The Roswell Incident

We visited Roswell, New Mexico in 2006, the UFO Museum and Research Center was then situated in the main street, in what appeared to be an old movie theater. A new center for the museum was under construction further down the road.

We read many of the numerous exhibits: newspaper articles, sworn affidavits and other printed material displayed around the walls. The main part of the museum deals, unsurprisingly, with the reported UFO crash near Roswell in 1947. There are, among many other things, reports and signed statements from witnesses who saw evidence of the crash and collected wreckage. Evidence of a request for "child size coffins". In several of the statements, witnesses reported seeing purple colored symbols, heiroglyphic-like, on a strip among the wreckage. There's a statement by a woman medical officer, detailed to take notes at an autopsy of bodies following the crash. She was later sent to England, and subsequently is said to have disappeared - or has not been heard from again.

Who can say how genuine any of the material is, after 60 years have passed? And yet, why would ordinary, everyday people have fabricated such a story, back in 1947 on a summer evening just before midnight, without reason? In those days there were few, if any TV programmes about extra-terrestrial phenomena to ignite the imagination. There were few sci-fi movies. What else but "a happening" could have sparked reports of such a bizarre occurence as this?

I've drawn up a chart for 4 July at 11.30pm. which seems to be the most popularly reported time and date for the actual incident:



Is this the kind of astrological atmosphere which could reflect something unusual and unexpected? The unusual and unexpected relate to Uranus, which was close (2 degrees) to Venus in Gemini at that time and in the 3rd house - house of communication. Neptune was strong - smack dab on the descendant in fact, which seems eerily appropriate for the descent to Earth of an alien (?) craft - Neptune relates to illusion, imagination, and mystical matters. The Moon in Aquarius, Mars in Gemini and Neptune in Libra formed a Grand Trine in Air signs- again, eerily approriate for anything pertaining to a flying craft. Sun in Cancer, close to the nadir at 11.30pm, trined Jupiter in Scorpio - Jupiter can relate to publication, expansion, exaggeration. So.... we could spin this either way. Neptune on the descendant may indicate illusion on the part of the observers of the incident, OR a later deception of the public by the authorities. Jupiter trining Sun may indicate exaggeration on the part of witnesses. I suspect Neptune is the key here, but the question remains - does it indicate illusion or deception in this case?

My husband and I discussed our feelings about the whole Roswell story later, after our museum visit. We came to the conclusion that "something" did happen on that night in 1947. The "something" was covered up by lies from those in authority at the time. Lies from government downward are not unknown, even in current history, which fact inclined us to believe at least some of the stories told by witnesses.

Another photo from the husband's camera: of one of the documents displayed (click on it for a larger, legible view) "The initial cover-up makes sense, but why continue it into the modern era?" That's a very good question!
