MUFON Director James Carrion Stepping Down

[Sean Elifritz]

This is interesting--someone with ties to military intelligence heading MUFON and opposing an alien interpretation of Roswell. Could be a mole put there to misdirect MUFON, lol. But you raise a very important point. Is a Roswell skeptic a good choice for MUFON director??? I'm aware of alternative viewpoints, and problems with witnesses, but, the same goes for the bulk of other cases. I mean, if you're gonna dismiss Roswell as something prosaic, you might as well dismiss all of UFOlogy.

I find that to be a peculiar observation. If somebody dismisses Roswell as an ET event then they should dismiss the entire field? Well, I don't believe that Roswell was ET related (Evidence is weak, those claiming to have seen bodies all appear to be liars, it would be incredibly difficult to keep a secret like that, government doesn't seem to behave like one concealing such a thing, other governments would find out about it and spill the beans, etc.) yet I do not dismiss the possibility that some UFO events could be alien related. I am much more convinced by personal stories from witnesses like Jim and Jack Weiner, Kelly Cahill, etc., than I am conspiracy theories and I can't be the only one. I find nothing unusual about his position. Remember that there was a UFO field for 3 decades prior to the Roswell story breaking in the late 70s/early 80s. If Roswell is this entire subject than what were those people basing their beliefs on for all those years?

Tell that to Randle, Friedman, Rudiak and a host of others.

those claiming to have seen bodies all appear to be liars,

Kaufman yes but there is still second hand testimony which stands.

it would be incredibly difficult to keep a secret like that

The ULTRA secret was kept for 30 years, even after there was no longer any pressing need for secrecy.

government doesn't seem to behave like one concealing such a thing

From the start tere have been cover stories notably MOGUL, which don't work, as researchers have shown. Cover stories point to a real, concealed event.

other governments would find out about it and spill the beans, et

Britain kept ULTRA too.

yet I do not dismiss the possibility that some UFO events could be alien related. I am much more convinced by personal stories from witnesses like Jim and Jack Weiner

I believe Alagash was real but not better than Roswell. Those four men were fine but so were the Marcels etc and they had conscious recollections.

Remember that there was a UFO field for 3 decades prior to the Roswell story breaking in the late 70s/early 80s. If Roswell is this entire subject than what were those people basing their beliefs on for all those years?

I didn't say Roswell was everything, or that other cases aren't believable. Just that Roswell (considering the quantity of testimony, some of it very good like the Marcels) is as good or better than most. Ergo, I don't think a Roswell skeptic should be a MUFON director.
