The Official History of "The RR3 UFO Specimen": CONCERNING THE ALLEGED ROSWELL UFO PIECE

This is a response to many inquiries that I have received concerning the alleged "Roswell UFO Piece" (a.k.a. "RR3") given to me on Aug 19, 1995.

Numerous bogus claims have been made "long after it was scientifically proven" that the piece was very terrestrial! Why these claims continue should be obvious to your readers. The science is in…I just checked (again!) with numerous scientists on this "find".

"The RR3 Specimen" is not a part or piece of a UFO. I now wish I had never seen the object or been a party to this seemingly endless attempt to make this object into something it is not. This includes recent statements by some that the object defies camera filming.

That's funny! Mike Portanova filmed it with great skill and beauty. In fact, most of the photos taken of it are his excellent work." But now, science and the scientists have spoken. I think its time for others to be quiet.

Royce Meyers, the "Watchdog of UFOlogy," hit the nail right on the head in his UFO updates statement recently. Royce is a cop and a good one…it was his discovery concerning the cattle mutilation on our site that opened up the find of "Pure bovine Hemoglobin" (by Nancy Talbot/Dr. W.C. Levengood).

Royce is a friend to Ted Oliphant (the Fife, Alabama cop who's brilliant work on cattle mutes left all of us wondering) and both are friends of mine. Both men are "stand up guys." Here is the entire history on this case and the FINAL results of the testing of the "Alleged Roswell UFO Object" (also known as "RR3") to date.

Former governor says he saw UFO

deseretnews.com Former governor says he saw UFO:

"Former governor says he saw UFO
PHOENIX (AP) — Former Arizona Gov. Fife Symington trotted out an aide dressed as an alien 10 years ago to spoof the frenzy surrounding mysterious lights in the Phoenix sky. Now he says he saw the lights himself and believed from the start that they were extraterrestrial.
Now a pastry chef and business consultant, Symington said he didn't acknowledge his own encounter at first because he didn't want people to panic. The former governor, who faced fraud charges at the time, also said he didn't need the additional problems such an admission would have created.
Symington discussed the sighting with a UFO investigator making a documentary, and in media interviews this week.
'I'm a pilot, and I know just about every machine that flies,' Symington, a former Air Force captain, told the Arizona Daily Star on Thursday. 'It was bigger than anything that I've ever seen. It remains a great mystery. Other people saw it, responsible people. I don't know why people would ridicule it.'
Symington told CNN the craft he saw March 13, 1997, was 'enormous. It just felt otherworldly. In your gut, you could just tell it was otherworldly.'"

UFO mystery at RAF Lakenheath

UFO mystery at RAF Lakenheath

Mystery surrounds claims that jets from RAF Lakenheath were called to intercept a UFO.
UFO experts claim to have a recording which they have posted on the internet as proof that London Military Air Traffic Control contacted a flight of US Air Force
F-15s from the base, after a UFO was picked up on their radar on January 12.

But air traffic control denies making the call – and RAF Lakenheath will not comment without having more detail over the alleged incident.

Steve Johnson, features writer for UFO Data Magazine, said: "We are still looking into it and we have made a Freedom of Information request to the Ministry of Defence and have also contacted RAF Lakenheath – but they haven't got back to us yet."

American Chronicle: Jesus in a Saucer: More Memes from Chronic Skepticism

American Chronicle: Jesus in a Saucer: More Memes from Chronic Skepticism:

"I recently wrote about a new “meme” pursued and disseminated with persistence by chronic skeptics; the idea that the term UFO really means aliens from outer space. (”A New Meme: We All Know UFO Really Means Aliens From Outer Space.”)
I’ve noticed another meme that is eagerly transmitted by anti-UFOists (and a few supposedly pro-UFO people) and that is ‘UFOs are/as a religion.’
While many of us UFO people are trying our best to put on end to the question (and all its variants) “Do you believe in UFOs?” the chronic skeptics continue to use the word “belief” as either a prefix or a suffix to UFO. Having done that, they move on to “UFOs” as a “religion.”"

Horses and Aliens

Horses and Aliens:

"Whenever I’m out in the country, I of course look up. Up at the sky. the sky this past weekend on the Oregon coast where I was was gorgeous. Stormy at times, with huge clouds scudding across the sky, with brilliant patches of blue. And all the while, I was looking up, hoping of course, to see a UFO. Night time in the country is also inviting; looking up, I always hope to see something UFO-ish. I’m greedy, I’ve seen several UFOs, but I want more. The night sky this weekend, however, was much too overcast to see anything, no stars, nothing.
And while I've seen UFOs, and hope to see more, I don’t think beyond that. The UFO part is fine. But I don’t expect to see, or want to see, beings, entities, aliens or robotic devices emerging from them. I don’t wand, or expect, to see, the UFO land. Like the horses, I’m nervous around the whole thing."

