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).

Jesse Marcel, Jr., MD, received his undergraduate and medical degrees from Louisiana State University and specialized in diseases of the ear, nose, and throat after completing a residency at the Naval Hospital in San Diego. He served in the U.S. Navy from 1962 to 1971 and in the Montana Army National Guard from 1975 to 1996. He currently works as a doctor at the VA Hospital in Ft. Harrison, Montana.
