The announcement that slides dating from 1947 found to have belonged to lawyer Hilda Ray and her husband Bernerd Ray (a top oil exploration geologist working in NM and TX during that time) have caused what can only be described as an internet sensation. Awareness of the slides existence was heightened very recently by the fact that individuals have taken a "screen grab" of one of the slides that appeared in a documentary preview by one Adam Dew, entitled "Kodachrome," and attempted to enlarge and enhance it.

Since then, opinions have been proffered and amateur "analysis" has been conducted. Verdicts on just what the slides show have been rendered, often with impassioned, mean-spirited response and heated accusations. Inflammatory remarks, name-calling and near-libelous allegations have been made by people who have not been privy to a clear version of the slide nor seen the other existing slide at all- and without the benefit of review of the professional, scientific study that has been conducted on the them. And this negative, knee-jerk reaction to the slides existence began far earlier, even before the release of any image at all!

The truth of the matter could not be more different from what the noisy naysayers maintain . . ..

What Are They Looking At?

If, as the saying goes, a picture is worth 1000 words, this attempted enhancement gives only 250 of them. The fact is this: this is a video screen grab from a computer monitor –it is a picture of a picture of a picture- which has been taken at a distance of a slide in its frame. It is not a photographic print made from the slide, nor does it show the slide's projected image on a screen.

Importantly, this poor-quality image is not even in color as are the original Kodachromes (a sepia-tone was applied to the image in the video.) The size and perspective of the being –and its texture and shape- is hugely distorted and important key details are unable to be seen.

A reproduction of an image can only be as good as its source material – and that source material was intentionally modified in the preview video. Bear in mind too that this is only one of the two slides that exists. This slide is the least interesting of the two. The other slide provides greater clarity and with far more detail revealed.

None of the photo-scientists who analyzed the slides were working with such degraded material like a video screen grab- they were working with the 'raw' original slides and with high-definition enlargements of them. This is not so of the many who give ill-informed opinions about them.

Finally, the image on the video was only offered as to give an idea or preview of the 'real deal.' It was not intended by any means whatsoever to be used to technically dissect the image or to offer the 'full view' of what the slides actually show. It is difficult to understand what some people do not understand about that.

From Hoax To Hydrocephalic-
Desperate Attempts for An Explanation

There have been cries from some quarters that the slides are not authentic, or depict a mummy or even a hydrocephalic deformity. And these cries are as loud as they are incorrect.

To address the question of dating of the slides and the possibility of photographic deception, here is a summation of analysis done by experts from industry and academia:
• The film is manufacture coded (edge code dated) as 1927 or 1947 or 1967

• The protective lacquer used on the film is from the 1930s to 1960, eliminating the year 1927

• The cardboard sleeve used is 1941-1949, eliminating the year 1967 and leaving 1949 as the latest date the film was exposed
By simple process of elimination using these findings, we are left with the year 1947. Allegations that somehow the owner of the film was able to locate, purchase and take undeveloped, pristine and preserved Kodachrome filmstock from the specific year 1947 and find a way to take a picture with it and have it successfully developed using the old stock is ludicrous. I challenge anyone anywhere at any time to today find such 1947 cardboard slide sleeves and unused 1947 Kodachrome film, find an appropriate camera, take a picture of what is shown, and then have it processed.

If the being depicted in the slide was made in 1947 was a model or dummy, it in no way correlates to the 1940s concept of what 'Martians' look like and everything like what witnesses to the bodies at Roswell reported. Too, the slides were found hidden amongst well over 100 other slides taken by the Rays in the 1940s, so everything must be viewed within this context.

To address the question of whether or not the being depicted is that of a mummy or of a hydrocephalic:

• Hydrocephaly is a condition whereby there is an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles of the brain causing bulbous enlargement of the skull. The treatment is to use a cerebral shunt to regulate amount, flow direction and pressure of the fluid. However, there are two things that must be understood. According to the journal Annual Review of Hydrocephalus, the long-term survival of hydrocephalics before 1960 (the year shunts were introduced as a treatment) was exceedingly low. Dr. Spyros Sgourus says that there was "high morbidity and mortality associated with treatment of hydrocephalus in the 1930s and 1940s." According to the Review, in the 1940s, before shunting was established, infants with hydrocephalus had a very poor prognosis for survival. The fact is that the being pictured in the slides is between 3.5-4.0 feet tall and because of this is not a hydrocephalic infant. The skirted female legs (stocky like Hilda Ray) shown in the slide give us a very good sense of the length of the being she is looking at.

