I’ve known about Roswell for quite a while and my logic tells me something non-terrestrial crashed there.

Sadly, in another decade or so, there will be no living witnesses to what happened.

While it’s true that there are folks who are out on a limb and absolutely believe things no matter how crazy, I think it works the other way too.

There are folks who, if you walked up to them with an antigravity generator from Roswellm they would insist it was made by our own military.

So I guess to find the truth, you have to throw out the loonies on both ends of the spectrum. And when you do, you end up depending on eyewitness testimony of the locals and the low level military folks.

Most of which who say that whatever it was, there was no possible way it was anything of ours.

To me “Roswell” requires neither that it be accepted as “extra-terrestial” or that it be totally rejected as such.

It only requires suspension of total and absolutest judgment, either way; and in the fullness of time, some era of humanity will learn the full truth or falsity of it.

I find good arguments against many of the claims for it made by the “UFO” crowd, as well as good arguments that the government was trying to control what was the truth of it, for whatever reason. So, I accept that there are grounds for suspicion of the government’s efforts, while also believing the “truth” presented by the government’s critics is largely speculation and not totally “proven” either.

To me, it is not worthy of worrying about what the real truth is. I can live with either version and it won’t change me, my values, or what I believe about God, the universe or humanity.
