Summary
In this episode of Need to Know: Extra, Bryce Zabel dives deep into the enduring mystery of Roswell, emphasizing its significance in the broader UAP discussion. He explores recent congressional interest in crash wreckage, particularly Rep. Ana Paulina Luna's investigative efforts and Ross Coulthart's reporting on Jake Barber's claims regarding helicopter retrieval of crash materials. The discussion revisits the historical context of Roswell, highlighting how it became marginalized despite continued revelations from key figures like Lue Elizondo and David Grusch, who both reaffirm that it was, in fact, a crash event involving non-human biological samples.
Bryce is joined by Roswell researcher Don Schmitt, who provides an in-depth look at the case, recounting decades of investigation and first-hand witness testimonies. The conversation explores how the U.S. government has repeatedly changed its explanation for Roswell, from flying saucer claims to weather balloons, Project Mogul, and crash test dummies. They discuss the challenges of proving the case today, the missing Roswell files, and the extreme lengths taken to suppress witness accounts. Schmitt emphasizes the significance of deathbed confessions and ongoing efforts to uncover physical wreckage, believing that Roswell remains the key to unraveling the UFO mystery once and for all.

| 0:19.5 | Now, there's been a lot of talk about crash wreckage these days. |
| 0:22.7 | It seems to be everywhere. |
| 0:24.0 | Representative Anna Paulina Luna is talking about it when it comes to her new committee in Congress |
| 0:30.1 | that she says is going to investigate UFOs and UAP as well as other things. |
| 0:34.8 | And, of course, our own Ross Coltart broke the story of Jake Barber, |
| 0:39.1 | who claims that he was flying helicopters that picked up crash wreckage. So I want to talk about |
| 0:45.2 | crash wreckage today, but I want to go back to the granddaddy of it all that we've almost put |
| 0:49.9 | aside. And of course, I'm talking about Roswell. Roswell, of course, over the years has sort of |
| 0:55.6 | gotten marginalized by people who, by the government, who of course have offered multiple |
| 1:02.8 | explanations for the whole thing, but also just by our culture, which kind of turned it into |
| 1:07.6 | kind of something that maybe wasn't all that serious, but things have started to |
| 1:12.4 | change. I've been obsessed by Roswell myself since I first moved to Los Angeles. And when I got to |

| 1:25.8 | about this book. And I went down to the local grocery store and |
| 1:28.8 | bought this, the Roswell incident. This is the first time I really got a sense of it. Now, |
| 1:33.4 | there's a lot of inaccuracies in this book, as we'll learn from our guest in a few minutes. |
| 1:38.2 | But it also laid out a story that it happened in 1947 and said, not so fast on passing on this story. |
| 1:46.1 | And, of course, then we started really looking into it. |
| 1:50.1 | The investigation picked up in intensity after Stanton Friedman met with Jesse Marcel, |