• Clear versions of the slides depict a being whose anatomy does not correspond to a human being. The limbs (legs and arms) are exceeding thin, frail and fragile, characteristics that are not associated with hydrocephalus. In fact, the torso (which has been opened) and rest of the body look nothing like any known case of hydrocephalus in history. The skull too, is enlarged but not 'bulbous' which is characteristic of non-shunted hydrocephalics.

• The being's head is severed from the body (not evident in the screen grab) and one eye is missing. The chest and the abdominal cavity are missing. Hydrocephalic corpses are kept intact in medical study and display.

• The being has no teeth and has wide-set eyes. Lack of teeth and wide set eyes are not known to be conditions associated with hydrocephaly.

• In the actual slides it is evident that the being has only four fingers. To my knowledge, mummies and hydrocephalics are not typically missing a fifth digit.

• A detail not known or revealed to anyone but those who have seen the slides is that close-ups of the being's face show a very 'pointed' chin, a chin that in no way resembles a human, mummified or hydrocephalic. In fact, the facial features do not in any way match that of other known hydrocephalics or mummies.

• One commenter (Gilles Fernandes) has shown a side-by-side comparison of the video grabbed slide and an infant mummy. He circles the feet of both, making a comparison and implying that they are one and the same. However, the image Mr. Fernandes offers is that of a specimen who is far, far shorter than 3.5-4.0 tall. And what is depicted in the slide is not a foot at all, but something else, perhaps a piece of debris lying on the surface. The being's feet actually end behind the placard. In the actual slide there is even another similar, smaller such item which can be seen.

• This 'placard' is not very evident in the video grab image. However, it has been enlarged by experts and the writing, in red ink, is handwritten, not typed, as would be found in a biological display in a museum.

• Most importantly, the placard, as well as the support structure that the being rests upon, are clearly 'temporary.' The structure looks very make-shift, resembling a quickly-assembled 'erector set' type deal, with beams that have ratchet holes in them. The set-up in no way whatsoever resembles that of a professional museum display. It is not a well-crafted, pristine glass museum display box, but something not meant to be at all permanent. There is also a military-green blanket upon which the being rests, atypical of any such museum display of other biological specimens.

• Mummies are desiccated. This being was obviously either recently alive before the fatal pictures were taken, or had been embalmed.

• The Rays hid these two slides away and separate from the other slides found in a chest and were only discovered by the owners much later, as if to indicate that these two slides held special importance and meaning.

A Circus- But Who Are The Real Ringmasters?

Some rabid skeptics have disparagingly termed the whole slide affair as 'a circus.' If it has in some way become one, it is not at all due to the actions of those who seek to study and present the slides. In fact it is outsiders who have tried to insert themselves into the saga who are the real ringmasters.

It began with a 'leak' of the story nearly three years ago. An anonymous individual apparently contacted researcher Nick Redfern and divulged what he knew. Nick then –understandably- began contacting researchers to gain more information. When word of the slides existence became public, very sick behavior ensued:
• This author had his computer system hacked in an attempt to gain more information about the slides, or perhaps to obtain the slides themselves.

• Other researchers including Nick Redfern and Tom Carey (who had his stored documents 'crypto-locked' with malware) were also hacked.

• Information and names obtained from my stolen emails on the slides investigation was made public on a website (before being deleted.)

• Some people began contacting -or threatened to contact- involved photo scientists and witnesses (including a 90 year old man) in an effort to either gain more information or to derail the investigation.

• Money was stolen from my credit card account in a 'skimming' scheme resulting from the hack of my computer system. Bank investigators are currently engaged in resolving this.

