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.


About the Author

Nicholas Redfern writes regularly for numerous UFO publications. He is the author of A COVERT AGENDA and THE FBI FILES, also available in Pocket Books. He has contributed crucial material to Timothy Good's books ALIEN LIAISON and BEYOND TOP SECRET.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank you Nick Redfern!, 7 Aug 2005
By Stuart Miller (Manchester UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In "Body Snatchers", Nick almost certainly offers the definitive explanation about what happened at Roswell. It may not be what you want to hear because I will tell you right now; it doesn't involve aliens, but as you read what he says, if your reaction is the same as mine was, then you will find yourself reluctantly coming to the conclusion that he has probably cracked it. As you read it, there is a "dreaded" sense of feeling that it all just seems to make a horrible sense.

There is a lot to take in and it will be difficult to absorb in one hit but as you do, you will be struck with a further wave of shock as you then consider the implications of what he has to say. They are very, very profound for this subject that we love.

For others there will be a sense of relief that, as they see it, this albatross is finally removed from around their necks and Ufology can get on with its "life" unfettered by the distraction of this incident.

I would like to congratulate Nick on what I consider to be a truly excellent piece of research. My feeling is that this may well come to be regarded as his seminal work.

The essential point of Nick's case is not new, although it actually may be new to you. The theory first surfaced with author John Keel about fifteen years ago although he was off base quite a bit, but in the mid 90s "Popular Mechanics" got very close indeed. Not quite there, but nearly. It is an interesting exercise to go back and read their piece again. They obviously had contacts.

And others have been there too. It's been looked at, tossed around, laughed at, dismissed, and generally considered very unlikely. It will be a little harder to discard this time though. Nick presents new witness testimony and documentation and the way he pulls it all together is impressive. What is also interesting is the manner in which the story came to him. From two different separate strands, separated by five years.

So the truth has been out there, of sorts, for a while. They have told us. They just didn't tell us they were telling us.

There is bound to be controversy caused by Nick's conclusions and perhaps even mocking, and it would be naïve to expect otherwise. A lot of people are going to be disturbed by this. A lot of people have given their ufological professional lives to pursuing a particular aspect of Roswell or a particular case and all will be deeply affected and that should not be under estimated. The controversy will be welcomed. There are bound to be rough edges to Nick's story here and there and possible occasional inaccuracies but it is unlikely they will undermine the core of his account. But Nick would welcome the interest and input of other researchers, without question. He hopes that people will go out and check up on what he has written for them selves, and possibly even take the story further. His narrative also opens up many other potential avenues of research.

If people accept what he has written and fully comprehend the consequences, then the affects will take time to filter through. The details, although a lot, you will take on board. It's the digestion process afterwards where the pain might come.

Most of you though will be disappointed, but, we cannot hide from the truth. Nick has, quite frankly, done us an enormous favour and I consider this to be, unquestionably, the most important book in relation to Ufology for a very, very long time. Possibly ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Plausible and Down to Earth, 24 May 2007
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars An entertaining, revealing and original tale., 29 Oct 2007
By The Boogie Man (Porthleven, Cornwall) - See all my reviews
Mr Redfern as the books title states, does reveal some horrible truths at the heart of ufology. Fistly there is the question of "Nazi Ufos". Mr Redfern seems utterly convinced that the Ufo phenomonon originates wth advanced German aircraft during the Second World War. Surely this gives the Nazis too much credit and ignores witness testimony before this period. Mr Redfern relies in his investigations almost entirely on documentation rather than on the first hand account of witnesses. He ignores the truly bizarre and exotic nature of these vehicles. Anyone with direct experience of the various phenomena knows that these "aircraft" cannot be solely the product of human engineering, and to try and reduce the data to one simple explanation is rather naive. No-one is trying to deny that some sightings are of advanced military aircraft.

There is so much disinformation surrounding the Roswell incident, and doubtless some falsified documents, that to approach the truth is almost impossible; the only thing that can be said with certainty is that the truth has been effectively suppressed.

The second horrible truth that Nick Redfern reveals is his confusion regarding the differences between Japanese people and the "alien bodies" which some claim were discovered amongst the Roswell wreckage. Surely after five years of fighting the Japanese, any witness would know the difference between a physically handicapped Japanese person and an extra- terrestrial. His research on the psy- ops aspects of the Ufo phenomena are extremely interesting and there is no doubt that governments have manipulated the data and made people shut up and doubt there own sanity, but can aliens really be substituted for the Japanese? And will they be required to register as such?
