Friedman, Stanton T. and Berliner, Don. Crash at Corona: The U.S. Military Retrieval and Cover-up of a UFO. New York: Paragon House, 1992. 217 pages.

In July, 1947, there was unusual activity at Roswell Army Air Field in New Mexico. The public information officer announced that a "flying disc" had been recovered on a ranch near Corona. After this went out on the wires, they corrected themselves and said that it was merely a weather balloon. The press dutifully lost interest for the next 45 years -- in 1947 it was not considered proper to question the official line.

The rancher who found the wreck, William "Mac" Brazel, was taken into custody for a week and then kept his mouth shut, but his son remembers plenty. Another witness was Major Jesse A. Marcel, an intelligence officer from Roswell who was dispatched to the crash site to pick up the pieces (as light as balsa wood, flexible, utterly indestructible, and with strange hieroglyphic markings on them). And there is Glenn Dennis, a civilian mortician who normally did work for Roswell. He showed up one day in July on routine business, and briefly exchanged words with a nurse on duty ("How did you get in here?") before he was forcibly ejected by MPs. The next day, emotionally distraught, she described to him the three small humanoid bodies that were being autopsied at the base hospital. Authors Friedman and Berliner interviewed more than 100 witnesses, making this the most thorough account of a crucial event in human history.