• Accusations of hoax were made even before any release of any type of the slides. I was directly accused of being 'a liar' and other defamatory and legally-actionable comments were made against me and my reputation.

• Phone calls were placed to me in the wee hours by blocked callers who threatened me with 'exposure' as a fraud and my family members have even been harassed.

• Some have recently blogged accusing investigators of "pretending" to be hacked to build publicity and mystery. Falsely reporting that a crime has been committed (charges have been filed with the FBI) is a federal offense.

Making Money On The Slides

Some have said that the whole thing has been done to make money. But what has really motivated the slides investigation is a sense of obligation to truth and to history. What these skeptics fail utterly to understand is the great expense –both personal and monetary- that this slide investigation has cost. Who do they think paid for the expert analysis of the slides? Who do they think paid for repeated visits to places like New Mexico, Texas and Rochester? Who paid for the hotels, car rentals, meals out? On whose dime and on whose time do they think all this investigation was done? This has all been self-funded by the owner and the investigators. And every moment that has been taken investigating the slides is a moment that has been taken away from making a living or time with family. Frankly the gall that some have to suggest that this should all be unpaid effort is beyond belief. And despite attempts at gaining mainstream media interest, none was obtained. A public venue was chosen and a live broadcast planned (on May 5th) that has to be paid for by someone, and a self-funded documentary such as Mr. Dew's was produced. Skeptics should thank those involved, not condemn them. And as the discoverer of the slides, why shouldn't the owner enjoy recompense? I cannot understand why some insist this should be a volunteer effort and that everything should be done for free. That said, this author has neither received nor sought any compensation- but I do not in any way at all find any fault for those that do.

What the Slides Say about Us

Perhaps as interesting as the remarkable story of the slides themselves is the remarkable story of how people have dealt with such news. Jealousy, a sense of exclusion, and an inability to accept the possibility of what the slides do represent have all been in evidence during the slides saga. The compulsion by some to insert themselves into the story and to offer their judgment even before the slides and study are presented is worthy of a psychology study. Indeed, what the slides say about life beyond Earth is as telling as those who live upon it.

Sneak Peak at The Roswell Alien Slides?

Above is our example of a still from Adam's documentary; the image was enlarged, enhanced, reconfigured to the proper perspective (as to look at it straight on) and finally (re)encased in a time relevant, Kodachrome pressboard mount. (Credit: Slidebox Media)

As most of our readers are painfully aware, the saga surrounding the alleged Roswell alien slides took yet another turn, in where UFO celebrity and host/producer of Místico e Inexplicable (Mystical and Unexplained [as seen on Galavision]) Jaime Maussan, publicly (on January 29th, 2015) announced the following:

"Important news item: Mexico has been chosen to present an item of evidence that will change history. This coming May 5th at the National Auditorium, some of the most renowned experts in the world will appear before 10,000 spectators [Donald R. Schmitt, Thomas J. Carey, Adam Dew, ]. They have researched what is without the most important case of all time. Evidence from this case shall be presented. Edgar Mitchell will be among those present, the 6th man to walk on the lunar surface, who has spoken with us about the possibility that we are being visited, a man with access to the most confidential files, one who has spoken with the most important world figures. More details will be made known briefly in a press conference before the domestic and international media. The event will be held on [date on screen] so that you may also be a witness, and also form part of history. An extraordinary event!"

Shortly thereafter, researcher Tony Bragalia followed up with an article revisiting the details of the slides narrative and like Maussan, concluded that the slides represent smoking gun evidence of alien beings connected to the Roswell Incident.

From there Maussan held a live press conference which included interviews with Roswell/slides researchers Don Schmitt, Tom Carey and newcomer Adam Dew; astronaut Edgar Mitchell was also interviewed separately.

Additional videos of individual interviews of the players involved would follow, all wrapped up in the hype of the upcoming show which will reveal the alien slides, i.e., smoking gun evidence as claimed by Maussan.

In the middle of all of this, (new comer) Adam Dew launched his YouTube channel, with a premiere of his upcoming documentary (see below) on the slides (entitled, Kodachrome - A Documentary) and the presumed photographers, Bernerd & Hilda Ray. (In an interview with Maussan, Dew details his involvement and in part–states that he is a friend of the current owner of the slides).