Robin Turner, Western Mail

A CELEBRATED UFO incident in which aliens are said to have crash-landed into a remote Welsh mountain range in 1974 may finally have been debunked.
According to contributions on the internet encyclopedia Wikipedia, the Berwyn Mountains Incident - often referred to as the 'Welsh Roswell' - was actually a combination of an earthquake, a meteor shower and poachers carrying lanterns. Supporters of the UFO theory last night hit back at the claims.
It all happened on the frosty night of January 23, 1974, near Llandrillo, high in Clwyd's Berwyn Mountains.
Just after 8.30pm, even the most solid farmhouses and country pubs began to shake as the earth rumbled with what appeared to be a fantastic impact."

UFO Secrecy and the Death of the American Republic

"UFO Secrecy and the Death of the American Republic
by Richard M. Dolan

Like the Agatha Christie twist in Murder on the Orient Express, there have been many killers of the American Republic.
There is of course the obvious culprit, finally and widely acknowledged these days. This is the Spirit (and reality) of Empire, which has provided a none-too-subtle knife in the back. Since the days of Rome, people have understood the incompatibility of republican institutions with the tools of conquest and empire. By the time of Caesar, for instance, Roman rule stretched throughout the Mediterranean, dominating peoples as diverse as those under American military hegemony today.
The problem back then was that the old Roman Senate, already with five centuries of history behind it, was designed for ruling Romans–in Rome. The Senate managed well enough during Rome’s conquest of Italy in the third century BC, and even during the pivotal Punic Wars with Carthage. But ruling faraway (and valuable) lands like Gaul and Egypt were not so simple. Caesar knew this as well as anyone. Solution: end of the Republic, and the creation of such offices as Dictator for Life. Then, after his assassination, Emperor. Indeed, we may wish to remember that Caesar’s successor, his nephew, the Emperor Augustus, stated that his own absolute rule was only temporary, and that he eventually intended to restore the republic.
Ultimately, republics cannot wear the armor of empire. That is because two central principles of republican philosophy–freedom and self-government–wither under its weight.
Empires mean war. Wars mean the stifling of dissent and constriction of free thought at home. This happens every time. Repeat: every time. It has happened in America today. Freedom of expression is a meaningless concept if everyone thinks the same. It is how dissenters are treated that enables us to measure how free a society is.
Empires also prevent people from governing themselves. That is because wars destroy truth. Without freedom of information from the elected and appointed leaders of our government–that is, without truth–how can ‘the people’ rule? This was a point heavily emphasized by America’s Founding Fathers. “An enlightened citizenry,” wrote Jefferson, “is indispensable for the proper functioning of a republic.” Madison agreed: “The diffusion of knowledge is the only true guardian of liberty.” But as Phillip Knightly observed in his classic study of the subject, the first casualty in war is truth. This fact is once again in evidence regarding America’s current fiascos in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The so-called War on Terror is simply the latest manifestation of the new order of things, of what we may call the Permanent Warfare State. In such a situation, the old republican virtues of freedom and self-government cannot survive.
One might argue that Empires don’t have to result in reduction of rights at home. Look at Britain, not a republic of course, but at least a “liberal” monarchy. The British Empire spread around the world, and Brits enjoyed a higher degree of freedom than many other peoples, at least during the Empire’s heyday during the 19th century. That’s true, but the other side of it is that we don’t know how free the British people would have been without Empire. And let us not forget that there was also a great deal of “unfreedom” in Britain, even during glory days of Britannia.
The American Empire Lest you doubt that America is indeed a bona fide empire that garrisons the world, consider that according to the Pentagon itself, the U.S. military has 860 bases in 41 foreign countries. That’s twenty percent of all the nations on Earth.

The Canadian National Newspaper: Researcher compares 9/11 to Reichstag Fire in Nazi Germany and UFO secrecy

The Canadian National Newspaper: Researcher compares 9/11 to Reichstag Fire in Nazi Germany and UFO secrecy:

"Back in 1933, Adolph Hitler came to power in Germany. He never actually received a majority of the German vote, although his party had received the largest plurality in the most recent parliamentary elections. Thus, in January of 1933, the ancient, revered, and decrepit Paul von Hindenburg, President of Germany, appointed Hitler as Chancellor. A little more than a month later, the German parliament building, known as the Reichstag, was in flames. Arson.
Hermann Goering, director of the national police and number two man in the Nazi Party, immediately proclaimed this to be 'the work of the Communists.' An easily confused and not-very-intelligent man, a foreigner (Dutch) and Communist, who was at the scene and had been goaded into the deed by the Nazis, confessed to everything and was executed. In fact, the best evidence indicates that Goering, Joseph Goebbels, and Reinhard Heydrich planned the whole thing. The result was the infamous Enabling Act, which gave Hitler dictatorial and extreme powers - supposedly temporary to meet the current crisis. The crisis happened to last for twelve years.
What I am saying is that 9/11 appears to be America’s version of the Reichstag Fire. The Silent Watchdog and Invisible Fascism People who live in their little private Idaho read all this with such incredulity. “Well, why isn’t any of this in the major media?” “Wouldn’t the press just love such a scoop?”
The answer is no. Of course not. That people can still believe this about their media is something that I continue to marvel at, but -- in case, dear reader, you’re still not getting it- it is time to wake up. "

