Counterintelligence

Balloon or spacecraft?
After 75 years, it's time to learn the truth.

After seventy-five years, one thorny question still haunts us: What - exactly - crashed in the desert near Roswell, New Mexico, in July 1947?

The U.S. Air Force makes it easy to learn its truth about the discovery. It was top-secret Project Mogul - a high-altitude, data-gathering balloon. You can trust these findings and move on.

But if you struggle with the mixed messages - the flying saucer press release of July 8, the weather balloon correction of July 9, and the re-explanation in a 1994 report - then, like Richard Kestner, you might still ponder this sticky question.

A lifelong military person, Counterintelligence author Richard Kestner struggled to believe that the highly-trained military personnel of Roswell Army Airfield - the first-ever nuclear-capable combat unit - could not tell the difference between a weather balloon and an aircraft or spacecraft.

Driven by curiosity and backed by years of in-depth research, Richard brings a fresh look, solid reasoning, and compelling facts to investigate this enduring question to shed light on the truth.
