35-year CIA veteran Chase Brandon, served as a covert operations officer for the CIA for 25 years. He was then assigned as a official liaison on the director’s staff where he spent his final 10 years with the agency. It was during his time as a director (in the mid 1990’s) that Brandon walked into Langley’s Historical Intelligence Collection section and began browsing around. The Historical Intelligence Collection is tightly secured and few CIA personnel have access to the vault. As Brandon was shuffling through the boxes he noticed one box with a single hand-written word on it – “Roswell”. He examined the contents of the box and although he will not disclose specifically what was in the box (his security oath prevents disclosure), what he saw changed his perception of the Roswell incident. He is now convinced beyond a doubt that an extraterrestrial craft crashed landed in Roswell.
Brandon stated:
“It was not a damn weather balloon — it was what it was billed when people first reported it. It was a craft that clearly did not come from this planet, it crashed and I don’t doubt for a second that the use of the word ‘remains’ and ‘cadavers’ was exactly what people were talking about.”
As for what the box contained, Brandon will only say:
“Some written material and some photographs, and that’s all I will ever say to anybody about the contents of that box. But it absolutely, for me, was the single validating moment that everything I had believed, and knew that so many other people believed had happened, truly was what occurred.”
