"I guess that's possible—but I still think it was real. It seemed very real.""It is real, and it was aliveand I have been trained inanatomy," Dr. Marcus said confidently, finally getting involved in the discussion. "I'veautopsied every specimen in this base—analyzed the tissues, seen their DNA. They arecertifiably real. Why are you so opposed to the notion?""Don't get the wrong impression," Deidre held up her hands. "It's not that I amopposed to the idea that there really could be aliens, or that the story Major Lindsay isunfolding is true. It's just that I don't connect Roswell with any of this, and, quite frankly,until I actually see a real-live alien being, I'm not going to be convinced. I don't knowyou, Dr. Marcus, and in view of the way we've been led around by the nose to this point,I'll openly ask if anyone can give me a reason to trust you. I think it's fair to say thatneither I nor anyone else here can be completely sure that we aren't being used evennow—your duplicity does make that a fair suspicion, whether you acknowledge it or not.In today's world, anything can be faked. Take that hokey Alien Autopsy film, forinstance—surely you're not going to tell us that's genuine, are you?""Of course not," answered Major Lindsay, "it was a fake, but it served itspurpose.""You mean you guys knew all about it?""We funded it. I have to admit I was impressed by the ensuing analysis amongufologists. Some of them really have a lot of integrity and leave no stone unturned intheir critique of the things we put out there to condition the public. Of course they don'tknow we're the ones either doing it or arranging for it to be done.""Well, in my mind, that proves my point," noted Deidre, "I for one will reservepositive judgment until I see and touch for myself. For such an extraordinary claim Ipersonally need extraordinary proof.""Your position is reasonable," Colonel Ferguson added in a serious tone, "andunderstandable. I hope we can count on bipartisan objectivity, however. We haveadmitted deceiving you, and now we're asking you to believe us. We've made our reasonsknown, and you yourself said you understood our rationale. I hope you and the others cansuspend your disbelief for a while. I'm very confident you'll get the proof you need. Wereally must be of like mind on this to do our jobs. ""We'll see.""Now tell us what you think about Roswell. This ought to be interesting. ""I think the Roswell event is best understood in light of what Major Lindsaybegan with in terms of his history—Operation Paperclip. One of the questions that wouldhave inevitably surfaced in regard to the recovered technology was the effect G-forcescreated by the incredible speeds and maneuvers at those speeds would have on humanbeings. In my view, the Paperclip recruits—known Nazis, mind you—arguedsuccessfully to their superiors that human beings should be placed in the crafts to seewhat would happen to the human body. It's no secret that the Nazis did this in Germany;human experimentation was a given there. I think that, as they did in the 'Father-land,'these scientists selected human undesirables—in this case, severely retarded ormongoloid children—for their experiments. Hence the size and appearance of thecorpses. No one who saw them—and it would only have been for seconds—would everexpect that humans were in the craft, since we weren't supposed to have such a craft.What do you think would have been the fallout if the Roswell Daily Record had123
