Local News | Area 51 vets break silence: Sorry, but no space aliens or UFOs | Seattle Times Newspaper: "He remembers that a local deputy had either witnessed the crash or had quickly arrived at the scene. There also was a family on a vacation car trip who had taken photos.

'We confiscated the camera, took the film out,' says Noce. 'We just said we worked for the government.'

He says the deputy and the family were told not to talk to anybody about the crash, especially the press.

'We told them there would be dire consequences,' Noce says. 'You scared them.'

As an added incentive, he says, the CIA arrived with a briefcase full of cash.

'I think it was like 25 grand apiece, for the sheriff and the family,' says Noce.

Robarge says of cash payments to cover things up, 'It was common practice.'"
