UFO Whistleblowers [Vol.1]
Two witnesses. Walter Haut, the Roswell base's 1947 public information officer, gave a 1993 affidavit on the flying-disc release and a sealed 2002 affidavit, released in 2007, describing a craft and two bodies in Building 84; Gerb adds the McQuiddy and DuBose affidavits. Stephen Lovekin, a White House Army Signal Agency technician in 1959-61, told the Disclosure Project he was shown a metal piece from the 1947 crash and that Eisenhower "lost control" of the UFO matter to corporations. Gerb notes Greer's "Brigadier General" title for Lovekin was a State Guard rank.
