Table Of Content“The Roswell case is the most important UFO case of all time because it is
from here that all decisions were made. It was the first of the cover-ups, the first
attempt at misdirection, and one of the most important events in human history.
It is where creatures from another world were first seen by creatures from Earth.
That we still argue about the reality of this case today is simply unbelievable.”
—Kevin D. Randle, Ph.D., coauthor of UFO Crash At Roswell and
The Truth About the UFO Crash AtRoswell
“No two men have done more to drag the truth about Roswell out of the
shadows and to expose the outrageous cover-up which has been droning on for
60 years now than Tom Carey and Don Schmitt. If the cover-up is ever going to
have a stake driven through it and the Roswell case resolved once and for all, it
will most likely be Tom and Don who will do it. Their prolific contributions to
Ufology constitute not only a bedrock of truth we can all be proud of, but demon-
strate what dedication and sacrifice above and beyond the call of duty can pro-
duce. Their new book is another milestone in the deconstruction of the Roswell
cover-up.”
—Jeff Rense, nationally syndicated talk show host
“The mystery surrounding this crash has never been adequately explained—
not by the independent investigators, and not by the U.S. government.”
—Bill Richardson, governor of New Mexico, in the foreword to
The Roswell Dig Diaries, a Sci Fi Channel Book
“Truly, something extraordinary crashed outside of Roswell, N.M. in July 1947.”
—CBS News/48 Hours
“I am almost completely convinced that the object that crashed near Roswell
was composed of materials not common on Earth.”
—Major General Kenner F. Herford, USAF (retired)
“Roswell has long been a point of great interest to me.... When I asked General
[Curtis] LeMay for permission to see it [the Roswell wreckage stored at Wright
Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio] he hit the ceiling and admonished me,
Not only no, but hell no!! And if you ask again,I’ll have you court-martialed! ”
—U.S. Senator Barry M. Goldwater,
Major General U.S. Air Force (deceased)
“...something big did happen at Roswell.”
—Unnamed GAO investigator, as told to
investigative columnist Jack Anderson, in
“The Air Force Tried to Lead Everyone Astray
on the Roswell Incident” with Michael Binstein,
the Albuquerque Journal, June 1, 1995

Acknowledgements
This work is intended to inform those among you, the interested pub-
lic, who desire to know the truth behind a truly extraordinary event that
occurred 60 years ago, as of this writing. A cover-up of the true nature of
this event by elements of the United States Military was immediately insti-
tuted, and still survives, leaking but essentially intact, to this very day.
The dedicated, proactive Roswell investigative team of Tom Carey and
Don Schmitt remains committed to ferreting out and reporting to you the
ultimate truth of the so-called Roswell Incident by developing and follow-
ing every clue, lead, or hint, no matter how small or where it may take us.
To that end, this work represents the first major publication of the Carey/
Schmitt investigative team—a down-payment to history—since it was
formed in 1998, and will offer up new information and interpretations
regarding the Roswell events stemming from our still-continuing, inten-
sive investigation into this remarkable case of apparent alien visitation.
We would like to thank all of the witnesses, as well as others with
source information who have come forward, many with great reluctance
and some with fear for their own well-being, and agreed to talk to us “on
the record” about those long-ago events. Regrettably, because Father Time
waits for no one, many of these have since passed away. Without their
courage and cooperation, we could not have moved this case forward
beyond previous works on the subject, and this publication would not
have been possible. Special thanks must go to Julie Shuster, herself the
daughter of a key player in the 1947 Roswell events, and her staff at the
International UFO Museum and Research Center in Roswell, New Mexico
for their enduring assistance and support. The IUFOM&RC has truly be-
come our base of operations when we are in Roswell. Thanks must also go to
