This
week I talked with Adam Dew, he of the Not Roswell Slides fame. I had a long
list of questions for him from how did the slides come into his possession to
his reaction when the placard was deblurred within hours of the BeWitness program
in Mexico City. You can hear the interview here:
As
you can imagine, some of the things he said disagree with things that others
have said. This is a result of the different perspectives (yeah, I said that on
purpose) of those involved. One of the big controversies was who saw the slides
and when. According to Adam, the slides, rather than scans, were seen by Don
Schmitt and Tom Carey and they had noticed the museum setting of the slides.
This is in conflict with what both Don and Tom have said. You can listen to my
interview with Don about this here:
and
there was another interview about Roswell and the like with Don here:
I
was interested in why they all thought the image on the slides might be some
sort of alien creature. Adam said that it didn’t look like any of the mummies
they had seen online. The way the body looked, and their (his and Joe Beason)
over estimating the size seemed to be the reason. He did describe the features
that caused him to think of it as alien.
He
also said that he wasn’t completely convinced that the image was a mummy,
though the deblurring of the placard by the Roswell Slides Research Group and
the subsequent findings suggest that is the answer. I pointed out that we know
this has nothing to do with Roswell because the museum where the mummy had been
displayed was identified and that it had been moved in May 1947.
From
about February 2015, I posted many articles about the investigation and news
about the Not Roswell Slides. You can search the blog easily for all those
articles, too numerous to note here. Just click on 2015 on the left side of the
blog and it will list all the articles published at that time; then just click
on February. You can then follow the progression through March, April and into
May. There were other articles published after the reveal in Mexico City in May.
Interestingly,
Adam mentioned that some of the recent publicity about this whole affair had
sparked renewed interest in his documentary. Up to that point, it had been set
firmly on the back burner. The renewed interest might not be enough to induce
him to finish it. As it stands right now, the fate of the documentary seems to
be left up in the air.
On
a side note, and for those interested, I am bothered by this whole thing
because we all seem to get tied up in the discussion of the mummy and forget
that it was a human child who died very young. I have refrained from publishing
any pictures, though they would certainly prove the case. It’s a matter of
personal taste rather than anything else and for those who wish to see them,
they are available on many websites.
