Full copyright for non-original text and photos reproduced on this Website, such as 1947 newspaper articles and photos, may be claimed by others. These materials are being used here based on my understanding of the Fair Use doctrine of copyright law, which allows restricted reproduction of copyrighted material for nonprofit, educational purposes with credit being given to the original source.

I would like to hear from people who might catch serious (though unintentional on my part) factual mistakes on the Website. I will endeavor to quickly rectify them. However, I will not respond to quibbles over interpretation. I will, however, as time permits, try to respond to constructive criticism, such as items you think might require further clarification or documentation.

I would further like to hear from people who might have serious information to impart regarding Roswell, such as family members of base personnel or residents of the area. Please no hoaxers, debunkers or crazies.
