Roswell, New Mexico - Home of the UFO Crash Site of 1947

Whether you believe it or not, something happened in July, 1947 in the desolate sands of eastern New Mexico. Did a UFO crash land here, as many believers will tell you, or was it merely as downed government weather balloon, or part of Project Mogul, as skeptics will often tell you? The Roswell UFO crash is arguably the most famous of all UFO incidents, but has the least evidence of many. What do you think? Take part in the debate below and tell us your side of things.

Need to Know: UFOs, the Military, and Intelligence

Factual accounts and research on actual UFO cases

Roswell is probably the most well known of all UFO and flying saucer stories, but is one of the least credible. There are other cases that are far more credible, with more evidence, hard facts, and testimonies behind them that have not received the media attention. This book, NEED TO KNOW, goes over some of those cases in great detail.

What's included in this book? One reviewer (Edward F. Mazur) describes the accounts of the "intercepts of Werner von Braun's V2 rocket tests by UFOs and later, of other missile test launches, the in depth reports on the Washington D.C UFO overflights in 1952, the Northeastern blackout of November 9, 1965 and a month later, the crash of the Kecksberg object in Pennsylvania, disappearances of Air Force planes and pilots, and the incapacitation of an entire missile complex in Montana." If that isn't enough to get you interested in this book, then nothing will!

"The Roswell case is the most important UFO case of all time because it is from here that all decisions were made. It was the first of the cover-ups, the first attempt at mis-direction, and one of the most important events in human history. It is where creatures from another world were first seen by creatures from Earth. That we still argue about the reality of this case today is simply unbelievable."
