It's the `Halloween of Summer'. But rather than collecting candy kisses door to door, folks dressed for a Galactic Costume Contest will be on the lookout for extraterrestrials and UFOs.
"The World's largest UFO Festival (www.RoswellUFOfestival.com)" will be held at Roswell from Jun 30 to July 3.
Roswell, in Southern New Mexico, attracts bigger throngs each year. That's because the festivals are held to commemorate a 1947 crash north of Roswell, the so-called "Roswell Incident", that created a decades long population debate that carries on to the present day. Was the crash only a weather balloon as the government claimed or a UFO?
There's never a dull moment at Roswell festivals, which are attended by both experts and the public at large. During last year's festival, the infamous Hangar 84--where the crash debris was allegedly stored--was opened to the public for the first time since 1947.
This year, UFO Secrecy--The Death of Marilyn Monroe is the name of one of the lectures, to be delivered by Dr. Don Burleson, Ph.D.
Believers in UFOs are legion in most countries, and with prominent individuals including astronauts among them, it is not so easy for detractors to dismiss them as moonbats.
Indeed, it was the late World War II veteran Walter G. Haut, who during a conference on UFOs in Washington, DC in 1990, came back home with an idea of creating a perpetual UFO information center in Roswell. Haut received four air medals, a Distinguished Flying Cross and a Purple Heart as well as other military decorations during a stellar military career. His duties at Roswell included bombardier/navigator for the 509th Bomb wing as well as public information officer for the base. He resigned from the air force in 1948.
Some 43 years later, Haut, who passed away last December, along with Glenn Dennis and Max Litell, founded the International UFO Museum and Research Center in 1991. Elected the first president of the corporation, the decorated war veteran held that title until 1996.
The worldwide pursuit in the alleged UFO government cover-up is taking its toll.
a computer hacker who spent years penetrating government computers (their security is abysmal) says that he saw proof that NaSa airbrushes UFOs out of satellite and shuttle photographs to maintain a cover-up, reports Whtley Strieber's Unknown country.
"In an interview on the BBC program "Click", Gary McKinnon, who faces 60 years in prison if he is extradited to the United States from England, said that he had obtained a photo of an object that was "cigar-shaped" and had geodesic domes above, below, to the left, the right and both ends of it," and that it was in space above earth's atmosphere. When asked if it might have been an artist's impression, he answered that he didn't know. He said that a woman who worked at Building Eight at the Johnson Space Center claimed that they regularly airbrushed images of UFOs from high-resolution satellite photographs. He is referring to claims made by Donna Hare, who testified at a Discover Project press conference in 2001 that a NaSa technician t old her, in regard to UFOs that "we always airbrush them out before we release them to the public." He also claimed that he does not have a copy of the photos he saw on the NaSa computer because "it's a Java application, so there's nothing to save on your computer."
"If the US government is indeed covering up evidence of an extraterrestrial visiting earth, it ranks as one of the greatest evils in human history, because of the importance of the information and t he indisputable right of every human being to know," says Unknown Country.
Meanwhile, government cover-up notwithstanding, ET could soon be calling home soon.
