Person
Mark Rodeghier
Scientific director of the Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS), founded by J. Allen Hynek, and a long-time Roswell and close-encounter researcher. On Reality Check he recounts his own interview with former CIC agent Bill Rickett about the Roswell debris, which he rates 'rock solid', and says he helped discredit the body stories of Glenn Dennis and Frank Kaufmann.

He interviewed Bill Rickett in person near Tampa, with Rickett's wife confirming what Rickett had told her in 1947 (see case/roswell). The debris story is 'rock solid'; the body stories carry nowhere near as much substance, and he helped discredit Glenn Dennis and Frank Kaufmann.RoswellReality Check Rewind: Mark Rodeghier (CUFOS) on Roswell, Bill Rickett and close encountersfirsthandSourced, unconfirmedMark Rodeghier
