I found this while looking for Jesse Marcel material, the first hour is about
conspiracy theorists. Then goes on to Jesse and other UFO cases...

Roswell & Wright Patterson AFB - August 25 2013 - Coast to Coast Am - C2CAM Date: 08-25-13
About the show:
George was joined by UFO investigators, Don Schmitt and Thomas Carey, who
discussed their research into Wright Patterson Air Force Base and how it played a critical
role in the aftermath of the Roswell crash. "Whatever was recovered at Roswell,"
Schmitt said, "it's initial destination was, indeed, Wright field." As such, the duo
explained that their investigation into the base stemmed from the fact that previous
depictions of the Roswell tale often simply end with the debris being sent to Wright
Patterson and, thus, "we thought we'd continue the story." They detailed how Wright
Patterson received the debris because it housed the Air Force's foreign technology
division and, thus, had the staff and facilities to study "something that was really
foreign." Carey also noted the base's high degree of secrecy as well as an advanced
medical facility which would allow for the handling of the ET crash victims.
On what became of the debris once it arrived at Wright Patterson, Schmitt recounted
the testimony of General Arthur Exon, who served as part of the early Foreign
Technology Division at the base in 1947 and was ordered to prepare the lab
because "the materials from Roswell were coming in for testing." According to Schmitt,
Exon claimed that the consensus from the "top engineers in the military at that time"
were that "the materials had to be from space." Additionally, Carey shared the
tantalizing story of actor Gordon MacRae, who contended that he was at Wright
Patterson following the Roswell crash and was tasked with guarding the palettes which
contained the alien bodies upon their arrival. Despite being ordered not to look under
the protective tarp, MacRae peeked at the cargo and saw small entities with large heads.
The duo also reflected on the recent passing of Jesse Marcel Jr., a critical witness to the
aftermath of the Roswell crash, having allegedly handled the wreckage of the downed
craft. Schmitt credited Marcel with being "the one person who championed all of such
witnesses who had the good fortune of handling something that could very well have
been manufactured off this planet." Carey mused that Marcel's death is a "stark
reminder" that "we're reaching the end of the line as far as firsthand witnesses to
various aspects of the story." Regarding the critics of Marcel's story, he suggested
that "they never met" the man, because he was the type of person who "could never
tell a lie."
Conspiracy Theorists
In the first hour, Dr. Mike Wood, former faculty member at the School of Psychology at
the University of Kent, Canterbury, UK talked about his study of conspiracy theorists.
Rather than judge the veracity of these theories, Wood said that his work was aimed at
understanding the psychology of conspiracy theorists as well as how they construct their
arguments. He lamented that some media coverage of the study has misinterpreted it in
favor of conspiracy theorists. In particular, Wood cited the findings which showed
skeptics to be more hostile in their arguments than their conspiracy-minded
counterparts. Wood attributed that result to the fact that those in the minority, such as
conspiracy theorists, have to be more civil in order to argue their case.
