when a high-ranking military general said, "The other spokesperson was
a little too hasty" (to dis-own so many observations from the clamoring
public). The general promised a full investigation would be initiated,
and an announcement would be forthcoming. The general admitted there
was something afoot, and that he was not going to participate in any
attempt to cover up this latest rash of UFO sightings. He further
promised a press release would be given within a few days.

Hello Ivy,
Just off the top of my head, the only things I can think of the
government has withheld the facts of are the atom bomb tests made
in the 1950s with soldiers used in close proximity with which to
test the effects of radiation fallout. This was later admitted to
(40 years later). Also the agent orange incidents in Vietnam.
...And the possibility that our troops in the Gulf War were
affected by toxic gas from Iraq.
None of this is proof that they lied about aliens at Roswell.
...And it's understandable why they deny the existance of "Area-51."
The "weather balloon" story was used to cover up the "Project Mogul"
test balloons which was later said to include test dummies and that it
was part of a secret project to test for radiation from possible Russian
Atomic bomb tests. ...Just little white lies in the interest of National
Security, Ivy. None of this proves the existance of aliens. Not even
the testimony from the descendants of the original Roswell residents
proves that aliens were involved in any crashes in that vincinity.
We know the government withholds certain truths, and we can pretty
much prove it after the fact. So, if we have shown them to be less
than honest with the public, it still doesn't demonstrate they are
lying about aliens. I had a flying saucer sighting in 1953. I never
said it was flown by aliens. I did say I didn't think we had that
kind of technology back then. Not all people who believe in UFOs
think they are piloted by aliens. It's fun to think about it though.
Regards,
Jack

  We will see more and more of these type groups and
organizations as we approach the year 2000.
  The latest was an Edgar Cayce TV special claiming that
in 1998 was going to be all these disasters, then in 1999,
we would be hurling nuclear missiles as each other.
  But for those of us that have been around, and remember
how all the experts and learned people predicted the
end of the world/armegeddon to happen no later then fall
1975, then 1979, then .....pick you date, this comes as no
surprise.
  Then when the End-of-the-world doesn't happen, we
will have new dates, new groups,  and new experts
extolling the various new dates.

    I will  pass a  comment on  the autopsy  business, Santilli  rides
again :).  Well since the film is arguable from many  sides, and  hard
to determine though I do believe now the general opinion from most  is
bogus, one should look at the players in the game, I have voiced this
before.   If  the  film  had  been  genuine  it  would have  been more
lucrative to have it  verified than  not.  And  this has  not happened
etc. Therefore there is most likely no film.  Videotape maybe,not pre
ah 1960 or whatever.  Just simply  ask yourself  how much  the genuine
film would be worth.  That is why there has been such a run around and
marketing scheme, there is no real product just tactics.....
