No matter what happened in Roswell, N.M. — strange weather events, a crashed spaceship, a downed weather balloon or an experimental spy balloon — Dennis Balthaser knows the government lied.
“All I want is the truth,”Balthaser said. “If nothing happened in Roswell, tell me... but there have already been four different reports on Roswell.”
Among members of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), whatever happened in Roswell in 1947 began a long-running conspiracy. The government’s press release at the time stated that a saucer-shaped vessel had crashed. Later the object was identified as a weather balloon.
Balthaser spoke about Roswell Sunday at a MUFON meeting at the Rowan County Agriculture Center.
Balthaser has been featured on MTV, “Dateline” and “Nightline.” Researcher, investigator and lecturer on UFOs, he has also worked with the International UFO Museum in Roswell. Earlier, he spent 33 years as a civil engineer with the Texas Highway Department.
His background in engineering was the basis for his lecture Sunday on “Underground Bases: What’s Under Our Feet.”
“He’s an engineer by profession, and the construction of underground bases would be within his knowledge,” said George Lund, 57, of Charlotte, state director for MUFON.
Members of MUFON believe it was an alien vessel that crashed in 1947. They believe the government uses the extraterrestrial beings aboard to construct new technology.
Balthaser said he nearly got hold of some of that technology while he was working at the museum in Roswell.
“We got a call from a guy in Oklahoma about a piece of metal ... believed to be from Roswell, and they couldn’t cut it or burn it,” he said.
But Balthaser never got a look at the metal because of what he refers to as an “interception.”
“I couldn’t make contact (with the man) because I got intercepted by people who said they were OSI (Office of Special Investigation)agents, “Balthaser said.
“The first thing they told me is ‘The gentleman you plan on seeing isn’t going to be here.’That got my attention.”
Whatever happened in Ros-well, Balthaser says those involved do not want to talk about it. He said he has contacted people who have told him they aren’t even from Roswell until he tells them he’s staring at their photos in the school yearbook. Then they say they don’t want to talk about it.
But if aliens really landed in Roswell, why wouldn’t the government disclose that information?
“Control,”Balthaser explained. “Why would the government take guns? Control.”
Balthaser also believes that such knowledge would “upset the apple cart” of numerous religions. But to him, the Bible seems to verify the existence of aliens.
“I don’t have a problem with religion or UFOlogy because they go hand in hand,”Balthaser said.
He said at least four books are missing from the Bible, books that Balthaser believes discuss alien encounters.
“There are a lot of references in the Bible that can be interpreted in UFOlogy terms,” he said.
Alan Caviness, who is studying to become a UFO investigator for MUFON, added his own thoughts:
“The Bible indicates throughout the book that mankind is being tampered with and seems to be in the middle of some kind of tug of war. It’s hard to believe that something that’s so global would be overlooked by Jesus... All religion started from the sky.”
Caviness is a believer because he has experienced the UFOs firsthand, he said.
“I know for a fact these UFOs exist, because I’ve seen them through my telescope,”he said.
