When is this dead or should I say "mummified" horse be given a decent burial? We all know about the "Roswell" slide drama that purported to show slides of an alien body tied to the Roswell crash in 1947. We know how the big reveal ended up in the presentation in Mexico. The body in the case was that of a Native American child and was on exhibit in the Mesa Verde Museum. This was found out by de-blurring the placard next to the body. There are accounts that match the placard in articles in the Region III Quarterly. The authors described the child by copying for the most part what the placard read.
"Another excellent mummy in the Mesa Verde Museum is that of a small boy of perhaps two or three. X-rays of the teeth have not been taken so the exact age is uncertain. The body is well mummified, but small patches of skin are missing and the lower part of the right leg has disappeared. The skin has lost all of its former color and is an uninteresting dull gray shade. Part of a small slip-over cotton shirt still hangs around the shoulders. Several pieces of cotton in which the body was wrapped are well preserved. This mummy is not popular with visitors. It has such a negative personality that it has never been named. Even though it is well preserved, it fails to click. The spark is not there; that certain something is missing." http://www.nps.gov/parkhistory/online_books/region_111/vol2-1c.htm
The actual inscription on the placard.
1. My personal first red flag was when the announcement of these slides just came out of nowhere from Jim Carey at a panel discussion at American University in Washington D.C. This is a very prestigious school and there were so many of us in the field that were excited to see such a dignified place allowing discussions of the UFO phenomenon. A place where this subject could be approached in a logical, scientific and sensible manner. It was heartwarming that so many students signed up and attended this event. We need more young people in this field and young people that are serious and take a scientific approach to this phenomenon. But then, Carey comes in and basically says...
Say what? You folks are claiming you have slides that prove the existence of aliens and not just any aliens but the Roswell alien.But they can't show it to the public yet. The reveal will be announce later. Are you kidding me? You are holding evidence of the greatest discovery of mankind and you're holding it back to be presented at a later date? If one knew they had 100% irrefutable proof of an alien or ET they would be the one most famous people in the world besides Elvis of, except for one thing....
2. When it comes to aliens and UFOs, a photograph can only tell you so much. If an alien ship landed in my front yard and I got beautiful shots of it with my Canon it would be of interest in a huge way but how would anyone really prove that this was indeed an alien craft? It could be a fiberglass prop. CGI would easily be discovered as there are so many experts out there that can identify it. But still, all I have is a photograph. I have no physical evidence whatsoever. No metal, no landing marks, nothing. You get my point? Because that is what scientists look at. They incorporate all sorts of data to solve problems. Without any hard data they just don't have anything to work with. It's not that they disbelieve a person it's just that without any hard data they just don't have anything to work with.
3. So let's move right on to the slides of the body itself. When the slide leak came out so many of us saw this as a mummified child. It is clear that the body in the photograph is lying on a glass shelf with a placard placed at the bottom of it's right leg. Ask yourself, would the USAF display an alien body in a glass case with a museum type placard beside it? If the Air Force indeed had an alien body this is not the way it would be stored and tourists, no matter how well heeled they were would not have access to such a thing. I have been to many, many museums and am familiar with placards next to exhibits. That is the way museums work. That is not the way the military works. How could anyone actually believe that the Air Force would put the body of an ET in a glass case and allow civilians to photograph it? As I've said before, one of the greatest discoveries of mankind and it is displayed in this manner. Not a chance.
4. Now let's get down to why the photo was not a smoking gun. It's one thing for a private dick to get compromising photos of a couple in a compromised situation, hey that's pretty self explanatory but a photo of a humanoid type being lying on a glass case is quite different. How would one go about doing any forensic test on a photo? Yes, there's a funny looking body lying there in a glass case but how do we know if it's fake or real? We have no body to get a tissue sample, DNA, or anything else. So how do we assume this body is an alien? There is no way because there is no physical body to examine. So all one has is a couple of slides with what looks like a humanoid body lying on a glass shelf. From the beginning I saw nothing alien about the body whatsoever. I've seen mummies in the Southwest and Egypt and that was the first thing that came to my mind. I wasn't alone in that belief and our group were called the debunkers and naysayers. People just couldn't seem to understand that there is just so much in you can glean from a photo and determining if a body is a human or alien is impossible because of lack of physical evidence. All you have is a photo. Part 2 tomorrow.
