At that time, Brazel was unaware of the trend because he didn't have access to a phone or radio. After reporting the discovery to the local sheriff, the sheriff passed the information on to the U.S. Air Force. The Air Force initially released a statement and claimed that military personnel had recovered debris from a flying disc.Haut recalled that his superiors instructed him to leave and stay out of sight because his office was receiving an overwhelming number of calls from across the world. Before departing, he said he briefly entered a hangar where he saw a metallic, egg-shaped object along with two small, child-sized bodies with large heads covered with canvas tarpaulin. Haut said,"I am convinced that what I personally observed was some type of craft and its crew from outer space."Haut's affidavit claimed that the debris linked to the alleged UFO crash was removed from an office and later replaced with parts from a weather balloon and a radar kite. However, in 1978, a retired military officer challenged the weather balloon explanation and described it as recovered debris that might have belonged to extraterrestrials. His claim helped fuel a conspiracy theory that continued for decades.Haut also mentioned that he was permitted to visit at least one recovery site during the military’s cleanup operation. He revealed that later he brought some of the recovered wreckage back to the base and displayed it in his office.The affidavit included in the latest files had been partially redacted, with the names of Haut and several other military officials removed from the document. The account appeared within a 2008 report prepared by a contractor for the Defense Intelligence Agency.Read more: The UFO investigator offered a new theory about a strange creature.Also read: Avi Loeb explained how conclusive UFO data could be gathered.Follow Soap Central for more updates on entertainment.
