The Autumn Of Smoking Guns
The Autumn Of Smoking Guns
Left: Boyd Bushman, Right: Tom Carey
We've seen it many times over with the Hollywood machine. Deep Impact vs. Armageddon. Volcano vs. Dante's Peak. The Prestige vs. The Illusionist. When one movie studio sees potential dollar signs about to explode from a competing company, they rush a similar film out for release. A film whose lonely script lay dormant in the shadows, never to see the light of day. Until that desperate studio executive, hungry to get back in the game, remembers that one script they brushed past many, many years ago that had promise, but it just wasn't the right time. But now that its estranged twin sibling is already in pre-production, it has just become the most important script in the studio's arsenal. Hey baby... this is show business!
This concept, although ridiculous at first glance, is prevalent not only in Hollywood, but it would seem that it is now trickling, drip by drip, into the ever-so-titillating world of UFO “smoking guns.” With two major headlines running a little less than a month apart, both the following claims of alien photos made headlines across the internet. They soon racked up millions of hits and an interest amongst UFO enthusiasts and the mass public sent both stories into viral oblivion. With both stories holding some water, the real question is; how tainted is the well? And just exactly what are the motives of those bringing forth the information? Let's that a look at both incidents, and just exactly what may smolder the smoking guns into dusty ash.
The Boyd Bushman Affair
On October 8th, 2014, a video was uploaded to Youtube of Boyd Bushman, a former Lockheed Martin engineer. The video, which lay dormant for almost two weeks, suddenly went viral, compiling millions of hits within days. In the video, Bushman, in a rather ominous and desolate deathbed confession (Died August 7th, 2014.) said that he had obtained information and photos of exotic, and somewhat extraterrestrial technology from a contact who had worked at Area 51. But the most intriguing photo to surface during the video was that of a small alien creature. According to information Bushman's contact gave him, this type of alien creature is “approximately four and a half to five feet tall” and “have three back bones” that are “actually cartilage.” Bushman also relayed that these aliens have been in close contact with government officials. “They're able to use their own voice by telepathy to talk to you,” Bushman said. “You walk in the room with one of them, and all of a sudden you find yourself giving the answer to your question in your own voice.”

The video gained traction, many major news outlets taking notice. But it wouldn't last long. The story suddenly came to a disappointing halt when a chance glance by a Reddit user ignited suspicion. This user posted a photo of a toy alien that resembled the alien in Bushman's photo. The similarities were astounding. What was even worse is that the toy could be purchased at any given Walmart across the United States. It didn't take long for the entire deathbed confession to turn sour, even though Bushman was indeed a former Lockheed employee and served the position he first stated.
Heated debates began to spread that either Bushman had been fooled into believing that the alien in the photo was real, or, he had himself been spreading vicious disinformation all along. One is left wondering however, that in his final days, why he would perpetuate a hoax of such deceptive proportions. Was it simply to gain attention before dying? Or was Bushman used to spread a hoax by the hands of others? Perhaps, we will never know for sure, as the video will surly fade into fringe-filled obscurity as UFO-related controversy often does. But it would less than a month later that another claim of alien photos would make its way to the forefront. But this time, it would take place at one of the most prestigious collegiate universities in the United States.
The Tom Carey Affair
It was on November 12th, 2014, that a special presentation took place at American University. The panel discussion, titled: UFOs: Encounters by Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials, included talks by Dr. Richard Haines, co-founder of the National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena (NARCAP), Leslie Kean, investigative journalist and author of the New York Times Best-Selling book, UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record, and an extremely compelling talk by retired U.S. Air Force Colonel Charles Halt, a prime witness to the Rendlesham Forest UFO incident of 1980.

The panel discussion was highly informative and thought-provoking. Intelligent conversation took place between the panel and audience. It was exactly what the UFO topic needed. And then came a bomb that no one quite expected. Tom Carey, Roswell researcher, and co-author of Witness to Roswell, was invited, at the last minute, to participate in the discussion. That is when he told the crowd that he had the “smoking gun” that would prove the existence of aliens. His proof supposedly came in the form of photos depicting a dead alien allegedly from the famous 1947 UFO crash. He claimed that these photos were on Kodachrome color slides. He went on to legitimize the authenticity of the photos by saying, “What’s interesting is, the film is dated 1947. We took it to the official historian of Kodak up in Rochester, New York, and he did his due diligence on it, and he said yes, this filmstrip, the slides are from 1947. It’s 1947 stock. And from the emulsions on the image, it’s not something that’s been Photoshopped like today. It’s original 1947 images, and it shows an alien who’s been partially dissected lying in a case.”
Similar to the description of the alien in Bushman's photo from the deathbed confession, Carey described the alien in the photos he obtained in the following manner; "three and a half to four feet tall, the head is almost insect-like.” He went on to describe in morbid detail that... "The head has been severed, and there’s been a partial autopsy; the innards have been removed, and we believe the cadaver has been embalmed, at least at the time this picture was taken.”

One may ask, How did a UFO researcher retrieve such an epic smoking gun? Carey responded to this inquiry, stating that he received the color slides from a woman in Texas. According to Carey, she... “was a high-powered Midland, Texas, lawyer with a pilot’s license. We think she was involved in intelligence in World War II, and her husband was a field geologist for an oil company.” So we have a supposed woman, that was supposedly involved in intelligence during the war who supposedly has photos of a dead alien from the supposed crash of a UFO. This would beg perhaps the most important question to be asked of Carey after admitting such a bomb on the panel and audience at American University. Where is the photo and can we see it?
Carey's response? He didn't have the photos with him and couldn't share it yet.
So here we sit, no closer to a smoking gun than before. And those in the UFO research community, who were so proud to have such prominent people speaking seriously at a college level , are left shaking their heads as to why such a sensational claim would be brought up during a ground-breaking achievement for the UFO discussion. In fact, Leslie Kean was quick to respond to the claim on her Facebook page only hours later, saying, “I had nothing to do with the Roswell part. Just want to make that clear.” She would go on to respond to a statement that the dead alien would overshadow the entire panel in terms of news coverage. “This is exactly what I predicted would happen, and it did. It was made worse by Carey's surprise announcement. I hope that people can see through that and realize how positive it was that the panel was hosted by a major university, and that's what's important.”

Conclusion
We have one dead alien claim hitting millions across the world over Youtube, and we have another hitting the headlines of major news outlets, completely drowning out an important panel discussion that could have brought serious attention to the UFO topic. Dead alien claim vs. dead alien claim. The Hollywood machine has won yet again. One is left wondering if money is a driving factor in all this. Is there someone deep in the shadows responsible for all this sensational material? Are they pulling strings and pocketing dollars, using the "Dead Alien" platform as their cash-cow? We may never know. The fact of the matter is that we are left with a deathbed confession with no solid proof, and a claim of alien photos with no photos to analyze. Simple as that.
What's even more frustrating is that even though Tom Carey is seen as a credible and honest researcher within the confines of the UFO research community, the moment his claims branch out in to the mainstream media, no one will care about the careful research he has done for decades and decades. They will simply attach him to this photo debacle until the actual photos are released. And even then, there will be endless amounts of conjecture and accusations, and we will be left, yet again, in a threat of the story fading away into obscurity. Carey did promise that the photos will be released sometime in 2015. So perhaps we will just have to wait and see what happens. But until then, we are left with the quandary that has existed with the UFO community for so long; we want so much to be taken seriously, yet when it comes down to it, we remain, as we always have, our own worst enemies.
