HEADLINE: ALIEN NOTIONS
BODY:
Not to beat a dead alien, but Christopher Meindl's April 28 letter proves
only that opinions are a dime a dozen. No credible scientist, researcher or
effects wizard has presented any real evidence to refute the alien footage in
Vidmark's "Alien Autopsy: Fact or Fiction?"
Until either the cameraman in question steps forward or an official statement on the veracity of the autopsy footage is given by the U.S. government, all we
are doing is raising the intriguing possibility that the footage could be that
of an alien recovered from the UFO purported to have crashed in Roswell, N.M., in 1947, and that it could be the first conclusive proof that we are not

There is increasing astronomical evidence that there are solar systems out
there that might support life . . . like our own or otherwise. We might find out that the Earth is just a pretty, blue petri dish being used to determine the
effects of things like ozone depletion, acid rain, wetland and rain forest
destruction, nuclear war and waste, hatred and bigotry, or diseases and viruses.
Then again, we'd probably make better lab rats than intergalactic hosts any
day of the week. Los Angeles Times, May 5, 1996 G. FRED LOGAN
