Day 31

Roswell, NM

The sun rose over Roswell and as the rays illuminated the streets and byways, we, too,were struck by the rays of TRUTH about what happened in Roswell in 1947.

And all it took was one trip to the International UFO Museum & Research Center.

There, we learned all about the Roswell Incident timeline, the field research, the newspaper reports, the government cover up, the "Top Secret - EYES ONLY" report from the Majic 12 to president-elect Eisenhower, and on and on.

Also, we saw a compelling documentary about the footage captured by the Space Shuttle in 1991 that pretty clearly shows several space craft leaving the earth's atmosphere at incredible speeds. That footage was being broadcast live from the Space Shuttle exterior cameras. Immediately afterwards all live broadcasts from the Space Shuttle were discontinued and the signal was encrypted and scrambled for military and NASA usage only.

Makes you wonder.

But I also wonder this: if there really are visitations from other planets, why would the government continue to go to the trouble of covering it up? Haven't enough people seen movies such as "Contact" and "Men in Black" and "The X Files" to already believe in such things.....or at least keep an open mind about the possibility of other intelligent life in the cosmos besides homo sapiens?

I mean, what's the big deal these days? Will the fundamentalists implode if "little green men" are confirmed? Will the Holy Sea evaporate if God has touched fingertips with someone other than Adam and his progeny?

Can't we just cut to the chase and forget about all the arguing about the validity of crop circles and cattle mutilation and alien abductions (and probes and implants), and just agree that in an infinite universe with infinite numbers of galaxies and infinite numbers of stars and infinite numbers of solar systems and infinite numbers of planets, that somewhere, sometime, someplace some little green mankind will figure out how to propel themselves here and it's about time our little corner of the cosmos came to terms with that possibility (or probability)?

Open the files, open the Blue Books, open the FOIA requests, open the archives. Let's see who really killed Kennedy and what really happened in the desert in the summer of 1947. Really -- what are we afraid of? Or, more to the point, what is our government afraid of for us?

Do we really care if we are the only ones in the universe? Does it really make us special or not special if other beings can make vehicles and visit other places? How is that going to change our daily lives? Will gas prices go up or down if EBEs are confirmed? ("Extraterrestrial Biological Entities"). Will you adjust your own personal metaphysics if "we are not alone"? What will it mean to you psychically or spiritually? Can your concept of God handle other beings from other planets? These are the interesting questions, to this little bear's mind. Not the supposed cover ups and the supposed crashes in the isolated desert patches.

ET either does exist or does not. ET either has visited earth or has not. Who has proof about ET and why or why not they share it with other is not particularly interesting to me. The interesting thing about ET is how your concept of the universe changes, expands or collapses when and if ET is shown to exist.

Remember, the center of an infinitely expanding universe is you. Roswell isn't about ET. Roswell is about you. And what your concept of reality can contain.
