THE ROSWELL DECLARATION
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Forty-seven years ago, an incident occurred in the southwestern desert of the
|
|
United States that could have significant implications for all mankind. It
|
|
involved the recovery by the U.S. military of material alleged to be of
|
|
extraterrestrial origin. The vent was announced by the U.S. military on July
|
|
8, 1947, through a press release that was carried by newspapers throughout the
|
|
country. It was subsequently denied by what is now believed to be a cover
|
|
story claiming the material was nothing more than a weather balloon. It has
|
|
remained veiled in government secrecy ever since.
|
|
|
|
The press release announcing the unusual event was issued by the commander of
|
|
the 509th Bomb Group at Roswell Army Air Field, Colonel William Blanchard, who
|
|
later went on to become a four star general and vice chief of staff of the
|
|
United States Air Force. That the weather balloon story was a cover-up has
|
|
been confirmed by individuals directly involved, including the late General
|
|
Thomas DuBose who took the telephone call from Washington, DC, ordering the
|
|
cover-up. Numerous other credible military and civilian witnesses have
|
|
testified that the original press release was correct and the Roswell wreckage
|
|
was of extraterrestrial origin. One such individual was Major Jesse Marcel,
|
|
the intelligence officer of the 509th Bomb Group and one of the first military
|
|
officers at the scene.
|
|
|
|
On January 12, 1994, United States Congressman Steven Schiff of Albuquerque,
|
|
New Mexico, announced to the press that he had been stonewalled by the Defense
|
|
Department when requesting information regarding the 1947 Roswell event on
|
|
behalf of constituents and witnesses. Indicating that he was seeking further
|
|
investigation into the matter, Congressman Schiff called the Defense
|
|
Department's lack of response astounding and concluded it was apparently
|
|
another government cover-up.
|
|
|
|
History has shown that unsubstantiated official assurances or denials by
|
|
government are often meaningless. There is a logical and straightforward way
|
|
to ensure that the truth about Roswell will emerge: an Executive Order
|
|
declassifying any information regarding the existence of UFOs or
|
|
extraterrestrial intelligence. Because this is a unique issue of universal
|
|
concern, such an action would be appropriate and warranted. To provide
|
|
positive assurance for all potential witnesses, it would need to be clearly
|
|
stated and written into law. Such a measure is essentially what presidential
|
|
candidate Jimmy Carter promised and then failed to deliver to the American
|
|
people 18 years ago in 1976.
|
|
|
|
If, as is officially claimed, no information on Roswell, UFOs, or
|
|
extraterrestrial intelligence is being withheld, and Executive Order
|
|
declassifying it would be a mere formality, as there would be nothing to
|
|
disclose. The order would, however, have the positive effect of setting the
|
|
record straight once and for all. Years of controversy and suspicion would be
|
|
ended, both in the eyes of the United States own citizens and in the eyes of
|
|
the world.
|
|
|
|
If, on the other hand, the Roswell witnesses are telling the truth and
|
|
information on extraterrestrial intelligence does exist, it is not something
|
|
to which a privileged few in the United States government should have
|
|
exclusive rights. It is knowledge of profound importance to which all people
|
|
throughout the world should have an inalienable right. Its release would
|
|
unquestionably be universally acknowledged as an historic act of honestly and
|
|
goodwill.
|
|
|
|
I support the request, as outlined above, for an executive order declassifying
|
|
any U.S. government information regarding the existence of UFOs or
|
|
extraterrestrial intelligence. Whether such information exists or whether it
|
|
does not, I feel that the people of the world have a right to know the truth
|
|
about this issue and that it is time to put an end to the controversy
|
|
surrounding it.
