614. David Jones, Decoding the Roswell Memo

After our guest, David Jones saw a TV program that focused on the iconic Ramey Memo, which revealed the word; “Wreck” deciphered. Right then and there, he knew there was much more to Roswell UFO Crash then the skeptics claim. There are claims such as the “Mogul Balloon” theory on Wikipedia as what really crashed at Roswell. David spent every waking hour for over a year with lots of sleepless nights decoding what can be seen, which is 66 of the 78 words on the memo. Is this the smoking gun we have waited for?
