23 октября 2026 года Военное министерство обнародовало седьмой пакет рассекреченных документов по НЛО. Среди этих материалов находится письменное показание под присягой от 2002 года, в котором описывается аппарат яйцевидной формы и покрытые чем-то тела, находившиеся внутри него ...

On 23 October 2026 the Department of War put out its seventh set of declassified UAP records. Buried in the batch is a 2002 sworn statement that describes an egg-shaped craft and covered bodies held under guard at Roswell Army Air Field in July 1947. The name is redacted, yet the details match a known affidavit from the base public information officer. Official studies from the Air Force and the later All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office still say no solid proof of alien recovery exists. Readers can weigh the fresh government paper against the long record of denials.
What the Seventh Release Contains
The files sit on the public site war.gov/UFO. President Trump ordered the wider release earlier in 2026. Prior batches covered older film studies, recent infrared clips of triangles and orbs, and notes on places such as Skinwalker Ranch. This latest drop includes historical air-intelligence reports, a 2010 Utah ranch paper, and the redacted Roswell-related affidavit. Media outlets that checked the document against earlier published text say the wording lines up with the sealed statement signed by Walter G. Haut on 26 December 2002. Haut died in 2005. The statement first appeared in a 2007 book. It was not new to long-time researchers, but it is now part of an official government archive.

What the Witness Wrote
According to the affidavit text that has circulated since 2007 and matches the redacted file, the officer attended a staff meeting at 7:30 a.m. on 8 July 1947. Base commander Col. William Blanchard and others discussed two sites. One was a debris field roughly 75 miles northwest. The second, about 40 miles north of town, held the main craft and bodies. Samples of thin, strong foil-like metal were passed around the table. No one at the meeting could identify the material.
Later the same morning the officer was taken to Building 84, also called Hangar P-3, on the east side of the tarmac. The building was heavily guarded. From a distance he saw a metallic object about 12 to 15 feet long, roughly six feet high, and egg-shaped. It had no windows, wings, tail, or landing gear. He also saw a couple of bodies under a canvas tarp. Only the heads stuck out. The heads looked larger than normal. The shape under the canvas matched the size of a ten-year-old child. Later someone indicated the height was about four feet. A temporary morgue had been set up. The statement ends with the line: “I am convinced that what I personally observed was some type of craft and its crew from outer space.”

The full known text of the 2002 affidavit appears in public archives such as this scanned copy. The government version redacts certain names.
The Press Release and the Balloon Story
Haut was the man who wrote and distributed the 8 July 1947 press release that said the base had recovered a “flying disc.” Hours later Brig. Gen. Roger Ramey in Fort Worth told reporters the material was a weather balloon. The affidavit describes the staff discussion of how to handle public interest. One idea was to highlight the less important ranch debris so attention would stay away from the northern site. Major Jesse Marcel flew material to Carswell Army Air Field in Texas. The statement claims the real pieces were later swapped for balloon debris.
Haut’s earlier public accounts, including a 1993 affidavit, focused on the press-release role and on what Marcel told him. He did not claim in those earlier statements to have seen the craft or bodies himself. The 2002 version adds the hangar visit. His daughter later explained that a researcher helped draft the longer statement after years of talks, that Haut reviewed every line, and that a notary and witness were present. Critics note the expansion and the involvement of people already convinced of an alien crash.
Official Explanations Over the Years
The Air Force looked at Roswell twice in the 1990s. The 1994 report concluded the debris matched a balloon train from Project Mogul, a secret program that used high-altitude balloons to listen for Soviet nuclear tests. The 1997 follow-up said reports of bodies most likely mixed up later events: anthropomorphic test dummies dropped from balloons in the 1950s, plus unrelated aircraft accidents. No 1947 military records showed recovery of non-human remains.
In March 2024 the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office released its historical review of U.S. government UAP work from 1945 onward. The report found “no verifiable evidence” that any sighting was extraterrestrial technology or that the government had recovered alien craft or bodies. It specifically addressed Roswell by pointing back to the earlier Air Force conclusions. AARO has continued to state that most reports resolve as ordinary objects once better data arrive, and that claims of secret reverse-engineering programs do not hold up under its review of records and interviews.
The 2024 AARO historical report is available through official channels and has been widely summarized by outlets such as Stars and Stripes and the Department of War news page.
A Separate Claim from a Former Task-Force Head
Days before the October file drop, Jay Stratton published a memoir titled Out of the Shadows. Stratton was the first director of the Pentagon’s UAP Task Force. In the book he passes on a story from an unnamed source: a craft that broke into pieces near Roswell, with non-human bodies recovered. Some were already dead. Others, the source said, were alive for a time but later died after refusing food or contact. Stratton does not claim he saw the recovery himself. No photos, medical notes, or new documents have been released to support the account. AARO’s prior findings stand in direct contrast.
The timing has drawn attention because Stratton’s book and the declassified affidavit reached the public within the same week. Neither provides physical material or contemporaneous 1947 photographs.
Why the File Matters Even Without New Proof
The government has long said the 1947 event was a balloon and that later body stories were memory mix-ups. Releasing a redacted version of Haut’s 2002 statement does not change that position. It does put a sworn claim by the officer who handled the original press release into an official archive. Researchers who already treated the affidavit as important now point to the fact that it survived declassification review. Skeptics note that the statement was written 55 years later, expanded earlier accounts, and contains no independent verification of what was under the tarp.
Questions left open include the exact identity confirmation in the redacted file, what became of any remains if they existed, and the precise contents of Building 84 after the July days. The file itself does not answer them. The Department of War continues to release unresolved cases under the same transparency order. Readers can download the documents from the official site and compare the wording with the long-public affidavit text.
What Comes Next
More tranches are expected. AARO keeps investigating new reports. The Roswell case has sat in the same place for decades: one set of late witness statements on one side, official balloon and dummy explanations on the other. The October 2026 release adds the detail that the government itself has now placed one of those statements in its public UAP collection. Whether that moves the needle depends on what further records, if any, appear in later batches.
Primary sources for this report include the Department of War UAP release page, the known text of the 2002 Haut affidavit, the 1994 and 1997 Air Force Roswell reports, the 2024 AARO Historical Record Report, and contemporaneous news coverage of the 23 October 2026 file drop by outlets such as The Epoch Times and others that examined the redacted document against the earlier published affidavit.
Original source material: Department of War seventh PURSUE release, 23 October 2026, available at https://www.war.gov/UFO/. Matching 2002 affidavit text has been public since the 2007 book Witness to Roswell.
Note for readers and fact-checkers: The affidavit is a late sworn statement, not a 1947 contemporaneous record. The government version is redacted. Official Air Force and AARO reviews have found no verifiable physical evidence of non-human recovery at Roswell. Claims remain unverified. Readers should consult the primary documents themselves.
