MAY 13, 17 .. ROSWELL NEW MEXICO .. JULY 1947

"Patti, My Dear One, now that we have finished our visit here at White Sands National Park, what do you think of us driving over to Roswell?"

"Oh Cap! I would love to go to Roswell. I have always wanted to go there!"

There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all argument, and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance. This principle is, contempt prior to examination. Herbert Spencer.

Herbert Spencer (27 April 1820 – 8 December 1903) was an English philosopher, prominent classical liberal political theorist, and sociological theorist of the Victorian era. He developed an all-embracing conception of evolution as the progressive development of the physical world, biological organisms, the human mind, and human culture and societies. He is most famous for coining the phrase "survival of the fittest".

Right-up-front, I am NOT  going to brief you, nor familiarize you, with the events in the Roswell, New Mexico, area that occurred in early July of 1947.

IF you don't know about this ( Because you have been living under a rock someplace and have NO clue .. ) then go to Google and type in the below:

1. Roswell, NM July 1947.

2. Roswell UFO Incident.

Patti and I recently met an extremely 'learned' man who lives in the greater Santa Fe, NM area. He holds a PhD in Physics and spent a large part of his career at The Lab at Los Alamos, New Mexico.**

** Google: The Lab at Los Alamos.

Personally I greatly admire physicists. So it was a bit-of-a-kick to visit with him up-close-and-personal across his kitchen table.

As Patti and I visited with him, 

I asked him, 

"Have you ever visited Roswell, have you visited the UFO Center in Roswell?"

"IT was just a weather balloon!" he proclaimed.

"No!" He again exclaimed as I pressed him just a tad. "IT was just a weather balloon!"

One potato, Two potato, Three potato, Four .. I dropped all mention of Roswell like a Hot Potato.

This 81-year-old, elderly, learned scientist, has never been to Roswell to study the evidence and yet he is sure it was a weather balloon!

Even I know where and when to drop IT.

"Here we are, My Dear One, Roswell."

THE INTERNATIONAL UFO MUSEUM RESEARCH CENTER, ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO

This side-view of the building shows you that it is very large.

The time has come to go inside. Large and spacious entry.

I .. was .. shocked .. at .. the .. low .. admission .. price!!

Admission was ONLY Three U.S. Dollars apiece ($3).

We could go in, we could go out, all day long. Few if any restrictions. 

These nifty admission stickers identified us.

Patti and I went directly into the movie theater to catch the afternoon movie.

The absolutely fascinating movie is a DO-NOT-MISS experience.

The RAAF above was the Roswell Army Air Field.

Come to Roswell. 

See the movie. 

Explore the Museum. 

THEN YOU DECIDE :

Did something happen here, on a farm near Corona, New Mexico, 70-miles Northwest of Roswell, in early July of 1947?

But until you come here, until you examine the evidence, DO NOT assume you know what happened. Because, based upon our visit, it looks like what happened was NOT what was reported to the U.S. and World public.

Come here. Study and investigate the evidence. THEN, and only THEN, tell me it was a weather balloon!

Little did we know, little did we suspect, that four (4) Alien creatures were found. One Alien, helplessly on the ground, was alive and moving its head.

An autopsy was performed on one.

OK, time to show you some of the Museum.

The main part of the Museum is laid out such that you can walk in a very long, elliptical loop around the displays and be sure you have seen them all.

I know, I understand, YOU want to see the Aliens.

Can any one of you grasp the amount of information I am going to show you that is collected and stored in the Museum! 

Patti and I were not able to grasp the magnitude of stored information. How could you?

Wait! We have just begun to show you the Archived materials in storage.

Oh Yes! Yes Indeed! There are yet more archived materials in storage.

A weather balloon? Sure thing? And I am an astronaut! Sure it was a weather balloon! And I have wings and I can fly!

About this time, practically lost in the massive archives, I ran out of steam and stopped snapping photographs. 

A mock-up of the radio studio where the world heard about the events unfolding in early July of 1947 in the Roswell, New Mexico area.

In the above photo, to the right in the distance you can see the below bits of memorabilia.

Across the main lobby below is a very nice gift shop.

As our visit ended, we were stunned, we were speechless, at what Patti and I viewed.

As I sign off here for the two of us, we remain stunned and speechless.

"Aw-w-w-w C'mon Captain! You don't really believe this stuff do you?"

There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all argument, and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance. This principle is, contempt prior to examination. Herbert Spencer.

YOU come to Roswell, New Mexico. 

YOU see what we saw. 

THEN, AND ONLY THEN, CAN WE HAVE A REAL CONVERSATION.

WE could return to Roswell in a New-York-Minute! Believe It!
