Summary Now, on the fiftieth anniversary of the alleged crash, Korff has undertaken to examine and explain what may be one of the most baffling UFO cases of all time. He uncovers information never before published - military records, formerly classified projects, and correspondence - revelations powerful enough to change public opinion forever. He systematically examines the testimony of virtually everyone who claims to have been involved - from Mac Brazel, the rancher who found the "crashed saucer," to Maj. Jesse Marcel, who helped recover the material, to the military personnel who may have formulated the world's greatest cover-up. Korff assesses the claims of the "new" witnesses, the confusion regarding two "crash" sites, and the "alien" materials recovered. He even includes an evaluation of the "alien autopsy" film. Korff concludes his expert analysis with a chapter that clearly distinguishes fact from fiction
Did a flying saucer really crash in the New Mexico desert? According to popular belief, in early July 1947 the U.S. military secretly recovered the remains of a crashed UFO and its alien crew near the town of Roswell, New Mexico. There is no doubt something occurred at that remote desert outpost; the question is what, and has our government been hiding the facts for half a century?
