As the OP article states, Berlitz and Moore
"wrote that weather balloon story was a cover-up. that not only was the stuff 'Mac' Brazel found was from a flying saucer but that the Army had discovered the crashed saucer itself and the bodies of it's alien crew."
Also mentioned in the Albuquerque Journal article was Frank Kimbler, an assistant professor of Earth Sciences at the New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell.
"A craft of unknown origin crashed in the New Mexico desert and scared the hell out of the American military and out of people (witnesses) to the point they won't talk about it today," Kimbler said.
Don Schmitt, also mentioned in the article, is the co-author of five books about the Roswell incident.
He and co-author Tom Carey talked to people who actually handled the material (debris found by Brazel)
"He said the first 10 witnesses all said the same thing about the debris, that it was like metal but it wasn't, it was like plastic but it wasn't, that it couldn't be cut or burned or creased."
Schmitt is no "flying saucer nut"
He is the former co-director of the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies, which was started by J. Allen Hynek, who was professor of Astronomy at Ohio State University, and later, Chairman of the Astronomy Department at Northwestern University.
During the 1950s & 1960s, Professor Hynek was the astronomical consultant to the United States Air Force's Project Blue Book.

(From The Guardian, August 28, 2013)
"Roswell Author Who Says He Handled UFO Crash Debris Dies At 76"
Flight surgeon Jesse Marcel Jr. said his air force father brought home debris from Roswell crash site in 1947.
Over the past 35 years, Marcel appeared on TV shows, documentaries and radio shows, was interviewed for magazines and books and traveled the world lecturing about his experiences in Roswell.
His wife, Linda, said: "He was credible. He wasn't lying. He never embellished, only told what he saw."
Marcel's father was an Air Force intelligence officer and reportedly the first military officer to investigate the wreckage in early July 1947, when Marcel was 10.
Marcel said his father brought home some of the debris and woke him up in the middle of the night to look at it, telling him it was something he would never see again.
His father maintained that the debris "was not of this Earth."
"They were told to keep it quiet and they did for years and years," Linda Marcel said.
Interest in the case was revived, however, when the physicist and UFO researcher Stanton Friedman spoke to Marcel's father in the late 1970s.
Friedman wrote the forward to Marcel's 2007 book "The Roswell Legacy" and described him as a courageous man who "set a standard for honesty and decency and telling the truth."
