It is time once again for the annual Roswell UFO Festival, July 2-5. This is, in my opinion, the top UFO-related event in the world, because the Roswell incident of 1947 has proven to be definitive in validating the UFO phenomenon.
Skeptics refuse to accept this, and even believers don't seem to realize just what it is about the Roswell story that proves UFOs are real. The debate just goes on and on, on radio talk shows mostly, although the solution has been right out in the open since the public was first informed, back on July 8, 1947.
The continuing performances of dedicated skeptics deriding UFOs is a monstrous fraud upon the public, which the public has been witless enough to let pass, because it has had little incentive and therefore little abiding interest in focusing upon the certain but supremely awkward truth.
The facts that prove the reality of the UFO crash near Roswell are these (and they are deceptively simple, so listen closely): 1) The military itself reported the crash to the world media as genuine,
and 2) The day after the initial public release of the story, higher military authority changed that story, claiming that the wreckage recovered was in fact a weather balloon array, mistaken for alien material by the Roswell air field personnel.
Why do these facts prove the UFO? Because both the intelligence officer and commanding officer of the Roswell military post examined the wreckage and confirmed its alien nature. (I won't dwell on the details here. You can best get them on roswellufomuseum.com and other sites dedicated to the event.)
These officers, with the added concurrence of the post's information officer, put out to the world the original story that they had retrieved a bonafide UFO of non-man-made materials.
These were the top officers of a wartime bomber group, one of the most serious occupations in the world. (If you haven't been in the military and don't know just how serious it was and is, in and out of war, check out the movie "Twelve O'Clock High", made in 1949 about a wartime bomber group.)
They would not begin to think of fooling around with such a story, they would have to have been insane to risk both their own and, even worse, the military's reputations. They were entirely professional and competent. They would not have identified the craft as alien without overwhelming evidence.
They were sincere in their identification and honest and quick in sending out the story to the world. These career military officers were never impugned in their character, honesty or on-going competence in their duties.
Military higher-ups did, however, impugn their basic competence to recognize military hardware, when they issued pictures of the intelligence officer, Jesse Marcel, with supposed crash material, in which that material was obviously flimsy tin foil attached to thin wooden sticks - a childish fake, perpetrated upon an all-too-trusting public more than ready to laugh rather than look closely, in the years following a long and desperate war.
The Roswell officers went along with this deception, under orders, but the issuing of this obviously flimsy story in fact proved the reality of the UFO, because it is simply inconceivable that a competent army intelligence officer, of a wartime bomber group (post-World War II, in 1947, but into the Cold War by then), would not see what any teenage model builder could see was faked "crash" material......
3. The author has never worked with the military, the government nor any other huge bureaucracy.....
Also if it was just a weather balloon, why cover it up and force Marcel to pose with obvious cellophane an sticks.
Actually there are three facts. The third is that John Denver was born in Roswell almost 9 months to the day after the crash.
That one seals it for me.
The best part is, these "special" binoculars only cost $3,500.00
What a deal!!
LOL
Yes but Denver went out in a plane crash, not a weather balloon. Explain that one!
I worked in Roswell twice in 2001 and got to visit the hanger area where the craft was supposedly taken at first. I also talked with several local folks my age that were kids when all of this happened in 1947. To a person they all told the same story; their parents were threatened by the military with physical harm if they talked about the crash. I personally believe that those Germans that we relocated down there after World War II (the ones that had conducted the horrific high altitude decompression tests on live prisoners) had something to do with the saucer and the mutated things inside.
Still that does not provide proof. If anything it goes in the opposite direction. In the run up to dropping the bomb, the 509th had had to deal with leaks, security risks, and curious snoops. They developed both security measures and disinformation techniques. They would never have simply released details about a flying saucer. The level of classification would have been extraordinary. But they may have created a disinformation to cover something else, like the high altitude baloons being deployed to observe Soviet atomic tests.
Oh my gosh. Do you know what you are implying??? The strong implication is that an alien was doing unspeakable things with John Denver’s mother. Oh my gosh. I can’t get my arms around that one.
Rocky Mountain High!
Yes, it really was an unidentified flying somethingorother.
You said — Actually there are three facts. The third is that John Denver was born in Roswell almost 9 months to the day after the crash.

Ummmm..., Al Gore was born about 9 months after the Roswell incident. I don’t know where, though... LOL...
How else can you explain John Denver?
I meant 1947 when the event was reported. I must have been thinking of the number of states in the union
I have no doubt there is life elsewhere in this galaxy; it never visited New Mexico however.
I’d love it if there were spacecraft from other worlds coming to earth for a visit. My problem is that, with thousands of reported sightings and indirect evidence, there’s no concrete proof of anything alien.
Also, I’m skeptical because if there was one visit, say, the Roswell incident, by aliens, why the heck haven’t they come back for another visit?
I'm laughing here. Did they use their UFO intel recognition cards to identify it? People get corrected the next day, week, month, all the time.
Additionally, the Newspaper strikes me as odd. Would a credible story of an alien space ship recovery in one's home town really get pushed to the right by "Movies as Usual", an international meeting in Paris, stacked court martials, tax cuts AND a UN arms reduction recommendation? I think not.
An overly excitable reaction by the AAF personnel and/or a local Barney Fife type reporter are more likely.
