This was a very interesting read. Having recently read another of Stanton Friedman's works, I knew what to expect and was not disappointed. A multitude of information was provided cover nearly every aspect of the 1947 flying saucer crashes in New Mexico. I highly recommend this book for anyone that's interested in UFOs, Roswell, or government conspiracies.

Stanton Friedman: One of the very few scientists ufologists who make sense.
He researches the topic.
He provides uncontested data.
He defied the arrogant scientists.
He studied the phenomena as an honest scientist.
He spent 30 years investigation Ufos.
He knows!
He knows!
His books are the very core of Ufology.
He is the ONE!

I've read more than a few books and articles and watched several documentaries regarding the events that took place near Roswell in early July 1947. Don Berliner and Stanton Friedman lay out the case that an alien spacecraft crashed near Roswell in a way that I think even skeptics will find tough to dismiss. The book is very well researched and thorough in its findings and, while we'll most likely never have the "smoking gun" that proves beyond any doubt of such a crash, this book is about as close as we can get to the facts concerning that event.

Highly recommended.

I am overwhelmed by the prodigious investigation and scientific research involved to produce this major work, which must be the definitive work on the "Roswell" incidents. Before I read this book, in my ignorance I had believed the "weather balloon" theory! The reader is presented with multiple interviews from eyewitnesses or their relatives, and even some top-secret documents from the highest level of government.

This book provided me with some of the most informative, stimulating and enlightening reading that I've had in years. Congratulations to the authors for such brilliant research and such elegant, brilliant, gripping writing!

As in his book "Top Secret/MAJIC", Stanton Friedman backs up his speculation and theories with solid research. This is a great and definitive examination of the crash at Roswell in 1947.

The author goes through a lot of information and direct & indirect witnesses to try to get to the truth on the Roswell UFO crash. Some of the information does not make a lot of sense. There are three of the most secretive bases in the U.S. in the area of the crash site, and yet the military installations' radar systems, couldn't see beyond 37 miles? What good would that do? And Major Marcel and Cpt. Cavitt spent the night in sleeping bags out in the desert to check out the crash site the next morning? You're kidding right? They couldn't just get up a few hours earlier and leave from their base? A little too "lay back" for military intelligence. Did they make a campfire and sing Cum Bah Yah? I'm not buying that story.

There is a lot of repetition and supposition with chapters like "Implications" which are all speculative "what ifs." Too much filler for my liking.

The best part of the book is the section on San Agustin. I had heard about a secondary UFO crash in Socorro but had not read anything about it until now. The book is worth reading just for that part alone which is worth 4 Stars.

This is a book that everybody that want to know more about Roswell must read!

well reaserched and written.Will defently get you thinking if read with an open mind.While not the definitve(we may never know thw whole story)story on this subject it may well be the most documented of these cases.

This is a very strange subject. It seems to be a case where technology, government secrecy, and the occult all sort of merge together in sinister ways.

There are many interesting facts about the Roswell incident in this book and this information alone for me gives the book 5 stars. It was very interesting for example how when they took the dead creatures to the Roswell base they had to turn off the air conditioning to prevent the horrible smell from spreading around. This is indicating that this was a real event.

Unlike the authors I don't however view this as a scientific issue. I feel people see this event from the perspective of the way human society is today. This causes them to have preconceived ideas about what an alien spacecraft and its occupants might be like. The Roswell event matches those preconceived ideas which is probably an indication that this event, although real, is not what people believe it to be.

The premise of the book is if flying saucers are real then people should expect that they crash sometimes. Rather to me the exact opposite is true. If these are extra terrestrial spacecraft the expectation is they would never crash. They would be so far advanced from Earth technology that we would only see them when they want to be seen and they could not be shot down.

According to the story the spacecraft began to explode so the occupants 'ejected' from it using escape pods but they ended up dying anyway. I guess some people might think this makes sense but to me it doesn't. Even if they were ejected from the vehicle why didn't any of their counterparts come and get them ? They just left them there to rot in the desert ?

The authors themselves now realize that the statements made by Gerald Anderson are not true although this information provided a lot of the framework for the first edition of the book and thus could not easily be removed from this edition. The fact that the authors believed Anderson's statements that one of the creatures was alive and was trying to help one of its friends with a first aid kit shows how gullible the authors are and how difficult it is for them to view this event independently from the way human society is today.

These things are I believe part of the Satanic empire in the universe. They are manifestations of Satanic forces and imperfect imitations of life forms that exist on other planets. As such they crash.

Still the authors should be given credit for standing up for the truth and risking criticism and possible danger from the government spooks.

There's a very sad aspect to all of this.

A guy in Canada said the subject of UFOs was given a higher security classification in America than the hydrogen bomb project. This put the lives of people who knew about it in danger if they refused to cooperate with the government spooks.

The nurse at Roswell who had seen the dead creatures and told people about it disappeared mysteriously. It's sad to think they would kill someone who was serving their country for something that is probably not really that important.

Kenneth Arnold, the person who created the term 'flying saucer', was also apparently in the cross hairs of the government killers at one time although he wasn't murdered for some reason.

Two people who were involved at a higher level, James Forrestal and Dr. James McDonald, were either murdered or driven to commit suicide by the CIA some believe. Forrestal was a member of the Majestic 12 group and McDonald was an outspoken critic of the Air Force's secrecy and lies.

There's an episode of the TV show UFO Files called "Mexico's Roswell" where a flying saucer crashed in Mexico. The first people to arrive on the scene were some Mexican soldiers but a mysterious American team arrived soon after. By the time the Mexican authorities got there all of the Mexican soldiers were dead and their bodies were being burned and the flying saucer had been loaded on a plane ready to be taken away. The Americans were dressed in biological warfare suits and said the Mexicans had been killed by an alien virus. However a much more likely scenario is the Americans murdered the Mexican soldiers so they could take the flying saucer.

This gets into the idea that since the Roswell case special teams have been set up to respond quickly to these types of events and the U.S. is constantly monitoring the skies to detect and capture any more saucers if they crash.

During the Roswell event people came so close to blowing the lid off all of this. Mac Brazel's son had kept a few pieces of the debris and casually saved it in a cigar box. He made the mistake of mentioning this in a bar where the government spooks were hanging out spying on everyone. They paid him a visit and confiscated the material after making him an offer he could not refuse.

There were other cases where if things had just happened a little differently this situation may have turned out differently as far as how much the public found out. If only someone would have just stashed a few pieces of the wreckage somewhere for all of these years.

The Majestic 12 documents include an attachment about what to do if one of these things crashes in a location where it cannot be kept from the public. These documents are another interesting twist on this case and appear to validate the information contained in this book. The world can only hope that whoever provided these documents to the UFO community has more of them such as the various attachments and who knows what else.

The U.S. government is definitely the bad guy and the enemy in this story.
