As Jesse points out in his recently released book, The Roswell Legacy, “there have been many books written about ‘the Roswell Incident,’ along with a seemingly endless stream of documentaries, movies and editorial pieces” etc. We’ve certainly been reminded of this fact with all the hoopla surrounding the 60th anniversary of the event, and the festival just held at Roswell.
That being the case . . . what more could be offered? What could be said, that hasn’t been rehashed over and over again? Having just finished the book last night, I can say with great enthusiasm, that not only has Jesse revealed “fresh data,” he presents it in a most “palatable fashion.”
Jesse’s “laid back style” which is evident on camera, certainly comes through on the page. Now this isn’t to say that he “dulls the reader,” quite the opposite in fact, he makes you comfortable, as if we’re having a personal chat.

THE ROSWEL LEGACY

– A new
book by Col. Jesse Marcel Jr. - The Roswell Legacy - claims
that the famous Roswell UFO event actually occurred,
including the recovery of an extraterrestrial craft. Col.
Marcel's famous father, Maj. Jesse Marcel Sr. was the lead
military investigator into the crash of 1947 and is finally
vindicated according to this book.
Without a doubt the 1947 Roswell, N.M. event is the
paramount story of western extraterrestrial folklore. Some
think whatever really happened there will never be known.
The U.S. government says it was a simple case of
misidentification. But as most people know, this wasn't the
military's first position.
I found Jesse’s tome to be many things rolled into one; much more then a story about “Flying Saucers, aliens and a government cover-up”; it was a “tribute’ to his father to which his (Jesse Jr.) love and respect was most evident! It was also a tribute to an “American patriot” (Jesse Sr.) and quite frankly I was often moved by his “shared feelings.”
The book was also an exposé of the “Marcel family,” often times very personal; one might think that Jesse needn’t “go there,” but as he points out the “Roswell Incident” had a rippling effect for all those called “Marcel.” I thought this took a lot of guts; moreover, it certainly was a vital component in telling his story.
