Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Kevin Randle is known as the foremost expert on the 1947 UFO sighting in Roswell, New Mexico. His thorough encyclopedia offers an A-Z style listing of all-you-ever-wanted-to-know about the Roswell incident. Regardless of whether you come to this encyclopedia as a sceptic or a firm believer in the landing of an alien spacecraft and the subsequent government cover-up, this book presents a host of fascinating information. Randle provides the names of key witnesses, such as Major Edwin Easley (a soldier responsible for security at Roswell Army Air Field) who cryptically concurred with the theory that the crash was caused by visiting extraterrestrials. Other players include J. Bond Johnson, a Fort Worth Star-Telegram photographer who shot six photos of the debris from the crash site.
Roswell aficionados will have no problem finding their desired listings, knowing to look under the letter "I" for "International Roswell Declaration". Newcomers will have to thumb their way through--not a tough assignment considering all the intriguing facts and entries in this enthusiastic Roswell almanac. --Tara West

5.0 out of 5 stars
A great book, 11 Dec 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Roswell Encyclopedia (Paperback)
For anybody interested in Roswell, skeptic or believer, this book is a must have!Not only is the Roswell Encyclopedia informative, but's it's also entertaining. It's always fun to go back and discover new things in the encyclopedia. Overall it's a wonderful source for anyone studying this fascinating topic.
It was written in a more objective style than Randle's previous efforts, he even refutes some past witnesses, but he shows that there are questions still unanswered.
So if you're like me and want to know everything about Roswell, then I highly recommend getting this book. It's Randle's best (and most up to date) work on the subject.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Comprehensive and persuasive, 1 Feb 2001
By Mac Tonnies - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Roswell Encyclopedia (Paperback)
Kevin Randle's "Roswell Encyclopedia" is a comprehensive reference devoted entirely to the alleged UFO crash of 1947. Loaded with biographies, historical notes, book reviews and longer chapters that delve into territory familiar to readers of Randle's other books, the "Encyclopedia" is an admittedly biased effort on the part of Randle; the conclusion one tends to reach after plowing through this tome is that something weird indeed happened outside Roswell Army Air Field in the summer of 1947, and that this weirdness is most easily attributed to a spacecraft crash. The question that naturally arises is whether Randle's bias is grounded in fact or wishful thinking. To Randle's considerable credit, he devotes quite a few pages to Roswell detractors, quoting lengthily from Kent Jeffrey's skeptical "expose" in which he claims to have eliminated the possibility of a UFO crash once and for all. Also available for curious readers are references to most of the competing Roswell literature. All said, this is a practical reference for the curious, while students of the Roswell case are liable to digest it in one or two sittings (I write from experience).

A so so book., 3 July 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Roswell Encyclopedia (Paperback)
I thought this book would be great, since I at a time was heavenly into Roswell, both the tv series and the actual place. But when I recieved this book, it wasn't what I expected. The key word is "Encyclopedia". If your just looking for a book defining everything about roswell, this book is for you. But I thought this book should have been more informative. Maybe its just me, but I seemed to have skipped over "Encyclopedia" or payed less attention to it. Overall, this book is book to have, but I ended up throwing this book away.
