UFO Secrets Inside Wright-Patterson: Eyewitness Accounts from the Real Area 51

by Thomas J. Carey, Donald R. Schmitt, Stanton T. Friedman (Foreword)

“Carey and Schmitt show that good, old-fashioned investigative reporting is still alive and well.” —Cheryll Jones, former anchor, CNN News The true nature of what actually crashed in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947 remains classified. Only a select few have ever had access to the truth about what became known as Area 51. But what happened to the remnants of that crash is shrouded in even greater mystery. What began in the high desert of New Mexico ended at Wright-Patterson, an ultra-top-secret Air Force base in Dayton, Ohio. The physical evidence of extraterrestrial visitation was buried deep within this nuclear stronghold. How tragic that such seismic news should be kept from the people of the world . . . pieces of history, now quickly dwindling into oblivion as the last of the secret-keepers passes on. In addition to its rich history of military service to our nation, Wright-Patterson also stands as the secret tomb of one of the greatest occurrences in recorded history. Be prepared . . . the real Area 51—Wright-Patterson‘s vault—is about to be opened. UFO Secrets Inside Wright-Patterson is a thoroughly researched work that

This volume is primarily a re-hash of other books by these authors.

The writing style attempts to create a sensation. Paragraphs end with a one word question: "Coincidence?"

There are oodles of extraneous detail, with the view, I imagine, that piles of material will lull the reader into believing they have been served a real meal. I did not get far, just skimmed. Might be of interest to someone who knows nothing about the topic, and wants to wade through a swamp of inference and speculation.

Lots of detailed sources - compelling story.

Alot of details that added to the story. Compelling story well sourced. Covers all angles and has numerous supporting sources that make what is revealed even more believable

Interesting and fun read!

[Ivanhoe Chaput · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is one of the best written and most informative books on "meat and potatoes" of ufology so far in my collection on the subject.

A very interesting book that makes me ask more even questions about WPAFB.

1n 1947, in Roswell new Mexico, there was a crash of some kind of aircraft in a Farmer's field outside of town. The first people on the scene alerted local law enforcement, and later the crash was reported to the closest military base. This was just after World War II when we were still basking in the glow of our Victory in Europe and the Pacific so our trust in the Military was very high. The events of the next few years would start to change all that.

This book by Thomas J. Carey and Donald R. Schmitt is unique, because unlike the "Believe it or Not" type journalism and Tabloid SCi-Fi headlines that were popular then, this is a highly researched and documented account of the event that happened before, directly after, and continues into the present day. It documents, with Military documentation, archival documentation, and eyewitness testimony how the government took a unique experience and turned it into the biggest and possibly most important cover-up of all time. These witnesses are people who were residents of Roswell who were bullied and threatened by the Military after the incident happened, by people who were working on these bases at the time, and by high level military personnel who kept the secrets and gave what amounts to deathbed accounts of what happened to the craft, the debris, and the bodies that were recovered in 1947. It is a fascinating account of these events and shows how this continues even to this day. Seeing that our tax dollars are what funds these bases. doesn't the population have a right to know the truth? Why would they not tell us what is going on? Don't you think trained military personnel are smart enough to tell the difference between a flexible metal and a weather balloon? I would certainly hope so.

This is a great read. Two thumbs up! P. S. I am not a conspiracy theorist, but anybody with an open mind can decide for themselves.

There are a lot of second, third, and I'm pretty sure forth hand accounts in this book. And yes, I understand a lot of people from this time are dead. Beside that, one of the people that's discussed a lot died of a brain tumor. I'm not saying that affected what he believed, but I am saying that it could have. Another main person discussed took all of his sources to his grave or left them to his family or whatever. That's a bit sketch. Many assumptions are made by the writers. I couldn't count the number of "coincidences?" they pointed out when it was convenient. There's no real proof in this book. It's a bunch of theories.

There's something I believe about people and it's that most people can't keep this kind of secret, even under threat of death. I know I couldn't and wouldn't. If these things truly happened, you would have firsthand accounts. Why are there no reports of downed crafts now when they can more easily be photographed and recorded? Are they all gone? Do they no longer crash?

All that being said, I give it a second star for entertainment value and for all the hard work that went into the book's creation. Even though I don't believe, I hope it's all real and one day there will be proof.

