                           UFO EVIDENCE VS. Carl Sagan

               I watched all of Dr. Carl Sagan's updated "Cosmos"
          programs on PBS during summer 1991.  In one of them, he STILL
          maintains that there is no physical evidence for UFO
          Spacecraft, "just stories".

               I should think that by now he would have heard about the
          Roswell Incident in which UFO WRECKAGE and ALIEN BODIES were
          found on a ranch (in New Mexico, I think), gathered up by the
          U.S. military, and hidden away in an Air Force hanger
          somewhere.  The wreckage included materials NOT KNOWN on
          Earth, and some of it even had ALIEN SYMBOLS written on it.
          All of this was witnessed by many People, both civilian and
          military.  A couple of years ago, the TV program "Unsolved
          Mysteries" showed an excellent segment about the incident.

               The Roswell Incident illustrates a serious problem here.
          Whenever there IS physical evidence of a UFO Spacecraft, the
          military always confiscates it, using "national security" as
          an excuse, and then ACTS LIKE THE MAFIA toward the finders
          and other witnesses by THREATENING them if they don't keep
          silent!  (They did it to the rancher in the Roswell
          Incident.)

               I wonder if Carl Sagan has been pressured by the
          government into continuing to make negative public statements
          about UFO's.  It's too bad that so many people accept his
          pronouncements without question.  He may very well be another
          case of THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND.

               This is supposed to be a FREE country.  FREEDOM OF
          SPEECH is guaranteed by the highest law of the land.  The
          government (and its military) is supposed to be of, by, and
          for The People, NOT the other way around.  People need to
          know THE TRUTH about EVERYTHING in order to intelligently
          participate in the democratic process.  It is an ORGANIZED
          CRIME for the government to withhold or suppress information
          and physical evidence of UFO's from us.


               UN-altered REPRODUCTION and DISSEMINATION of this
          IMPORTANT Information is ENCOURAGED.

I think that you may be confusing the program with a terrible science fiction
B-movie entitled "Hangar 13".  This movie was so bad that the scene where
the shuttle astronauts looked out their window while on orbit showed black
space, no stars.  But it is for the most part summarized in the above quote.

Wait a minute.  Didn't your last post to sci.space claim the government was
Bolshevik?  I could swear it did.  Did you change your mind?

I agree with Bob, but only on this one, *small*,  point.

where you'll find rapt and willing stooges.. um, advocates?  You'll still
catch your share of flames, of course, but it'll all be in fun.  Right?

Why?  Because it is unfair to the baboons?

        He was a respected, bona fide astronomer long before he was a
celebrity.  He is still involved in active research, I believe
planetary science, associated with JPL.

A glance at American Men and Women of Science shows Carl Sagan with:

AB - 1954, BS - 1955, MS - 1956, PhD - 1960 (Astron,Astrophys)

all granted by the University of Chicago.

It's hard to get tenure at Cornell these days without one of those
PhD things, ya' know?

Well, Mr. McElwaine, what happened was- and watch who you repeat this to-
Carl Sagan was brainwashed at Wright Patterson's infamous hangar 13, and
convinced by certain govt. agencies to keep quiet regarding the inhuman
alien monsters that frequently visit our planet <G>.  The aliens, you see,
are working hand-in-hand with the feds- they supply the technology, we
supply the bovine and human body parts for their genetic research :}.
