Roswell incident not explained to Richardson’s satisfaction

ROUND ROCK, Texas — If he wins his bid for the White House, Democratic presidential candidate Bill Richardson may be just the man to get to the bottom of the 60-year-old Roswell UFO mystery.

Answering questions at a townhall meeting Friday, a Dell employee asked Richardson about the 1947 incident in which many people still believe a flying saucer landed near the eastern New Mexico town.

“I’ve been in government a long time, I’ve been in the cabinet, I’ve been in the Congress and I’ve always felt that the government doesn’t tell the truth as much as it should on a lot of issues,” said Richardson, who is governor of New Mexico.

“When I was in Congress I said (to the) Department of Defense … ‘What is the data? What is the data you have?’ “

He was told that the records were classified.

“That ticked me off,” he said, as the crowd laughed.

“What do you want me to do? You want me to open up all those files?” he asked the alien enthusiast, who answered that he did.

“I’ll work with you on that.”

Roswell has become a Mecca for conspiracy theorists in the years since a July 8, 1947, press release sent from Roswell Army Air Base disclosed the recovery of “a flying disk” at a ranch near Roswell.

The next day, higher-ranking officers said the debris came from a weather balloon that crashed; authorities displayed some bits and pieces.

More than 30 years passed, and the incident was generally forgotten. But then, an Army officer who took part in the recovery of the debris came forward to assert that it had been from an alien spacecraft, and that the government had engaged in a cover-up.

Eventually, the Air Force disclosed it had been part of Project Mogul, a top-secret effort to monitor Soviet-era nuclear testing. But that story never satisfied believers who advanced tales of alien bodies recovered in the desert.

Wonkette(?) Misses the Boat on ETs

The well-known blogger Wonkette(which as far as I can tell, is no longer even being written by a and is a corporate sponsored blog)recently wrote a pretty misleading and ill-informed article about Stephen Bassett’s recent National Press Club Press Club conference on ETs in DC.

The article makes silly references to ‘ET monsters’ that are going to invade Earth, and the fact that Bassett’s conference is proof that anyone can get a room at the NPC.

The author didn’t seem to bother to mention that the 2001 Disclosure Project at the National Press Club was one of the largest NPC meetings to date.

The author also confuses the meteorite that recently landed in Peru with ETs.

Yes, Peruvians who are getting close to this meteorite are getting sick, but it may have more to do with some toxic substances that were already in the ground at the time of impact.

I don’t tend to buy the fact that aliens have it in for planet Earth:

1) It seems that there might be more effective means to take over the world than by dropping a rock into the ground, particularly in the country of Peru. Maybe DC itself, or some more important economic or government institution would be more a much more powerful statement.

2)If ETs were going to successfully attack Earth, it would have been better to have done it before WWII, before we had the atomic bomb fully developed. Who knows what all weapons the government has developed since the 1940s.

3)What do we have that they want anyway? Carbon dioxide?

Why don’t reporters or the many readers of his/her blog ask these glaringly obvious questions?

Why do these people think its idiotic that we might consider that we aren’t the only ones in the universe?

Daniel Sheehan on Citizen Responsibility for UFO Disclosure

Another good article by Brian Hamby.

That attorney Daniel Sheehan is a mover and shaker within government circles is a little bit of an understatement.

He has degrees from Harvard in government, law and divinity and he established the Christic Institute in Washington D.C., and has been legal counsel on many high profile cases, such as Karen Silkwood, Iran-Contra, the American Sanctuary Movement, the Pentagon papers, Three Mile Island and Watergate.

Be The Change That You Want To See In The World

I would like to bring your attention to a great article written by Brian Hamby. It’s an article that brings us to questions and to get us thinking, what can we do? How are we going to make a difference? Are we going to act and leave a better world to our children and the generations following?

The last week or so I’ve put up some pretty unnerving information, particularly in reference to that of Dr. Carol Rosin. She has stated that through repeated warnings from the late Dr. Werner Von Braun and through meetings she attened within the US in the late 1970s, that certain groups with in the government have been planning to stage attacks by terrorists, rogue nations and eventually extra-terrestrials in order to justify putting up a completely unnecessary and dangerous missle defense system.

When reading about these types of things that are normally referred to as ‘conspiracies’ one of two reactions occur. That this is just another nut-brained theory that should be just as easily dismissed as it was found without a second thought. Or, that there may be some truth to it but what if anything can be done about it. Besides, with the exception of boarding airplanes and leaving and entering the country post 9/11, most of us are just fine and we really don’t need to know too much about this kind of thing.

These are all understandable reactions, and they are much easier to accept than the implications of what Dr. Rosin is suggesting about our government. …
