FLYING SAUCER STORY FUELS DEBATE
|
||
|
|
|

|
IRVING, Texas (AP) -- Both sides in a UFO debate remain light years
|
||
|
|
apart nearly half a century after the Army claimed briefly it had
|
||
|
|
recovered a flying disc in New Mexico.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
About 200 experts and enthusiasts at a weekend conference agreed the the
|
||
|
|
1947 announcement about an unidentified flying object in Roswell was a
|
||
|
|
big mistake. They disagreed heatedly over how the mistake was made.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"The many rumors regarding the flying disc became a reality yesterday
|
||
|
|
when the intelligence office of the 509th Bomb Group... was fortunate
|
||
|
|
enough to gain possession of the disc," the Army release said.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Skeptics say there is no hard evidence the wreckage was anything other
|
||
|
|
than the remains of a military balloon. That was the Army's final
|
||
|
|
explanation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"It was a big embarassment," UFO debunker PHilip J. Klass said at the
|
||
|
|
national meeting of the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of
|
||
|
|
Claims of the Paranormal.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CSICOP, based in Buffalo, N.Y., encourages the critical investigation of
|
||
|
|
paranormal and fringe-science claims from a responsible scientific point
|
||
|
|
of view, the group says.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The release was issued on the authority of an intelligence officer who
|
||
|
|
was unable to identify the wreckage, said Klass, former senior editor of
|
||
|
|
Aviation Week and Space Technology.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But some researchers believe the government goofed in 1947 by calling
|
||
|
|
attention to the find -- and has had to cover it up ever since.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"It was no... weather balloon," was the deathbed declaration of an
|
||
|
|
eyewitness, according to Donald R. Schmitt, co-author of "UFO Crash at
|
||
|
|
Roswell" and director of special investigations at the J. Allen Hyneck
|
||
|
|
Center for UFO Studies in Chicago.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
No only does Schmitt believe the wreckage was a UFO, he is investigating
|
||
|
|
reports that the military recovered the bodies of aliens from the craft.
|
||
|
|
He is trying to find a nurse believed to have helped with an "autopsy."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The nurse had told a friend the bodies were smaller and more delicate
|
||
|
|
than an adult human, with large heads and large concave eyes, Schmitt
|
||
|
|
said in his book. Their hands had four fingers and no thumb, she
|
||
|
|
reportedly said.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"We are convinced she is still alive," Schmitt said Saturday.
|
||
|

Evidently, there was no news other than there is still disagreement
|
||
|
|
about the Roswell incident.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Does anybody out there have any other Roswell information from the
|
||
|
|
weekend conference of the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of
|
||
|
|
Claims of the Paranormal?
