Tom Carey and Don Schmitt have taken the investigation of Roswell from New Mexico to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, adding valuable and documented evidence about what is now the history of the UFO field. Their important research will significantly aid in uncovering what is becoming the greatest mystery of our time.

Tom Carey and Don Schmitt have once again dug deeply to uncover credible witness testimony, documentation, and other evidence that our military recovered ET technology many decades ago. Their latest work is highly suggestive that Wright-Pattersons role in the exploitation of that discovery wasand may still besubstantial.
Anthony Bragalia, author and UFO researcher
What if the truth we seek from UFO disclosure has been hidden in plain sight? Alien bodies and technology were recovered more than once by our military. Who orchestrated the cover-up and where would that invaluable wreckage be held? Two of the most dedicated investigators in the field, Don Schmitt and Tom Carey, have turned from the Roswell, N.M. UFO Crash of 1947 to where the Air Force policies of cover-up and secrecy were first implementedWright-Patterson AFB. There are more reasons for high security than classified airplanes. If you want to know why the disclosure of UFO secrets has not occurred in the USA, this is a must-read.
James E. Clarkson, Washington State Director of the Mutual UFO Network
In their previous book, Witness To Roswell: Unmasking the Governments Biggest Cover-Up, researchers Tom Carey and Don Schmitt presented riveting, ground-breaking information that provided new insight into the case. Their cautious, well-documented approach to the subject of crashed UFOs steers the proper course between debunkery and blind acceptance. Inside the Real Area 51 will undoubtedly enhance their well-deserved reputations as credible sources of information on the topic.
Robert Hastings, author of UFOs and Nukes: Extraordinary Encounters at Nuclear Weapons Sites
Where others rely on a reanalysis of secondary data, Carey and Schmitt demonstrate their ability to keenly analyze and critically evaluate the reliability of new primary data, as well as to identify, bring forward, and objectively interview new firsthand witnesses. As a result they are able to publish not only the most interesting, but also what will prove to be among the most historically valuable and accurate information available.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This work is intended to inform those among you who desireno, dareto know the truth behind an extraordinary event that occurred 66 years ago (as of this writing). It begins where our previous works regarding the Roswell incident of July 1947, left off: with the arrival of the UFO-crash wreckage and little bodies at Wright Field (now Wright-Patterson Air Force Base) in Dayton, Ohio. What happened next is what this book is about.
Although we have a combined 45 years of focused research dedicated to the Roswell case and its aftermath, any investigation of this magnitude, covering so many years and time zones, is not accomplished in a vacuum. Many others have contributed in so many, many ways to our ongoing research that this book could not have been written without their help and support. For that, we hereby acknowledge them.
We would first like to thank all of the witnesses and others with source-information who have come forward, often with great reluctance out of fear for their own well-being, and agreed to talk to us on the record about long-ago events. Regrettably, Father Time waits for no one, and many of these witnesses have since passed away. But without their courage and cooperation our investigation and this publication would not have been possible.
Special thanks must go to:
Del Stringfield, not only for her wonderful support of our work, but also her ongoing loyalty to her late husband and our dear friend, Len.
The International UFO Museum and Research Center, for their extensive research facility, which is second to none. One could spend a year there and not touch all of the accessible data. What a treasure.
Julie Shuster, the Museums former director, for her deep and abiding friendship, strength, and inspiration to us all.
Jerome Clark, for his long friendship and the deep respect and admiration we have for his presence. If we had a team of Jerry Clarks, this riddle would have been solved 25 years ago.
Nathan Twining, Jr., who made us part of the Twining family, treated us like brothers, and often told us his late father would have encouraged us more than anyone else.
Anthony Bragalia, whose tenacity in ferreting out witnesses and getting them to talk is beyond belief, for his peerless ability to locate people, documents, and photos online, and for his Nitinol research, which formed the basis for .
Grant Cameron, Lee Graham, and Brian Parks, for providing pertinent documents to help us learn what was behind the door to the Blue Room at Wright-Patterson.
Kevin Randle, for his counsel on a number of historical issues.
Bill Kilbourne, for all of his kind technical assistance.
Christopher Carson, for all of his legal counsel.
Colonel Jeffrey Thau, for all of his military counsel.
John Mosgrove, for his bravery in times of sadness, and his devotion to the truth.
Tracy Torme, for his 25-year friendship and continuing support. His work continues to shine out from his Hollywood contemporaries.
Finally, we must thank the late Carl Day. It was Carls idea to write this book. In fact, we were honored that an award-winning journalist with a stellar reputation would have asked us to write it with him. Sadly, he passed just months before we started. Carlwe know you were with us all along.
