The Roswell Slides: The Alien Autopsy, all over again!
Insightful readers of what’s going on with the so-called
Roswell slides can see that the whole thing is heading in the direction of the
befouled Alien Autopsy scenario.
We lost our colleague and friend, Anthony Bragalia to the
psychosis, and we hope we don’t see others going over the cliff of nonsense
that Tom Carey and Don Schmitt are promulgating about the slides and a Roswell
connection.
If there is a Roswell provenance, I don’t see it. It may well
have been very concealed by Mr. Bragalia in his contacts with me. (He knew I
hate secrets…..I’m an Edward Snowden fan and supporter.)
But that said, at this point the Roswell connection seems
tenuous.
Nonetheless, with a Cable TV show in the works, it doesn’t
bode well for the denouement of the slides story, just as Fox television’s
exposé of the Alien Autopsy became a laughing stock in the TV business, from
which Fox never recovered.
At any rate, the preemptive announcement by Tom Carey that
he had the Roswell “smoking gun” is exactly the kind of hype that has killed
ufology and many of the people involved in the study of the UFO phenomenon.
We’re glad that Kevin Randle has distanced himself from the
shenanigans. Mr. Randle is on his way back to credibility with his UFO
correctives and mild mea culpas.
And I hope Chris Rutkowski is out of the mix too. He’s too
legit to be involved no matter how this all turns out.
If the slides turn out to be Roswell-related, I will
apologize for my skepticism.
If not, I may say “I told you so.”
We’ll all see, upcoming, supposedly.

Condon, the Commie?
As some of you know, years ago, we attempted to thwart Dr. Condon's leadership of the Blue Book sponsored UFO Committee.
(You can find our documentation at the RRRGroup blog archives or via a Google search.)
This is a supplemental blurb we found that pertains:
Condon is quoted in Walter Sullivan, "3 Aides Selected in Saucer Inquiry," The New York Times, 8 October 1966. See also "An Outspoken Scientist, Edward Uhler Condon," The New York Times, 8 October 1966. Condon, an outgoing, gruff scientist, had earlier become embroiled in a controversy with the House Unamerican Activities Committee that claimed Condon was "one of the weakest links in our atomic security." See also Peebles, Watch the Skies, pp. 169-195.

UFOs and Ufology: The End is Near
Those paying attention can see that the UFO phenomenon has
reached a nadir.
When Kevin Randle, and me, and many others are struggling to
find relevant, new UFO ideas and material but can’t, UFO buffs have to accept,
if they are reasoning individuals, that the thing which interested them, and
still does, to some extent, has diminished in relevancy and importance.
We UFO aficionados are, as Bruce Duensing might put it,
beating a dead horse.
Scouring the UFO “universe” one is struck by the desperation
to find something germane or significant.
YouTubers are loading their spots on the video site with
images of flecks or ripples on the moon, and strange configuration in NASA’s
Mars rover pictures, not UFOs necessarily, but somehow seemingly related…..at
least as they try to portray it.
Bloggers (like us and Mr. Randle) are dredging up old
sightings and controversies, begging readers to comment and re-ignite the
topic….to no real avail.
The Anomalist is noting many more items of paranormality
than items about UFOs.
We, all of us, are providing the dregs of UFO lore, while
new “observations” are either created out of whole cloth and anything with a
odd shape or cast in the sky has become fodder for a UFO designation.
There are past UFO mysteries to clear up, but that’s grist
for the hobbyist, not the public at large, or new, curious UFO mavens, who are
a rare breed nowadays.
The once prominent phenomenon (or enigma) is the farthest
thing of interest for a culture or society in the midst of turmoil(s) that
really count.
I’ll plug along here, acknowledging the futility of my
effort, because UFOs provide surcease of my other vibrant concerns and
interests that consume the bulk of my day and thinking.
Hang in here, with me, if you like. I’ll still try to
invigorate a matter that we all know is on its deathbed, but on life support.

The S-4 Project: The crazy sub-text of Ufology
http://www.ufohypotheses.com/s4informers.htm
And when one accesses the link above, Google will accommodate you with a myriad of images that confirm the underbelly (and maybe the overbelly) of the phenomenon is too psychotic to deal with intelligently.

(We confess that we are part of the nonsense, and apologize accordingly.)
