Description : 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.
