Original excerpt
Normally, I ignore many of these analyses of the Roswell case. Baker Overland just posted “I Found the REAL Roswell Crash site.” I was interested in the real crash site but all he did was trespass on private property and cross Bureau of Land Management land (BLM) without permission. The real site he found, was the one that Don Schmitt and I located in 1989 with the help of Bill Brazel.Bill
