Summary of William J. Birnes & Philip Corso's The Day After Roswell

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The night hugs the ground and swallows you up as you drive out of Albuquerque and into the desert. As you head east along 40 and then south along 285 to Roswell, there is only you and the tiny universe ahead of you defined by your headlights. #2 The activity at Roswell increased over the next couple of days, until it looked like a steady stream of airspace violations. It was becoming more than serious. There was no denying that a traffic pattern of strange aircraft was emerging in the skies over the New Mexico desert. #3 The first reports of strange radar blips were filed through intelligence channels on July 4, 1947. They were pulsating - glowing more intensely and then dimly - as tremendous thunderstorms broke out over the desert. The military response was put into motion within seconds: This was a national security issue, and they needed to find the object before anyone else did. #4 The air controllers at the 509th Air Base had believed that they saw an aircraft go down. However, the crash site was actually discovered by a group of Indian artifact hunters who had seen a pulsating light overhead and heard a hissing noise. They followed the sound to a group of low hills just over rise.
