Roswell 1947: Witnesses listing and their testimonies

This document is a comprehensive, ongoing compilation of individuals identified as witnesses to the 1947 Roswell incident. The author, Patrick Gross, explicitly states that the list is not limited to credible or first-hand accounts. Instead, it encompasses a wide range of individuals, including those who have been discredited, those who provided second or third-hand testimony, and those who assert that the object recovered was a balloon rather than an alien spacecraft. The author maintains a broad, subjective definition of a 'witness,' including anyone who has made a claim related to the event, regardless of their physical presence at the scene or the veracity of their statement. The document is intended to serve as a resource for researchers, providing a centralized list where the author plans to eventually link individual files containing biographical information, source references, and investigator commentary for each person listed. The author emphasizes that the project is 'under construction' and invites contributions of additional names and references. The document also addresses frequently asked questions regarding the inclusion of discredited witnesses, the potential for bias, and the author's own stance on the Roswell event, which remains neutral as they seek to provide documentation rather than a definitive conclusion.
