It was strewn along a large area measuring at least 34 of a mile long and 300 feet wide. He gathered up some of the debris and showed his neighbors the Proctors.

Sheriff Wilcox immediately contacted Colonel William Blanchard at the Roswell Army Air Force base who dispatched Intelligence Officer Major Jesse Marcel.
