What Have UFOs Given Us?
July 2, 2009 on 9:32 am | In extraterrestrial, Flying Saucers, Paranormal, Roswell, space alien, UFOs | No CommentsHere we are during the 60+ anniversary of the Roswell incident.
In all these years I had to think of what UFOs have given us as
a collective culture. Sure stories of extraterrestrials in fiction
have existed and most notably the most famous alien of them
all, Superman, have permeated the culture and become icons.
Yet Superman was created over a decade earlier than the
UFO/flying saucer wave of the late 1940s and look at pop
culture now as well as science and news and history.
The concept of extraterrestrials was alive and profitable before
Roswell but the witnessing and testifying of interaction with
real craft and beings came much later in volume although there
have been stories of such since who knows when.
Art, music, film, television, print, radio, internet all benefit from
the interest in UFOs and the notion of extraterrestrials. The
subject makes money for everyone except the guys and gals
who do the grunt work researching the phenomenon.
I sat here the past few weeks putting together my comic book
art to do proposals for the comics publishers and realized the
bulk of the characters were extraterrestrials.
Seems like those space aliens are still popular.
I had to stop and realize how much our imaginations have
been stimulated by the concepts involved with UFOs and ETs
and wondered where we’d be in industry, science, etc. had
there been no major UFO/flying saucer phenom.
I felt kind of lonely contemplating that.
The subject sparks the imagination and produces some darn
good products and that may be the biggest benefit of all that
it’s a subject with some sort of causality loop that feeds back
on itself every few years and stimulates more minds to pursue
scientific and historical research.
I think the subject enriches us even with the naysayers and
fringe folk. In this regard UFOs are a good thing.
A new surprise in my UFO hunting
June 20, 2009 on 5:18 pm | In extraterrestrial, Flying Saucers, Paranormal, Roswell, space alien, UFO CRASHES, UFOs | No CommentsSometimes you just don’t know where a great lead will come from in UFOlogy.
I can’t go into major details here because the latest tsunami of information is so important that I’m going to have to pass the data I’ve received to more professional UFOlogists who will easily be able to confirm my data and expand on it.
This is one of those lucky shots like the old Davey Crockett legend where he had a bear and a mountain lion attacking at the same time, had only one bullet so he shot at a rock that was between the two, the bullet split in half and hit both critters and Crockett went on to fight another day.
The way I got this info was by just sitting down with a nice person I’d seen around for some time and we just started jawin’ in up a might and lo and behold the dam broke.
This is why it’s so difficult to write this book The UFO Mafia because whenever I figure I’m done, something else just pops in. In the past 6 months alone two or three new developments have emerged.
This new information not only names names but does so in a way that a huge hole in regard to UFO secrecy has not only been exposed but the interrelated data is so vast it’s undeniable. It was sitting there all along but we just didn’t have names. Now that we do it’s way too much data for one person to process. I wouldn’t say it’s a Rosetta Stone but it’s like a big piece of it.
So stay tuned.
Britain to reveal secret UFO files?…Crop circle appears near wind turbine…
January 27, 2009 on 4:46 pm | In Paranormal, Roswell, space alien, UFO PICTURES, UFOs | No Commentshttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7854018.stm
First of all whenever some news regarding UFOs appears in the mainstream press and that news looks solid, you can bet just afterwards a debunking scam will occur. The latest are the ‘chinese lantern’ explanations because weather balloons have played out.
In this case we have two new stories of interest from the UFO beleaguered Great Britain. UFOs are all over the place in G.B. and of course our pal Nick Pope is on top of things. He’ll sort it all out and we’ll get a stable perspective soon. First off is Prime Minister candidate David Cameron who was asked about the UFO issue during a news event and he said,
“But I think we should be a open as possible, so I would be quite happy to give you a guarantee that if I became prime minister I would always be entirely open and frank about these things.”
Now that was ballsy for sure because no candidate in the U.S. would say that because the press would tear him or her apart. At least Cameron has the courage to be open and up front about it without fear of ridicule. That says something positive about his character. He won’t hide, he won’t cower, he won’t back down. We need more people like him in this world.

In this story it’s about a crop circle that was discovered next to a wind turbine and that sure has stirred up the hackles of UFOlogists in Great Britain too. A week or so ago a wind turbine was damaged by what some theorize was a UFO. Now we see this turbine with a crop circle next to it. Is the crop circle the product of pranksters or those little balls of light that people report in the proximity of such phenomena. We’ll find out as the mystery unravels.

The UFO Mafia Message Board Forum Is Coming!
December 26, 2008 on 10:54 pm | In extraterrestrial, Flying Saucers, Paranormal, Roswell, space alien, UFO CRASHES, UFO PICTURES, UFO VIDEOS, UFOs | 3 CommentsSince this site keeps growing in popularity and many good people ask very important questions, I’ve decided to add a message board and forum to this website. It’s divided into two primary sections, the scientific research into UFOs, and general discussion.
