“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 includes: New eyewitness accounts from the late Leonard Stringfield's files about the crash retrieval evidence stored at Wright-Patterson New testimonies from the late Emmy-award-winning TV reporter Carl Day concerning physical evidence of crashed UFOs stored in underground facilities at Wright-Patterson Newly discovered Project Blue Book files from Wright-Patterson including photos and Air Force investigations of UFOs.

Roswell: The Chronological Pictorial By Thomas J. Carey & Donald R. Schmitt This is not just another Roswell book. It's like no other book about the 1947 Roswell UFO crash ever written, including the authors' own previous six books on the subject. Based upon the authors' thirty years' investigation of the most famous UFO case of all time, it "brings the case to life" like no other book, TV documentary, mini-series or movie. With the deft use of copious photographs accumulated over the course of their investigation, the authors supplement the each step of important information in the text of the chronological timeline of the case, from the time of the UFO's crash in the high desert near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947, up to the present (2019). The names of all participants in the crash/recovery as well as the important informational sources are identified along with their photo images. The "missing nurse" identified by Roswell mortician Glenn Dennis as being at the autopsy at the Roswell airbase is finally revealed. Also included are photos of the locations where everything took place – from the 1947 crash site to the present location of the wreckage and bodies. Minute-by-minute, hour-by-hour, day-by-day, month-by-month and year-by-year, the reader is transported back to 1947 and brought forward to the present in the timeline of everything that has happened in and to this case. Bringing the Roswell incident to life in this way, there is no other book written about Roswell like it. Additionally, it should become the companion to every other book about Roswell ever written. See: - The fabled "Hangar 18" - What the Roswell UFO crash site(s) look like today - The only surviving crew member on the alien "body flight" of July 9, 1947 - The "guest house" where rancher Mack Brazel was kept and forced to change his story - The future NFL football star who was a first-hand witness to the 1947 events - The "tool" that an Air Force enforcer used to threaten witnesses into silence - The military ambulances used to transport alien bodies from the crash site - The faces of the aliens from another world What the Generals Said about Roswell: - "It was a cover story, the balloon part of it ... That was the story we were told to give to the public and the news people, and that was it." Brigadier General Thomas J. DuBose, USAF - "The [Roswell] craft was extraterrestrial, and at one time may have been at Wright-Patterson in an off-limits area." Brigadier General Harry N. Cordes, USAF - "I am almost completely convinced that the object that crashed near Roswell was composed of materials not common on earth." Major General Kenner F. Hertford, USA - "The stuff I saw, I've never seen anyplace else in my life ... It was the strangest thing I ever saw." General William H. Blanchard, USAF - "They [the Air Force] knew that they had something new in their hands ... The metal and material was unknown to anyone I talked to ... A couple of guys thought it might be Rus-sian, but the final consensus was that the pieces were from space." [i.e., extraterrestrial] Brigadier General Arthur E. Exon, USAF - "Stealth technology comes from the Roswell crash ... I have been informed by higher officers at the Pentagon that there still exists a Top Secret UFO Project ... That's where your Roswell file is." Brigadier General Richard Mitchell, USA Praise for the Authors: - "Brilliant! A well detailed, concise, A-to-Z, chronological timeline of events that happened over seventy years ago. The authors' in-depth information shows their many years of investigative reporting, bearing the true facts of the Roswell Incident. The reader is drawn into the complex information in the timeline, becoming aware that the chain of events as described, in fact, occurred." - Colonel Scott D. Miller, Jr., USA - "Carey and Schmitt show that good, old-fashioned, investigative reporting is still alive and well." Cheryll Jones, former anchor, CNN News - "There is no one on this planet who knows more about the Roswell Incident than these two guys." Larry Landsman, creative executive of the SyFy Channel documentary, ‘The Roswell Crash: Startling New Evidence.' - "I think that Witness to Roswell [by Carey & Schmitt, 2002, 2009] will prove to be the most important UFO book ever written. The evidence presented dovetails perfectly and makes a compelling case that an alien craft crashed outside of Roswell in 1947. After decades of controversy, the authors, through dedicated and persistent research, have finally come up with very strong circumstantial evidence that is tantamount to proof." - Richard H. Hall, author of ‘The UFO Evidence,' Vols. I and II, and past Chairman of the Fund for UFO Research. - "If the cover-up is ever going to have a stake driven through it and the Roswell case resolved once and for all, it will most likely be Tom Carey and Don Schmitt who will do it." Jeff Rense, nationally syndicated talk show host

