J. Andrew Kissner's statement on the 1947 recoveries (1994)

A 1994 statement by J. Andrew Kissner, a former New Mexico state representative, built from years of conversations with unnamed White Sands and Naval Research Laboratory sources. It says craft recovered in New Mexico in 1947 went to the Atomic Energy Commission's labs under Vannevar Bush, and that a classified executive order of July 1948 put custody permanently in civilian hands with the NSC coordinating. Linda Moulton Howe made it public in 2004; UAP Gerb says he has spoken with Kissner.
