Publisher Description
IF UFOS DON'T EXIST, THEN THEY CAN'T CRASH. But something did crash near Corona, a tiny town not far from Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. And that crash has been dissected and debated ever since. Aviation/science writer Don Berliner and nuclear physicist Stanton Friedman, the original civilian investigator of the so-called Roswell incident, have delved into the controversy to find the truth. They sifted through once-classified government documents, interviewed military and civilian witnesses, pieced together evidence, considered alternative theories, and concluded that a UFO crashed near Corona-and the U.S. government knew it and covered it up. Crash at Corona proves that what was found in the New Mexico desert wasn't a weather balloon or a secret weapon-it was a UFO.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
One of the more credible books arguing the existence of UFOs, this account tells of the alleged crash of a ``flying saucer'' near Corona, N.M., on July 3, 1947. Nuclear physicist Friedman and Berliner, founder of the Fund for UFO Research, note that of the many people who collected the debris, not a single one failed to turn every last scrap over to the Army. They assert that in the wreckage were small, ``humanoid'' beings. The authors' arguments gain credibility as they report the paranoid reaction of the military, which, they claim, cajoled and threatened witnesses into silence, supposedly to protect the earth from space invaders. Most arresting of all is the testimony of those who handled the debris, who had no opportunity to compare notes, yet have described the materials--mostly consisting of a flexible metal-like substance, in some cases marked by characters resembling hieroglyphics--in almost identical language.

Customer Reviews
Overly redundant; poorly organized; disjointed; and atrociously written
With all due respect to Dr. Friedman, the book was filled with grammatical errors, typos, and horrific lexicon and usage. Understandably written in the third person, the book was very poorly written and edited… making it difficult to read. The book, which could have been very richly written, seemed to be an unedited collection of notes rather than a well-organized historical text.
Granted, the interest of telling the truth was served by distinguishing between what is proven (or not), but it seemed that the editorial function of narrative about proof would have been better served in a chapter or two, rather than making this apparent compilation of interview notes seem so disjointed.
Seemed to be written by barely-literate junior high school students than by a scholar; the editing seemed rushed — with not much attention to detail. Punctuation skills were sadly very elementary. Dozens of typographical errors that made reading difficult, certain to persuade the reader to give up rather than wade through the mistakes.
Amazing Read!
Crash At Corona is simply the Best book on the Roswell Incident ever written.
