The Roswell Legacy

Well, I just now received in the mail an “advance uncorrected proof” (in Word.doc form) copy of a forthcoming book titled The Roswell Legacy: The Untold Story of the First Military Officer at the 1947 Crash Site, written by Jesse Marcel, Jr., and Linda Marcel, and with a foreword from Stan Friedman.

As the publisher tells me: “In his page-turning, thriller of a non-fiction book, Marcel, Jr. explains the government cover-up and the people involved; backs up his father’s knowledge and expertise as an investigator; and portrays other frightening UFO sightings. He ends the book by describing his recent, hair-raising encounter with a high U.S. official who gives the author a glimpse into a Pandora’s Box of covertly funded “black government” activities that include hiding the Roswell Incident.”

The book isn’t actually published until September, so I’m not sure why the publisher has sent me a copy now in Word form. But, hey, I’m not complaining! As soon as time allows, I will digest and review…

    Of course! Now it becomes clear! LOL.

    Has anyone read Karl Pflock’s Roswell? Any opinions about that book?

  4. Mac Tonnies Says:

    I thought “The Roswell Legacy” was published some time ago . . .

    Pflock’s book is far and away the best of the Roswell debunking books. I don’t think it’s the final word, but it’s well-researched and a pleasure to read.

    Mac
    Yeah, it’s kind of confusing. Marcel’s book was published last year as “The Roswell Legacy,” and it’s credited to Jesse Marcel Jr, Ron Kaye, and Connie L. Schmidt.

    However, the new “The Roswell Legacy” is credited to Jesse Marcel Jr and Linda Marcel.

    Plus, the 2007 book discusses Marcel’s 1990 meeting with an official to discuss Roswell, the black budget world, etc.

    But the blurb for the new book talks about a “recent” encounter “with a high US official.”

    So, 1990 can hardly be described as recent, which makes me think the new edition is different or updated in some ways from last year’s book.

    Anyway, I have the original, and will read the new one at some point next week, and see what’s new re this “recent” comment.

    I don’t know how anyone can take Roswell seriously, especially after Karl Pflock’s book. It’s a myth being presented as investigative journalism. The pieces don’t add up
