Editorial Reviews

Product Description

On August 25, 1974, along the Rio Grande River near the Texas border town of Presidio, a thunderous explosion in the sky shattered the stillness of the warm summer night. An unidentified flying disc traveling at 2,000 miles per hour collided with a small airplane heading south from El Paso, Texas. The flaming wreckage of both aircraft fell to the Mexican desert below, igniting a desperate race by two governments to recover technology from beyond the stars. This book was the basis for episodes of the History Channel's "UFO Files" and "UFO Hunters" television series.

This review is from: Mexico's Roswell: The Chihuahua Ufo Crash (Paperback)

The theme of this book is US retrieval of a UFO disk that crashed in northern Mexico as a result of colliding at night with a small aircraft that originated in El Paso and crossed into Mexico. A questionable claim is that Mexico was aware of this accident from radar (location unspecified) and that the next day they dispatched 24 soldiers out of Ojinaga, Mexico with jeeps and two flatbed trucks to retrieve the wreckage. They found the aircraft totally destroyed but the UFO was intact except for a dent and a hole. The hole was critical because that may have been the source of some chemical or biological agent that took the lives of all 24 soldiers.

The US was also aware of this collision from radar and was monitoring the Mexican retrieval efforts. They determined from satellite and aerial photographs that the Mexican's died during the retreival. So the USA then put together their own recovery team in El Paso in two short hours! Even in that short time they were able to able to assemble an expedition with full bio, radiation, and chemical protective gear including a suitcase nuke and a containment bag left over from Project Apollo to enclose the UFO disk so it could be safely extracted from Mexico slung under one of their helicopters. Completely unbelievable!

The authors even manage to exceed that absurdity by claiming that the US team left the suitcase nuke behind set to detonate by timer in order to eliminate the bio or chemical hazard that had wiped out the Mexican soldiers. What happened to all those dead soldiers? Simple; they were vaporized by the nuke event along with the vehicles they drove up in. Radiation fallout from such an event was apparently deemed preferable to some unknown bio or chemical hazard. I guess this amazing nuke vaporized the troops and their vehicles but did not leave behind a big hole in the ground, or mushroom cloud, or measureable radiation. Don't know for sure if the authors address those issues later in the book because, unable to digest absurdity stacked upon absurdity, I had to stop reading. There were also numerous minor mistakes and inconsistencies, omitted in this review because they pale in comparison to more ridiculous claims. This story would be unconvincing even as a novel, let alone as a documentary.

This review is from: Mexico's Roswell: The Chihuahua Ufo Crash (Paperback)

Mexico's Roswell is perhaps one of the better individual case studies published of late.

Authors Ruben Uriarte and Noe Torres are to be commended for their research into what was a fairly obscure report of a collision between an unknown object and a small aircraft over Coyame, Mexico.

While not the best known of case reports, Uriarte and Torres have definitely done their homework, interviewing both witnesses and residents of Coyame in order to piece together the sequence of events surrounding the Coyame crash.

A definite must-read for students of Ufology.

This review is from: Mexico's Roswell: The Chihuahua Ufo Crash (Paperback)

The book is well researched and the material is well presented, and brings to light a little known UFO crash, in which the recovery team were mysteriously killed.
