clandestine laboratories setup in several places around the world.
Some of the scientists in such programs had physical contact with
Aliens and Alien technologies, that were discovered inside the
salvaged Alien spaceship at Roswell. A few of these people
eventually wrote books describing some of the things they worked
around, but for the fantastic nature of their claims few believed
them. Others, with more profound information and fearful of
loosing credibility, careers, and even their life, had no interest in
going public. Some remained quiet out of duty to country. Most of
these people have gone to their graves, taking their Alien secrets
with them. But not all secrets were taken to the grave. Some
remained hidden in dusty attics and damp basements, stored away
under old magazines and books inside boxes, awaiting discovery.
Much of this material was never found, and like countless other
historical documents throughout the ages has been lost to posterity,
never to be viewed by human eyes again. No one will ever know
how much secret information from that and other covert projects
made it to the landfills, but some journals have surfaced after the
author(s) have passed away.
When I first wrote “In League with a UFO” I did not want
to be associated with the UFO phenomena and was not sure how to
put the information out without admitting my personal experiences.
So I put the manuscript away for two years before revisiting it
again and publishing the manuscript. Unbeknownst to me at the
time was that my book would come out in print two weeks before
the 50th anniversary of the Roswell crash. My publisher informed
Lou Baldin In League with a UFO 11
me of that fact and suggested that I should take advantage of the
crowds that would converge in Roswell, New Mexico on July of
1997, to sell my books. I declined and my book remained for the
most part unknown for nearly ten years after publication. A few
books were purchased and in the second year I was invited to a
filming of a documentary concerning UFOs and again I declined
publicity for the book. I did however do a couple of radio shows
which netted me a few book sales. How I came to have this
information is as strange as the information itself. I was a
homebuilder at the time with no desire to write and little if any
writing ability to boot. I received a call one day and was invited to
have lunch by an individual I did not know. I often met with clients
and suppliers who I did business with and didn’t give it much
thought when I accepted the invitation. I met with this fellow at an
upscale restaurant and we never once talked about construction,
which should have been odd, but for some reason it was not.
During our conversation he handed me some papers that he took
from his briefcase and showed them to me. I can’t to this day recall
what we talked about or what was on those papers, but not long
after that day I began to write down the material that is now in this
book.

UFO Crash
he year was 1947, the place Roswell New Mexico. On
July 2, of that year, reports of a bright disk streaming
across the sky were made my some of the townspeople to
the local authorities. The unidentified-flying-object (UFO) fell
from the sky and crashed approximately seventy-five miles
northwest of town that day. A rancher or farmer that heard the
crash and had thought that an airplane had fallen into a field a short
distance from the house he was living in, investigated. What he
found at the scene was nothing he could relate to and it certainly
didn’t look to him like it was from this world! He was so mystified
about what he saw that he didn’t report it until five days later, on
July the 7th when he went into town for some other business. He
told some friends that the craft was made of a strange material that
had no weight to it, yet seemed to have incredible strength. Years
later some of the material found at the crash site was equated to
looking like aluminum foil. Coincidently, aluminum foil was
invented that year (1947). However, aluminum foil is easily
damaged and destroyed, unlike the material from the Alien ship.
Once the news spread about the rancher’s claim of finding a UFO
the excitement mixed with apprehension (thoughts of an Alien
invasion), spread throughout the town like a brush fire. It was not
long after the rancher showed the crash site to one of the military
officers that the rancher suddenly became silent on the topic and
Lou Baldin In League with a UFO 14
spoke no more about it. He refused to discuss what he had found
with the media or his friends. Nevertheless, the news was out and it
quickly traveled around the country and the world as the press
corps inundated that small New Mexico town. Ironically, much of
what is known about the UFO crash was released to the media by a
public relations officer from the Army / Air Force (the same people
that later denied it). A military officer told the press that a flying
disk had crashed and that the Army/Air Force did recover it. (In
1947 the Army and the Air force was one branch.) From that
statement, people from all over world wanted to know more. Some
of the talk around town focused on topics that questioned the vary
nature of mans existence, “what if we are not alone in the universe?
Was this crash proof that other life forms did exist? And if so what
a scary thought that was!” Those were some of the concerns talked
about. Orson Welle’s "War of the Worlds" of a few years earlier, in
1938, was still on the minds of many of the town folks. That
alleged alien crash implied that a real alien invasion could be
imminent. There was anxiety mixed in with the excitement. Those
were dire implications to that possibility and the government soon
realized it was not in a position to answer the queries and concerns
coming at them by the potentially panic-provoking reporters. Not
knowing what the army had in its possession and at the same time
attempting to halt what had turned into a media-circus of paranoia,
the military retracted its earlier statement about a flying disk and
blamed the misunderstanding to a misinformed lower ranking
officer. The military’s new report simply stated that a new kind of
