Today, I’m going to share with you a story of very strange proportions; it’s a story that in some respects is downright sinister. It revolves around my 2005 book, Body Snatchers in the Desert. Published by Simon & Schuster, it was a book focused on the Roswell affair of July 1947. Whereas most ufologists were sure (or hoped and prayed) that the legendary incident involved aliens, my book suggested that the Roswell controversy had nothing to do with aliens, but everything to do with secret military experiments using human guinea-pigs in high-altitude flights in the skies of New Mexico. Some of those same people were Japanese, others were handicapped. The story that came to me by more than a few military old-timers was that Roswell was just one of several such balloon-based experiments that went catastrophically wrong – and that led to the legend of the “UFO crash.” When the key issues of the story began to reach me, things started to get weird. In fact, very strange. Surreal, too. With that said, now let’s get to the next part of the story.
