A true story:

sign on UFO museum – Roswell NM

 

Once upon a time my Uncle Travis was a sheriff. He was a sheriff in Roswell, New Mexico. He was there when the UFO crashed in the area.

He was ordered (by the government) to never speak of what he saw or heard of the incident.

I don’t know if he ever did or not, because this happened in 1947, before I was even born. But this story has been in our family ever since.

I wish I’d have known so I could have asked about it more, but I was just a little kid when I would see him and my aunt and cousins. They’d drive to our Granny & Grand-dad’s house here to visit. They’d drive in the sheriff’s car, which looked really neat.

The cousins and I would have fun, either going bowling, or playing cards. The grown-ups would talk, and also play dominoes called 42. We’d see them at Christmas and other holidays.

Our family traveled to Roswell, NM to visit them too, once in awhile.

Still, nothing was said (that I ever heard first hand) about the UFO incident.

Now he has passed on, and there is no way to ask about it. So it remains a mystery in our family to this day. I do believe he knew the truth about it all, and that that truth was covered up for whatever reason.
