In an article by the Canadian National Newspaper, Clark C. McCelland, a former space flight pioneer at Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, issued a public statement reaffirming his past conversation with former NASA Director and Architect of the Saturn V that took man to the moon, of Wernher von Braun’s witness of alien bodies at Roswell.

Clark C. McClelland issued a photo of himself in the company of Wernher von Braun that was autographed by Mr. Braun - I guess to try to prove his case that he at least met the man.

“During my long years of service in our national space program, I was very fortunate to come to know and exchange some very exciting data with former German scientists, who had been brought to the USA under Operation Paper Clip following Word War II. These men were the elite of the German rocket programs controlled by Adolph Hitler.”

In that statement, McClelland confirmed that von Braun had told him, under oath not to reveal the information to anyone, the following information:

“Wernher von Braun explained how he and his (unnamed, for now) associates had been taken to the crash site after most of the military were pulled back. They did a quick analysis of what they found. He told me the craft did not appear to be made of metal as we know metal on earth. He said it seemed to be created from something biological, like skin. I was lost as to what he indicated, other than thinking perhaps the craft was “alive.”

The recovered bodies were temporarily being kept in a nearby medical tent. They were small, very frail and had large heads. Their eyes were large. Their skin was greyish and reptilian in texture. Dr. von Braun said it looked similar to the skin texture of rattle snakes he’d seen several times at White Sands. His inspection of the debris had even him puzzled: very thin, aluminium coloured, like silvery chewing gum wrappers. Very light and extremely strong. The interior of the craft was nearly bare of equipment, as if the creatures and craft were part of a single unit.”

That’s when I [McClelland] became lost in the moment. We returned to the awards ceremony, in which he [von Braun] participated, later bidding farewell. I went home with my head spinning from all I had heard. Keeping this quiet for many years was very difficult, especially with the temptations of having many friends and associates who believe in UFOs, ETs, etc. I never released this amazing data to Major Keyhoe and NICAP, or the public, until now. I considered my honor sacred when a vow was made.
