Award-winning author Candace Fleming sets her gaze on the mystery at
Roswell, New Mexico, and the "crash from outer space" that set the
United States on edge for decades.
In 1947, during the early years of the Cold War, a field in Roswell, New
Mexico was disturbed by a strange crash and smattering of debris. Some
say the bodies of extraterrestrial beings were strewn across the ground,
that a UFO had crashed there, and that the government was covering up
the evidence in a massive conspiracy.
But what really happened at Roswell?
The infamous "crash from outer space" has become a fixture in our
culture, inspiring a surge of UFO sightings and conspiracy theories. But
at its heart is the story of military scientists, a city on the brink of
the Cold War, and a debris field scattered with mystery. What was it
that actually crashed at Roswell? Were alien bodies found? Was it
Russian spies? Secret military technology? And did the government try to
hide what they found?
An electrifying exploration of one of the most thrilling mysteries in
recent history, by Sibert Award winning author Candace Fleming.
