Happy Sunday fellow travelers and welcome again to TWiUP’s Sunday at the movies.
Last Thursday was a very special edition of TWiUP and if you missed it take the opportunity to check it out. We did Kossack tales where several of our friends shared their stories of UFOs and it was just a whole lot of fun.
Before I begin on the subject of Roswell I have to tip my 40 to the Kossack who blazed the way in UFO discussion here on the Daily Kos Two Roadsand his truly excellent series Saturday Night Uforia. One of these days I hope TWiUP get’s as good as his series was. Two Roads spent a good deal of time discussing Roswell and the early days of UFOs and the diaries he produced on the subject are really entertaining. If you're lurking out there Two Roads you got a spot on this masthead for the asking.
Let warp over the orange eclair thing.
There have been a couple of interesting stories to come out of the Roswell front in the last few months This one from George Filer a retired Air Force Intelligence officer and from author Annie Jacobsen who postulated that the crash at Roswell was a plot by Joseph Stalin.
"It is my opinion that President Truman was there [at Fort Worth] and that he made the decision that it should be held at the highest levels," Filer said.
"The reason I believe that is that I had talked with Mrs. Ramey. She would never admit that she knew anything about aliens, but she did say that [her husband] was very embarrassed about having to lie about the weather balloon -- he was very upset about that."
"She also admitted that they became good friends with the Trumans," Filer added. "My point is: How does a one-star general become a good friend with the president of the United States?"
None of this comes as a surprise to former nuclear physicist Stanton T. Friedman. He's the original civilian investigator of the Roswell UFO incident and the most outspoken scientist who believes there is overwhelming evidence that alien spacecrafts are visiting Earth. He, too, has talked with Mrs. Ramey.
"From talking to her, I had no reason to believe A) that she knew intimate details about Roswell or any other such event; or B) that she made up this story because it is consistent with a man of reasonable character who followed orders as one would certainly have expected him to," Friedman said.
Both Filer and Friedman -- the military man and the scientist -- said they believe the Roswell UFO was an alien spacecraft, that Earth is currently visited by extraterrestrials and that only individuals with very specific "need to know" credentials have access to this information. Both are speaking at next week's MUFON Symposium in Irvine, Calif.
