*******************************************************************************************Whitley Streiber, Jaime Maussan, and Linda Moulton Howe allege that American intelligence placed an alien body in a museum with a false placard in order to test the public's reaction.
They don't dispute what the placard says. Whitley himself was able to deblur it.
Jaime says that if the placard were unveiled prior to the event, he would have gone through with it anyway as the body itself is anomalous.
I listened, as I’m sure you all did, to the hour long free podcast on Dreamland with Whitley Strieber, Jaime Maussan and Linda Moulton Howe. The Dreamland website is meant to be UFO/alien entertainment just like Coast-to-Coast so it’s hardly the place for truthseekers to visit but I confess that I was quite entertained. These three all seemed to be in no doubt at all that we were talking about real alien bodies and there wasn’t the slightest suggestion that either of the photographed bodies in question could have been a mummy or a special effects dummy.
Whitley, talking in carefully measured tones and sounding a bit like humorist Garrison Keillor, didn’t question the existence of these aliens which surprised me somewhat since he recently questioned whether there were really any aliens at all. His wife Anne is known to favor time travelers from the future as being the aliens so I’m not too sure where that leaves these small “alien corpses”. Whitley then told us that Linda Howe had an amazing bombshell for us.
Linda who didn’t go to Maussan’s ‘Be Witness’ 05/05/2015 event in Mexico City (because she was on vacation with her family in Colorado visiting such places as Mesa Verde) has evidently being looking for an alien corpse of her own. This is not surprising since she clearly didn’t like being upstaged by Jaime who had been receiving all the limelight and glory from Roswell True Believers. And Linda had indeed found herself a picture of a “genuine” alien body.
This was an exhibit in the now defunct Million Dollar Museum at White’s City, NM, and the placard there once read “Is this an alien?” The exhibit was a 12-inch long mummified body of a small child of which there exists a photo but no one’s too sure what became of the little corpse. The museum closed about seven years ago and it seems it was run as a tourist attraction rather like Ripley’s Believe It or Not! The chances of this being a genuine little alien must be at least a million to one in the Million Dollar Museum!
That wasn’t going to deter Linda however. She claimed that the exhibit had been a genuine alien body that it must have been placed in full public view by the FBI (or whichever agency is in charge of alien affairs) to test the effect on those who saw it. This sounds to be one of her weirdest fantasies yet.
This vogue for UFO celebrities each having their own alien probably started with Steven Greer’s 6-inch humanoid body from the Atacama Desert and the release of his documentary film Sirius. There was also the alleged Starchild which was researched and exhibited by Lloyd Pye some years back and Ray Santilli’s fake alien which was twenty years ago. Maybe we should all find ourselves a little alien like Greer’s ‘Atacama humanoid'. This –if you didn’t know it already-- is convincingly explained as being very similar to Robert Ripley’s own Believe It or Not! Atacama humanoid that is described at:-
The Atacama "Alien" is Human, and Robert Ripley Knew It First
Which brings us to Jaime Maussan’s fake alien that is depicted in the Roswell Slides. Clearly Jaime longed to have a genuine Roswell Alien –or at least genuine 1947 photographs of one—after so many disappointments with fakes in the past. He had always been most impressed by Ray Santilli’s Alien Autopsy and never ceased to think that was genuine –as indeed does Linda Howe. This may be what made him so vulnerable to yet another alienfaking hoax that was produced by exactly the same people who created Alien HILDA.
I have probably been a little unkind in suggesting that Jaime Maussan commissioned the Roswell Slides hoax himself knowing full well that it was false. After hearing him speak on Strieber’s Dreamland I am now persuaded that he was more likely a victim of this hoax rather than being the instigator. Here seemed to be a man who had been seriously deceived and who still could not understand that this was the case. He still believed that the photographs depict a genuine Roswell Alien and that the message on the placard had been a falsely introduced lie that it was a mummy.
On the latter point I have to agree with him. Someone, at some stage, has performed a bit of digital jiggery-pokery on one version of the “Roswell Slides” digital images that we’ve all been treated to on the internet. The supposed placard next to the body on the display stand was suspiciously long in the first place (did the supposed museum cater for visually challenged folk who required Big Font text?) and I have never seen such a long placard in any museum. It always looked ready for the (deblurred) addition of some message and very likely that message would itself be false.
The real reason Jaime Maussan knew the placard’s message was false was because he had had the high resolution versions of the “Roswell Slides” images examined in detail by experts who assured him that the body showed several distinctive features which proved it could not have been a human. If it was non-human then it definitely wasn’t a mummy. (The converse is that all Maussan’s experts were fakes themselves, or total idiots, or that they had been bribed by him to say just what he wanted).
Like Linda Howe, Maussan and others show they have been thinking in old fashioned terms regarding photographs, blurred text, and the supposed 1947 pictures. In recent years any photographs –either digital and old-style chemical photos that have been scanned—can be manipulated and altered to suit one’s requirements. Especially the requirements of hoaxers who want you to think a photo was taken back in 1947. There was never any need for FBI agents (or MIB) to place false placards beside these “alien” corpses in museums many years ago. That’s all done now at one’s own computer screen!
Whichever way one looks at it, Jaime was “sold a pup” (a British expression which is very appropriate considering where the hoax came from). He says that word of the existence of these (supposed) Roswell Slides first emerged in November 2013. They apparently came to him by way of Don Schmitt though we are not told when he actually received them or whether he was only sent images on the internet at first. If he received actual Kodachrome slides did he receive just the two or was he sent all the (supposed) other 400 slides as is specified in the extremely dubious background story. Were these materials supplied to Don Schmitt by Adam Dew or by the unnamed “owner of the Slides”?
We will probably never know and it doesn’t really matter in view of the fact that almost everyone now accepts the whole thing was a hoax. I have little doubt that the supposed Roswell Alien depicted in the slides was the cleverly made dummy “MATILDA” prepared by Lundberg and Dickinson in London in much the same manner as they prepared Alien HILDA. All the images and forged slides that were supplied were most likely shot sometime less than two years ago before the whole package was delivered to Jaime Maussan.