Carey and Schmitt know how to milk every drop out of the UFO cash cow, whether it is rehashing old material and making it seem 'fresh', they know the stupid, loyal, want-to-believers like me out there will buy up most everything on offer, but this is just criminal really. They are releasing book after book of the same stuff, and there is nothing stopping them. One would have think they stooped their lowest with the "BeWitness" fiasco - whereby they claimed a child mummy was an alien, and took people's money for the show but never returned a cent after the 'alien' was proven rather not to be. But before even 2 seconds had passed they were out putting out rubbish like this in order to simply beat that cow once again and line their pockets, it's actually perverse how they are milking the Roswell incident to death in front of everybody without a smidgeon of shame nor care in the world, and as long as nobody is stopping them, watch them roll out more rubbish in the future.

This book was pretty captivating. Growing up around Wright-Patt and in a house under a parent that worked as a civilian there whose go-to phrase whenever asked about the aliens was, "If I told you, I'd have to kill you" it was really interesting to read about all of the research projects and outside speculation.

At times the book did seem to get a little repetitive, stating the same details multiple times, and it did stray from the titular topic occasionally. There were also a couple of derailing typos that caused me to pause and suss out what dates were actually meant. But overall none of those really took away from the enjoyment.

I've always been a closeted true believer, but I might as well count myself as all out embracing it now.

[Efthymis Takos · Rating 1 out of 5]

A waste of time.
I started this book to find out more about the base itself; how it came to be one of the most important and secret ones, who made it that way, how they made sure everything inside stays hidden. Some historical background too, you know? In other words I thought I’d read something similar to “Area 51” by Annie Jacobsen. It turns out this book here is just a rehash of other well-known stories. I didn’t get it to learn about Project Blue Book, guys. I wanted to find out more about the base, and the stories about alien bodies in it.
I can’t recommend this book, sorry.

Provocative

As a current resident on base (area A) be cause wife is an AD Squadron Commander and I am retired AF, I found the book especially interesting because I could literally walk to the buildings and streets of Area B as identified in book. Enough evidence for me to conclude AF covering up on huge scale which need not be covered up.Secrets from the public eventually turn out bad

[Annika M Baldwin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fascinating. The amount of testimony and research is impressive. I appreciate the call to skepticism, as I am, still, skeptical. But, really, as written...why threaten and make a big deal about something that they say "doesn't exist"? If it doesn't exist, why do "they" keep threatening witnesses? Something to think about. Hmm.

Truly An Eye Opener !!

Living in Ohio all my life and hearing all the stories related to WPADB,
many of the lights went off in my head. All of the respected players
in the field are in here and although many questions are answered, there
are many new ones that are brought up.

[Corey Bourne · Rating 4 out of 5]

Interesting read

Lots of new things to ponder at what's going on at Wright Pat or what went on. A fine addition for anyone looking delve deeper into the UFO mystery.

Very well-researched and a fascinating read.

[Joe Macko · Rating 5 out of 5]

I would give this book 10 stars if I could. It is one, if not THE most in-depth study and documented book on the subject of the Roswell crash and UFO attempted cover up I have ever read.

[Matthew Reynolds · Rating 3 out of 5]

I found it interesting but after awhile it felt repetitive.

[Caren Eri]

I read this because I’m from that area in Ohio; however, it was literally statements. No facts and just hearsay.

“Be prepared. The UFO vault is about to be opened …”

Did a UFO really crash at Roswell with aliens on board in 1947? Maybe and maybe not is the best answer anyone can come up with without access to all the government files. The authors of UFO Secrets Inside Wright-Patterson believe that the government is not to be trusted to tell the whole truth. So they went digging and found files and people who shared their personal experiences with them. Some people were willing to talk on the record about what they saw and heard about the Roswell crash remnants being send to Wright-Patterson AFB in Ohio.

Growing up as an Air Force brat, you hear all the rumors about UFOs. I do not really lean one way or the other on the topic, but I don’t rule anything out. Several years ago, we were in New Mexico for a few months, so we visited Roswell and the museum they have there. It was fascinating. My husband stumbled upon this book and since we live in Ohio, we both wanted to see what it said about Wright-Patterson.

UFO Secrets Inside Wright-Patterson contains some very interesting stories and has a lot of evidence in it that supports the idea that there was a UFO crash at Roswell and that most of the UFO secrets are held at Wright-Patterson. However, the book is slightly dry reading and repetitious at parts. They do talk about three separate UFO crashes, UFO sightings above Air Force bases, military pilots seeing UFOs and metal that can go back to its original shape after being scrunched up.

Readers who either live near Roswell or Wright-Patterson or who have an interest in UFOs and aliens will want to read UFO Secrets Inside Wright-Patterson. The authors have spent decades tracking down information and people and share about all they know in this book.
