📝 Blog Post: The Richard E. French Testimony – When a Hero Speaks of the Unseen

🎖️ A Credible Voice Breaks Decades of Silence

Lt. Col. Richard E. French lived an extraordinary conventional life: fighter pilot, Vietnam combat veteran, recipient of the Silver Star, Distinguished Flying Crosses, Air Medals, and Purple Heart. He retired in 1974 after 27 years of service. For most of those years, he spoke only of duty and missions—until his early 80s, when he stepped into the light at the 2013 Citizen Hearing on Disclosure. What he revealed sent ripples through UFO research: claims of firsthand encounters with non-human technology, underwater alien repairs, and a hidden second chapter to the infamous Roswell event.

🌊 The Newfoundland Depths: Witnesses to the Impossible

In the early 1950s, off the coast near St. John’s, French described arriving to investigate reports of strange objects entering the sea. What he and over a hundred onlookers saw chilled the blood: two metallic disc-shaped craft, submerged in crystal-clear water just off the wharf. Small, grey, thin beings—about two to three feet tall, with elongated arms and large heads—worked methodically to repair one craft. They moved with eerie precision for hours before the objects rose, accelerated at impossible speeds, vanished, and later returned to complete their task. French filed a debunking report as ordered, but the memory never faded.

🛸 Roswell Reopened: Two Crashes, Not One

French asserted the 1947 Roswell incident involved two sites. While on temporary duty in New Mexico, he claimed to have seen a recovered disc and non-human bodies—some deceased from impact, others possibly injured. He even suggested one craft was downed by an experimental U.S. electronic-pulse weapon from White Sands. These details paint a picture of early human engagement with unknown visitors, feeding into decades of alleged reverse-engineering programs shrouded in secrecy.

⚖️ The Weight of Testimony Without Proof

French’s story lacks documents or additional witnesses stepping forward, and some note timeline inconsistencies. Yet his decorated record lends weight—why would a hero risk his legacy on fabrication late in life? He passed in 2014, leaving only interviews and sworn statements. His account lingers as a haunting intersection of verified courage and incredible memory, forcing us to ask: what secrets do the skies—and depths—still conceal?

The shadows French described refuse to fade. They remind us that some truths surface only when the witness feels time running out.
