Arthur E. Exon had been a lieutenant colonel and a student participating in a two-year industrial administration course on the base (Wright Field) at the time of the Roswell events in 1947.

“We heard that the [Roswell] material was coming to Wright Field. Testing was done in various labs—everything from chemical analysis, stress tests, compression tests, and flexing. It was brought into our material evaluation labs. I don’t know how it arrived, but the boys who tested it said it was very unusual.”
“[Some of it] could be easily ripped or changed.… There were other parts of it that were very thin but awfully strong and couldn’t be dented with heavy hammers.… It was flexible to a degree. Some of it was flimsy but tougher than hell, and the [rest of it] was almost like foil but strong. It had them pretty puzzled.”
“They knew they had something new in their hands. The metal and material were unknown to anyone I talked to. Whatever they found, I never heard what the results were. A couple of guys thought it might be Russian, but the overall consensus was that the pieces were from space. Everyone from the White House on down knew that what we had found was not of this world within 24 hours of our finding it.”

When asked about the bodies, Exon said, “I know people who were involved in photographing some of the residue from the New Mexico affair near Roswell. There was another location [this would be the Impact Site, which is distinct from the Debris Field Site on the Foster Ranch] where apparently the main body of the spacecraft was… where they did say there were bodies. They were all found, apparently, outside the craft itself in fairly good condition. In other words, they weren’t broken up a lot.”
When asked specifically if the bodies recovered from the crash at Roswell went to Wright Field, Exon said, “That’s my information. But one of them went to a mortuary outfit…I think at that time it was in Denver. But the strongest information was that they were brought to Wright-Patt. People I have known were involved with that.”
When we interviewed General Exon in the 1990s, he was sure that at least some of the extraterrestrial “space material” was still being housed at Wright-Patterson. He told us there would still be reports, probably filed in the Foreign Technology (FTD) Building, which would describe everything learned in the past 60-plus years of studying the exotic materials. There would also be photographs logging each and every aspect of the crash, including retrievals from multiple sites, the transporting of the remains, all the recovery-related activities at the base in Roswell, and the final disposition of all physical evidence.
Exon also pointed out that there were no secret balloon or weather devices that could account for the wreckage that he heard about. “The lab men and officers at Wright Field, because it was their job, would have known if the debris fit into those categories.”
Exon knew of the UFO cover-up, starting with the one that originated at Roswell. “I know that at the time happened, it went to General Ramey…and he, along with the people out at Roswell, decided to change the story while they got their act together and got the information into the Pentagon and to the president.”
At the end of the day, according to the general, “Roswell was the recovery of a craft from space.”
