This fireball affair was in the Roswell vicinity and covered other parts of New Mexico, with numerous witnesses. Rickett even helped LaPaz produce a report on it."</i><br /><br />Interesting comment, one which I've heard before (i.e., the alleged confusion of Rickett having worked with La Paz in 1949, on a green fireball incident, not what Rickett stated, which was that he and La Paz were somehow involved with investigating some aspects of the Roswell incident in late July, or later, of 1947).<br /><br />But, CDA, do you have citations or references to the supposed participation of Rickett and La Paz, and their being involved in exploring a green fireball incident, per se, in 1949, or a cite online to the alleged report La Paz and Rickett worked on? Is it available? <br /><br />I'd be most interested in reading it, if so. La Paz is a particular research interest of mine.Steve Sawyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17716314515943305158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3627600209392755127.post-32879573677312349392012-01-27T13:18:23.479-08:002012-01-27T13:18:23.479-08:00Nick, to me the LaPaz/fugo connection doesn't ...Nick, to me the LaPaz/fugo connection doesn't quite stand up - IF the US really were in deep fear of experimental Japanese balloonery as a means of waging germ warfare.<br /><br />Surely this would've been a big BE ON PERMANENT ALERT FOR JAP BASTARDRY issue for all military in the area in which case even if a real alien flying saucer'd been found full of crispy fried litle spacemen most people at the time'd've automatically assumed weird lookin' little guys and unknown technology = sneaky Pearl Harbour style hijinks!<br /><br />In fact it's almost a surprise to me this hasn't been one of the theories all along especially given accounts of island bound Japanese forces still fighting the war unwitting that years earlier Mainland Japan'd already surrendered, not to mention more apocryphal stories about postwar Nazi outposts in the Antarctic.<br /><br />If though someone like LaPaz was using alleged Japanese germ balloon incursions as a cover for their own US backed experiments with such technology a la Porton Down's anthraxing of Gruinard Island as a feasibility study for a hypothetical Nazi attack, (something WE'D NEVER DREAM OF DOING OURSELVES of course...except experimentally on our OWN troops!) then suddenly the story of the saucer being briefly encouraged could make sense as a way of burying this sort of headline:<br /><br />ONLY NATION IN WORLD TO DROP NUKE CAUGHT IN SECRET GERM WARFARE DELIVERY EXPERIMENTS!alanborkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15333017272673090593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3627600209392755127.post-36130103757454232442012-01-26T08:07:16.566-08:002012-01-26T08:07:16.566-08:00CDA:

However, my main interest is in determining if La Paz's links to Japanese balloons is connected with the allegations of Japanese links to Roswell as per my Body Snatchers book.<br /><br />The Rickett issue aside, that La Paz was in NM, was doing classified work for the government in relation to Japanese balloons, and that there are claims of a Japanese link to Roswell is primarily what keeps me interested in this aspec of the saga.<br /><br />Could the Rickett story be in error? Certainly. But, the important thing for me is not to ignore these various strands above, in view of the potentially related nature of the threads.Nick Redfernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07199813303416083671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3627600209392755127.post-88047329317857972692012-01-26T07:50:41.420-08:002012-01-26T07:50:41.420-08:00Nick:
As Robert Todd and Karl Pflock wrote, and I...Nick:<br /><br />As Robert Todd and Karl Pflock wrote, and I have pointed out, there is every reason to believe that LaPaz was never involved with Roswell. Rickett, who gave this testimony, has confused LaPaz's involvement with him (and with Roswell) with a big green fireball episode in Jan 1949, i.e. 18 months after Roswell. This fireball affair was in the Roswell vicinity and covered other parts of New Mexico, with numerous witnesses. Rickett even helped LaPaz produce a report on it.<br /><br />This is the trouble with decades-old testimony; the timescales get confused. I doubt you will find anything by LaPaz on the Roswell 'crash', certainly nothing in writing or in print by him. The only testimony is Rickett's, given 40 years afterwards!cdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005702597775594084noreply@blogger.com
