Dennis Balthaser, former librarian of the Roswell UFO Museum in Roswell, New Mexico, has released the following statement about his termination from the famous museum:

This correspondence will serve as a blanket notification that on October 28, 1998, Glenn Dennis (President of the International UFO Museum and Research Center) in Roswell, NM, told me to sever all relationships with the Museum and I was not to be affiliated with the Museum anymore.

As most of you know I have in the past been on the Board of Directors, was the Operations Manager and most recently the UFO Investigator. All three of those positions were very rewarding, always putting the interest of the Museum, the witnesses and visitors in the forefront. That meant doing and saying things that at times were not agreeable to everyone.

I have no regrets for anything I did at the Museum during the past two years, as I think the results speak for themselves. Because of the current leadership of the Museum (Glenn Dennis, Glenda Shafer, certain board members and certain volunteers) the Museum will probably continue to be a tourist attraction, but does not appear to have the leadership to develop it into the potential it should have.
