It was back in the late evening of July 2, 1947, that something crashed in an open field around 40 miles north of Roswell, New Mexico, opening the doors for a historic moment unlike any other. After all, it was almost immediately reported to be a UFO wreck, per Netflix’s ‘Unsolved Mysteries: The Roswell UFO Incident,’ only to then suddenly be changed to a US Army weather balloon. That’s when Major Jesse Marcel was allegedly also ordered to remain mum about this matter, but he, his son, as well as his grandkids have all eventually iterated the belief it was a “flying saucer.”
Jesse and Denice Marcel Grew Up With Tales of the Roswell Incident
According to records, Major Jesse was an integral part of the Army’s 509th unit stationed in New Mexico in the 1940s, just for it to turn out to be the only atomic bomb unit in the world at the time. He was actually a part of the team that had planned the nuclear strike over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan after already having an illustrious career with some key people during this World War. Therefore, when tasked with investigating the July 1947 crash site before directly reporting back to a Colonel, it was understood it was a big deal, yet he never could have expected what he seemingly saw.
As per records, Major Jesse claimed to have encountered debris, unlike anything he had seen before, comprising a flexible metal and some glass-like fiber optic materials strewn throughout. The former allegedly even had some violet-colored symbols on it that appeared to be part of a different language, which was even corroborated by his son Jesse Marcel Jr. After all, the Army official had allegedly broken protocol and taken some debris home to show his wife as well as his only child, which the latter always remembered despite being just 11 at the time.
Therefore, when Jesse Marcel Jr. ultimately had kids — Jesse Marcel III, Denice Marcel, and John Marcel — they grew up listening to the possibility of UFOs and extraterrestrial beings. The truth is, they purportedly heard everything about the crash and the two alleged alien bodies found in intervals, only for it all to be iterated when their grandfather went public with his accounts. That’s why they never once doubted him or their father, as all their statements to the media were practically the same as what they had been told for years, driving them to stand by in support.
Jesse and Denice Have Partly Followed in Their Father and Grandfather’s Footsteps
Even though Jesse, Denice, as well as John have all grown up and established different lives of their own, the former two continue to unwaveringly reiterate their father and grandfather’s claims. They wholeheartedly believe their late family members were telling the truth, especially since their grandfather also left behind a private diary through which one can supposedly uncover the location of the debris and additional secrets that have not yet come to light. However, their aim is just to continue talking about this incident to ensure it goes down in history as possibly one of the most remarkable proofs of life beyond Earth, with their ancestors being one of the first believers.
Coming to Jesse and Denice’s individual standings at the moment, it appears as if the former is based out of Spokane Valley, Washington, whereas the latter resides in Los Angeles, California. He is actually the Co-Founder, Chief Design Officer, and Director at Airborne Motorworks, which aims to manufacture sustainable electromagnetic technology innovatively. As if that’s not enough, he is also a television producer and a published author – his book ‘The Roswell Legacy: The Untold Story of the First Military Officer at the 1947 Crash Site’ was first released in 2007.
As for Denice, she has reportedly been serving as the State Section Director for Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) Los Angeles since 1983, through which she’s doing everything in her power to keep the Roswell incident in the limelight. From what we can tell, she is in a happy, healthy, long-term relationship with Jim Fitzgerald. The latter is a former PA announcer for the Los Angeles Lakers. Denice is also a dog mom who takes pride in beautifully maintaining her familial bonds.
