Randle & Schmitt, 'UFO Crash at Roswell'
Kevin Randle and Donald Schmitt's investigation arguing that a craft and bodies were recovered near Roswell in July 1947.
1991 CE · 33.95, -105.31 · status: disputed
The account
Randle, a military veteran, and Schmitt interviewed hundreds of people and proposed a new impact site and timeline. Randle later publicly withdrew support for some of the book's witnesses after they were exposed as unreliable, which is to his credit as an investigator.
The sceptical view
Key witnesses, such as Frank Kaufmann, were later discredited, and Schmitt's claimed credentials were found to be false; Mogul remains the mainstream explanation.
