About this listen

Does extraterrestrial life exist? Have alien beings actually visited Earth and, indeed, left clear traces of their visits? One man has the answer...and his son can now break the silence.

The Roswell Legacy is the story of Major Jesse Marcel, the intelligence officer for the 509th Bomber Group (famous for dropping the atomic bomb on Japan), and the first military officer to reach the scene of one of the most famous and enduring UFO events in the recorded history of mankind.

This book documents the recovery of debris from the crash of an extraterrestrial craft and how the Marcel family became forever linked to the event. It details what the debris looked like, how it greatly differed from that of the "weather balloon" that was supposedly recovered, and the physical characteristics that prove it could have only come from a technology that was not available in the 1940s (or, perhaps, even now).

Overall this is pretty good, if a tad repetitive. How many times can you say "it wasn't foil from a weather balloon". The backwards hypocritical thinking I find plagues this topic, is alive and well with this book. He lays out how frustrating it is, people who don't take him seriously, dismiss the subject without discussing the evidence, and resort to name calling or character assassination. Within a sentence or two, he then attempts to distance himself from the "crazy people" who talk about "crazy things" and proceeds to do the very same thing he finds frustrating, when people do to him, by dismissing a neighbouring topic, without discussing any of the details, calling it "tin foil hat" etc.

While this "technique" let's call it, is clearly some psychological self protect mechanism, it seems to block existing belief systems from having to change (by dismissing anything that threatens to do so). while it's frustrating when others do it, I find it lends credibility to his story (why are they doing it to me, my story is after all, the real true conspiracy - not like them other fake ones).

a must read for anyone interested in the whole Roswell UFO area 51 type stuff, but nothing new

overall very good

The book is well written and compelling.

It provides a valuable piece of the puzzle that completes and complements the excellent books by Schmidt and others.

Great Perspective to round out the story

Enjoyed it. Beginning and end sections were better for me,
Some interesting insights on top of the original story,

Yet more proof of the cover up machine that’s running the planet!

very interesting

took a relativvely long time to say a little, would have thought that somebody who claims to have seen the Army cover up could have either said more or have said it more briefly

Disappointing

Well perhaps that's unfair. There is some detail but from the memory of an eleven year old recounted some fifty years later. Other than that there's a lot of repetition and glorification. The interesting and relevant details could be covered in a short chapter and so this book is superfluous.

Very little detail