Dew is a freelance sports videographer and owner of Dew Media Inc; however, the documentary and YouTube channel are attributed to the new entity, Slidebox Media.



Still showing alleged Roswell Alien Slides from Kodachrome documentary trailer (Credit: Slidebox Media).

Between the Maussan videos and Dew's documentary, the actual slides are shown in a few instances; to no one's surprise, stills of the scenes showing the slides have been popping up in various places. Of course, the slides when shown in the video, are at a distance, small and shot at an angle. Nevertheless, some of the renderings (albe them far from pristine) appear to show what the public has been conditioned to deem a Roswell Alien, e.g., small in stature, large head, large eyes etc.

As the various renderings demonstrate, there isn't much to work with from the get-go, nevertheless we thought we'd try our hand at it here at TUFOC. Above is our example of a still from Adam's documentary; the image was enlarged, enhanced, reconfigured to the proper perspective (as to look at it straight on) and finally (re)encased in a time relevant, Kodachrome pressboard mount.

Roswell Alien Slides To Be Unveiled in May Via a Live Streamed Event
The Public Reveal of The Roswell Alien Slides

By Anthony Bragalia
The UFO Chronicles
2-1-15



What some say represents stunning visual evidence of a humanoid creature that was found crashed near Roswell, NM in 1947 will soon to be released in an international livestream event. Referred to by some as "the Roswell Slides," the Kodachrome images have now been authenticated by expert scientists and their provenance has been confirmed. During that long process many have speculated about precisely what these pictures show. People will now be able to see for themselves with the public reveal of the slides on May 5th 2015.


National Auditorium, Mexico City

The event will include presenters Dr. Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man on the Moon, as well as noted authors and Roswell investigators Tom Carey and Don Schmitt. Transmitted live from the 10,000 seat National Auditorium in Mexico City, the history and background context of the slides (as well as other facets of the case) will be detailed. Tom Carey, who made international news when he announced the discovery of the slides at American University in Washington, DC last month, will be providing more information and logistical details on the event shortly.

A Short Slides Redux

Some years ago, while an attic was being cleaned out, a chest was found containing many Kodachrome slides. Two Kodachrome slides were later found to have been separately hidden in an envelope within the inner lining of the chest's lid. The chest and its contents were traced and found to have belonged to an intriguing, childless couple that are now deceased.

This author made the discovery that the husband, Bernerd A. Ray, was an Oil Exploration Geologist working the fields in New Mexico and the Permian Basin (which includes the Roswell region) in the 1940s for a company that would later become part of Texaco. In 1947 he was the President of the Texas chapter of the American Institute of Petroleum Geologists, which also at that time 'folded in' the State of New Mexico. After 1947, Bernerd became a 'ghost' in his profession and did not publish nor appear to be active with the Institute ever again.


Hilda Ray, Esq.
National Auditorium, Mexico City
Hilda Blair Ray

Bernerd's wife was Hilda Blair Ray. Researchers Tom Carey and Don Schmitt and the current owner of the film learned that Hilda was a highly respected lawyer with a high-end clientele and possible intelligence connections. A private pilot, she maintained favorable relations with well-placed individuals in both the public and private sectors during the 1940s. The other slides in the chest (over 100) are often found depicting accomplished people, including Dwight Eisenhower. This is a couple who were of the highest integrity. And both had contacts and activities that could have fortuitously enabled them to obtain these slides. And neither would have been the type to hide away hoaxed images as part of some sick prank, only to have those images found decades later by happenstance. This busy professional couple was also philanthropic with no propensity to prank.

Why The Slides are Genuine

Professionals from a range of disciplines who have seen the slides agree that they depict a small humanoid creature –a formerly living thing- that is not a prop nor a genetically defective human. And importantly, the being that is shown in the slides does not correlate whatsoever to the depictions of aliens extant in the popular culture of the 1940s (such as those that appeared in pulp magazines like Amazing Stories or movies like Buck Rogers) What the slides depict were not even part of the public psyche of that time. This is not how people envisioned things from outer space to look like back then. Instead, these 1947 slides reveal a being that looks like the beings found in the desert in 1947 as described by the witnesses to Roswell.

