Possible request for comment on 2002 Walter Haut affidavit

2002 Walter Haut affidavit.

After some thought, I think this RFC should happen before the other one I suggested.

WP:RFC says: "RfCs are time consuming, and editor time is valuable. Editors should try to resolve their issues before starting an RfC. Try discussing the matter with any other parties on the related talk page. If you can reach a consensus or have your questions answered through discussion, then there is no need to start an RfC."

Info about the 2002 Walter Haut affidavit was previously mentioned in the article here but was removed. I think it should be returned, and I don't think it is too much of an ask. I think it is a smear on his legacy to only mention his involvement with the initial 1947 news article, and his subsequent cooperation with its coverup due to orders from higher ups.

His legacy is that he refuted the coverup, and said that there were 2 crash sites, and that he had seen a craft, alien bodies, and handled wreckage material. Rather than duplicate what is written elsewhere, please see:
 * Talk:Roswell incident/Archive 8
 * Talk:Walter Haut

The 2002 affidavit is also mentioned in the current (and stable for half a year) version of his article:
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Walter_Haut&oldid=1205816459

As far as I know there has never been an RFC for this topic in this article.
