Jim Ragsdale was a truck driver living in Carlsbad at the time of the Roswell
incident, July 4th weekend, 1947.
''We (Jim and his girl friend, the aptly named Trudy Truelove) were lying in the back of my pickup truck, buck naked, drinking beer and having a good 'ol time when all hell broke loose.''
About 11:30 P.M., Ragsdale said he saw an object roar overhead and slammed into the ground a mile or so from where Ragsdale was entertaining his young
companion approximately 5 miles from Arabella, New Mexico.
After the rain ended, Ragsdale and his girl friend got dressed and drove across the rocky terrain to the edge of a short cliff. Using a flashlight in which the batteries were failing, they saw
discovered a crashed saucer. They decided to go back to where they had been and to return in the morning.
When the sun came up, Ragsdale and Trudy Truelove left where they had been parking and returned to the cliff to examine the crash site.
They went down and examined some of the debris that was lying all over the ground and marveled at the characteristics. "You could take that stuff and wad it up and it would straighten itself out." Near the craft, Ragsdale saw "bodies or something laying there. They looked like bodies. They weren’t very long… four or five feet long at most."
Ragsdale and Truelove didn’t check to see if any of them were alive or in need of help. They decided instead to gather up some of the wreckage- and were throwing it into their truck when they "heard all of them coming… It was two or three six-by-six army trucks, a wrecker and everything. Leading the pack was a ’47 Ford car with guys in it. MPs in it."
While they watched, the trucks fanned out and parked. Now Ragsdale said he got worried along with Truelove. He pulled his truck
into a copse of trees and watched as the MPs began to cordon off the area. They watched long enough to know that "they cleaned everything all up. I mean they cleaned it. They raked the ground and everything."
Ragsdale and Truelove decided to get out before the MPs searched the area and returned to the site of their amorous adventures of the night before.