I was asked by Tom Carey to find the best available talent to test and analyze these Kodak slides. An extensive search was conducted and I found that talent. A Photo Scientist employed by Kodak for decades who will be named at the event, this expert has led engineering, production and product management groups at the company's Rochester, NY headquarters. Now a consultant, he also published the definitive book on Kodak film processes. Highly acknowledged in his field, he conducted extensive testing on the slides and conclusively authenticated the slides of the creature as having been exposed in the year 1947. It was also concluded that the slides had not been tampered with nor manipulated in any way. What is depicted is really there, accurately reflected in the emulsion as an actual moment in time in 1947. Science has weighed in and has determined that these are real slides that are really from 1947.

And Law would agree with Science in this case. In the eyes of the courts, the slides serve as two types of legally admissible evidence. Circumstantial Evidence represents informed and reasonable inferences that can be made about a case given the specific circumstances and history surrounding it. The circumstances and history surrounding the Rays is very telling- from who they were and what they did, to where they were and who they knew. Documentary Evidence is a legal term that relates to evidence that accurately reflects a moment in time. This includes video, sound recordings, x-rays, photographs and slides.

The Only Conclusion

This humanoid is not a deformed person, mummy, dummy, simian or dead serviceman. It is not a creature that finds its origin on Earth. And given that the slides of this creature were taken the very same year as the Roswell UFO crash; that the appearance of the creature matches the reported appearance of the Roswell crash aliens; and given that the person who was in original possession of the slides was a geologist working the New Mexico desert throughout the 1940's, it is not a jump or stretch to then conclude that these slides indeed show the corpse of one of the creatures found fallen at Roswell.

Revealing the "Roswell Slides"

If you are fascinated by the UFO controversy and aren't aware of the even bigger controversy of the so-called "Roswell Slides" then you must surely have been living under a rock for a fairly significant amount of time. It's a story that goes back a couple of years and concerns the acquisition of slides – from 1947 – said to show the corpse of a strange creature allegedly (A) born on another world and; (B) scooped up by the U.S military in the summer of 1947. Yep: Roswell. The bodies. Finally. So we are told.


Will the revealed slides show any resemblance to this scene at the Roswell Museum?

Then there is the matter of a certain computer hacker who 100 percent illegally accessed the emails of me, Tony Bragalia and Rich Reynolds of the UFO Conjecture(s) blog, who has extensively written and commented on the matter of the slides. There was supposed to have been a law enforcement investigation of this. It seems to have fizzled away. No matter, a new one is soon to begin.
All of which brings me back to what's going to happen on May 5. Maybe we will get the truth of Roswell. Maybe we won't. Or, maybe, we will get what Ufology always gives us: more questions, more enigmas, and nothing 100 percent solid.

Noted Skeptic, Robert Sheaffer Gets Face-Time with Roswell Alien Slides Documentary Film-Maker, Adam Dew

A Skeptic at the UFO Congress, 2015 - Part 3 (final)
By Robert Sheaffer
badufos.blogspot.com
2-25-15

Editor's note: Noted skeptic, Robert Sheaffer made the trip to The UFO Congress last week and posted his experience to his blog (while there), which in large part were the talks he attended by various UFO personalities–this included Mexican UFO journalist, Jaime Maussan. Towards the end of his talk, Maussan introduced Adam Dew, who (as our regular readers are aware) is one of the parties involved in the upcoming show, hosted by Maussan to reveal the so-called Roswell Alien Slides. In the aftermath, Sheaffer was able to get some face-time with Dew. With Robert's permission, we present that dialogue here:

     Afterward, a number of people sought out Maussan, but nobody was talking to Dew. I introduced myself to him, and began asking him questions.
Sheaffer: How did you first obtain the slides?

Dew: The slides were found by the sister of my friend as she was cleaning out a house to be demolished in Sedona, AZ. They said, Adam is a video expert, let's give the slides to him.

Sheaffer: Who is the owner of the slides?

