Gorightly On Roswell

By Nick Redfern

(Excerpted):

"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."
