    Subject:  Re: Radio Report on Roswell UFO Crash

          The version I've previously heard of this was much longer and mentioned
    that the craft found was of "flimsy" construction, which rather plays into
    the hands of the weather balloon theorists.

          Are you certain it's John Nebel? I wouldn't have recognized the voice
    as his, to be truthful.

         Sincerely,

         George Wagner

    In listening to the Roswell UFO radio report (1947) mentioned in the previous
    DIGEST, I cannot say that the 18-second report sounds anything like Long John
    Nebel.  Nebel had a pronounced NY accent and a much different delivery style.
