Summary

Otolaryngologist and Montana Army National Guard Colonel who, as an 11-year-old in July 1947, handled debris his father - RAAF intelligence officer Jesse Marcel Sr. - brought home from the Foster Ranch crash site before reporting to base. Marcel Jr. consistently described the material as exhibiting anomalous properties unlike any terrestrial technology, including memory-metal characteristics and geometric symbols on structural members. He co-authored 'The Roswell Legacy' (2009) and testified at the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure weeks before his death in 2013. As both a childhood firsthand witness and a credentialed military-medical professional, he represents the most direct family corroboration of his father's account.
