Kevin Randle on the Roswell Slides

Kevin Randle has a new article at his A Different Perspective blog - the subject being, of course, the Roswell Slides.

It's a lengthy article, but to sum it up, Kevin is not impressed.

He's not the only one.

The numbers are growing...

The "Other Thing" in the Roswell Slides

Here's why I think the so-called "Roswell Slides" were taken in some sort of museum or "freak show."

Take a look at this link , to a large-size image of the slide.

Forget, for a moment, the body that is causing all the fuss, and instead, look behind the head of the body.

You'll see another head, which looks like a wolf head angled down, where you can see the eye, muzzle, and even teeth below the muzzle.

And, you can see the back of the small placard that sits in front of it, which obviously explains what it shows: mummy and a preserved head of an animal - it's OBVIOUS now that we are looking at some sort of museum, or menagerie, or circus type thing for entertainment purposes. 

NOT a secret lab where aliens are held. 

Anyone who suggests the government has a secret lab where they store dead werewolves will be punched severely about the jaw.

Roswell Slides - The Latest

Roswell Slides?

Now we have the high res image, the answer is: No!

Mummified child.

Also, check out the hairy head behind the main head. It, too, has a small white placard by it.

Clearly this is some sort of museum setting, or freak show.

Interesting, but it has zero relevance to Roswell.

Here's the link where you can see the photo much better , and you can see the second, darker, hairy head behind it, and you can clearly see the back of the small placard, which no doubt describes what it shows.

Zero to do with ET. Move along.

PS:

Here's a few new links from Rich Reynolds' UFO Conjectures blog, and I'm sure more will come, and I'll link to them here as they surface.

1. Article one: "Questionable Testimony?"

2. Article two: "Note the male hand in this photo."

3. Article three: "The May 5th Coup de grace or coup de morte?"

Roswell Slides - A Couple Of Comments

More than a few people have asked me if I have signed up to watch the revealing of the "Roswell Slides" in Mexico.

The answer is: "Nope!"

I figure that, by tomorrow, whatever is worth knowing will be known, and what isn't worth knowing will be out there, too.

Some time tomorrow, I'll dig into what those who did watch it have to say and I'll post links to the most interesting posts/articles, etc, right here.

Whatever the outcome, the world will not be any different tomorrow in the slightest.

The reason?

Simple: whatever the slides show (or don't show), they are still just slides.

The slides, alone, cannot prove aliens crashed outside of Roswell - or, indeed, crashed anywhere. Just about the only thing that can prove that is DNA or a body for inspection. And pictures ain't DNA or a body.

My prediction for tonight and tomorrow: a great deal of debate, a lot of loud and shrill voices on the importance of the people who have commented positively on the slides, and the Roswell debate given a new injection of blood.

But, at the end of the day, it will still come back to what I said above: slides can't prove the existence of aliens.

Tomorrow: Roswell Slides Day

For those who know, don't know, care or don't care, tomorrow is the day the so-called Roswell Slides get unveiled in Mexico.

What will it all mean?

Will we get answers?

More questions?

Everything?

Nothing?

Somewhere in between?

My answer: dunno. Yet.

All I do know is that whatever the outcome, it all (or some of it) comes out tomorrow.

So, here are a few of the final posts that you may want to check out before the world changes.

Or doesn't...

Rich Reynolds provides us with a post that gives the thoughts of Don Schmitt and Richard Dolan on the slides...

Rich also posts on the matter of who has seen the slides and commented on what they show...

Kevin Randle comments on why the Roswell Slides may not be the Roswell Slides. Here's the link...

Kevin also notes the recent death in someone who became a central figure in the saga of the Roswell bodies : Glenn Dennis...

Creature Weekend - Photos

This past weekend I was at the Creature Weekend gig at Salt Fork State Park, Cambridge, Ohio.

A great time was had, and there were some cool presentations, on Bigfoot, out of place big cats, little-known cryptids, and much more - including me, speaking about the British Bigfoot controversy.

You can find all the info on the event, as well as a small review right here.

The Roswell Slides - Countdown

Only a few more days until the unveiling of the so-called Roswell slides. No, don't get excited, these aren't the slides - they are just some decades-old card slide holders I just happen to have laying around...

The Nessies: Giant Salamanders?

That's the issue I raise in my new Mysterious Universe article , which starts like this:

"Reports of lake monsters absolutely abound across the entire planet. Amongst the most famous ones are Scotland’s Loch Ness Monster, Ogopogo of Lake Okanagan, and Champ of Lake Champlain. The big question is: if the “things” are real, then what, exactly, are they? On the matter of the Loch Ness Monster, creature-seekers have suggested they may be relic populations of plesiosaurs, marine reptiles that are believed to have become extinct tens of millions of years ago. Other theorists suggest the creatures might be immense eels. Sturgeon have been suggested for some reports. And there is also the supernatural scenario.

"There is, however, yet another angle, too: the idea that the beasts of Loch Ness are salamanders, albeit of a very (very) large size. Salamanders are amphibians that are noted for their long tails, blunt heads, and short limbs and which – in the case of the Chinese giant salamander – can reach lengths of six feet."

Guitar Smashing!

As some of you may know, I do a lot of writing for Penthouse magazine. The March issue has a lengthy article from me on the history of rock-stars smashing their guitars. It's not online yet, but it may be eventually. The Who, Hendrix, and two of my all-time favorites, The Ramones, and The Plasmatics are in there, along with quite a few more...

American Folklore

Picked this up last week from a used-book store: a 1961 hardback book, The Life Treasury Of American Folklore . Running at 350 pages, it's packed with cool, color artwork of such "things" as the Jersey Devil, the Loup-Garou, and the Gloucester Sea Serpent.