Some UFOlogists participate in only the scientific method in regard to this field. Some UFOlogists like to gab it up about each and every aspect of UFOlogy. To separate the two the forum will adhere to these two approaches so they don’t get mixed up. Science requires specifics. Theories are fine, but you have to back up those theories with relevant data that can be examined and applied to resolve past, present, and postulated phenomena. If you make a scientific declaration you’ll need the science based references to support that declaration.
The final section will be announcements for UFO related upcoming events, books, resources, products and services only. This way UFOLogists and the public can attend and share data and experiences.
Writing this book keeps expanding each day as new events unfold. I’m waiting for several colleagues of mine in science, military, journalism, and law enforcement to confirm some close encounters we’ve all shared and due to the collapse of the global economic infrastructure that has exposed the underlying underhanded cabals that have decimated people’s life’s savings, these folks are now coming forward. It’s a shame it took a drop kick to the pocket book to get them to see the light but that happens sometimes.
So stay tuned.
UFO Enthusiasts To Ask Obama To Release X Files
November 30, 2008 on 8:18 pm | In Flying Saucers, Paranormal, Roswell, UFO CRASHES, UFOs | 1 CommentObama To Be Asked To Release UFO Files
It ain’t gonna happen!
You’ve heard it here first boy-o!
I’ll admit that this is the first White House cabinet that with so many open UFO enthusiasts in history but I don’t think they’re ready for what they’re going to discover. Even if they do crack the wall of stonewalls they wouldn’t disclose what they’ll learn because it’s too much for them and their personal beliefs.
UFOs and their related phenomena are so varied and vast that there’s no one single answer and no one wants a boggled mind with as much knuckleheadedness we’ve to deal with nowadays. There are no miracle cures and miracle energy technologies in UFO research. Why? Because we’d never be able to employ these technologies on a broad scale because they’re too dangerous. See what happened when the atomic bomb was invented? Plans got stolen and we went through 50 years and more of atomic terror.
Now can you imagine what kind of crap we’d be in for if someone invented the super cosmic atomic bomb?
Now you see what I’m talking about.
It ain’t gonna happen with disclosure. You’re gonna see Obama’s White House so tight lipped about it that the only word is going to come from good ol’ Mother England and then the spit is really going to hit the fan.
Dennis G. Balthaser Looks At Roswell…Credibility Of Maj. Jesse Marcel & Dr. Jesse Marcel Jr.
September 30, 2008 on 5:48 pm | In Flying Saucers, Paranormal, Roswell, UFOs | 3 Comments
Searching for the Truth
(Always Telling the Truth Means Never Having to Remember Anything)
Credibility of Major Jesse Marcel and Jesse Marcel Jr.
10-01-08
It appears that there are still those that refuse to give credibility to Major Jesse Marcel and his son Jesse Marcel Jr., who after all these years, are still two of the most credible “first-hand” witnesses of the 1947 Roswell Incident. I never had the opportunity to meet Major Marcel, but have had many conversations about him with Stanton Friedman, who was the first to interview him in 1978. I do personally know Jesse Jr., and have had conversations with him, and have read his book “The Roswell Legacy” (the revised edition shown below, published in 2008), which it appears as usual, that the debunkers, critics and skeptics that are the loudest, have not read.
In defense of the Marcels, I’d like to share some of the comments made by Jesse Jr. in his book not only about his Dad, but also about his own life since 1947. The book is obviously written by someone that had a deep respect for his father, and presents the information in the only way he knows—honestly from the heart, as his father desired, to get the truth out to the public eventually.
Both of these gentlemen deserve our highest respect for the many years they both gave to serving our country in the military, (Major Marcel as probably the top intelligence officer in the military in the 1940’s, and his son Jesse as a helicopter pilot, flight surgeon and a civilian physician.) Talk about credibility and integrity as compared to many of the other witnesses that have surfaced over the years in relation to the Roswell Incident. Those with backgrounds such as theirs are rare when researching the Roswell Incident. It took Jesse Jr. 60 years to set the record straight about his Dad and himself, and those that still question these two gentlemen are ignoring the truth about their first-hand knowledge of the event.
Major Marcel voluntarily enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Force in December 1941.
Up until his death in 1986, Major Marcel repeatedly stated that the material we examined was as he described it, “not of this earth,” and that the truth about Roswell had yet to be revealed to the public. In order to reveal that truth, Jesse Jr’s. father made him promise to see the true story told. Jesse Jr. fulfilled that promise with his book in 2007, and anyone seriously interested in the Roswell Incident would benefit from reading it, before criticizing or demeaning them.
As an eleven year old boy Jesse Jr. was “privileged” to be one of the individuals who actually saw and handled debris from the crash site, that his Dad and Captain Sheridan Cavitt had recovered from the site. This occurred at his home in Roswell, prior to his Dad returning to the base from the Foster ranch debris field, when the Marcel’s lives would be forever changed.
