The army officer who wrote the original 1947 press release reporting that a "Flying Saucer" had been captured at a ranch in Roswell, New Mexico, has died. Walter Haut was also the co-founder of the International UFO Museum, which more than 2.5 million people have visited since it opened in 1992. Link to news story. (Thanks Radio guy)
