Ramey Message might shed light on real Roswell Crash
The investigation into the content of four photos taken on July 8, 1947 in the office of General Roger Ramey continues. On September 23, 1998, Ron Regehr and James Bond Johnson announced that their Roswell Photo Interpretation Team (RPIT), based in Orange County, California, had succeeded in partly deciphering a letter held in General Ramey’s hand.
Ramey appears in two of the four extant photos taken by James Bond Johnson. Investigation of the photos has mostly centered on contents of the wreckage seen in all four photos. Long assumed to be fragments of a weather balloon and Rawin radar target, some of the visible wreckage is now said by Regehr, Johnson and their associates to be possibly genuine pieces of a UFO recovered near Roswell. The latest announcement, however, shifts the focus to the letter in Ramey’s hand. In one photo, this letter is folded and partly crushed, so that little of the message can be seen. In the other photo, the letter is held open and relatively flat in Ramey’s hand, but at a very poor camera angle for reading the text.
Nonetheless, Regehr, Johnson et al claim they have deciphered a substantial portion of the symbols and text in the letter. According to Regehr, “intensive study and new technology have revealed parts of the ‘Ramey Message.’ The Ramey Message is displayed in all caps on a telephone message sheet. There appears to be an official crest with a field of stars on a dark background, a parachute, an arrowhead, and an aircraft. A logo of [a] phone typical of the 1947 era is also on the sheet.”
Regehr says that the following words and phrases in the letter have been positively identified:
“AS THE …. 4 HRS THE VICTIMS OF THE … YOU FORWARDED TO THE … AT FORT WORTH, TEX. … THE “CRASH” “STORY” … FOR 0984 ACKNOWLEDGES … EMERGENCY POWERS ARE NEEDED SITE TWO SW MAGDALENA, NMEX … SAFE TALK … FOR MEANING OF STORY AND MISSION … WEATHER BALLOONS SENT ON THE … AND LAND … ROVER CREWS… TEMPLE”
In a separate commentary, Roswell researcher Kevin Randle adds that his own attempt to examine the letter in 1991, aided by a NASA scientist, revealed a possible security classification stamp in the upper right corner; but whether or not the message was classified is not known.
If the deciphered words are accurate, they raise significant questions. As Regehr sees it, the wording could “prove a crash or crashes and victims, emergency powers, and a ‘safe talk’ story to divert attention away” from a sensitive location near Magdalena, New Mexico.
“It does not mention aliens, but it does show significant Army Air Force actions and operations were being conducted to hide some type of crashed object,” Regehr says. “We can speculate it was a classified military craft, a Soviet crash, or perhaps even something alien.”
Investigation of the photos will continue. CNI News will report further developments as they become available.
