Weaver Interview (CNN): No Dummy Tests Until Early 50's

As it is well known, the USAF has completely reversed its position
concerning the alien bodies that some witnesses have related to the
Roswell crash. In a new report, due to be released in a week, the Air
Force takes their testimony at face value. They just mistook the date
by at least three years. For what they saw was not alien bodies,
according to the Pentagon, but dummies dropped in parachute tests in
the early fifties.

The report is edited by Colonel Weaver from USAF Intelligence?, and
this morning at 8.26 local Danish time (GMT + 2 hours) CNN broadcast
the first interview that Weaver has accepted, with comments by CNN and
Elaine Douglass from the Mutual UFO Network.

According to the feature Colonel Weaver has discovered that the bodies
"were really vinyl plastic dummies that dropped from balloons to test
the impact from high altitude parachute jumps."

Full transcript:

Weaver: "And these dummies, of which there were several different
types, had these kinds of non-specific features. They were dressed in
flight suits, and there's a good table of comparison as well. There are
lots of photographs in this book that will show the comparison between
the people who claimed they saw something strange and what was actually
being tested in the desert at that time."

CNN: "But these tests didn't take place until the early 1950's. Three
years after the Roswell sightings. Colonel Weaver, who edited the
report, says the Pentagon believes witnesses simply got the year wrong.
UFO researchers don't buy that."

Douglass: "I think it's nonsense. It's absolute nonsense, but I don't
blame...eh...really fault the Air Force people that are putting out
this absolute nonsense because they don't have a choice. They have not
been told the truth. They are not in the loop."

CNN: "The Air Force report comes as yet another explanation appears in
Popular Mechanics, that the Roswell wreckage was an incendiary balloon
piloted by Japanese. With the latest flurry of UFO sightings in Arizona
neither Douglass nor Weaver believe the new Air Force report will end
the speculation."

Weaver: "I...do (sic!)...certainly not gonna dissuade everybody, and
the report was never intended just to finally prove to everybody that
they were wrong."

Douglass: "Roswell is not going to go away because the UFOs are not
going away. Apparently!"
