Tweet, verbatim: "It was an ex-US Air Force Security Service member, Raymond Fowler, who made the world aware of the 1953 Kingman, AZ crash retrieval. The ex-military/intel people kept nudging forward crash retrieval awareness each time it stalled out, over the decades."

Cited excerpt (paraphrase; image not machine-readable): the passage identifies Raymond Fowler as a former USAF Security Service member and past NICAP chairman who obtained and published the affidavit of "Fritz Werner" — the pseudonym of engineer Arthur G. Stansel — describing a recovered disc near Kingman, AZ around 21 May 1953, an account that appears in Fowler's book "Casebook of a UFO Investigator."
