Vice-President Dick Cheney recently returned to the UFO capitol of the
world - Roswell, New Mexico. It was his first trip there since a visit
there during the waning days of the 2000 Presidential campaign.

During his first Roswell visit in late October 2000, newspapers reported,

"Cheney was greeted by a sign that depicted a little green man with
a heart and the name ‘Cheney’—as in ‘Space Aliens Love Cheney.’" Because
Cheney had been a former Secretary of Defense, many within the UFO
community speculated that the visit might have been a hint at an
upcoming UFO disclosure. Even the October 26, 2000 New York Times noted
the extraterrestrial significance of the Cheney stopover with its
headline "The Alien Factor: And Out in Roswell."

Another reason for the Ufological optimism was that the 2000 Roswell
visit by Cheney occurred shortly after the now infamous meeting between
presidential candidate George W. Bush and Arkansas native Charles
Huffer. It was during that July 2000 campaign encounter that Huffer
asked George Bush if he were elected President would he disclose,

"the truth about UFOs." Bush in reply stated "Sure. I will... It
will be the first thing he (pointing to Cheney) will do. He’ll get right
on it."

Therefore, when Cheney arrived in Roswell a few months later, many
thought it was a sign of positive things to come. Cheney, to the
disappointment of many UFO watchers, simply made his speech with no
mention of E.T.s or anything remotely close, and flew on to Wyoming.
Disclosure didn’t come, but the UFO hopefuls still remained optimistic.

The latest October 2002 visit by Cheney to Roswell also came with signs
that this too could be a nod and a wink to the UFO community. Instead of
speaking at the town hall as he had in 2000, Cheney chose to speak to
the 3,000 faithful inside Hanger 32 at the Roswell Industrial Air
Center. (Formally Roswell Army Air Field) This hanger, of course, is
just a hop and a skip down the tarmac from Hanger 84 where the Roswell
alien bodies were rumored to have been stored following the now famous
1947 Roswell weather balloon crash.

The most recent visit to the old Roswell Air Base also closely mimicked
the visit a fellow Republican, and former president, Ronald Reagan made
to the base for a campaign speech for then Senator Harrison Schmitt in
1982. Like Cheney, Reagan made a short stopover Roswell speech in late
October, just prior to the mid-term election.

Like the Cheney visits, the Reagan visit to the Roswell Air Base also
stirred up the UFO community, occurring only months after Steven
Spielberg had visited the White House and had given a private screening
of "E.T.: The Extraterrestrial" for Reagan and three dozen of his close
friends and colleagues. While giving his Roswell speech, Reagan always
prepared to play to the audience, even mentioned the popular "E.T." in
his speech.
