Roswell Incident Film This Film example essay topic

The Roswell Incident 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 event was announced by the Army Air Force on July 8, 1947 through a press release carried by newspapers throughout the country. I twas 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, D.C. ordering the cover-up. Numerous other credible military and civilian witnesses have testified that the original press release was correct and that 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 on 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. Nevertheless, 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 eighteen years ago in 1976.

If, as is officially claimed, no information on Roswell, UFOs, or extraterrestrial intelligence is being withheld, an 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 honesty 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. THE ROSWELL INCIDENT FILM This film was taken by a high security government photographer, in the summer of 1947, when the most thoroughly documented and witnessed crash of a flying saucer occurred in a remote desert of New Mexico. (see the book, The Truth about the UFO Crash at Roswell, by Randle and Schmitt) After filming the amazing events, including the crash site and two autopsies, the cameraman turned over 300 minutes of 16 mm black and white film to the Pentagon. He still had 90 minutes of film left to develop at his private lab. Incredibly, the Pentagon never retrieved these remaining reels from him.

He ended up taking them home with him in 1952, when he went on to civilian work. He secretly kept the film reels in his house, under his bed, for over forty years. The footage was sold by the cameraman (now 80 years old), last November, to London producer Ray Santi lli, who is preparing to release this important film to the public in the near future. A number of U.S. Senators and Representatives recently saw the autopsy footage, and it appears that an investigation is in progress. We may soon know how much has been covered up by the military all these years.

It seems that those who have said we are not alone in the Universe were right. So far, this does not appear to be a hoax. If it is a hoax, it is an incredibly elaborate one, costing a fortune. Prepare yourself for a shock.

Below, you " ll find several still frames from the film. Just a taste of things to come. Above, the being, apparently non-human, and dead, is ready for the autopsy to proceed, at a Dallas, Texas operating theater, in 1947. The being appears to be about 5 feet tall.

The right hand is severed. That may be a crash related injury, along with the burned or damaged thigh. Note the way the head flares out toward the back. It is huge. Note also the fact that this humanoid being has six digits on each limb, bizarre hips, odd musculature, and other anomalies. At first glance, many people believe that it is a female, but given the absence of a navel or even nipples, that may be jumping to conclusions.

There are many creatures who's males have no external genitals. Above, the surgeon, who is dressed in a full bio hazard suit, uses a scalpel to make the first incisions. Note the black eyes, the lack of teeth, the muzzle around the mouth, the lack of hair, and the very low, strangely shaped ears. In this still frame from the film, the surgeon is removing the thin black membrane that covered the left eye, using tweezers.

The right eye still has its covering. This frame shows the damaged thigh tissues, and the right hand. Note how thin the thumb is, and how long the pinkie finger is. In this frame from the film, the left hand is being examined. You can clearly see five fingers, plus a very delicate thumb. The six toes of the feet are visible as well.

Note that, unlike humans in general, the big toe is longer than any of the other toes. And there are no visible indications of toe or fingernails.
