Further Topics and Conclusion
  The other parts of The Roswell UFO Crash: What They Don't Want You to Know
expose the two cases where alleged physical metallic fragments were recovered
and scientifically analyzed. In both instances, thorough analyses revealed
that none of the fragments were extraterrestrial in origin.
  I also address the issue of the Majestic-12 (MJ-12) documents. For those
not familiar with the MJ-12 documents, these allegedly authentic top-secret
documents were brought to the public's attention in 1987 by Bill Moore,
Stanton Friedman, and another associate. They refer to a top-secret
"Operation Majestic-12," supposedly created by President Truman to analyze
the Roswell crashed saucer and aliens. Skeptic Phil Klass and others have
shown this to be a hoax. I recount an interview with the widow and daughter
of the late UFO skeptic and Harvard astronomer, Donald Menzel, an alleged MJ-
12 member. Supporters of the MJ-12 papers, including Friedman, would have us
believe that Menzel was a secret government "disinformation" agent who knew
all about Roswell and the aliens recovered. Suffice it to say, the Menzel
family are not amused by these ridiculous claims and were kind enough to
share their thoughts with me, as well as provide additional evidence that
their father could not have been a secret member of the non-existent MJ-12.
  After maintaining my personal silence on the subject for nearly fifteen
years, I finally come forth with some detailed insight into Roswell UFO
researcher Bill Moore's claim that he is a UFO disinformation expert for the
U.S. government. I was one of the first people Moore told this to back in
1982, some seven years before he announced it in July 1989. At the time,
Moore approached me and tried to recruit me on his "mission." Naturally, I
declined, and began to distance myself from him.
  One of the last chapters in my book examines the infamous alien autopsy
film and presents a myriad of reasons why it is a hoax. Also described are
some behind-the-scenes details about the production and many of the games
that were played on Fox TV by the films promoter, Ray Santilli.
  The Roswell UFO Crash: What They Don't Want You to Know is the first book
to thoroughly wade through the massive quagmire of Roswell evidence and
finally separate the fact from the fiction. Paranoid UFO conspiracy buffs and
Virginia, there was a "coverup," but it did not involve the remains of an
extraterrestrial flying saucer.
  On the other hand, pro-UFO Roswell aficionados will find the massive
evidence refuting the Roswell myth in my book disturbing, and not just
because their favorite UFO case has now been explained. Indeed, the message
in the final chapter makes it very clear that the UFO field has suffered in
credibility because of Roswell and especially because of the unprofessional
and shoddy "standards" of evidence the Roswell authors have practiced.
  Although I didn't relish wording the last paragraph in my book the way I
did, I had to call things as I see them. This paragraph reads: "The time has
come for the UFO community to take an honest look at itself in the mirror
concerning Roswell. If and when they ever decide to do this, they will see
for the first time that they have two black eyes and a huge hole in their
head. All of which have been self-inflicted."
