“Unlocking the Truth: Is a Secret Journal from an Air Force Officer the Key to Solving the Roswell Mystery?”
According to Live Science, Officer Marcel’s family revealed the existence of a secret journal that he had kept during investigations into the Roswell crash.

The crash-landing of the Roswell UFO was first discovered on the morning of July 3, 1947, by rancher Mac Brazel. Brazel found strange debris scattered across 200 square yards near a service road where he worked.
Brazel’s first description of the object in the press was that it was made of “papery material” layered with “shiny foil.” He also described pieces of lightweight wood and plastic. Some of the debris had weird symbols etched on them and spongy bits of rubber.
Brazel reported the discovery to the sheriff who passed on the information to the nearby airbase.
Marcel’s grandson Jesse told The Daily Mail, “He had examined the debris in the field and determined it was not made by human hands.”
If Marcel’s secret journal is authentic, it could be one of the first real clues behind the Roswell mystery which has essentially become lore, even among former members of the intelligence community.
“The government claimed they had recovered a UFO — they had a press release about it,” said Ben Smith, a former CIA operative and the lead investigator on the History Channel’s new show Roswell: The First Witness.

“No other government in the world has said ‘We have a spacecraft,’ and then the next day there’s another press release that says, ‘Never mind, it was just a weather balloon.’” Marcel’s alleged Roswell journal is the centerpiece of a History channel show.
