Chasing the Roswell Alien
In Chasing Elvis, Melissa Vaughn unraveled the secrets surrounding the death of The King. In Chasing the Roswell Alien, Vaughn uses her reporter's savvy, grit, and determination to blow the lid off the government's coverup of what really happened in Roswell in 1947 - and that's the easy part. What she finds at the core of the coverup is not only that we are not alone in the universe, but that the other guys have an agenda. An agenda that is horrifying. Glenn Marcel is the great-nephew of Major Jesse Marcel. Major Marcel was stationed at Roswell in 1947 and blew the lid off the government's version of what crashed in the desert. His claims started a groundswell of accusations of a massive government coverup.

Chasing the Roswell Alien is stated to be a work of fiction by the author, however he leaves it up to the reader to decide for themselves, whether or not the story is based on truth. For those who are very open minded and believers that their is life on other planets, the story will surely ring with truth, as it did for me.
The first half of the book seemed to be a re-accounting of what happened that fateful evening in Roswell in 1947 when not one, but two ships crashed, containing other life forms, not of this planet. The debris was of something never before seen and many more questions than answers arose. The Government wanted none of this to be known as fact to the public, so did everything in their unlimited power to deny true claims. What they did not count on, however, are some of the witnesses of that night talking - no matter how badly they were threatened to remain silent.
In the second half of Chasing the Roswell Aliens, we are introduced to the story's main character Melissa Vaughn. Melissa is a writer for Weird Magazine and is told by a friend, Hatch, that he has evidence that Amelia Earhart did not die in a plane crash as believed. It is through this that Melissa, a close family friend Ron, and Hatch eventually end up in Roswell., trying to find truth in the crashes.
Throughout the story, there are many fascinating teasers. One main one, and one that I found incredibly interesting is a tattoo/birthmark left upon highly intelligent and well known personalities. This marking was the number 88 found on the body's lower back. Such a marking was found to be on Thomas Jefferson, Amelia Earhart and Thomas Edison. This number was (as far as I can understand) were meant to be brands of a sort, left by alien impregnations. Once such question arose within the book, of whether or not Mary was actually impregnated by one of these unknown life forces, rather than God. This was something that did not sit well with me, but did, to be honest, pique my curiosity.
I found Chasing the Roswell Alien to be fascinating and hard to put down. I have always loved the unknown and the topic of Roswell is right up my alley. I do have to say, in all honesty, that I was disappointed with the ending. In seemed a bit rushed and not at all like I had anticipated. I love a good ending with a twist, but in this case, the twist did not fit well. I still have to recommend this book, however, because it was very well written and anyone who has an interest in Roswell or unknown life beings, will love it. I am looking forward to reading more by this author and even more on the topic of Roswell.
*overall rating 4/5

What really happened in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947? Did aliens crash land? Where alien autopsies undertaken? Was the event the biggest cover up in the history of the United States?
Chasing the Roswell Alien looks at the events surrounding Roswell in an entirely new way. Real accounts of the events are twisted and interwoven into a story with some rather interesting conclusions and featuring some rather surprising characters.
I found myself totally caught up in the story, only stopping to tell my family bits and pieces that always started with the phrase "you won't believe this..". Extremely entertaining, very imaginative, and completely memorable.

An intricately woven mystery which leaves you guessing at every turn. The author has woven facts with fiction to create a realm where the reader is left with more questions than answers.
