Robert Porter
Master Sergeant Robert R. Porter was a B-29 flight engineer with the 509th Bomb Group at Roswell Army Air Field who allegedly participated in transporting Roswell craft debris from Roswell to Fort Worth Army Air Field on July 8, 1947, during the Roswell craft retrieval operation. Porter reportedly confirmed extraordinary security measures surrounding the transportation mission and testified that the cargo was escorted by an armed guard, suggesting the material was considered extremely important or highly classified by military authorities implementing the Roswell cover-up.
According to independent documentation by Richard Dolan, Porter was the brother of Loretta Proctor, who with her son Dee Proctor discovered the Dee Proctor body site where two Roswell vehicle occupants were allegedly found after being thrown from the exploding Roswell craft. This family connection places Porter at the intersection of both the debris recovery and the non-human intelligent beings body recovery aspects of the Roswell incident.
Flight engineer background
Porter served as a flight engineer with the 830th Bomb Squadron, part of the 509th Bomb Group stationed at Roswell Army Air Field. His technical expertise with B-29 aircraft systems made him essential to the long-range transportation missions required to move exotic technology from the crash site to analysis facilities like Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The 509th Bomb Group was the world's first atomic bomb strike force, having conducted the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, which positioned its personnel as highly security-cleared operators capable of handling classified materials.
Testimony about security measures
Porter's testimony provided specific details about the security protocols surrounding the transportation of Roswell debris, confirming that "whatever was in the cargo hold was escorted by an armed guard who had been assigned to it from Roswell." This account supported researchers' conclusions that the material being transported was considered extraordinarily sensitive by military authorities coordinating the concealment of exotic technology operation.
According to Porter's account, one officer allegedly told him that the transported materials "were parts of a flying saucer," providing direct witness testimony to military personnel acknowledging the exotic nature of the debris being moved from Roswell to Fort Worth. This statement, if accurate, would represent one of the few recorded instances of military personnel explicitly identifying recovered materials as extraterrestrial in origin during the initial phases of the incident.
Family connections to Roswell incident
Porter's sister, Loretta Proctor, and her son Dee Proctor were among the civilian witnesses who allegedly observed the crash site locations before military cleanup operations removed all evidence. This family connection provided researchers with corroborating accounts from both military personnel involved in the transportation operation and civilian witnesses who had direct access to the crash sites.
The Proctor family's involvement in multiple aspects of the Roswell incident—from initial discovery of debris and bodies to military transportation of materials—illustrates the interconnected nature of witness testimony supporting the concealment of non-human intelligent beings interpretation of the July 1947 events.
