- Several groups of researchers are working to read the
Roswell message. Researcher Tom Carey provides the following data, "The
Roswell research team of Tom Carey and Don Schmitt continues to break new
ground in their attempt to "decipher" the so-called "Ramey
Memo." In one of the July 8, 1947, photographs taken by Fort Worth
Star Telegram reporter/photographer, J. Bond Johnson, Gen. Roger M. Ramey
can be seen holding a piece of paper with writing on it as he kneels by
some obvious weather balloon debris on the floor of his office. Several
teams of researchers, including Carey and Schmitt, have attempted, by means
of computer software programs, to "read" what is contained in
what has become known as the "Ramey Memo."
-
- In July, with the support of the International UFO Museum
and Research Center in ROSWELL, Carey and Schmitt made arrangements to
have the original negative scanned by sophisticated techniques at the University
of Texas [Arlington] Archives where it is kept. This was a one-time-only
operation as permitted by the University of Texas. The result is, in essence,
a new negative of the original picture and not merely a photo of it. This
includes a number of non-UFO-related entities as well as several well-respected
Roswell-focused investigators who have attempted to "read" the
memo before. One of these, respected Roswell researcher David Rudiak has
forwarded his results to me, and they are gratifying to say the least.
David advises me that the new scan helped to "clear up" some
of the problem areas that he had previously been having trouble with.
-
- Neil Morris from the University of Manchester in England
with the Roswell Photo Research Team plus Don Burleson have also provided
their interpretations of the message. Neil states, "In this comparison
I have used my standard convention in my 'take' of the message. 1) Capitals
denote firm interpretation. 2) Lower space are educated guesses. (they
fit for spelling and syntax but may be incorrect) 3) "*" denote
unknown letter, 4) My line format, is to the best I can conclude, correct
to the grid layout of the typed text in the Ramey Message. (M) - Neil

- Neil Morris writes, "At the moment, the text seems
to me to be more advisory ie a report or summery of the situation and seems
to cover these main points.
-
- 1) It gives early warning "4hr" of "victims"
being transferred to ? "at Fort Worth".
-
- 2) It seems to say the "onus" of the search
is/was placed on a Technical and Engineering unit and they are requesting
further support possibly out at a "site one". 3) It informs
that the 509th Bomb Group released some of the information to the media
at noon that day, 4) It advises "adv" that ?initially? the theory
of the "weather balloon's" radar reflectors as being responsible
had been suggested or given. I personally get the impression this is info
being given from a third party fully aware of what is going on and to what
extent, they seem to have a full overview of the situation. From the way
the 509th is referred to I don't think this document originated there,
but it does seem to have the feel of a report from "a forward command."
Thanks to Neil Morris neil@adm1.ph.man.ac.uk. David Rudiak, and Don Burleson,
for their continuing efforts in this area of Roswell research.

- Editor's Note: Work continues on the General Ramey message
probably written by him to higher headquarters.
