Everybody gets to start somewhere, I suppose.
I think it's kind of cute that there are so many people out there who are
still marveling over
Roswell, a largely fabricated UFO
incident from 60 years ago... The first time I heard about
Roswell was only 13 years after it happened — I was a kid in the 1960s, and I was
amazed to learn about that incredible alien debris that couldn't be dented with even a
sledge hammer.
That got
my ass in trouble, I can tell you... I retrieved my dad's 3-pound sledge hammer and started
testing different items in the
garage for their resistance to impact. Hey,
control studies, right?
Today I see all these gung-ho nerds in their 20s and 30s, professing to be
experts on the subject, reconstructing events and offering up all
sorts of questionable "research" on Roswell... And I think,
Jeez, I was acting out Roswell when your parents were still in diapers.
