William Drager
William Drager is a former US Air Force member who served as a Spanish-language interpreter and provided a formal affidavit corroborating elements of the 1955 Robert Willingham UAP crash account near Langtry, Texas. His testimony first appears in researcher Leonard Stringfield's UFO Crash Retrievals reports, in an entry labeled "Del Rio, Texas, 1950" — a dating discrepancy consistent with the broader conflation of two separate Del Rio-area incidents in UFO literature.

Role in the Japanese Documentary
Drager was hired as an interpreter for a Japanese documentary crew investigating a UAP crash involving a colonel near the US-Mexico border. Working on behalf of the production, Drager contacted a Mexican general who commanded the border region encompassing the alleged crash site. In private, the general acknowledged: "Yes, I know about that. I don't have any papers or documents to prove it, but due to my position I know about that." During on-camera filming, however, the same general denied all knowledge and evaded questions about the incident and UFOs. Drager described the general as "beyond reproach" and a "military celebrity" in Mexico.
Drager, Robert Willingham, and the film crew met together with the general. The documentary has not been publicly identified or located, though screenshots from the production appear in Noah Torres and Ruben Uriarte's 2008 book The Other Roswell: UFO Crash on the Texas Border.
