Roswell UFO Radio
This coming sunday (yes, I know: April 1…!), I’ll be appearing on Guy Malone’s Live From Roswell radio show that is broadcast from deep within the heart of none other than sunny Roswell, New Mexico.
I’ll be on the show from around 12.30PM to 2.00PM Mountain Time, and will be discussing my books Body Snatchers in the Desert (a study of the events at Roswell in July 1947); and On the Trail of the Saucer Spies (which looks at how and why government, military, and intelligence agencies have secretly spied on the UFO research community since the late 1940s).
We’ll be getting into a discussion of other UFO and Fortean-related areas, too (one being the strange story of the alleged links between the Roswell UFO crash and the still-controversial death of Hollywood babe Marilyn Monroe - a story that features prominently in my newly-published book, Celebrity Secrets: Governnment Files on the Rich and Famous). For details of Guy’s show, check out this link.
Guy is also the organizer of the Roswell UFO Festival that is held in town each year; and both me and Greg will be speaking there this year. If you’re interested in attending the Roswell UFO Festival, click here. With this year being the 60th anniversary of the Roswell UFO crash, it promises to be a significant event.
And for X-Files fans, Dean Haglund (Langley from the show’s “Lone Gunmen”) will also be there, too.

I’ll be sure to listen.

Nick,
I was just browsing back through Body Snatchers and a question occurred to me. Have you explored the idea that “The Roswell Incident” might be more than one thing; that it might be what you described in Body Snatchers, but that there may also be genuine ET UFO there as well? There were purportedly more than one crash. Would your Body Snatchers interpretation necessarily prohibit the possibility that our government was hiding the ongoing war crimes and used that massive cover up as an umbrella to cover over ufological events, and maybe even other things that have not yet come to light?

That is a possibility, and it opens up the biggest problem about Roswell, which is this:
The case is 60 years old, practically everyone who had some direct involvement is dead, and the government says there are no files to support any theory for Roswell - not even its own theories on Mogul and the crash test dummies (a lot of people actually forget or overlook the fact that the USAF admitted that the Mogul and Dmmy theories were just theories and that they didn’t find any firm supporting evidence).
So, as much as I hate to say it, while I do think that the Japanese/secret test device has merit, I do not think we stand a chance in hell of solving Roswell.
Equally, it could be that ET really crashed, or that it was Mogul, or that it was all a fuss over a weather balloon.
Or maybe it was something else.
But how do we go beyond the point of confirming that something crashed, the government exhibited concern, and something was hidden?
That’s the problem, and it’s also why Roswell has polarized the UFO research community into different camps - because everything is either based on witness reports and “I was told this” type tales.
That’s exactly what my sources for Body Snatchers said: that they learned of the Japanese angle at least half a decade after it happened, and from briefing documents.
But could those documents have either told half the story or have been complete lies to hide the fact that aliens really did crash?
Yep, and I’ve never denied this.
I think we need to keep studying the case to try and get answers; but I’m a realist and, with practically everyone dead (hell, even Jesse Marcel Jr who was a young kid at the time is is his 70s now!), the government officially stating on the record that it has no files on the case, I just don’t see how we can take it beyond where it’s at now.
I wrote a post sometime ago for this blog demonstrating the similarities between the Roswell case and Jack the Ripper research, which I believe still stands up.
Many ufologists desperately “want” Roswell to be alien; and maybe it was (or maybe it wasn’t). But I think that unless the Government has definitive proof which it is hiding (which is of course a possibility), then I think - unfortunately - we’ll be asking the sorts of questions that you are asking a 100 years from now.
For the record, here’s the various theories that have been advanced for the Roswell crash and the alien bodies that could conceivably have merit (in varying degrees - some will of course disagree with the merit of these theories):
1. Aliens;
2. Weather Balloon;
3. Mogul Balloon;
4. Crash Test Dummies;
5. Some sort of early rocket test with monkeys on board;
6. The Body Snatchers scenario;
7. Mac Tonnies’ Cryptoterrestrial theory;
8. A doorway opened by Jack Parsons as a result of the Babalon Working (something I’m delving into deeply right now);
9. An atomic/chemical/biologial accident of some sort;
10. A Russian or foreign device;
11. Time travellers (I think this is nonsense, but has been suggested);
12. A crash of an early flying wing type aircraft;
13. Testing of a captured “Nazi Saucer”;
14. A psychological disinformation campaign staged to try and convince the Soviets at the height of the Cold War that the West had access to captured, highly advanced alien technology;
15. And I’m sure there are some I’ve forgotten!

It’s funny that you suggest time-traveler as one possibility. My wife, God bless her, is firmly convinced that there are time travelers among us of whom we know nothing. When I ask her what sort of supporting evidence she has her only response is that she thinks time travel is possible, and if it is possible the urge to go back and observe history (to say nothing of possibly interfering with it,) would be an irresistable one for us mere mortals. I just can’t personally swallow it without some more substantive evidence, John Titor et al nothwithstanding.
I had one other question regarding Roswell, and as you (and others here) are of the British persuasion, I’m wondering if any concerted effort at getting to the truth of Roswell has ever been made via British intelligence/military records. I mean, you guys were our primary WWII allies and it strikes me as odd that if we had some kind of astonishing information (whichever direction it went in,) regarding Roswell, that we wouldn’t have shared it with our closest ally. Anything like that ever been seriously pursued that you know of?

Raven:
That’s a very interesting question (and quite a synchronistic one, too), and here’s why.
As you know, yesterday I wrote an extensive review of Dave Clarke and Andy Roberts’ latest book “Flying Saucerers” (see: http://www.ufomystic.com/the-redfern-files/flying-saucerers-has-landed/).
Interestingly, that book tells the strange story of a chap named Bernard Newman who wrote a novel titled “The Flying Saucer” that was published in 1948.
I have that book and it’s an intriguing one, because it deals with (a) a UFO crash in New Mexico (and elsewhere too); (b) a faked alien autopsy (shades of Santilli); (c) a plan to create a faked alien threat to try and unite the world (shades of Ronald Reagan’s comments); (d) hoaxed alien crashes designed to add weight to this threat hypothesis; (e) stories of heiroglyph type markings on the wreckage (shades of Marcel Jr’s memories); and (f) tales of super-tough metal (shades of Brazel and Marcel Sr.)
The interesting thing is that the the author of this novel, Bernard Newman had intriguing ties to British Intelligence.
Did he know of the truth of an alien spacecraft at Roswell? Did he know of a plan to create faked crashed UFO stories to hide something else? Or was a plan once put into place to try and spook the Soviets into believing that the West had access to advanced alien technology?
Dunno. But Dave and Andy’s book is worth buying for this section alone, as it’s a truly strange story.
I’ve heard tales of Roswell data held by UK authorities (Jenny Randles was told a story along these lines by a former British soldier in 1986. I interviewed Randles about this extensively years ago and the interview appears in my “On the Trail of the Saucer Spies” book.)
