Kodak "Alien Slides" Sunk...It's Over. The Fat Alien Sings

I received the news a couple of hours ago as Curt Collins had published in his Blue Blurry Lines blog that the placard associated with the Kodak "alien" on display had been deciphered.

http://www.blueblurrylines.com/2015/05/the-placard-of-roswell-slides-final.html

It's as it was always thought to be:  a mummy.  It's not a dead alien involved in the Roswell crash, nor the alleged Aztec, NM crash, nor a secret display in a secret government/military lab, nor the prop for a disinformation operation. It's a mummy.

From Curt Collins' blog:








MUMMIFIED BODY OF TWO YEAR OLD BOY
At the time of burial the body was clothed in a xxx-xxx cotton
shirt. Burial wrappings consisted of these small cotton blankets.

Loaned by the MR. Xxxxxx, San Francisco, California

The "research" team of Adam Dew, Tom Carey and Don Schmitt supposedly spent a year or so researching what the Kodak images represented.  This group then turned the slides over to one Jamie Maussan, who in turn had "experts" in the fields of anthropology, forensic pathology, etc. and all supposedly came the the conclusion that the images depicted something that was not human...not of this world.

The poster child for "I want to believe", Tony Bragalia, gave the smug impression that the images shown in the Kodak slides would change every fiber of our belief system.  The slides would prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that dead alien bodies were indeed recovered at Roswell and skeptics and debunkers would be eating crow after the "Great Reveal of May 5th."

Up to six thousand people paid their hard earned money to attend the "Great Kodak Extravaganza" at Mexico City's National Auditorium.  A further 3000 or so paid to view the event on-line in a pay for view fashion.  These folks were told that they themselves would be witnesses to a changing paradigm...."BeWitness", be part of an event that would change history as we knew it.

It was dog shit!....pure unadulterated dog shit...

What took Dew, Carey and Schmitt well over a year to research and come up with a dead Roswellian ET alien, only took a few individuals 48 hours to come up with the proof that the image in the slides was definitively that of a mummified body of a young child...a human child.  So much for the field of ufology.

But it may be even worse, if such is possible.  What if all of the principles involved in this dog and pony show knew that what was being peddled was false?  The original unveiling of the slides were cast in a dark blue lighting [not the original lighting of the photos themselves] with the purpose to visually distort the images as to be seen as something bizarre and freakish...not of this world.

The placard shown in all of the photos was either heavily blurred or blotted out by white light, yet one photo shot had a fairly good quality of the writing on the placard that was not shown at the Mexico City venue.  An oversight by Dew, Carey, Schmitt and Maussan?  Or was it deliberate with the intent to obfuscate the possibility that they knew all along what was written on the placard?  

At what point in time was it determined by the group that what they had in their hands was the image of a mummy.  It was plain for all to see.  A small human mummified body lying on an open glass shelf surrounded by other artifacts.  The obvious setting for a museum.  The open chest cavity showing the results of the ritualistic removal of the visceral organs during the mummification process.  The state of desiccation of the body as a whole.  Perhaps by the time Carey, Schmitt et al made the true discovery it was way to late in the game to change direction and admit that they had made an honest mistake.  It was either incompetence as researchers or an outright attempt to scam the general public with the hopes of a big pay day. 

I had proposed this on Rich Reynold's blog:  whenever Bragalia, Carey, Dew and Schmitt are mentioned, there should be an astrik (*) by their names depicting their combined epic failure.  Ufology's version of a "scarlet" letter with an automatic admittance into Ufology's Hall of Shame

The Kodak Slides: Did They Crash and Burn?


I had to work yesterday so I missed out on getting into the live feed.  I had hoped to take a peek, but earning an honest living took precedence.  Despite this, my friend, Gilles Fernandez was kind enough to post the actual photos as they were presented last night. Gilles ponied up the cash (exchange rate?) to watch this marathon.

Judging from the response of other blogs and sites, most being pro-ET, it appears that the Kodak slides have been met with a near collective "what the hell?"  I can only image those poor unfortunate souls squirming uncomfortably in their seats in the National Auditorium.  I further get the impression that those on the stage may have been squirming also.  If not, I suspect they will as the next few days unfold.

I only had access to the actual photos and 3-D imaging.  I have heard none of the assessments rendered by the so-called experts.  That should be soon coming in transcripts, or one would hope.

As a member of the Roswell Slides Group, I was able to give a preliminary assessment on the physical nature of the being in question both from an anatomical and physiological aspect.  Basically, I described what I saw and rendered a tempered yet objective assessment.  I also compared the Kodak specimen to that of what the group had as a photo of a child's mummy.

As I complete a more exact assessment and given permission by the group to do so, I will post it on this blog. 

Will Bragalia, Dew, Carey, Schmitt and Maussan wind up in ufology's witness protection program?

Tim Printy provides a prelude to the Kodak slides May 5th gala...


Tim Printy has made his latest issue of SUNlite available for viewing.  Tim has devoted most of this issue with indepth analysis and discussion pertaining to the Roswell "Alien" slides which is due to be presented to the general public [those that pay] this coming May 5th.

Tim discusses all aspects of what is known about the slides up to this point in time.  Tim opens up different areas of alternative interpretations which anyone interested in this story must read.  Its a great piece of work and arguably may be his best work.

If you want to "Be Witness" then knock yourself out, but read SUNlite first and "Be Educated."

While we are all awaiting the "Great Reveal"

Here is a re-post from my Facebook page for those sitting on their asses awaiting the "Great Reveal" this coming May 5th. 

