Product Description
Product Description
As this stunning expose makes clear there was in fact no UFO crash with dead aliens at Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. Nor was there a fallen balloon, as the government's recent cover-up would have us believe. In BODY SNATCHERS IN THE DESERT, Nick Redfern reveals what really happened on that fateful day over fifty years ago - and it's a story more bizzare than anyone could imagine. Redfern takes readers on an amazing journey from the American Southwest to secret installations in Japan, from the Los Alamos laboratories to the Pentagon itself, all to piece together an astonishing story; in the post-war years scientists endeavoured to build a nuclear powered aircraft and the effects of its radioactive cargo by flying it - with human passengers. Its crash in 1947 led to the mishaps and cover-ups hat gave birth to the Roswell legend. As the author builds his case, he offers no shortage of revelations, including diabolical experiments undertaken on deformed humans by both Japanese and American scientists during the 1940s; documents relating to experimental test flights in New Mexico; and the ambitious disinformation campaigns designed to hide the sinister truth.

Nick Redfern describes, through his meetings with witnesses and others involved with the Roswell mystery, a quite plausable answer after all these years.
The story has been out there in a more simplistic form already, apparently, but it's new to me and, although shocking, is believable and answers many of the questions still hanging around the subject. We discover that men from Mars are not needed and still we get all bases covered if everything in here is true. Fascinating, if just for the new approach to a subject that has seen many books written about it yet often those books leave just as many questions unanswered as they claim to answer.
Is it the final word on Roswell? I wouldn't imagine for a minute it is but, at last, we get a book that's believable if surprising.

It was so badly written, I didn't bother finishing it. Really disappointing compared to his other stuff.

This book claims to finally solve the Roswell incident in the context of experimental technology developed in the Cold War, specifically as tested on unfortunate ( unwilling ) disabled and chronically sick individuals used for radiation and high altitude tests on the White Sands Missile Range during the period immediately before the conclusion of the Nuremburg war trials.
The book is clearly written and ( compared to other tomes on this topic )not overly conspiratorial in its style ( despite the fact that it does of course constitute a proposal of conspiracy ) - the author manages to bring the reader along clearly argued and usually ( apparently )corroborated lines of thought to the end conclusion.
I would have hoped for some greater photographic content, partiularly of the ( elsewhere ) well-illustrated Project Mogul aspects of the story, since this would have served to contextualise ( for the uninitiated ) the whole thesis.
Also welcome would have been some more developed reference to the Horten /Northrop Flying Wing issue ( in particular with reference to the Kenneth Arnold sighting since I suggest the visual and aeronautical significance of this sighting has too often been ignored ) as well as the subsequent interest by Avro Canada and others (such as Convair and Northrop) in prototypical stealth / VTOL / STOL /unconventional flying wing platforms which would have given greater weight to the central thesis. Perhaps the author felt that this is dealt with elsewhere but it is still in my opinion an omission regarding the bigger picture.
Of course the reliance on ' deep throat' testimony is there as a cornerstone (unconfirmed, in other words)but this does not detract from the plausibility of the content.
Very Interesting, clearly written and at least plausible as a speculative explanation - but the ET 'faithful' won't warm to it, especially the authors of books which put forward more 'usual' ( ie. extraordinary and extraterrestrial) explanations........
Recommended as an engaging read.
