The Peter Jenning’s UFO special - what was so
special about it? Nothing. I know much has already
been said about this show, but I would like to add my
two cents. Although I had been duped in the past by
shows claiming they are going to tell the truth about
UFO’s I did for some reason have hope for this show.
The first 30 minutes of it were not entirely bad and
then it went downhill really fast. Honestly, I have
seen much better specials on SciFi channel and even
A&E and History channels. If fact, I would say Scifi
channel did the best special on Roswell that I have
seen. They were suppose to be doing one on Bentwaters
too and I look forward to seeing it and hope I haven’t
somehow missed it.
Back to ABC - not only did they take everyone’s
favorite Roswell Gnome, Stanton Friedman and do their
best to make him look like a crazy conspiracy monger,
there were some blatant omissions in their
explanations of Roswell. Mostly they went right along
with the Government story that it was project Mogul
and the case was closed so far as they are concerned.
I don’t think they did any actual research on Roswell.
I could go on and on about their omissions and
mistakes, but I will leave that to the true experts
such as Stanton. Stanton by the way is a nuclear
physicist and just some dumb hick who hangs out at
Roswell like they made him sound. Maybe it is because
I am a New Mexican, but the Roswell case is nowhere
near closed to me. Just a couple weeks ago I received
a email about a man who had been writing Government
agencies for information on Roswell, he had received a
letter from Congressman Delahunt’s office telling him
that they couldn’t tell him anything about what was
found at Roswell because it is still being analyzed.
Does it take over 50 years to analyzed material from a
US government project? You would think they would
know what they used to build that if their Mogul story
was true.
More so than being angry at ABC or Peter Jennings I
am angry at myself. Why would I have even a sliver of
hope that they were actually going to do a serious
prime time special on network TV about UFO’s? I
should have known better. When will I learn? I feel
so gullible and used. Still there is a bright spot,
people who should have been even more savvy to such
things actually participated in the show. Art,
Stanton and the others must feel really dirty and
used. Will they ever be able to wash off the horrible
stench of ABC? Will they ever trust a person with a
TV camera again? My friends do not fear they indeed
will. They will continue to go through life with that
little bit of hope in their hearts, if they didn’t
they would have to crawl into a hole and die. They
will continue on because they know there are people
who believe in what they are trying to do. None of us
that believe are actually entirely sure of what they
are trying to do, but we do know that it is possible
that some day it will be done. So will I be watching
the next time there is a prime time special that is
going to blow the lid off of the Government’s secrecy
of UFO’s? Yes, and probably after wards I will feel
gullible and used again, but I too have to try to
keep hope alive.
