The year was 1959. The place Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Scientists were invited to the military compound to give an expert opinion on certain aspects of dead extraterrestrials.

In his book Preuves Scientifiques OVNI (Monaco 1981), Jean-Charles Fumoux relates how Leon B. Visse, an alleged expert on histons (elements connected with cellular genetic material), was invited in 1959 to a military compound at Wright-Patterson AFB, where he was asked to perform an experiment on the histonic weight of particular cells.

In the first experiment Visse found an inordinately low histonic weight, far lower than human cells. Either he was mistaken or there had to be a complete revision of genetic theories, he reasoned. But Visse obtained the same results when he repeated the experiment, so he asked if he could look at the organism from which the cells came. To his astonishment, Visse was taken into a special room where the corpses of two humanoids lay.

The bodies were very tall, a little over seven feet, and from their terrible injuries appeared to have been in an accident, although the heads were intact, Fumoux relates, and continues:

"The forehead high and broad. Very long blond hair. The eyes were stretched toward the temples which gave them an Asiatic look. The nose and mouth were small. The lips were thin, perfectly delineated. The chin was small and slightly pointed. The two faces were beardless. Despite slight differences in their facial appearances, the two humanoids looked like twins".

The bodies had been preserved in formalin but remained perfectly white, apparently lacking the keratin granules which cause normal human beings to tan in strong sunlight. The eyes were very light blue and looked no different from normal, Visse reported. The hands were human-like but slender, while their feet were absolutely flat, with small toes.

Dr. Jean Gilles of the French Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) eventually tracked down Leon Visse, who promptly denied that he had been personally involved in the case. Nevertheless, he admitted there was some truth to the story. Only a highly qualified biologist could have come up with such a story, he told Dr. Gilles. It had been alleged, for example, that the aliens’ bodies exhibited a far more developed lymphatic system than normal, and Visse explained that, hypothetically, hyper development of the lymphatic system might be a normal attribute of extraterrestrial beings.

Another of the alleged witnesses, Professor Andre Lwoff, also denied involvement and said he had never heard of Visse. So what are we to make of this extraordinary story? A straightforward hoax?

Dr. Gilles summarized his feelings about Visse in a letter to Leonard Stringfield in 1982:

”I have no definite opinion if he was the right man or not; for me it’s 50% yes, 50% no. Visse had indeed knowledge about covert operations. It seemed to me, but it could have been my imagination, that he was accustomed to military ways of thinking and behavior. Visse was absolutely unmoved by the Fumoux story when I told him, he didn't show any surprise, he was not shocked at all by the odd subject. In short, I believe Fumoux knew something about alien/retrieval affairs. But what he knew was certainly distorted."

Dr. Gilles concluded that either Dr. Visse or Fumoux, or both, knew the truth about the Wright-Patterson incident but had subsequently covered it up with disinformation. Two further points are worth noting. Visse had allegedly been sworn to secrecy for ten years by the Americans, and it was precisely ten years later (in 1969) that he revealed the story for the first time, according to Fumoux. Fumoux himself had been in the French Air Force and had ties with the intelligence community. Was the story a way of bringing out the truth, albeit in a distorted form, or simply a hoax from beginning to end? Like so many apocryphal accounts of alien retrievals, we shall simply have to suspend judgment until the day arrives when the authorities decide to reveal the facts.

My Take: If true, I guess they has some dead Nordic Aliens at the base. Crashed UFO? UFO that was shot down? Hard to say.
