A breathtaking exposé that reads like a thriller, The Day After Roswell is a stunning depiction of just what happened in Roswell, New Mexico all those years ago and how the effects of this mysterious unidentified aircraft crash are still relevant today.

Only in his fascinating memoir can you discover how he helped removed alien artifacts from the site and used them to help improve much of the technology the Army uses today, such as circuit chips, fiber optics, and more.

Laying bare the United States government's shocking role in the Roswell incident--what was found, the cover-up, and more--The Day After Roswell is an extraordinary memoir that not only forces us to reconsider the past, but also our role in the universe.
