Background

Dr. Robert Sarbacher was a physicist, defense contractor, and consultant to the U.S. Department of Defense Research and Development Board. He holds a unique place in UAP history for explicitly confirming the existence of crash retrievals and alien bodies to civilian researchers. Sarbacher's key contribution was a 1983 interview where he stated he had not personally seen the extraterrestrial craft or bodies but had attended top-level Pentagon meetings where they were discussed, confirming that the materials were extraordinarily light and strong. His on-the-record validation of the core Roswell narrative by a highly credentialed defense scientist provided immense credibility to the extraterrestrial hypothesis. He maintained that the technology recovered was far beyond current human capabilities.
