Hillary and the UFO Question

Hillary and the UFO Question

 

Ever since Tim Russert asked Dennis Kucinich the "did you see a UFO" question during the October 30 Democratic Presidential Debate, there have been a flurry of UFO questions to other White House hopefuls.

Barack Obama, for example, was asked moments after Kucinich if he believed there was life in outer space. He carefully evaded by saying, "I believe there is life on Earth." 

Bill Richardson, the governor of Roswell has faced the UFO question many times during this Presidential campaign partly because a few years back he wrote a forward to a book about an archeological dig done in New Mexico looking for evidence of the rumored 1947 flying saucer that crashed outside of Roswell, New Mexico. He has replied to all the UFO questions by saying that he doesn't believe in UFOs, but thinks the government did not release all the material on the 1947 crash, and is all in favor of the tourism that the UFO subject has brought to Roswell.

John McCain, in reply to a question if he had ever seen one said he'd never seen one, "but I keep looking all the time." Joe Biden told CNN's...

Another Roswell Witness?

September 9, 2007

  As the Roswell crash story passes its 60th year there are still names being put forward to the 600 odd witnesses that have been identified. Now there may be another.My interest has always been the involvement of President Truman in the whole story. What has come up so far is not much. He answered a question about flying saucers only a couple days after the famous press release stating that the AAF had recovered a disc. Some of the key military officials around him seemed to be having meeting about something the day after the press release.Now one promising angle has come up that promises new evidence. Two witnesses related to the crash had told people they were sworn to secrecy about their involvement with the crash. They were General Laurence Craigie who had flown into Roswell in early July 1947 on orders from General Curtis LeMay, then Deputy Chief of Air Staff for Research and Development. Another was Major Edwin Easley who was Roswell base Provost Marshal in charge of the Military Police at the crash site.Hoping for a lead to tie in President Truman I sent an e-mail to Roswell researcher Tom Carey...

Truman's Secret Roswell Interest (UPDATE)

July 20, 2007

As expected General Lawrence Craigie, who it is now claimed was flown into Roswell following the 1947 crash and made a deal with President Truman to keep quiet, has no supporting evidence from the Truman presidential files.

In an e-mail dated July 20, 2007 Randy Sowell at the Truman library wrote

 Greetings from the Truman Library:

Thank you for your e-mail of July 13.  I found only three references to
General Craigie in President Truman's White House files.  In January
1948, Craigie was named by Secretary of the Air Force Stuart Symington
as his representative on the Interdepartmental Committee on Research and
Development.  In August 1949, Craigie contacted the White House to
request an autographed photo of the President, which he received.  In
June 1952, Craigie was appointed Deputy Chief of Staff for Development,
U.S. Air Force, with the rank of Lt. General.  I found no correspondence
with Craigie dating from July 1947.

I looked through the President's phone records from July 1947 and found
no references to General Craigie.  The President's appointments schedule
includes one listing of Craigie's name.  He was in attendance on Dec.
17, 1947, at a White House ceremony marking the presentation of the
Collier Trophy...
