His report noted that the object's geometry, while reminiscent of popular saucer tropes, bore little resemblance to any known aircraft design documented by the Pentagon's archives up to that time.

In late July, the US Air Force dispatched a flight from Lowry Field to inspect the alleged evidence and provide an official assessment.
TonyHOST
The visiting squadron's chief pilot, Captain William Harper, reported that no trace of jet engine noise or other anomalous vibrations were detectable, leading him to question whether what was in front of them might simply be a prank or a discarded industrial prototype.
TonyHOST
However, despite his skepticism, the Air Force did issue a provisional notice urging all parties involved to preserve the scene for further analysis.

You see, over at Lowry Air Force Base, Joseph was kind of a big deal.

PJ WrightGUEST
Um, and that was great, you know? And so I had, uh, my, my job in the Air Force, what I'd signed up to do, was the armament system specialist on fighters, and I got F-15s.

And so I worked on that whole armament system, and the school for that was at Lowry Air Force Base in Denver.

Scotty ActonGUEST
But I'd been at Western Illinois for, well, two semesters and left there and went into basic training down at Lackland.
Scotty ActonGUEST

Scotty ActonGUEST
in.
Kevin D. RandleGUEST
And we've heard some rumblings about what happened to the bodies at Roswell.
Kevin D. RandleGUEST
General Exxon, for example, told us that one of the bodies had gone to Denver, Colorado, because back in 1947, the Army Air Forces, as opposed to the US Air Force, Army Air Forces had a mortuary service at their base in Denver, which became Lowry Air Force Base.
Kevin D. RandleGUEST
I don't know what the name, I don't really have the name of what it was back in 1947, but Exxon said that they sent the body there because they were looking at trying to learn what was the best way to preserve it because you've got a unique biological sample and there isn't a good, you don't really have much of a chance of getting more.
Kevin D. RandleGUEST
So you want to preserve all of that as long as you can so you can preserve continue your research on it.
