Expert Explores UFO legend

Monday January 29, 2007
Recently, I saw an article that you will find interesting. The article was carried by the Berkshire Eagle, which serves the Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont area. It deals with a recent lecture given by astronomer and archaeologist Woody Printz. He was studying archaeology at New Mexico Highlands University when the Roswell incident occurred in 1947. He was not a believer in UFOs at the time, but has since then opened up his mind.

"But for every long-standing myth or legend, there is a grain of truth somewhere," he remarked.

Printz does not deal with any myth or legend in his beliefs, but relies strictly on the facts of the case. He feels that one very important fact about the incident near Corona is that Roswell AFB held atomic weapons at the time, often said to be of great interest to aliens. During a trip to the Roswell Museum, he was able to talk to two of the main players in the case, Lt. Walter Haut, who was the information officer at Roswell who released the famous headline, and mortician Glenn Dennis, who claimed to have fielded a request from the field for sealed coffins to fit a child. All of this should be compelling to those who study the Roswell case, so check it out at Expert explores UFO legend.

Was it your intent to imply that anyone who does not believe in UFOs has a closed mind?

Obviously, when one believes that something does not exist, one closes up one’s mind to all the evindence that proves its existence, in order to hold on to one’s beliefs ; only when one is forced to look at the facts is when one’s mind is truly open……..
