The Roswell UFO Conspiracy: Exposing A Shocking And Sinister Secret
“Those bodies – the Roswell bodies – they weren’t aliens”
“One survived the crash”
“A very highly classified experiment of the Army or Navy”
“The planned use of propaganda”
In early July 1947, something crashed outside of Roswell, New Mexico. It was not an alien spaceship, as so many believe. Rather, it was one of a handful of definitively military vehicles that were secretl test-flown in various parts of the Land of Enchantment.
All of the flights ended in disaster, and particularly so for the people who were on-board the craft. Coverstories concerning wrecked flying saucers and dead aliens were carefully created. The stories were then spread by those tasked with hiding the dark truth. The far more disturbing picture of what really happened near Roswell was cloaked for years. In fact, for decades. Until now…

I like Redfern's theory regarding the Roswell incident. Fantastic, yet plausible. Makes a lot of sense. I'm not 100% convinced he's right, but I like his out-of-the-box thinking. I highly recommend this book to any UFO enthusiast, or anyone with even a remote interest in the Roswell case.

British researcher Nick Redfern returns to the events outside Roswell in 1947 for his follow-up to his 2005 book Body Snatchers in the Desert. If you've read that book, you'll likely know Redfern's thesis that what happened at Roswell wasn't so much one event but a myriad of crashes in the summer of 1947, and perhaps extending further, involving captured Axis technology and human experimentation. Redfern brings forth new evidence and discoveries made in the dozen years between the publication of that earlier book and this one, including reactions to his book from those within ufology.
As was the case with Bodysnatchers, Redfern presents a compelling but far from convincing alternative explanation for the events in the New Mexico desert. Indeed, he notes Annie Jacobsen's similar theory in her 2011 book Area 51: An Uncensored History of America's Top Secret Military Base, but dismisses her sources as disinformation, without considering the possibility that could likewise be true of him. What is true, as Redfern notes midway through the book, is that Roswell is the "ufological equivalent of Jack the Ripper. Namely, an old mystery, one that was filled with intrigue, but which was lacking in a definitive answer."
Truer words have rarely been written than that.

This truly isn't a bad book. Quite fun if you like conspiracy theory type books, etc., or Roswell and such. Plus Redfern always does well.
I just couldn't do better than 2 stars, though, because so much of the book is a rehash of his earlier "Body Snatchers in the Desert." A majority of this book rehashed the earlier one, and covered the reactions of other Roswell researchers or believers to the publication of the earlier book. Probably only a third or so was new info. So that is why I gave 2 stars instead of 3.

Interesting read .
Well researched and provides the logical possibilities of the event rather than the e.t . Hypothesis. The other theories described in the book are still quite shocking .

Fascinating!
Loved it. Was an easy read. I liked the way it was written. Never knew about the dark side of Roswell.
