About this title

Synopsis

A behind-the-scenes memoir recounting one officer's firsthand experience of America's most famous UFO incident.

Does extraterrestrial life exist? Have alien beings actually visited Earth and left clear traces of their visits? One man has the answer...and his son can now break the silence.

The Roswell Legacy is the story of Major Jesse Marcel, the intelligence officer for the 509th Bomber Group―famous for dropping the atomic bomb on Japan―and the first military officer to reach the scene of one of the most famous and enduring UFO events in the recorded history of mankind. This book documents the recovery of debris from the crash of an extraterrestrial craft and how the Marcel family became forever linked to the event. It details what the debris looked like, how it greatly differed from that of the "weather balloon" that was supposedly recovered, and the physical characteristics that prove it could have come only from a technology that was not available in the 1940s―or, perhaps, even now.

About the Author

He served in the U.S. Navy from 1962 to 1971 and in the Montana Army National Guard from 1975 to 1996. He currently works as a doctor at the VA Hospital in Ft. Harrison, Montana.

Linda Marcel is a retired nurse, the mother of two of Jesse's children and the stepmother of one, the grandmother of 10 children, and a breast-cancer survivor.

Stanton T. Friedman is a nuclear physicist who worked on a wide variety of advanced, classified nuclear systems for major industrial companies. He began the civilian investigation of the Roswell Incident; wrote Flying Saucers and Science and TOP SECRET/MAJIC; and coauthored Crash at Corona, Captured!
