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

by Thomas J. Carey, Donald R. Schmitt

Overview

“When I finished Witness to Roswell, I said to myself, ‘Case closed!’ for the very wealth and sheer weight of eyewitness testimony.”—George Noory, host, Coast to Coast AM
 
One of the best-selling UFO books is now revised and updated with even more hard-hitting eyewitness testimony of one of the most important events of all time: the actual recovery of a UFO outside of Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. For more than 70 years, government authorities have led us to believe the wreckage was merely a very conventional weather balloon—but the witnesses who were there continue to tell a different story.

Witness to Roswell once again takes you on a "can't put down" written account of what really transpired in Roswell decades ago. It pries loose the truth the government doesn't want us to know. This revised and expanded edition includes:

• A growing litany of deathbed confessions describing the "little people" recovered at the crash site.
• The most comprehensive time line of events ever published on this seminal event.
• The identity of the Boeing engineer called in to examine the exotic wreckage from the crash.
• What really took place at the Roswell base hospital and what nurse actually ordered the children’s caskets.
• The story of the soldier who wore gloves at the dinner table after guarding the "bodies."

 
Clearly, the implications are foreboding, and one need just realize that officials now have four explanations to this historic event—but to which one do all the witnesses testify on their deathbeds?

Witness to Roswell once again demonstrates to the world that no statute of limitation applies to the truth: We are not alone.

Editorial Reviews

"Witness to Roswell is a well-researched, well-documented, and well-written account of a very important issue." —Dr. Edgar Mitchell, Capt. USN [Ret.], Apollo astronaut, founder of IONS

"This book is the closest to the truth about the Roswell Incident you will ever stumble upon. What you have been seeking is the true story, the facts, the reality that the government withholds from you. I urge you, by all means...read on!" —Paul Davids, executive producer of Roswell, the Showtime original movie

"This is the finest Roswell book ever...well told and utterly convincing. My deepest congratulations on writing an instant classic." —Jerome Clark, best-selling author and editor of the International UFO Reporter

"There is no one on this planet who knows more about the Roswell Incident than these two guys." —Larry Landsman, director of special projects for the SCI FI Channel and Creative Executive of The Roswell Crash

"The Roswell Incident remains important for UFO research, and the case remains alive today because of the determined efforts of the team of Carey and Schmitt. Witness to Roswell contains much information from new and credible witnesses who add more weight to the existing testimony and evidence that something extraordinary crashed in 1947. Their solid and determined work is to be applauded and is essential reading for anyone interested in the events of July 1947 at Roswell." —Dr. Mark Rodeghier, scientific director, Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies

"I think Witness to Roswell 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, Vol. I and Vol. II and past chairman, Fund for UFO Research
