Humans Allegedly Captured Roswell Aliens 80 Years Ago but They Perished 'Refusing Food or Contact'

Former Pentagon UFO investigator Jay Stratton claims aliens survived an alleged spacecraft crash near Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947, but later died after refusing food or contact. His account appears in Out of the Shadows, published on 13 October 2026, and relies on an unnamed informant, not a recovery he witnessed.

The allegation challenges the US Air Force's explanation for debris found near Roswell in July 1947. Government investigators attributed the material to a military balloon programme, while Stratton's memoir presents a different account without independently authenticated evidence.