One of the things Jesse Jr. observed which again silences the critics and debunkers, is the fact that the foil material did not have a paper backing for rigidity like the foil of a radar target. Also of importance was the fact that none of the debris spread out on the Marcel’s kitchen floor that Jesse Jr. observed that night, or any material that Major Marcel saw at the debris site where the material was recovered, contained any electronic components which a weather balloon or Mogul balloon would have had such as radio transmitters, microphones, and sensors for detecting and recording weather data, or pressure waves in the atmosphere from a possible Russian nuclear test. It’s important also to note that the Russians didn’t do any nuclear testing until 1949, Mogul balloon launch No. 4 (which skeptics like to use as what crashed near Roswell), was cancelled due to weather related problems, and finally, the pictures taken in General Ramey’s office on July 8, 1947 also did not contain any electronic equipment.
In 1942 Marcel attended the Army Air Force Intelligence School as a 1st Lieutenant. After graduation he was invited to join the school’s faculty, an honor bestowed upon only the brightest and most talented students.
Two years later Marcel would be assigned to the 509th Composite Bomb Group in Nevada as their S-2 Intelligence Officer. He was now part of a special, hand-picked group, where the work was classified as Top-Secret. While in Nevada he helped work out the details of dropping the atomic bombs on Japan. The 509th was then assigned to the island of Tinian, where Marcel participated in briefing the flight crews before the missions to Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
Nagasaki, Japan 1945
Upon returning to the states, Major Marcel enrolled in a radar training school at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia, graduating in September 1945, and became an expert on the state-of-the-art radar devices, including varieties of the rawin radar targets, including the ML-307 reflector used on the Mogul balloons. As Jesse Jr. states in his book, “for those that say his father confused UFO debris with a radar target is ludicrous.” So the same government that paid for his advanced radar school in 1945 would accuse him of not knowing the difference between a UFO and a weather balloon 2 short years later, while assigned to the 509th in Roswell, New Mexico. Copies of the radar and intelligence school diplomas Major Marcel attended are in Jesse Jr’s. book. I have several other commendation and recommendation documents for Major Marcel in my file for his intelligence work, before and “after” the Roswell Incident.
Setting aside my thoughts about the Marcel’s credibility, lets not forget that the debris Major Marcel took to General Ramey’s office was changed to a weather balloon for the photos taken by James Bond Johnson. I interviewed Johnson as did Kevin Randle and David Rudiak, prior to my interview with him. In all three interviews James Bond Johnson’s remarks were less than factual about his involvement. He did take the photographs, but was not involved in any other way, in fact telling me in our first conversation, that he knew very little about the Roswell Incident. The interview can be read at: www.truthseekeratroswell.com/interview_James_Bond_Johnson.html
The really sad part for me is the fact that when General Ramey ordered Major Marcel to pose for the pictures with the obvious weather balloon on the floor of the Generals office, General Ramey ordered Marcel to keep silent, and to not make any comments in the presence of the civilian photographer. That appears to be when the cover-up became a reality, and Major Marcel realized he was in the middle of it, and had become the scapegoat. For those that have seen the photographs taken in General Ramey’s office, it’s apparent to me that there are unopened packages along the wall, and more importantly the brown paper on the floor under the debris staged for the photographs is from a new roll of paper and shows no indication of ever being wrapped around any debris or anything else brought to Fort Worth by Major Marcel.
I firmly believe that as a researcher part of my responsibility is to provide information that is truthful and factual for my future generations as well as yours.
I believe Major Marcel and his son Jesse Jr. have done that.

WHAT’S UP WITH ROSWELL?
September 16, 2008 on 5:58 pm | In , Flying Saucers, Paranormal, Roswell, UFOs | 1 CommentThe mother of all UFO cases is what happened near Roswell, New Mexico in June and July of 1947.
There are more stories about these incidents than one can shake a stick at. Books, movies, tv shows, comic books, cartoons, websites, and video games!
For something that focuses on something that doesn’t exist, is not a threat to national security, is only a weather balloon, the public, authorities, and pop culture won’t let it die.
The Roswell story is long, complex in some areas and sometimes it’s difficult to get through the mish mash of rumor and raw data. I’ll post some bona fide research data here on the subject and compile it into a one stop shop for the real Roswell information.
Back in 1997 I went to Roswell during the 50th Anniversary of the Roswell Incident. I went as a field correspondent for then Parascope Magazine. We had a big staff of specialists from all walks of life and met all the luminaries of UFOlogy at the time including Dr. Jesse Marcel Jr. who’s father was one of the first initial officers at the crash site back in 1947.
I even got the chance to catch up to the late Dr. John E. Mack for a quick on the spot interview and he talked with my pal Carol who covered another beat for the Parascope Magazine that was then on America Online and the infamous chat room “The Grassy Knoll”. That chat room was the hottest, coolest, best managed, and most popular chat room on AOL for years. Even good ol’ Art Bell was a member of our staff and he would pop in from time to time to chat with us all.
At the 50th anniversary of the Roswell crash I shot over 20 hours of video and I’ll post a wee bit of it here.
What’s the final conclusion regarding what really happened at Roswell back in 1947? The evidence and proof already available from the researchers who’ve led the investigation is pretty much clear cut. You’ll have to read for yourself.
