Binding: PaperbackDewey Decimal Number: 001.942 EAN: 9781601630261 Edition: 1 ISBN: 1601630263 Label: New Page Books Manufacturer: New Page Books Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 187 Publication Date: September 15, 2008 Publisher: New Page Books Studio: New Page Books Editorial Review: Product Description: Does extraterrestrial life exist? Have alien beings actually visited Earth and, indeed, left clear traces of their visits? One man has the answer...and his son can now break the silence. The Roswell Legacy is the story of Major Jesse Marcel, the intelligence officer for the 509th Bomber Group (famous for dropping the atomic bomb on Japan), and the first military officer to reach the scene of one of the most famous and enduring UFO events in the recorded history of mankind. This book docments the recovery of debris from the crash of an extraterrestrial craft and how the Marcel family became forever linked to the event. It details what the debris looked like, how it greatly differed from that of the "weather balloon" that was supposedly recovered, and the physical characteristics that prove it could have only come from a technology that was not available in the 1940s (or, perhaps, even now). Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good material but no styleA powerful book, no doubt. Despite all the documentation and facts in this book, Roswell remains a big question mark. It appears to me that ufologists are not doing the right thing. So many of them, so many books, so many appearences on TV shows, yet not even one single physical evidence. This is what this well-thought book is suffering from! Rating: - NICE INSIGHTFIRST OFF LET ME SAY GREAT BOOK. MARCEL JR. SEEMS LIKE A CREDIBLE GUY JUST LIKE HIS FATHER. THIS IS NOT YOU'RE TYPICAL ROSWELL ACCOUNT. YES THE AUTHOR GIVES YOU A ROUND DOWN ON HIS VERSION OF ROSWELL AND WHAT HE EXPERINCED. BUT THE BOOK DEALS MORE ABOUT THE MARCEL FAMILY BEFORE AND AFTER ROSWELL. YOU GET SOME INSIGHT ON WHO THEIR WERE AND ARE. HE TALKS ABOUT THE EFFECTS ROSWELL HAD ON HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND NOW HIS KIDS AS WELL. HE EXPLANS WHAT A MOGUL BALLON IS AND WHY THAT EXPLANATION JUST DOESN'T ... Read More Rating: - The Roswell legacyThe Book was interesting in most places and was repetitive by way of emphasis in some chapters. It needed the other book ("Day after Roswell") to be read first as a background to the story. There still remains the US govt's final view of the subject which essentially remains a mystery in the clouds of "its too long ago to worry about". Essentially it is the story of the author's father and has some real though incomplete experiences nagging at the author seeking to express his unanimous belief in ... Read More Rating:  - True or Not True?The Roswell Legacy was a welcomed publication. It was nice to see a book by Major Marcel's son finally on the market. Though it did deal with family matters and family quite a bit, I found that it dealt with many of the personal problems with family members including the fact that both Major Marcel and his wife as Jesse states in the book - became alcoholics. He speaks also of the effect that the Roswell Incident and its many years of secrecy had on his entire family including his own children. He states ... Read More Rating: - DEMOLISHES THE "MOGUL BALLOON" THEORYJesse Marcel Jr. has written a touching vindication of his father, Jesse Marcel, the Security Officer the military asked to look over the debris field on Mac Brazel's farm back in June of 1947. The author was an 11 year-old boy living with his parents near the military base at Roswell New Mexico, and he personally saw and touched parts of the debris as his father excitedly told him it was "not of this world." The basic story is well known, and Jesse Jr does not provide anything beyond the known facts ... Read More |
