THE STORYBOARD:
LICENSOR & DETECTIVE RENDERING ARTIST: Me. William Louis ("Bill") McDonald Sr.
PARTNERS: Then Captain and now Colonel and Doctor Kevin D. Randle (USAF Retired) along with Donald Raymond Schmitt, Co-authors of the "UFO Crash at Roswell (1991)" and "The Truth About the UFO Crash at Roswell (1994),"
LITERARY AGENT: Sharon Jarvis (Deceased), Toad Hall and Associates, Laceyville, Pennsylvania. (SPECIAL NOTE: Sharon worked as Special Assistant and Executive Assistant to Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis at Doubleday in New York for years prior to retiring to strike out on her own from nearby Laceyville.
THE LICENSEE: The Testor Corporation of Rockford, Illinois, via their Special Projects offices leased in San Diego.
THE DRAWING'S STORY: Much to my shock and surprise, John Andrews and his staff at the San Diego offices of the Testor Corporation turned this illustration and a number of panels on some of the other illustrations into graphic printable camera-ready images and shrunk them down in order to make them actual model kit decals on each kit's included sheet. This is a look-down over the four-fingered forward pilot's dual tandem positions inside the crew cabin of the Roswell Aerosurf Command Module and Skiff.
Later on, based on witness statements made by the grandchild of one of the most prominent on-site witnesses, that this "Skiff" was also the break-away "Flying Bridge" and waverider space shuttle for the entire inbound craft in low Earth orbit.
NOTE: The individual pilot in the right hand seat has a joystick. It's the only joystick or aviation-style stick inside the craft.
Using the deathbed statements of the late Leonard H. Stringfield of Cincinnati, Ohio; a veteran of US Army Intelligence in the Pacific Theatre during WWII, as a baseline for descriptions of the five deceased flight crew members recovered on 05 July 1947 at the second crash site which was in the Bureau of Land Management arroyo leased by sheep ranchers Jud McKnight and Jason Ridgeway thirty-two miles north of the town limits of the Town of Roswell; I collected twenty-eight separate descriptions of the anatomical structure and textures of the Roswell space alien flight crew members.
My drawings are forensic composites of all key anatomical points which match all the witnesses claims, as measured against the most respected body of research pertaining to the Roswell Case ever: Leonard H. Stringfield's complete and proprietary body of research.
All deathbed statements and claims were matched to Leonard's deathbed statements and claims. They formed my detective's baseline of the most reliable and most credible of all the anatomical descriptions. And guess what? None of these alien cadavers were green or even gray. And none of them had great big, all black, almond-shaped eyes.
