An article from the August 2011 issue of THE STAR BEACON.
General Ramey lied
The HuffPost “Weird
News” on July 22, 2011 reveals: “Roswell UFO Controversy: Former Air Force
Officer says Gen. Ramey lied to cover up space ship crash.” The article reads:
“The Roswell UFO controversy may be 64 years old, but it shows no sign of
heading into retirement. One thing we know for sure: On July 8, 1947, the front
page of the Roswell Daily Record proclaimed that a flying saucer had been
captured by the Roswell Army Air Field.
“The US Air Force had issued a press release that day stating that a flying
saucer had been ‘captured,’ and photos were released of soldiers examining
metallic-looking objects, presumably pieces of a crashed balloon.
“Then the controversy began. At a press conference later that day in Fort Worth,
Texas, Air Force Brig. Gen. Roger Ramey essentially recanted the entire story,
announcing instead that the debris was simply pieces of a fallen weather
balloon.
“Speculation of what really happened has never truly ended. George Filer, a
retired Air Force intelligence officer, told The Huffington Post that he
believes Ramey was forced to lie about the Roswell incident. And, in news that
will come as a shock even to ardent UFO researchers, he told The Huffington Post
in an exclusive interview that Ramey’s wife told him he was ‘embarrassed about
having to lie about the weather balloon.’
“Over his 20-year career, Filer regularly briefed generals and congressmen about
a wide range of security issues, including UFO sightings, up through the Vietnam
War.
“ ‘It is my opinion that President Truman was there (at Fort Worth) and that he
made the decision that it should be held at the highest levels,’ Filer said.
‘The reason I believe that is that I had talked with Mrs. Ramey. She would never
admit that she knew anything about aliens, but she did say that (her husband)
was very embarrassed about having to lie about the weather balloon -- he was very
upset about that.’
“ ‘She also admitted that they became good friends with the Trumans,’ Filer
added. ‘My point is: How does a one-star general become a good friend with the
president of the United States?’
“None of this comes as a surprise to former nuclear physicist Stanton T.
Friedman. He’s the original civilian investigator of the Roswell UFO incident
and the most outspoken scientist who believes there is overwhelming evidence
that alien spacecrafts are visiting Earth. He, too, has talked with Mrs. Ramey.
“ ‘From talking to her, I had no reason to believe A) that she knew intimate
details about Roswell or any other such event; or B) that she made up this story
because it is consistent with a man of reasonable character who followed orders
as one would certainly have expected him to,’ Friedman said.
“Both Filer and Friedman -- the military man and the scientist -- said they
believe the Roswell UFO was an alien spacecraft, that Earth is currently visited
by extraterrestrials and that only individuals with very specific ‘need to know’
credentials have access to this information.
“ ‘We are being visited on a regular basis -- probably for thousands of years --
by aliens from other planets,’ Filer said. ‘Their technology is much more
advanced than what we have. Even though we don’t like to think of ourselves in
this way, in a lot of ways, we’re primitive compared to them.’
“New wrinkles are constantly being added to the Roswell conspiracy theory.
Author Annie Jacobsen unveiled a whopper this year in her book Area 51: An
Uncensored History of America’s Top Secret Military Base, that alleged the alien
spaceship crash was actually a hoax contrived by Soviet leader Joseph Stalin and
Nazi scientist Josef Mengele. There was no crash, according to Jacobsen, but the
Communist dictator and ‘the Angel of Death’ allegedly sent children surgically
altered to look like aliens to Roswell in a remote-controlled craft to frighten
Americans.
“Friedman echoed Filer’s sentiment. ‘People need to recognize that the real
situation about where we fit in the scheme of things is very different from the
way it’s been portrayed,’ Friedman said. ‘In my view of what’s going on, there
are loads of civilizations out there all over the place, and that we are not
very significant.
“ ‘The aliens) would instantly recognize that we don’t qualify for membership in
a galactic federation because we’re such a primitive society whose major
activity is obviously tribal warfare.’ ”
