“My Dad Is A Pathological Liar,” Says Witness’ Son

‘On July 23, 2022– many months earlier than I revealed a phrase concerning the Trinity UFO-crash story and even thought of doing so– Sammy Padilla instructed a New Mexico State Police officer that “my dad is a pathological liar,” and expressed the idea that the Trinity UFO story was unfaithful.’

(which I imagine to be a non-existent occasion, a sloppy hoax). The opposite claimed 1945 eyewitness, Remigio (Reme) Baca, died in 2013.

Sammy Padilla’s statements to the New Mexico State Police (NMSP) have been recorded in video and audio by the physique cam of a NMSP officer who was dispatched in response to a request from Sammy Padilla, who wished to debate sure alleged habits by his father Jose, and who additionally appeared to have some issues he needed to get off his chest concerning the UFO story.

Sammy Padilla instructed the NMSP officer, “My dad claims he noticed a UFO when he was small. Properly, there’s these individuals from Europe. There is a lady particularly named Paola Harris, and he or she has gotten him to again issues up. And now they wrote a ebook about it, and now she’s writing a life story about him, and it will be made right into a film, supposedly, and all these things. Lots of people knew it was bullshit what he is saying.”

In an audio-recorded dialog with the NMSP dispatcher earlier the identical day, Sammy Padilla mentioned, “There’s some those who my dad received concerned with, as a result of he claimed to see a UFO. And now this lady– it isn’t my cousin, however this different lady, who’s writing a ebook about him, and telling him that this ebook goes to turn into a film, and he will be well-known. And so he is occurring these things. And I can let you know, from what I’ve heard from what he has instructed different individuals, they are not true.”

Further statements by Sammy Padilla pertaining to sure public claims by Jose Padilla are present in transcripts under, and within the body-cam recording.

New Mexico legislation requires legislation enforcement officers to activate their body-cams throughout such interactions with members of the general public. Such recordings (with sure redactions specified by legislation) are public data beneath the Inspection of Public Information Act (IPRA), which is a state legislation that’s in some methods just like the federal Freedom of Info Act (FOIA), however with fewer exclusions and exceptions. In New Mexico, many interactions between legislation enforcement officers and members of most people are accessible to anybody who submits a correctly formulated request, which is what I did. I acquired the body-cam recording on Might 24, 2023, together with an audio recording of an earlier dialog between Sammy Padilla and a NMSP dispatcher, and in addition a written report (“Occasion Info”) summarizing a few of that day’s communications between Sammy Padilla and the company personnel. All of those data have been generated by interactions between Sammy Padilla and NMSP personnel on July 23, 2022.

The Occasion Info report attributes to Sammy Padilla the extra assertion that his father “is an excellent liar.”
