Jesse Marcel Jr., was a young boy when he examined the alien artifacts from the Roswell crash site in 1947. During the past 58 years most of the witnesses and players in the drama that
unfolded near that small New Mexico town have either died or disappeared. Now Marcel discusses the events of July 1947, the debris from the crash, and the significance of these artifacts
in his new book Roswell. It Really Happened.
As the son of Major Jesse Marcel, the lead military investigator into the crash, Jesse Jr. saw the crash debris first hand and heard what was discussed behind the scenes. What he saw and
heard was to shape the rest of his life. Now he believes the time has come to record and preserve what he knows of the crash and coverup.
Jesse Marcel Jr. is the only survivor acknowledged by the government to have seen and handled the debris from the site. As such he is the only remaining expert witness, and his new book
will undoubtedly shed new light on the Roswell crash controversy.
His book covers four fascinating aspects of the crash and coverup.
First, Marcel describes in greater detail than ever before the different kinds of debris recovered from the crash site. This includes everything Marcel personally examined when the crash
was first reported and before everything could be spirited away by the authorities.
Included in this section of the book is a discussion of the alien language found on some of the pieces Marcel marveled at as a youngster. These inscriptions are also examined by a noted
symbologist in the book.
Second, Marcel talks about the impact the crash and notoriety had on his father and himself as a young boy. For both father and boy, life would never be the same after the events at
Roswell.
Third, Marcel’s book gives a science based glimpse into alien life. Extrapolating from the artifacts from the crash, scientists have tried to reconstruct the civilization that
created them. These insights are also revealed in Roswell. It Really Happened.
Finally, Marcel examines the government’s involvement in the crash and coverup from the point of view of someone who was there watching the claims and counter-claims as one
story followed another through the hectic days after the discovery.
Jesse Marcel Jr.’s book Roswell. It Really Happened is a must-read for anyone who wants to know what “really happened” at Roswell.
