Revisiting The Past
Over the years, the U.S. government has given several explanations for the Roswell UFO crash, mostly involving balloons and crash dummies. Yes, the crash dummies weren’t around until several years after the event, but one shouldn’t let such irritating things as facts get in the way.
But the real question is why bother to continue to unearth details of an event that occurred over 60 years ago? Aren’t there more recent cases where all or most of the primary witnesses are still among the living?
This is the question that comes up every single time such vintage sightings are discussed, and there is merit to the skepticism. As much as I’d like to get to the bottom of these cases, there may come a time when there’s just no more evidence to be found, at least until the government gets around to telling us what they actually know.
However, that time may not yet be at hand. Even now, devoted researchers into the reported crashes as such locations as Aztec and Roswell are busy talking to witnesses and examining documents. I may be morbid in suggesting that it’s a bug rush to “beat the undertaker,” but it’s also true that most of the original witnesses to these events are no longer with us. Indeed much of the interviews these days involve family and friends.
There is a big problem in investing so much credibility in one or more of these older cases. Even if you assume that Roswell and other early UFO events are exactly what they purport to be, involving intelligently controlled metallic aircraft of unknown origin, there are thousands upon thousands of more recent cases where evidence is far easier to come by.
Whether it’s those incredible 1980 UFO encounters in Rendlesham Forest in the UK, or other compelling reports, there is a rich resource of witnesses and documents to investigate. You don’t have to fret over potentially faded memories that may have been polluted by popular culture and the ravages of old age.
When it comes to Rendlesham, I distinctly remember when John Burroughs, an eyewitness, sat not ten feet from me in my studio last June to record an episode of The Paracast. His voice, his presence, clearly evoked honesty, and I could see the pain in his eyes as he recalled the frightening memories that had not faded in 29 years.
Now that’s just one notable case that’s still ripe for further investigation. There are many others that deserve ongoing research. Many of the more-respected UFO-oriented books published over the years recount those cases, often in exquisite detail. Or just go online and spend a few hours, sidestepping the crazy stories promising imminent visits from the Space Brothers of course. Whether you prefer Google, Microsoft Bing, or any other search engine, the repository of solid UFO information is positively huge.
You may also want to check out the thousands of pages of documents that have been released by various governments around the world, including the recent disclosures from the UK. Sure, some fine details may be redacted, and it’s a sure thing that a lot of information has been withheld. But it’s a good start. You don’t have to live in the past to discover the extraordinary amount of evidence that indicates that something real is happening when it comes to the presence of UFOs on our planet.
Peace,
