 Aztec Talk:  Gen. Roger Ramey’s Memo—Roswell Crash Smoking Gun?

In Ufology, Dr. Rudiak’s main area of expertise is the alleged Roswell saucer crash of 1947, which he has been studying since 1994. He is perhaps best known for his work on reading the telex photographed in Gen. Roger Ramey's hand as Ramey tried to debunk the Roswell crash as a weather balloon. His work on Ramey's memo was presented publicly for the first time at the Ozark UFO Conference in 2001 and was featured on the 2002  Sci Fi Channel special on Roswell. It can also be found at his website, RoswellProof.com.

The memo mentions "the victims of the wreck" and shipping something "in the disc," words and phrases which he and others consider to be smoking gun proof that a saucer crash really happened.

His interpretation of the memo will be compared with others to point out areas of agreement and disagreement.  E.g., there is now a strong consensus that words like “victims” and “disc” are indeed the memo and that it was signed by Ramey. Basic methodology in deciphering of the memo will be discussed.

He also plans to comment on attacks by debunkers on the Ramey memo, pointing out serious flaws in their arguments, the most common being that absolutely nothing can be read in the memo.  Audience members can see for themselves that this claim is false.

If time permits, he will also discuss his recent short encounter with Gen. Wesley Clark in which he asked Clark if he had ever been briefed on UFOs when he was in the military.  Clark dropped several broad hints about his knowledge of UFO reality, including Roswell.  The question to Clark was prompted by comments he had made when running for President.  Gen. Clark stated his belief that mankind would one day travel faster than light and outlined an initiative to make it happen.
