Pentagon releases new UFO files detailing non-human bodies and mysterious egg-shaped craft inside guarded hangar

The Pentagon has released a new batch of declassified UFO documents, including a shocking eyewitness account detailing how the military recovered the wreckage of a spaceship and alien bodies.

The report made public on Friday included testimony from a military officer, whose name was redacted, who claimed he was present at the famous Roswell UFO incident in 1947 and was shown the spacecraft in a hangar known as 'Building 84.'

The alleged Roswell coverup has been one of the most famous UFO cases in history, with the military initially releasing a statement on July 8, 1947, saying a 'flying disc' had been recovered before changing their story to claim the wreckage came from a weather balloon. 

The officer is believed to be Roswell Army Air Force Base Public Information Officer Walter G Haut, who confirmed that the US had recovered an egg-shaped craft and multiple dead bodies from a New Mexico crash site in early July of that year.

'I am convinced that what I personally observed was some type of craft and its crew from outer space,' the witness said in a statement given in 2002 and kept secret by the Pentagon.

The officer added that this wreckage and the aliens were taken to a guarded hangar where he was allowed to see the craft, described as being roughly 12 to 15 feet long and six feet wide with a metallic surface.

It had no windows, wings, tail or landing gear, and was composed of a strange metal foil described as 'paper thin yet extremely strong.'

The bodies were placed under a canvas tarpaulin, but the witness report revealed their heads were larger than normal and they were about the same size as a ten-year-old child, standing approximately four feet in height.

The bombshell testimony came from a sealed affidavit signed by the witness on December 26, 2002, more than 55 years after the Roswell incident.

The US government has maintained since Roswell that there has never been any physical evidence recovered which proves that UFOs or extraterrestrials exist.

The surviving text in the heavily classified Pentagon document perfectly matches sworn public statements made by Haut, including the unique details only he has claimed after the Roswell crash.

Haut, who died in 2005, provided the same account to the International UFO Museum and Research Center in Roswell shortly before his passing, which was notarized in the presence of a museum visitor.

The report released on Friday detailed how a staff meeting was held on July 8 around 7.30am local time, which included several high-ranking officials, whose named were also removed by the Pentagon.

The meeting revealed that an extensive debris field was discovered in Lincoln County about 75 miles northwest of Roswell.

However, another site that was considered more important was found roughly 40 miles north of town, and included the the remains of the egg-shaped craft and the bodies.

'Samples of wreckage were passed around the table. It was unlike any material I had or have ever seen in my life. No one was able to identify the crash debris,' the witness wrote in the document released Friday.

According to the declassified file, the group discussed whether the US military to go public with the news of an alien crash landing on Earth.

One suggested plan was to publicize the ranch debris site northwest of Roswell to divert attention from the more important northern site, since civilians and the media were already involved.

Around 9.30am on July 8, the witness was ordered to write down a press release, dictated by the Roswell base commander, Colonel William Blanchard.

In the statement give to the press, the military revealed they had recovered a flying disc from a ranch northwest of Roswell and that Base intelligence officer Major Jesse Marcel would fly the material to military headquarters in Texas for further study.

Marcel is the officer famously seen in the iconic photograph holding the metallic material which the military later claimed was just a weather balloon.

The declassified report and Haut's public statements both revealed that he was then personally taken by Blanchard to see the UFO and alien remains which were being stored in a facility known as Building 84, or Hangar P-3.

'From a distance, I was able to see a couple of bodies under a canvas tarpaulin. Only the heads extended beyond the covering, and I was not able to make out any features,' Haut stated.

'The heads did appear larger than normal and the contour of the canvas suggested the size of a ten year old child.'

A temporary morgue was constructed to store the bodies at Roswell, but the declassified file did not reveal what happened to the alleged alien remains after Haut visited Building 84.

The report also revealed that Marcel claimed pieces of the UFO taken to Carswell Army Air Field in Texas were switched for debris from a weather balloon and radar kite while the intelligence officer was in a different room on the base.

'I would be allowed to make at least one visit to one of the recovery sites during the military cleanup. I would return to the base with some of the wreckage which I would display in my office,' the witness claimed.

There is no record of what happened the alleged UFO debris Haut claimed to have collected. The US government has never confirmed that debris was recovered or moved to classified facilities for research.

Friday's release by the Pentagon also included new images of an alleged UFO flying over the western US this year.

According to a report from the FBI made by two special agents, the object was seen around 7.23pm moving over an undisclosed mountain range.

The unnamed agents, apparently working at a secret surveillance station known as 'Observation Post 6' spotted the black triangle using a thermal camera as it was coming over the horizon to the west.

'We estimated the object’s wingspan at approximately nine to 15 feet, its depth at six to nine feet, and its thickness at one to two feet,' the agents revealed in a statement to the FBI.

The agents compared the triangle to a 'delta wing drone' but added that their heat-detecting camera showed the UFO was not hotter in any particular spot which would reveal an engine and did not give off any kind of exhaust trails like a man-made aircraft.
