Roswell, Trinity, and the crash believers

Roswell, Trinity, and the crash believers

Kent Heckenlively took on claims surrounding Roswell and the alleged "Trinity crash," arguing Roswell may not have been the first incident. His position was not hedged: "Everything that I have seen suggests that they are real."

Gobble's Take: Once the conversation moves from sightings to crashes, the UFO debate stops being a shrug and starts being a reckoning.

The Jackie Gleason UFO story refuses to die

The story goes like this: in February 1973, President Richard Nixon was golfing with Jackie Gleason in Florida, the conversation turned to UFOs, and that evening Nixon drove Gleason to Homestead Air Force Base. There, Gleason allegedly saw preserved alien bodies and the wreckage of a crashed spaceship. The problems are considerable. The account came not from Gleason but from Beverly McKittrick, who told it to the National Enquirer in 1983 — eight years after she and Gleason had divorced. Gleason never publicly commented. Then in 1986, Larry Warren said Gleason confirmed the details to him personally. Gleason died the following year.

Gobble's Take: A story with this many convenient gaps and a conveniently silent witness is either the greatest cover-up in history or the greatest dinner-party lie. Possibly both.

Government UFO files: officially inconclusive

A commentary on the government's recent UFO file release walked through the photographs and video stills provided — then held them up against earlier mid-twentieth-century imagery. The comparison was the whole argument. The files were presented as representative of an enormous body of evidence that has, so far, resolved exactly nothing.

Gobble's Take: Releasing files that answer no questions while raising all of them isn't disclosure — it's a sequel nobody asked for.