Dew: My company is the "owner" of the slides, it controls the slides.

Sheaffer: How did Schmitt and Carey get involved?

Dew: I've spent two years researching and investigating the slides. I wanted to speak to people who have seen the bodies.

Sheaffer: Did Schmitt & Carey claim to see bodies?

Dew: No, but they are the professionals. They spoke with credible people who did.

[I explained that Karl Pflock (certainly no UFO debunker) showed that all of the supposed "witnesses" who claimed to have seen alien bodies in Roswell have been discredited ("only four persons claiming firsthand knowledge of alien bodies have been interviewed by Roswell authors and identified publicly... there can be no reasonable doubt that none of the purported firsthand witnesses to alien bodies and a lonesome survivor is credible. Not one." Pflock, Roswell - Inconvenient Facts and the Will to Believe, p. 118, 120.). I should also have mentioned Schmitt's well-known loose relationship with the truth. (Neither Schmitt or Carey was at the Congress this year. I spoke with Schmitt when he was there last year, but nothing was said about the Roswell Slides.)]

Sheaffer: How did Maussan get involved?

Dew: Schmitt and Carey brought him in. Maussan offered a nice package.

[I explained how the fact of Maussan's involvement made many knowledgeable people in the UFO field immediately suspect a hoax, given his reputation for promoting many UFO hoaxes in the past. I had the impression that Dew, clearly a newcomer to UFOlogy, was not familiar with Maussan's oeuvre, or his reputation as a purveyor of rubbish. I suspect that Dew did not realize how much trouble bringing in Maussan would cause. He felt that some people were being very unfair and making unfair accusations about the slides, that they have not even seen. I referred to Maussan's just-concluded talk, invisible beings and such, as illustrating my point. ]

Dew: "Was all of it fake?"

Sheaffer: "Yes"

Dew: "How can you prove that?"

[I explained that the burden of proof is on Maussan to show that his wild claims are valid, not on me to disprove them. Dew agreed.]

Dew: I'm interested to bring this thing to the public, to people who don't know Maussan. I just did an interview about this in Chicago, on WGN.
A few minutes later, Dew came up to me and asked if he could interview me about the slides! I agreed, and signed his standard release form.

We talked about the controversy over the slides.

I explained how Maussan's involvement made people extremely suspicious of the slides.

[HeywoodFloyd]

Thanks for the thread and for the detailed information.

I find the case interesting, and we are just a few days from the official presentation of the slides on May 5th.
I admit I am quite curious.

It appears that there is strong evidence that the slides are authentic and from 1947.

If so, the slides - whatever they will show - could represent solid and substantial proof (of what we all already know...)

By the way, the presentation trailer is very good, and very well made and produced.

Of course, until the slides are presented, there is nothing to say about the "content", so we just have to wait and see.

But the consequences could be interesting...

Oh the hype.

I am really surprised - and quite disappointed - that in this forum there is not a discussion about these slides - which, by the way, will be officially presented in just a few hours.

[RUSSO]

I am really surprised - and quite disappointed - that in this forum there is not a discussion about these slides - which, by the way, will be officially presented in just a few hours.

I think the reason for that is there was so many deceptions in the past people are waiting the photos to be released first. There is not much to discuss that could add light in this case that is not already in the internet for personal scrutiny.

In my case, I need to see the photos first. Im in the hype tho

[zorgon]

I am really surprised - and quite disappointed - that in this forum there is not a discussion about these slides - which, by the way, will be officially presented in just a few hours.

Well there is little point discussing slides that no one has seen yet  All we would be doing is guessing.   Even if they are 'authentic 1947 slide' doesn't automatically make the CONTENT on the slides real.

In the case of the Turkey UFO that appeared three years in a row, an analysis of the PHOTOS proved that the PHOTOS were real... nothing was said about what the photos showed  But in these days all you need is to say "Some lab somewhere authenticated that they are real photos" and Voila  case closed

The fact that Jamie Maussan is involved   well call me when we have something

Everytime there is a lot of hype on a "discovery"  it is usually the hype that sells and in the end we are left with nothing