Want to loose weight?
I've been asked by some of my friends how I keep from gaining weight. I shall now reveal a secret that has been passed down from generations of my family.

Side effects from this amazing weight reduction implement:
1. Pectoral muscle soreness.
2. Increased perspiration (not to be confused with diaphoresis).
3. Lower back pain which can be alleviated with ibuprofen.
3. Some blistering on the hands. I recommend using work gloves.
4. Rare occurrences of delusional thoughts with possible auditory and/or visual hallucinations.
5. Induced tendency to inadvertently sing old spirituals.

This has been a free public health service message...

The 5th of May fast approaches. What can we expect?


With the 5th of May Roswell alien slides presentation soon to be on hand, we have to wonder what to expect.  The expectations will be based on one's personal position as to belief or disbelief in ET visitations.  It's as simple as that.

You'll notice that I said "Roswell alien slides" as that is how the original hoopla was presented by early on spokesman Tony Bragalia.  And despite the apparent down playing of a Roswell connection, Roswell is still the elephant in the room...or auditorium.  Just look at the promotional image above...it has Roswell written all over it.

In a perfect world, here are my expectations:

1.  Clarification as to whose house the slides were found in Sedona, AZ (including the other 400 slides).  Was it the former home of Hilda Ray or her attorney?

2.  Did any of the researchers involved (Carey and Schmitt) do a documents search as to the past owners of the home in question.  This information would have been public information accessible through the city and/or county offices that registered land deeds.

3.  What is the hard evidence that links the Rays to Roswell back in 1947 that would have put them right smack at the scene of the alleged UFO crash?  Let's go further. Is there hard evidence that Ray was in the Aztec area back in 1948?  I'm not looking for mere speculation or correlations, but hard documentation that proves so.

4.  Why am I to assume that the images in the photos are those of an ET versus that of a mummified specimen or a human deformity/oddity?  Do we even know what ET is suppose to look like?  We have ample evidence of mummies and human deformities.  

5.  I'm expecting to have expert testimony from various fields of forensic photography, possible medical examiner opinions and statements from real anthropologists.

So my wish list is at 5.  That's a reasonable start with reasonable questions that should illicit reasonable answers.  Let's see what happens on May 5th.

What About the 400?

For the past few months we have all been engrossed with the two "alien" Kodak slides that will be presented in Mexico City on the 5th of May.  Well supposedly copies, as the originals will not be presented for various reasons, but that is a story for another day.  Yet, despite the angst and celebratory emotions, what of the other 400 plus slides?

Those 400 slides are briefly mentioned but seemed forgotten, but I believe that they could hold the key to this enigma.  What are the images depicted? This could give us a pretty good range of time based on what images are actually depicted.  Do those slides show a time range from 1940 to 1960 based on content?  Do these photos give a possible clue as who was the actual photographer and when and where were they processed?  Were they processed in bulk or a few at a time?  A lot of questions that could be answered.

Based on a few of the slides that have been released, there is one that depicts Ike Eisenhower standing next to Milton Eisenhower on the back of a rail car.  Tim Printy put this photo at roughly 1945.  This one photo had caused a slight rush that it might have been Bernerd Ray standing next to Ike, but Printy's analysis sunk that inane theory by clearly identifying Milton Eisenhower. 

But that is one example of one photograph.  What of the others.  Yes, let Maussan et al show the two slides allegedly depicting aliens on May 5th, but the real answers may come from the heavy scrutiny of the 400 slides.

Just a thought.

Ufology's Version of Wrestle-mania...A Re-cap

Caddylakgraffix.com


A little recap from the last few weeks verbal wrestle-mania concerning the "alien" Kodak slides.  These two photographic slides appear to be the consummate "self-licking ice cream cone."

Rich Reynolds posted a link to Jose Caravaca's site.  This is actually V 2.0; the original post was removed due to the hint of potential libel issues with Tony Bragalia making claims that Paul Kimball had possibly acquired copies of the two slides illegally.  Missed in all of the "noise" was Caravaca's article.

http://ufocon.blogspot.com/2015/03/jose-caravacas-take-on-kodachrome_29.html

Paul Kimball announced that he had obtained full resolution copies of the two slides in question.  Paul plans to present his copies to the general public on May 4th.  This is what set off Tony Bragalia in Reynold's Caravaca 1.0 ultimately leading to Rich's removal of his original post.

http://redstarfilms.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-4th-of-may.html

Paul also provided information that his uncle, Stan Friedman, was invited to the May 5th unveiling down in Mexico City, but has declined to attend.  Friedman joins the ranks of ufologists, such as Robert Hastings, withholding support for Carey, Dew, and Schmitt.

http://redstarfilms.blogspot.com/2015/03/stan-friedman-says-no-to-involvement-in.html

Gilles Fernandez posted on his blog an excellent article regarding some of the work being put forward by the Roswell Slides Group.  This group is in the process of identifying what is actually portrayed in the two photos vs. that of an ET origin. 

http://skepticversustheflyingsaucers.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-roswell-slides-saga-claims-versus.html

Curt Collins produced an informative post detailing an in-depth look as to where the issues currently stand with the two photos.

http://www.blueblurrylines.com/2015/03/roswell-slides-or-fraud-prints.html 

Of course, there are other web sites of interest dealing with the topic at hand e.g. Kevin Randle and Frank Warren.

So there we have it...the self-licking ice cream cone that is slowly slurping its way south of the border.
