Gorightly on Roswell
Adam Gorightly gives his views on last month’s Roswell UFO Festival, at which both me and Greg spoke.
Adam - who was also a speaker at the event (on the controversy of the Contactees) - states in part in his review of the weekend event:
“To some, challenging the Roswell-dead-alien-theory is akin to roasting Ufology’s most sacred cow, which Nick pointed out during Sunday’s speaker’s panel. Unfortunately, there are those within the UFO field who see Roswell as the fundamental linchpin holding the entire ET Hypothesis together, and that if Roswell is proven to be something other than an alien crash, it might indeed bring down a whole Ufological house of cards, which is rather short sighted, but is nonetheless the sentiment I seem to pick up on when–among the Ufological set–anyone dares challenge the Roswell crash as anything other than extraterrestrial in origin. Which is not to say that Mr. Redfern (or your humble author, for that matter) has come to a definitive conclusion as to what happened at Roswell although Nick seems as open as anyone to the possibility of ET’s visiting our planet. The point he was trying to make is that we need to look objectively at all UFO cases, not only Roswell, and let the truth lead us where it may. (Leave your agendas at the door, please.) And if indeed Roswell was something other than an alien crash, then let’s be willing to face those facts as they emerge, and then get on with further research.”

I sympathize with this view so very completely.
My own source has just as solid military credentials as any of those relating to the Roswell dogma and he has insisted for thirty (30) years that the craft was NOT extraterrestrial nor were the bodies.
UFOlogy has been as stick-assed as mainstream science on this issue, and I feel it’s mostly to sell books and speaking engagements and DVDs, just as academia refuses to teach anything other than outdated dogma because the professors have houses to pay for and textbooks to sell.
There have been dissenting voices for decades who generally end up walking away from the field because of the narrow vision of those who populate it and control the channels of communication. The mistake in letting these voices go silent is that we lose what can be gained from fresh perspectives.
I know I’ll be ignored by a lot of these people because I’m the ‘asshole’ who agrees Roswell was NOT an extraterrestrial event. It wasn’t crash-test dummies, it wasn’t balloons, but it wasn’t Zeta Reticulans either. There is more history supporting the non-ET hypothesis than there is to support the ET dogma, but it’s not the currently popular idea.
For the record, I believe ET exists. There is a TON of historical evidence for it. I’m saying Roswell was NOT an ET issue. I’m saying the the truth is so much more than just ET.
Like Vallee said, our world is just a subset of something bigger…
