THE ROSWELL DECLARATION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Forty-seven years ago an incident occured in the southwestern dessert of
the United States that could have significant implications for all mankind.
It involves the recovery by the U.S. military of material alleged to be
extraterrestrial origin. The event was announced by the U.S. military July
8, 1947, through a press release that was carried by newspapers throughout
the country. It was subsubsequently denied by what is now believed to be a
cover story claiming the material was nothing more than a weather balloon.
The press released announcing the unusual event was issued by the com-
mander of the 509th Bomb Group at Roswell Army Air Field, Colonel William
Blanchard, who later went on to become a four-star general and vice chief
of staff of the United States Air Force. That the weather balloon story
was a cover-up has been confirmed by individuals directly involved, includ-
ing the late General Thomas DuBose who took the telephone call from Wash-
ington DC. ordering the cover-up. Numerous other credible military and
civilian witnesses have testified that the original press release was cor-
rect and the Roswell wreckage was of extraterrestrial origin. One such
individual was Major Jesse Marcel, the intelligence officer of the 509th
Bomb Group and one of the first military officers at the scene.
On January 12, 1994, United States Congressman Steven Schiff of Albu-
querque, New Mexico, announced to the press that he had been stonewalled by
the Defense Department when requesting information regarding the 1947 Ros-
well event on behalf of constituents and witnesses indicating that he was
seeking further investigation into the matter, Congressman Schiff called
the Defense Department's lack of response "astounding" and concluded it was
apparently "another government cover-up."
History has shown that the unsubstantiated official assurances or de-
nials by the government are often meaningless. There is a logical and
straightforward way to insure that the truth about Roswell will emerge: an
Executive Order declassifying any information regarding the existence of
UFOs or extraterrestrial intelligence. Because this is a unique issue of
universal concern, such an action would be appropriate and warranted. To
provide positive assurance for all potential witnesses, it would need to be
clearly stated and written into law. Such a measure is essentally what
presidential candidate Jimmy Carter promised and then failed to deliver to
the American people 18 years ago in 1976.
If, as is officially claimed, no information on Roswell, UFOs, or extra-
terrestrial intelligence is being withheld, an Executive Order declassify-
ing it would be mere formality, as there would be nothing to disclose. The
order would, however, have the positive effect of setting the record
straight once and for all. Years of controversy and suspicion would be
ended, both in the eyes of the United States' own citizens and in the eyes
of the world.
If, on the other hand, the Roswell witnesses are telling the truth and
information on extraterrestrial intelligence does exist, it is not some-
thing which a priviledged few in the United States government should have
exclusive rights. It is knowledge of profound importance to which all
people throughout the world should have an inalienable right. Its release
would unquestionably be universally acknowledged as an historic act of hon-
esty and goodwill.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I SUPPORT THE REQUEST AS OUTLINED ABOVE, FOR AN EXECUTIVE ORDER DECLASSIFY-
ING ANY U.S. GOVERNMENT INFORMATION REGARDING THE EXISTANCE OF UFOS OR
EXTRATERRESTRIAL INTELLIGENCE. WHETHER SUCH INFORMATION EXISTS OR WHETHER
IT DOES NOT. I FEEL THAT THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW THE
TRUTH ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THAT IT IS TIME TO PUT AN END TO THE CONTROVERSY
SURROUNDING IT.
