I want to thank everyone who has read and responded to this post. I also want to thank Kevin Randle, Tom Carey and Anthony Bragalia for their keen and expert rebuttals. My purpose in writing the article was not to be "Anti-Roswell." Me thinks there is a body or two tucked away and being cooled down in a government freezer somewhere in this great land of ours. And Area 51, well, we all know they put on some very interesting light shows out there.

I only wanted to bring attention to a possible piece of evidence that may have overlooked, namely Colonel Walter Klinikowski’s testimony. There is so much information on Roswell out there, I may have missed him in the mountain of books and articles that have been written about this important historical event. Things that come out of left field keeps us on our toes.

Still, questions remain on what really happened in the first days of July 1947.

Reader response has been exceptional to both the pro and the con sides.

I’m inviting you the reader, if you have any questions about Roswell, please email them to me.

What do you think happened in New Mexico, and what else would you like to know about it?

What is your opinion about it, one way or the other?

I feel there make be the makings of an interesting article here.

Sort of: “The Concerned Person in the Street Wants to Know…”

Looking forward to any and all comments, and thanks again for reading The Observer.

Excellent point Phil. Concentrating on a single event, leads to very focused and knowledgeable experts like Randle, Carey and Bragalia, if we had heard from Schmitt, we would have had all four of the "Horsemen of Roswell." When you step back, as you are suggesting, a bigger pattern forms. One where supposed UFO crashes just becomes more pieces in a bigger puzzle. Thanks for reading the posts and commenting. Have a great week.

Both sides of a story are important. I'm glad we had such a quick response from the Roswell experts.

Thank you very much for your sporting allowance of rebuttals to Mr. O'Connor's original article. Your sense of fair play is greatly appreciated!

It may be a mistake to focus too much on any one UFO event. While any one event can be questioned, it's much much harder to dismiss the overall pattern of thousands of sightings and events.
