly explanations to explain the crash had been debunked – proving that the government explanation was a lie.

“What we can say with authority is that something fell at Roswell,” he said.
“We have eliminated all the terrestrial explanations. The air force helped us out when they did their investigation in the mid 1990s they did the same thing we did. Was it an aircraft accident? We couldn't find any. Was it a missile from White Sands? No, there wasn't a log in the timeframe. Was it some kind of atomic experiment? Well, the Air Force said, no, they couldn't find anything, which is what we found.
“We'd gone to all these places. The only thing they could find, they said, was Project Mogul and we can eliminate Project Mogul.
Alien spacecraft
“So we have no terrestrial explanation, which is not to say some classified document may show up that shows it was really something else and something much more mundane than an alien spacecraft, but we haven't found that and we've looked for years and years and years.”
Randle, who served in the Air Force and National Guard, believes the key to solving the case once and for all is a mystery memo which can be seen in a black and white photograph sent out on the news wires at the time.
The grainy memo appears to say the words “victims of the crash” and is held in the photograph by Brigadier General Roger Ramey, at the time the commanding officer of the 8th Air Force in Roswell.
Secret memo
Ramey is holding the piece of paper slightly turned away from the camera but on which some words can be read using technology while others seem to be obscured.
“The Ramey memo could be the key to this whole thing," Randle said.
“Ramey was holding the memo in his hand when he was photographed with the debris in his office.
“And what's interesting is we know when the picture was transmitted over the wire, we know who took it and we can see Ramey is holding the document in his hand.
“So we pretty much have the provenance nailed down.
“There's words in the document when you blow it up, that you can read.
'Victims of the wreck'
“Some people interpret the critical line as saying ‘victims of the wreck’
“Well ‘victims of the wreck’ takes it out of the realm of a weather balloon but it's kind of an interpretation of what you see.
“When I look at the document, it says victims of the wreck but I also can see it saying other things, it's that kind of faces in the clouds type phenomenon.”
Randle says he was involved in an investigation into the memo for a History Channel TV show in which experts used equipment to peel away layers of the negative but they still couldn’t confirm exactly what it said.
He believes that developments in artificial intelligence could be the key to finally solving the mystery of what the memo says.
“We’ve done all we can in regards to the investigation but the Ramey memo could be key.
“The consensus seems to be that they're going to have to apply artificial intelligence to it, to see if it can interpret this thing in some fashion, but artificial intelligence, isn't capable of doing that yet.

“We’ve applied all the technology we can and at one point, we couldn't read as much of it as we can today, but the technology has taken as far as it can take it.
“But there is a possibility that AI will develop to the point where it can finally give us an answer.”
