How many more times to I have to say this: *MARCEL HIMSELF STATED THAT
THIS PARTICULAR PHOTO SHOWS THE DEBRIS HE PICKED UP AT THE RANCH*. Go read
"The Roswell Incident" by Berlitz and Moore, the book which started this
whole Industry. If Marcel is telling the truth then that is a photo of the
real debris. If he's not, then his entire testimony is suspect and the
story falls apart anyway.

You can claim that Marcel is a liar, you can claim that Berlitz and Moore
are liars, but if you believe the Roswell Industry then that photo is
*real*.

Their concern wasn't with the balloon, it was with the 'flying disc' which
was attached to the balloon. Which wasn't standard issue on weather
balloons of the period.
