Show : THE ZEPHYR/OCTOBER-NOVEMBER ALIEN?...SCHMALIEN! Dear Zephyr, I was.very disappointed with Ron Regehr's article "Is Grand County Alien Country?”. This poorly written and unobjectional story doesn't quite measure up to the Zephyr's usual standard. PEER 2005 WAJURE THE GEEN RESTORE A MASTERPIECE CANYON INSTITUTE WWW.GLENCANYON.ORG I'm not sure just how Mr. Regehr came to his conclusions, claiming these "genuine events... withstood close scrutiny and investigation”. Whatscrutiny? What investigation? By whom? These events clearly lack common sense and show a narrow minded approach from the writer. With a minimal amount of information, people can quickly jump to some pretty bizarre conclusions. A very dear friend of mine and myself were observing the moonrise a few months ago, when suddenly my friend became quite excited at the site of a bright light just above the Moab Rim. Exclaiming that the light was "coming right at us" I calmly CATHEDRAL IN THE DESEIME: provided him with the rest of the story. Venus was rising and was the closest it had been to Earth in quite some time. It was only a planet. So before thinking "aha, aliens!", it seems to me these events offer other more reasonable conclusions. The lights over the La Sals in 1917 could've indeed been airplanes with high powered search lights. Who says they need an airbase to take off from? Aircraft during this time commonly used flat open-space makeshift airfields. The “mysterious MARCH 2004 disappearing USAF officer" sounds more like an AWOL incident, coupled with some sort of emotional distress, or possibly a drug induced hallucination. If he was involved in some covert action for our military, it makes perfect sense why the air force would quickly cover up the incident. The Cataract Canyon "sighting" could have been almost anything, particularly when you consider the small size of the "UFO". This incident was, first of all, heresay, and could have been produced out of a number things like headlights, smoke from a camp fire, or possibly even an acid trip. As for "Dr. R" and others like him, it's a shame these people fail to realize how powerful our dream-state can be. How many of us have had dreams where we feel we're "really there". Coupled with the sci-fi garbage that has permeated our media for more than 50 years (alien abduction reports cease to exist prior to this time), there certainly seems to be a logical explanation. é So all in all really didn't learn anything new, but certainly gota good chuckle. Perhaps Mr. Regehr should direct his future articles towards The National Enquirer. 7. G. Hurt Moab Editor’s Note: Actually the Air Force officer story WAS extremely well-documented and confirmed by doctors and nurses at Allen Memorial Hospital, ina separate Zephyr story by Peter Haney several years ago.

And I’ve appreciated the observations and criticisms of those who’ve felt compelled to respond. 2 But I would like to offer to you and everyone the idea that what has been identified as acraze, driven by commercial exploitation of the land, is about a symptom of a far greater threat, the threat of an entire culture destroying itself in the vain attempt to satiate the physical. The presumption that happiness is out there somewhere in the doing or the seeing. When this vain-glorious generation of thrill seekers has passed from the stage of human drama, when our children’s children lay claim to those sacred _places we now call ~ ours, no doubt these keen reasoning far-thinking people will have evolved the spiritual insight to more correctly discern that happiness is a product of the inner life. And those lonely and desolate and beautiful places will be recognized for their worth as places for soul rejuvenation and worshipful contemplation. And maybe-just maybe—humankind will have invented institutions wholly and solely for the purpose of self-gratification. And that sir, will put an end to this need we all feel, the need to consume to enjoy.
