Inside the Real Area 51: The Secret History of Wright Patterson

by Thomas J. Carey, Donald R. Schmitt

Overview

The true nature of what actually crashed in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947 remains classified. Only a select few have ever had access to the truth about what became known as Area 51.
But what happened to the remnants of that crash is shrouded in even greater mystery. What began in the high desert of New Mexico ended at Wright-Patterson, an ultra top-secret Air Force base in Dayton, Ohio. The physical evidence of extraterrestrial visitation was buried deep within this nuclear stronghold.
How tragic that such seismic news should be kept from the people of the world...pieces of history, now quickly dwindling into oblivion as the last of the secret-keepers passes on.
In spite of its rich and historic military service to our nation, Wright-Patterson also stands as the secret tomb of one of the greatest occurrences in recorded history. But be prepared...the real Area 51--Wright Patterson's vault--is about to be opened.

Editorial Reviews

"Never again should it be said that we simply don't have evidence of extraterrestrial visitation. If the eyewitness testimony of dozens of honorable, distinguished, and heroic military men and women is to account for anything…then we should listen to what they've been telling us about Wright-Patterson AFB. Schmitt and Carey take us on a riveting journey inside underground hangars and down secret tunnels to the testing labs and storage facilities of quite possibly the world's most historically important air base. My own grandfather's unusual employment at the base is interwoven with the secrets guarded within its gates. It was because of his experiences on special assignments at the facility that he was compelled to tell his family from his deathbed, 'We are not alone.'"
--Ben Hansen, lead host of SyFy Channel's Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files

"Through their tenacious efforts to document mysterious events surrounding Roswell, Hangar 18, and alien beings as reported to them by top military officials, Carey and Schmitt show that good, old-fashioned investigative reporting is still alive and well."
--Cheryll Jones, former anchor, CNN News

"Don Schmitt and Tom Carey know the truth about UFOs. Someone from someplace that isn't here has been flying around in our skies using technology that we don't have to execute aerial maneuvers that we can't match. The question now is, what are we going to do about it? The answer is that men like Schmitt and Carey--who hate being lied to--are going to present us with the facts, and if we're as courageous as they are, we are not going to take it much longer."

--Bryce Zabel, creator, producer, and director of Dark Skies, and coauthor of A.D. After Disclosure
