Witness to Roswell: Unmasking the Government's Biggest Cover-Up

Relying 100% on eyewitness and secondary witness testimony this book weaves together a picture of what the authors believed happened at Roswell back in 47'. If you don't believe the ET craft / alien body hypothesis then the first question that you have to answer about half way through the book is simply this, "Why in the world would these people - quite a number on their deathbeds - make this stuff up?" Fame and fortune? I don't see fortunes being raked in by these supposed witnesses and if fame is having your name written up in book that just might get you weird looks at the church bingo game....well, then I guess it's worth it. Unless of course, the answer is all these people have somehow collaborated together for this story or borrowed from each other's accounts. In other words, they are all bold-faced liars. The fact that 600+ people would randomly do such a thing I believe is a bigger focus of concern than if an actual alien craft did crash near Corona. All the supposed fabrications just don't make sense. And if it does make sense where else in history do we have an example of such a lie that has the same positive benefits for those that perpetrate it? I couldn't think of any. The authors also mention a number of people who refuse to talk at all about their involvement with Roswell. If these tight-lipped folks are represented accurately by the authors - then one gets the distinct impression that they aren't talking because they are afraid of being associated with the wing nuts who believe in the ET hypothesis - it is because they fear reprisal by the Powers That Be or they feel a duty to keep the secret they were told to shut up about half a century ago. Those that do talk seem to verify this is the reason the others aren't talking. The author's ask the appropriate question repeatedly, "Why would these reluctant participants not want to talk about a weather balloon?" And if it was something top secret other than a weather balloon - it certainly doesn't answer why, according to the witnesses - everyone was scratching their heads trying to figure out what the debris was. Those of us who have read and thought about what happened at Roswell grow tired of the argument that something extraordinary such as a UFO crash didn't happen because we don't have any physical evidence, pictures, or something else that would hold up in the court of law to prove it. It's ludicrous to suggest that if it was determined that an event of this magnitude would be far too earth-shattering to reveal - particularly on the heals of world war - that a secret of that nature couldn't be kept and evidence erased or locked up. Of course it could. Extraordinary events demand extraordinary measures and if vacuuming a desert floor isn't just that - I don't know what is. The author's outline events in a way that certainly makes one believe this was the Event of the Millennium - and those who were in charge knew it. I only have a few complaints abou

I found this to be a fascinating read. I thought I knew all about Roswell, but discovered that I knew very little. Since I saw a UFO myself in 1980, I had no question of their existence. The authors went to great pains to get at original sources. But what struck me was the intimidation of witnesses. Death threats abounded, as reported. Is this a proxy for subsequent tyrannical government behavior? Very scary, indeed.

Witness to Roswell is perhaps the best book yet on the market regarding the Roswell incident of 1947. Although there is no physical proof of an extraterrestrial presence at the heart of the Roswell "myth" (as many call it) presented in this monumental collection of Roswell testimony, the overzealous debunkers of the trade may see this book as more of the same. "Speculative conjecture promoted by profit seeking conspirators based on questionable extrapolations of shady exaggerated untrustworthy testimony by first, second, and third hand witnesses whom are likely to have their own profit or attention seeking agenda." You know who you are. That statement is an advanced acknowledgment for trashy disparaging reviews bemoaning the lack of physical "proof" to fuel the "myth" of Roswell that are bound to happen as with any book regarding the UFO phenomenon for that matter. If you, the reader, often take this approach towards the subject of UFOs, or more specifically the Roswell incident, that's okay. I'm sure whether you accept the testimony or not, it will be an entertaining read nonetheless. Deem it science fiction if you wish. Ignorance is bliss. Carey and Schmitt effectively highlight some of the most sensational testimony from the most credible of sources regarding the Roswell event of 1947. As the book moves along, previously discussed eyewitness testimony is further corroborated and substantiated as source material is cross referenced by various independent high quality sources to bring further credibility to the proposed hypothesis (or conclusion) that a UFO crashed in Roswell in 1947, not a weather balloon. Nearly all the main contributors to the Roswell recovery, analysis and cover-up are analysed to reveal a striking similarity: nearly all the "big names" attributed to Roswell at one time or another acknowledged that the Roswell object was not of this Earth, either by confiding in family members, close friends, or more commonly, first hand. In similar fashion, Carey and Schmitt briefly provide reasonable objections to some of the more famous (or infamous) Roswell whistle blowers whose testimony contradicted that of the majority and thus were effectively ruled out of the Roswell equation. Of course, not all of the witness sightings of unusual events during the Roswell conspiracy are provided in the book. After all, as Carey and Schmitt noted, the Roswell witness total is now over 600! Most interesting of all is the fact that not one single witness yet interviewed has recalled seeing anything even remotely resembling a weather balloon or project mogul that fateful day, not one! (This of course excludes CIC Captain Sheridan Cavitt, whose testimony was reviewed at length several times and rightfully excluded from the realm of the credible for obvious reasons.) Carey and Schmitt turn the tables on the government in a most essential way. The government exercised a long list of civil rights violations that day and ever after in attempt to keep

Recently, two mile wide UFOs were sighted over the English Channel by a reputable, seasoned pilot, his copilot and several of their passengers. News of this potentially earth-shaking event was relegated to mili-second sound bytes on the majority of American news networks: and usually accompanied with a snide, derisive, condescending tone as if the pilot and passengers were Loony Tunes. Yet the same news stations endlessly - and I mean ENDLESSLY! - watch and comment upon the misadventures of a non-entity named Paris Hilton as if her every move were potentially life-altering and of vital importance to America's need to know! This is the sad state of affairs in America: focus on the idiotic while the truly important rides the back of the bus, if it rides at all. What is more important? Paris' jailhouse converson - or a mile wide UFOs spotted over the English Channel...or the Phoenix Lights...or, yes, Roswell? To everyone who has their head buried (by choice or force)in the sand of popular, pointless bilge...please read this book! To anyone with an interest in Truth - read this book. It is gripping, enthralling and if even 1/100th of it is true - then the political and philosophical ramifications of it to we Americans (and all citizens of the World!) are immense beyond all comprehension. Yes....it is easy to follow the mindlessly flashy exploits of celebrity screw-ups. It numbs the collective brain of the country - eases it into acceptance of the trivial. But America needs wake-up calls and this book is one of them!!! Read this book and realize that our government is a magic act and that behind its smokescreens there are serious, cosmic, incredible goings-on that we - the paying audience - never really are privy to. Only through the researches of determined men such as Carey and Schmitt do we begin to see peeks behind the Wizard's curtain. Turn off the life-wasting news about Paris and all the rest of her ilk - and wake up to the reality of Roswell!!! This book should be in every classroom in America. The mind is a terrible thing to waste: reading this account will help keep us from burying our heads in the sand. It will literally help make us look UP to the inspirational, awe-inspiring sky above us with renewed wonder and question, instead of DOWN to the dreary, mundane, litter-strewn landscape of popular culture we are media-hypnotized to wade through

This is perhaps the most comprehensive, well informed and intelligent work that I have read on the Roswell incident to date. This book is essential for anyone who is interested in delving into one of the biggest mysteries of the modern era: The government's cover-up of an alien aircraft crash landing in 1947. If you are interested in uncovering the truth behind the flimsy and ridiculous stories that the U.S. Air Force has been selling to the public for the past 60 years, then this book is the perfect place to start. Likewise, if you are not necessarily interested in the UFO phenomenon, then this book still provides an excellent story of government deceit, mystery and intrigue, be careful though, you may find yourself opening a Pandora's box to a realm of truth that may scare you. Whether you choose to take the red pill or the blue pill, this book is an excellent buy.
