Grady Barnett
Grady (Barney) Barnett was a soil conservation engineer based in Socorro, New Mexico,
who first drew UFOlogists to the connection between the Roswell and a possible second
crash on the Plains of San Agustin.
The Barnett story however did not come from him directly because he died before the
story came out. Instead they were reported by his close friend Vern Maltais, who
was told the story by Barnett.
This case has since proved very dubious and unsupported and most UFOlogists now except
this case a hoax. It was however revived briefly when in 1990 a man called Gerald Anderson
came forward with a story that supported this story. However this too was soon proved
to be yet another hoax in the history of UFOlogy.
