Length: 5 hrs and 4 mins

Publisher's summary

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 documents 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).

Nothing Really New

I had a hard time finishing. Not very interesting. More about their personal lives than anything.

First Hand Account of Roswell NM 1947

I enjoyed this one so much I had to listen to it again. I little over 5 hrs this book is the first account of what the Marcels encountered that fateful night near Roswell NM in 1947. Jesse Marcel Jr was a young preteen when his father was given the task of collecting the debris from a fallen object. Told in great detail, it is obvious that something took place. That the Marcels and others held something dear and rare within their homes, mind’s eye, and definitely memories. I am not arrogant enough to believe that we are the only life within this vast universe. Nor am I arrogant enough to believe that there isn’t something greater than us. I hope that we as a society are not that arrogant. There are many unexplained things within this world past , present, and future. Unfortunately, we will probably never know what the Marcels and others actually saw and experienced that night.

NEW Mexico, Roswell; First hand account.

First hand account of that night back in JULY, 1947 in Roswell NEW Mexico, USA finally told.

worth a listen

It's a good listen. Narrator was not annoying. Very interesting. I listened all the way to the end.

Well worth the listen

First hand account. Tells you what really happened in 1947. I wish I could’ve talked to the author myself.

was bored

it was too boring to finish. It goes in to too many irrelevant details.

Did they hire A.I to narrate this thing?!

Got 30 minutes in and had to stop. The narrator was brutal! Dead pan, monotone, droning on mixed with his over pronunciation of every word - can’t do it! I’ll buy the book and read it myself.