IndiaDaily - Collapse of our Galaxy into 3 x 109 km radius Black Hole

"Our Galaxy contains 1000000000 Solar Masses and there are possibilities something can happen that will rock the whole universe. According to some analytic models, 2012 can mark a massive implosion that can end our Galaxy and convert the same into a 3 x 1000000000 km radius Black Hole. It is a massive Black Holes that will open right into the Hyperspace. Such big opening can cause the Universe to collapse very soon.
But there is something going on behind the scene. There is exponential increase in the UFO sighting since year 1800. The numbers keep increasing at very fast rate. According to some remote viewers, the Type IV extraterrestrial civilization in charge of protecting the earth is ready for massive shift of the civilization into safer region in the cosmos. The migration can be out of the universe into some other universe too!"

National Ledger - Pilots, UFOs and Job Discrimination

Has it been standard practice for major airlines to discourage their pilots from reporting a UFO sighting and/or going public by implying to them, in some way, that their jobs and pensions could be in jeopardy by them doing so? This is probably not something that the airlines would admit to, but we have all heard of such intimidation and fear factors to quiet employees from coming forth with reports.
We can only speculate that they practice such procedures in fear of scaring away perspective customers from using their airline service so they can remain competitive. They may also not want to be perceived by the public or their rivals as the joke airline, which employs mentally unstable pilots who are prone to seeing little green men. "

Giants in the Americas - Death Valley, California - Cavern Temple of the Giants

"Is there proof that giants once lived and raised families in North America? Stories and newspaper accounts attest to amazing discoveries of huge elaborate caves and mines, gold spears and polished granite inscribed with mystical symbols. Witnesses have reported their discoveries to the Smithsonian Institute and have been promised compensation. Yet, the Smithsonian, archaeologists and other scientists are silent as to the discoveries and have hidden all evidence that is contrary to Darwinian theory of evolution.
The following are actual accounts of giants in North America.

'Atlantis in the Colorado River Desert' - 1947 Nevada news: Near the Nevada - California - Arizona border area, 32 caves within a 180 square mile area were discovered to hold the remains of ancient, strangely costumed 8 -9 foot giants. They had been laid to rest wearing the skins of unknown animals similar to sheepskins fashioned into jackets with pants described as 'prehistoric Zoot- suits'. The same burial place had been found 10 - 15 years earlier by another man who made a deal with the Smithsonian. The evidence of his find was stolen and covered up by Darwinian scientists."

American Chronicle: More strange lights and craft over Phoenix and Arizona sighted

American Chronicle: More strange lights and craft over Phoenix and Arizona sighted:

"PHOENIX, ARIZONA – Calls poured in to police and TV stations last night after many residents of the metropolitan Phoenix region observed a line of four bright lights near the horizon in the western sky at approximately 8 p.m. Arizona time.
Videotape of the lights was taken and broadcast on local TV news programs shortly after the incident occurred.
According to news reports, military officials stated the lights were flares being used as targets during Marine Corps and Air Force pilot training operations nearby.
Officials said a training exercise was being conducted by the Marine Corps Air Station in Yuma at the Barry Goldwater Gunnery Range west of Phoenix.
In addition, six Air Force F-16s based at Luke Air Force Base on the west side of metro Phoenix were also participating in training exercises that involved flares, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
Military flares were also given as the cause of the recent Arkansas sighting when a retired Air Force colonel and F-16 pilot with 32 years of service reported several unusual lights that he was convinced were not conventional earthly aircraft or objects.
How a veteran Air Force officer and pilot could mistake military flares for extraterrestrial phenomena puzzled many who read about that incident and the official explanation."

Carl Sagan’s Life and Legacy as Scientist, Teacher, and Skeptic (Skeptical Inquirer Janurary/February 2007)

Carl Sagan’s Life and Legacy as Scientist, Teacher, and Skeptic (Skeptical Inquirer Janurary/February 2007):

"The first AAAS symposium, in 1969, dealt with the reality of UFOs. Like many scientists of his generation, in high school Sagan had been attracted to the idea that UFOs might be visiting spacecraft. At the AAAS, J. Allen Hynek and James McDonald defended UFO studies while Sagan, Donald Menzel, and Lester Grinspoon attacked this position. The proponents on both sides of the issue were scientists, although they took very different approaches to the interpretation of the anecdotal reports of UFO sightings. (The subject of alien abductions or direct contact with extraterrestrials, which has since become so common, was not an issue at that time; the AAAS symposium focused on the interpretation of moving lights in the sky and anomalous radar signals.)

Indiadaily.com - Major space agencies of the world cooperating to reveal the truth about UFOs in 2012 – why in 2012?:

"They know something interesting is going to happen in December 2012. They know the extraterrestrials will reveal themselves. They know very well the cover-ups all around the world will end. There are leaks in India from Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) that all the major Space Agencies of the world are working together to reveal something that will change the way we live and believe in things soon. What can it be other than telling the truth about extraterrestrials? "

UPDATE 2013:
Didn't happen.
