Rate this book
As we approach the 70th anniversary of the most significant UFO event of all time, best-selling author Donald R. Schmitt takes a fresh look at the renowned incident. Previous books on Roswell, including his, have focused on the witnesses, their families, and the history of the case. Cover-Up at Roswell catalogs the extreme measures the U.S. government exercised to suppress the truth.

How they silenced military witnesses clearly demonstrates their need to prevent the facts from leaking out. But more disconcerting are the tactics used against civilians and the media.

Over the years, the government has actually issued four different explanations for what took place in 1947, yet Roswell remains a mystery, shrouded in secrecy, cover-ups, and deception. Is a fifth explanation at hand?

Cover-Up at Roswell includes fascinating new information, such


The search for the truth about Roswell continues. Are we brave enough to accept it?

The high rating is for its detail and professional narrative which gives it a matter of fact flair. The author is very convincing. The interviews with eye-witnesses are especially interested.

Lets be real folks something happened in the past in the New Mexico desert near Roswell. What happened is a mystery. And I believe a cover up. Now you take it for what it shall be. This book is just another informative book about the events that occurred, and I have read many. No new news occurring here. just that something happened and we don't know what it was. Recent reveals from the U.S. Navy confirm that this phenomenon exists. So what is it? Shit if I know and I really believe if the Government knows anything they will stay very tight lipped. For the initiate into the conspiracy theory world give this one a go. For those well read on Roswell, nothing new here.

"Cover-Up at Roswell" by Donald R. Schmitt presents an intriguing exploration of one of the most enduring UFO conspiracy theories. Schmitt delves into the alleged events surrounding the 1947 Roswell incident with a thoroughness that will undoubtedly appeal to enthusiasts of the extraterrestrial and paranormal.

However, while the book is meticulously researched and presents a compelling narrative, it falls short in its critical analysis and skepticism. Schmitt's approach tends to prioritize sensationalism over rigorous investigation, leading to a narrative that feels more like speculative fiction than objective reporting.

Furthermore, "Cover-Up at Roswell" often relies on anecdotal evidence and unverified accounts, leaving readers to question the reliability of the information presented. While the Roswell incident undoubtedly holds a place in popular culture and conspiracy lore, Schmitt's uncritical acceptance of certain claims detracts from the book's overall credibility.

In conclusion, "Cover-Up at Roswell" may appeal to those already inclined to believe in UFO conspiracies, but readers seeking a more balanced and evidence-based exploration of the Roswell incident may find themselves disappointed. Despite its intriguing premise, the book ultimately falls short of delivering a convincing argument for a government cover-up at Roswell.

Well written and helped to catch me up on something I've followed since I saw the headline in a Chicago newspaper, 70 years ago.

I wanted to like this book but was a bit underwhelmed by it. A boring read that doesn’t make you want to keep reading it. 3 stars is pretty generous.

Some very interesting update on the Roswell front. Why the intelligence had to go and suppress and oppress the ranchers in the neighborhood of the Forest Ranch? Because of a weather balloon? Because of project Mogul? I don't think so.

Not particularly well-written...thoughts are kind of meandering and unorganized and it makes it hard to follow. Content is good, some details I didn't previously know and a great timeline of events. Not totally convinced, but my curiosity was stoked by reading this book.
