THE NAKED CITY – ROSWELL REVISITED

THE NAKED CITY – ROSWELL REVISITED

Former SBS TV and FBi Radio presenter Jaimie Leonarder sounds very much like a religious evangelist when he says.

“Have you ever paused to notice that everyone appears to be looking down these days?. I don’t mean emotionally but psychically. Their eyes are permanently positioned on their mobile phones. Such profound adoration for relentless data surfing may just neglect the greatest story ever told and it’s all happening above our heads.”

Yet it’s not a spiritual entity that he’s drawing attention to, it’s the world of UFOs and the staggering amount of evidence of their existence that continues to surface.

“Recently the U.S Navy took ownership of a series of short films that have been causing controversy for almost a year. They were shot by 518 Super Hornet pilots in 2004 during a war games exercise involving the aircraft carrier The Nimitz and have remained truly anomalous after much examination. The Navy have not gone on the record to say they are alien aircraft like the army did 72 years ago in Roswell, New Mexico, but at the end of the day, they are telling us that these remain unexplained UFOs.”

These films were first brought to wider attention by the enigmatic To The Stars Academy, a private entertainment and research organisation set up by the lead singer of the band Blink-182, Tom Delonge. In doing so Delonge has recruited some leading lights of aerospace defence and US Intelligence including Chris Melon, the former deputy director of Naval Intelligence for many years. The US Defence Department is now working in tandem with the Academy to examine meta-materials from exotic unknown technologies, just like the ones encountered by the Nimitz crew.

The UFO phenomenon is a world-wide conundrum that has fostered an international community of researchers and interest groups including UFO Research NSW, of which Jaimie Leonarder is one of the leading voices. He sees part of their mandate as offering a counterpart to what is often mainstream ridicule and scepticism. One of the best ways to do this he explains is by touring international speakers who have devoted years of research to the subject.

This week one of the world’s leading authorities on the supposed Roswell crash Don Schmitt arrives in Australia for a series of lectures in Sydney and Melbourne. Don has interviewed hundreds of witnesses on this perplexing event and has written more books on the subject than any other researcher. He was the former co-director of the J. Allen Hynek Centre For UFO Studies, where he served as director of special investigations for 10 years. He has co-authored two of the most important books pertaining to this incident, UFO Crash At Roswell and The Truth About The UFO Crash At Roswell, plus many other books and articles.

It was in July 1947 that a press release from the United States Air Force stated they had retrieved a flying saucer from a ranch in New Mexico. 72 years later, an HBO feature film, numerous documentaries and dozens of books, what do we really know? Here’s an opportunity at least to get a truly informed and detailed perspective from somebody who has made it their lifetime study.

UFO Research NSW is a non-profit Incorporated Association and will host two lectures with Don Schmitt in Sydney on Saturday, Nov 2 at the Epping Club and Sunday, Nov 3 at the East Sydney Arts and Community Centre.
