New Mexico.  Roswell, New Mexico, to be exact, and only three years
before the "incident," is where Henry John Deutschendorf Jr., who we
know as John Denver, was born.  This is no joke; it was reported in
the New York Times just this week.  He was a member of the National
Space Board.  He starred in a Major Motion Picture as a man who was
selected to deliver the word of "God" to the human race.  He died
flying his experimental "aircraft."

Why did it take us so long to notice?

P.S. -- It is well known that many extraterrestrial beings have
substance abuse problems.
