Actually, I have been privy to a great deal of that information
and it is not conclusive. Besides, I was merely suggesting that
John Velez might be right when he suggested that if there was
nothing of value hidden away, we should be aware of that as
well.

We have all heard about the important evidence that is just
around the corner, that universities and laboratories are
investigating and that those results will be made known as soon
as they are available, yet the results are rarely made
available. That should raise a few red flags as well.

I think here of all the times that I have been told that a piece
of the debris from Roswell, or photographs of the crash site,
can be found. I have spent a great deal of time chasing down
those rumors only to find at the end there is still another
step. Somehow that debris is always just out of reach. Now we
hear about the policeman from Illinois that might has seen the
metal, and the rancher near Vaughn who has something that is
like no Earthly metal. Of course, we have be unable to get to
the debris for analysis.

And, what of the metal that was announced so publicly in Roswell
in 1997 that hasn't been heard of since... Except for the
scientist who told me two months later that announcing the
results had been premature.

The point is, I think John was right when he said that we need
to know if there is nothing of value hidden away.

 >KRandle also said:

 >>Okay, but be open to the alternative explanations.

 >This cuts both ways.

Absolutely, but before we embrace a new point of view we should
require that there be solid evidence for it.
