On July 6 of this year, Silver Screen Saucers published the
world’s first in-depth article examining statements made June 23 on Coast to Coast AM by former CIA
operative Chase Brandon concerning the Roswell incident of 1947. The story was
picked up by the mainstream media two days later and has since become a major
talking point within and beyond the UFO community. You can read our original
article here. Brandon’s statements and the
media’s response to them are also summarised in the opening 15 minutes of this
recent Mysterious Universe podcast and in
the latest episode of Open Minds’ Spacing Out...
On July 8, I was interviewed as a guest
on The Conspiracy Show with Richard
Syrett, along with Grant Cameron and Victor Viggiani.
We discussed Brandon’s Roswell statements for around an hour and we each had
chance to clarify our individual positions on why this former CIA man said what
he said in the way that he said it. The interview begins at 55:07 here (NOTE: my grainy audio is cleaned
up after the first commercial break).
On July 11, Silver Screen Saucers published an
official statement by the CIA’s Office
of Public Affairs denying Brandon’s Roswell claims. The CIA was responding to a
written enquiry submitted by this author and co-signed by Dr Matthew Alford,
Grant Cameron, and Victor Viggiani. Read the CIA’s response here.
The following night, on July 12, Chase
Brandon again appeared on Coast to Coast AM, this time being
interviewed by George Noory (his original host was John B. Wells). This new
interview is every bit as fascinating (and frustrating) as the first. Grant
Cameron of PresidentialUFO.com has begun the task of transcribing the most salient
points made by Brandon in this new interview and has already published a brief
summary on his website.
You can listen to the new Chase Brandon
interview in full right here (begins at 38:20)...
Of particular note in this interview,
host George Noory asks Brandon if the CIA has ever used Hollywood – and
specifically filmmaker Steven Spielberg – as a conduit for delivering to the
public factual UFO information disguised as fiction. In this short audio
clip (simply click ‘download the file’ to stream the audio)
courtesy of Giuliano Marinkovic, Brandon’s uncharacteristically long pause
before he essentially dodges the question speaks
volumes.
On his website, Grant Cameron notes:
“If Brandon is the new CIA Falcon every word he says should be studied very
carefully.” I agree. And if you’re unfamiliar with the story of the Falcon, you
can put that to rights over at PresidentialUFO.com.

Brandon-Roswell story and further analysis of his statements, watch this
