- ("ROSWELL" review continued).
-
- The film stars Kyle MacLachlan ("Twin Peaks", "Dune") as US Army Air Force
- (RAAF) intelligence officer Jesse Marcel and also has one of my favourite
- actors, Martin Sheen, playing a "Deep Throat" type of character (Townsend),
- who weaves in all the more contemporary UFO "lore" (be it information or
- disinformation, including a "MJ12" type group, James Forrestal's
- communication with the Roswell alien, his "suicide", the Holloman EBE
- landing of 1964, Area 51, cattle Mutilations, abductions, etc).
-
- The film has good production values and at the very least makes for
- stimulating and thoughtful entertainment. Just at what level you take it
- depends entirely on your position and knowledge of this affair.
- I'm sure that the film will serve the purpose of making people think able
- the UFO phenomenon and more specifically the Roswell affair. The USAF has
- now released their "final" report on the saga "weaving" a story around the
- Mogul balloon explanation. It will be interesting to see how this whole
- saga will develop, given the "critical mass" it is reaching with this film,
- the various books and all the other offerings about the Roswell saga.
- People interested in further details on the Roswell affair should at least