IF UFOS DON'T EXIST, THEN THEY CAN'T CRASH. But something did crash near Corona, a tiny town not far from Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. And that crash has been dissected and debated ever since. Aviation/science writer Don Berliner and nuclear physicist Stanton Friedman, the original civilian investigator of the so-called Roswell incident, have delved into the controversy to find the truth. They sifted through once-classified government documents, interviewed military and civilian witnesses, pieced together evidence, considered alternative theories, and concluded that a UFO crashed near Corona-and the U.S. government knew it and covered it up. Crash at Corona proves that what was found in the New Mexico desert wasn't a weather balloon or a secret weapon-it was a UFO. "One of the more credible books arguing the existence of UFOs...Most arresting of all is the testimony of those who handled the debris, who had no opportunity to compare notes, yet have described the materials ...in almost identical language."-Publishers Weekly DON BERLINER has written more than 300 magazine articles and 25 books on aviation history and space and was also a staff writer for the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP). He is board chairman of the non-profit Fund for UFO Research, Inc., and is a delegate to the UFO Research Coalition. STANTON T. FRIEDMAN is a nuclear physicist who has worked for General Electric, General Motors, Westinghouse, and other corporations. He is also the author of TOP SECRET/MAJIC and has appeared on Larry King, Unsolved Mysteries, and Nightline, and was involved with the documentaries UFOs Are Real and Flying Saucers Are Real. He was the final speaker at the fiftieth anniversary conference at the International UFO Museum and Research Center at Roswell, and has given more than 700 lectures on the subject of UFOs.

"For more than 70 years, the crash at Roswell and its ensuing controversies and cover-ups have been investigated; yet despite continually mounting evidence, there are still disbelievers. This book is the final and commanding word on the case. The government has changed their official story on Roswell more than a dozen times, but the witnesses have not recanted. The evidence has not gone away. And won't go away. The Roswell Incident is the most hotly debated and investigated UFO crash in history and has had a seemingly never-ending amount of evidence, eyewitnesses coming forward even years later. Finally, late in life, people feel safe enough or duty bound to reveal what they know, saw, and heard"--

This "compellingly hard-hitting" bestseller from a Pulitzer Prize finalist gives readers the complete untold story of the top-secret military base for the first time (New York Times). It is the most famous military installation in the world. And it doesn't exist. Located a mere seventy-five miles outside of Las Vegas in Nevada's desert, the base has never been acknowledged by the U.S. government — but Area 51 has captivated imaginations for decades. Myths and hypotheses about Area 51 have long abounded, thanks to the intense secrecy enveloping it. Some claim it is home to aliens, underground tunnel systems, and nuclear facilities. Others believe that the lunar landing itself was filmed there. The prevalence of these rumors stems from the fact that no credible insider has ever divulged the truth about his time inside the base. Until now. Annie Jacobsen had exclusive access to nineteen men who served the base proudly and secretly for decades and are now aged 75-92, and unprecedented access to fifty-five additional military and intelligence personnel, scientists, pilots, and engineers linked to the secret base, thirty-two of whom lived and worked there for extended periods. In Area 51, Jacobsen shows us what has really gone on in the Nevada desert, from testing nuclear weapons to building super-secret, supersonic jets to pursuing the War on Terror. This is the first book based on interviews with eye witnesses to Area 51 history, which makes it the seminal work on the subject. Filled with formerly classified information that has never been accurately decoded for the public, Area 51 weaves the mysterious activities of the top-secret base into a gripping narrative, showing that facts are often more fantastic than fiction, especially when the distinction is almost impossible to make.
