"possibly the most important event in history" (p167),
By The Boogie Man (Porthleven, Cornwall) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crash at Corona: US Military Retrieval and Cover-up of a UFO (Paperback)
The authors of this book, Stanton T Friedman and Don Berliner, are both scientific and logical; they also score highly credibility -wise. Friedman worked on the US. nuclear rocket programme and Berliner for the Air Force, they each had top secret clearance and handled materials cassified top secret and higher. For these reasons alone, what they say must be of significance.
If the Roswell mythos is fictional, then it is certainly byzantine and abstruse. The only thing that can be stated with certainty is that "something" crashed near Roswell (at Corona) during the first week of July 1947. Berliner, who actually penned the book, refers to the culture of secrecy in New Mexico, where many of the Air Force's most secret projects were developed, including, at Los Alamos, the H bomb. The success of the US. military in winning WW2 meant that in 1947 the nation was gung ho, both proud and secretive regarding it's military. Berliner refers to the region's inhabitants as "consciously patriotic", and this naturally impedes the flow of information regarding Roswell. William (Mac) Brazel on whose sheep farm the debris fell, was taken by what was then the Army Air Force, into custody after he patriotically brought some of the wreckage to the local sheriff. He was kept at Roswell airbase an entire week for interrogation; subsequently he went along with the weather balloon story. My problem with the case is the nature of the debris that was found. It was described by William Brazel jr. as being "like foil" and "like balsa wood", surely an interplanetery craft cannot be built from such materials? On the other hand, what was it that required this extraordinary degree of secrecy and suppression by Army Air Force personnel? Gerald Anderson, the only person who has come forward to say that he saw a crashed disc, this time at the Plains of San Augustin, has since withdrawn his testimony. The weightiest factor in the search for proof of the Ufo hypothesis, is the very secrecy and neuroticism of the armed forces concerning the events; some of the alleged witnesses who are still alive will not come forward even now. As I began to read this book I could not help thinking of Nick Redfern's "Body Snatchers in the Desert", but I concluded that the amount of hysteria following the crash and the extremely thorough cover- up would not have been warranted by a mere balloon test.

A book very well researched.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Crash at Corona: the Us Military Retrieval and Cover-up of a UFO (Paperback)
Crash at Corona is a finely researched book about the UFO crash near Roswell, New Mexico in July of 1947. Don Berliner does a superb job of explaining the goings on at Roswell during the incident as well as the impact it had on the government's attitude about withholding information about the existance of exterrestrial craft visiting our planet. The startling element about this book that sets it apart from other UFO books about this subject is that the statements within are backed up by reasoning and research by Stanton Friedman. Mr.Friedman's tireless campaign of searching many archieves and the interviewing of eye witnesses adds greatly to this endeavor. Mr.Friedman believes in "research by investigation rather than proclamation". Here is an individual that has personally interviewed most of the witnesses involved in the incident that is willing to talk and still alive. I highly recommend this book and strongly urge those interested in UFO's and government conspiracies to purchase and read it.

Fantastic in-depth examination of the Roswell ufo crash,
By A Customer
This review is from: Crash at Corona: the Us Military Retrieval and Cover-up of a UFO (Paperback)
This book offers all UFO buffs a rare insight into the world of true investigative research. Stanton gives 100% proof of a crash at Roswell and the subsequent military cover up. His reports and evidence from the people that were actually there in 1947 are both fascinating and outstanding. If you intend on reading one book on Roswell, then make it this one, you will not be disapointed. The overwheliming evidence given here along with eye witness testimonies and real documents secured through the US Freedom if Information Act will convince you of the major cover up that followed the crash. A book that once started you will find difficult to put down.
