This Week's Episode: Gene and special guest cohost Tim Swartz present Greg Lawson, the Paranormal Detective, who offers a forensic examination of Roswell testimony in connection with his book, Roswell: The After-Action Report,which may be the last word on the legendary UFO crash story. The Roswell episode is possibly the most investigated and controversial UFO case in history. There are no shortages of beliefs and opinions to the actual events of this unusual happening. Dozens of corroborated witnesses and hundreds of professed witnesses have been interviewed, each with their varying degree of credibility. Lawson, a veteran detective, uses forensic statement analysis and his thousands of hours of training and experience to review the cultural influence, historical context, and eyewitness testimony of those closest involved. He has spent much of his adult life investigating strange places. From the first Russian colony in Three Saints Bay, Alaska to the pyramids of Egypt, he has explored paranormal hot spots in over 40 countries.

After The Paracast — Available exclusively for Paracast+ subscribers on October 24: The Paranormal Detective, Greg Lawson, returns for further discussions of his detailed forensic analysis of Roswell testimony, as described in his book, Roswell: The After-Action Report. He talks about the value of so-called deathbed confessions, whether they can be trusted, and why some soldiers and other alleged eyewitnesses might have lied about their experiences related to the 1947 report of a crashed UFO. Is the Roswell case ever going to be solved, or will it remain the stuff of legend? Lawson is a career law enforcement officer currently assigned as a lieutenant in the patrol division. Recently he was the supervisor for a lake patrol and scuba team specializing in aquatic death investigation. He has worked as a hostage negotiator, as a SWAT entry team member, and as a homicide detective. He also served a combined 10-years in the US Army, Navy, and Air Force. Our special guest cohost is Tim Swartz.

Should We Just Forget the Old Stuff?
By Gene Steinberg

So most of you no doubt disbelieve the impression, conveyed by the Pentagon UAP Task Force, that the UFO mystery began with the Naval “Tic Tac” sightings in 2004. Compelling enough, with experienced observers reporting unexplained aircraft that exceeds the performance of anything we have built, it cries out for an explanation.

The first status report, released in June, was notable in that it made no attempt to debunk the phenomenon. Apparently only one of the cases described was solved, and it didn’t accept or deny the possibility that we are dealing with craft from offworld. But that wasn’t enough to please those hoping and praying for disclosure.

Worse, the expectation of a followup within 90 days has been dashed, and we are so far just getting silence. Maybe the Task Force said all it had to say, and there was nothing new to discuss. Maybe it was felt that the tepid response to the report clearly demonstrated that most people just didn’t care. The U.S. government rarely concerns itself with ET advocates or others who follow UFOs — or UAPs.

But what about all those sightings around the world since the end of World War II? Tens of thousands, millions?

What about Kenneth Arnold’s encounter on June 24, 1947 that essentially began the modern UFO era? What about Roswell? Well, that case came and went, and didn’t resurface until the late 1970s. Most of us who were exploring the phenomenon in those days never thought about crashes, except perhaps for the questionable Aztec, NM myth described in a book from a gossip columnist.

The real attention was focused on such encounters as the 1952 sightings in Washington, D.C. that were also observed on radar. Now that was something to talk about, even if the authorities quickly tried to wipe it all away with talk of temperature inversions and other conventional stuff.

People who claimed to have met up with human-like space beings from such nearby planets as Venus, Mars and Saturn received plenty of publicity, mostly guffaws but certainly some followers. I wonder how those people felt when it was discovered that such worlds were quite inhospitable to life as we know it.

I suppose we have our answer since George Adamski, one of the most prominent contactees of the 1950s, is still believed by some. In addition to his poor grasp of basic science, his description of a trip to the Moon clearly diverged from what we really know about our close celestial neighbor.

At least the abductions seemed more reasonable, since such relatively nearby locales aren’t part of the picture. When locations are specified, it’s about other star systems, which seems more logical.

But even the act of bringing people aboard a spaceship to undergo a sometimes painful physical examination makes little sense. An advanced civilization would surely have the means to perform such procedures without such invasive and primitive methodology. It’s just one of the logical fallacies of these experiences, but this is not an article about abductions. It may well be that, whatever is happening, the memories aren’t at all accurate.

Overall, however, it almost seems that we are being invaded, even if the invasion doesn’t necessarily involve violence or an otherwise overt attempt to influence our civilization. Some UFO researchers have estimated that millions of people have seen them. Even abductees number far more than the handful you’d expect if they are what they seem to be, just ETs kidnapping some specimens of Earth lifeforms for research, or even to engage in some sort of genetic manipulation.

A whole lot of debate continues about all these scenarios. Maybe the abductions exist solely in the minds of the experiencers, that they indicate some sort of event that is being interpreted in pop culture terms. If we didn’t live in a Star Trek/Star Wars environment, the descriptions might be quite different.

That assumes that reported encounters with fairies and elves and other small creatures centuries ago were based on a similar source. But even if it involved ET, they’d likely be interpreted that way, but why is it a constant phenomenon?

Indeed, these and other questions will have to be answered if the Task Force opens up its inquiry to older cases, and not just in the military. But that move would greatly complicate the investigative process, and would involve a far greater expenditure of money and personnel to assess what’s going on.

When it comes to all those older cases that Ufologists can’t set aside, all or most of the witnesses are dead. They are cold cases, and what’s left are the initial reports, media accounts, perhaps books and magazines and diaries and letters and emails and other documents of what occurred. Cases would have to be traced back to their original sources in order to get a reasonably accurate picture what really happened.

When it comes to Roswell, the earliest memories were over 30 years old before researchers began to reconsider what went on. In other words, highly contaminated and likely to be inconsistent. And that’s a vast understatement.

It may take weeks or months to track down a single case as each generation of a report is examined and earlier sources consulted if they are even available.

In other words, it may not even make a whole lot of sense to focus too heavily on older sightings. The evidence is mostly anecdotal and inconsistent. Even when physical traces are found, there are still no smoking guns despite all the work of such researchers as the late Ted Phillips and others.

So the Socorro, NM UFO sighting in 1964 involved a landing. It was heavily documented, but there’s pretty much nothing more to consider, except to comb through the existing testimony for additional clues. And that’s been done over and over and over again.

Maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea to consider the older cases strictly as background material, matters of reference to seek out consistencies or contrasts in current reports. But not much more.

Unless there is a real Silence Group holding the secret of the saucers that disclosure advocates lust after, we are probably not going to find a crashed saucer in a hidden hangar somewhere. If such physical evidence were being evaluated, actively or otherwise, why would there be a need for a Pentagon UAP Task Force anyway?

Maybe i’s all a cover story to conceal evidence of a genuine Cosmic Watergate, but with Roswell it appears we’ll never know. And that makes even less sense.

So maybe it is better to treat everything as something altogether new and make a concerted effort to consider the meaning behind the current sightings. If it is a significant finding, such as the presence of ET, and it can be proven conclusively, the value of the older cases would surely come to the fore soon enough.

Maybe there is a method in the Task Force’s seeming madness after all. Or maybe they have no method.
