The Roswell Incident

The Roswell Incident

Forty-seven years ago an incident occurred in the southwestern desert of the
United States that could have significant implications for all mankind. It
involved the recovery by the U.S. Military of material alleged to be of

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 unsubstantiated official assurances or denials by
government are often meaningless. Nevertheless, there is a logical and
straightforward way to ensure 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
