Friedman & Berliner, 'Crash at Corona'
Nuclear physicist Stanton Friedman and Don Berliner's case that the military recovered an alien craft near Corona, New Mexico, in 1947.
1992 CE · 33.95, -105.31 · status: disputed
The account
Friedman, who had revived interest in Roswell in the late 1970s by locating Major Jesse Marcel, compiled witness testimony and argued for a cover-up, and defended the MJ-12 documents as genuine. The book is a central text of the Roswell crash literature.
The sceptical view
The US Air Force's 1990s reports identified the debris as a Project Mogul balloon train; most testimony came decades later and witnesses contradict each other.
