June Crain
From Razing-Wiki
First read about June Crain on the Majic Documents website. Crain was June's maiden name. After her first marriage she took her husbands name, June Cubbage, and following her second husband, June Kaba.

Method of Discovery
How I managed to wind my way to the page is rather amazing. Early in the day I was perusing change.gov. From that particular idea I found a username that suggested a website, ufothinktankdotcom. Out of curiosity I tried it out and found several videos of the obscure variety.
Clicking around I found something that sounded vaguely interesting, the Colorado UFO briefing. On that page I read the biographies of the people involved and Ryan S. Wood caught my fancy, he had both a bachelors of science in mathematics and a degree in computer-science. Further down it described a website he runs, archiving government documents and rating their authenticity. Clicking on `investigation team` I realized the quality of the people involved on the project. Names like Stanton T. Friedman and Jim Marrs made me look a little closer. One name I hadn't heard of before was Jim Clarkson. His biography was impressive enough that I thought it warranted investigating June Crain:
| “ | UFO researcher and State Section Director for the Seattle-area Mutual UFO Network, with a 20-year career as a detective in Washington State. Mr. Clarkson and his wife have specialized in investigating the story of June Crain, a former Air Force secretary who, before she died, revealed UFO-related secrets she had typed or overheard during the course of her work at Wright-Patterson AFB. See the Witnesses section to read her story.[1] | ” |
Notes from Clarkson / Crain transcript
The key take-aways from the manuscript is that she was at Wright Patterson AFB during the Roswell incident and in the process learned a great deal of what was going on behind the scenes. In 1990 she helped Kevin Randle with his book The Truth About the UFO Crash at Roswell, but for fear of being identified she asked to remain anonymous.
Something that stands out is that she contacted Clarkson in 1997 after the Air Force media campaign to discredit the Roswell Crash.
| “ | In 1997 the Air Force media campaign to discredit the Roswell Crash right before the celebration of the 50th anniversary, seriously backfired in the case of June Crain. I had not heard from her in four years, but June did not waste any time. She told me that she had heard enough on CNN about Roswell—Case Closed, and that it was a “damned lie.”[2] | ” |
The fact that she had nothing invested in the whole affair, she was making no money, suggests that the motivation behind her contacting Clarkson would be anger at what she saw as an officious lie. I suppose there's a slim chance she didn't like the idea of being thought of as a liar herself, but the documentation that she helped unearth suggests that isn't the case.
