That is most likely the description Major Marcel used when he returned to the airfield. As Walter Haut, who was then the 509th's press officer, tells it, he was ordered by Colonel William Blanchard, the group commander, to issue a press release. Haut, now 75 (he and his wife have license plates that read MR UFO and MRS UFO), remembers Blanchard's saying, "We have in our possession a flying saucer. This thing crashed north of Roswell, and we've shipped it all to General Ramey, 8th Air Force at Fort Worth...
...last week splitting legal hairs to show why Ralston's transgression wasn't as severe as Flinn's. Whereas Flinn, the Air Force's first female B-52 pilot, lied about her affair and disobeyed an order to stop seeing her boyfriend, Ralston had his fling when the then colonel and his first wife were separated. Because Ralston and his love, a married CIA employee, were attending the Pentagon's National War College at the time, he had no troops under his command.

In one such instance, reported in the Washington Post, the 78-year-old mother of Lieut. Colonel Karen Tew became fed up with their probing and finally told them "I didn't know and why didn't they just ask her." Tew, who was married, eventually pleaded guilty to an affair with an enlisted man; she was dismissed from the service last March, a year...
...civilianized (only 20% of its members fly planes) and feminized (26% of its new recruits are women) of the services, and its generals are notoriously sensitive lest their troops become indistinguishable from those of, say, a civilian corporation--and equally unfit to fight a real war. An Air Force colonel who served in the Persian Gulf and Somalia apprehensively contemplates the worst: "If each member is worrying about whether the officer next to him is getting special treatment because she is sleeping with the commander, you won't be prepared for the enemy. Or worse, you'll commit mistakes...
