Thomas J. Carey - The Children of Roswell: A Seven-Decade Legacy of Fear, Intimidation, and Cover-Ups

Praise for The Children of Roswell:

For many years I worked as a state and then federal investigator, assigned to criminal cases of the most horrendous crimes against children. Theres a certain lost innocence thats often never regained when children are victimized or intimidated to keep silent. The story of The Children of Roswell is as tragic as it is shocking. We now know that the American government stooped to the lowest level of humanity by going so far as to issue death threats to child witnesses. This should inform the reader of two things: There was a big secret to be keptand the secret keepers were willing to go to any lengths to keep it.

Ben Hansen, lead host of Syfy Channels Fact or Faked; Paranormal Files

Up until recently my father, Jesse Marcel Jr., was one of the remaining eye witnesses to the Roswell event. He believed that everyone had the right to know the truth about what really happened in Roswell, July of 1947. Now that he has passed, I find that The Children of Roswell to be even more relevant since there are fewer and fewer firsthand account witnesses.

Denise Marcel, daughter, Col./Dr. Jesse Marcel, Jr.

The secrecy that shrouded the Roswell event has been passed down from one generation to the next. Schmitt and Carey have followed the story from the beginning of first contact through the sons and daughters and grandchildren who have heard about this mystery as part of an oral tradition determined to keep the truth alive, even when the gatekeepers deny it. This is an important book because it gives voice to those who have encountered the unknown and been treated badly by a government that knows better.

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

The people most effected by what happened in the summer of 1947 have a voice through this book and not only are able to share the pertinent facts, but also the emotional impact this event continues to have on these peoples lives. No credible judgement of what happened in the desert outside of Roswell so many years ago can be made without reviewing the testimonies recorded here.

Alejandro Rojas, Open Minds Television, writer, Huffington Post

The Children of Roswell conveys to the reader the trauma suffered by several generations in the wake of a very real and very dramatic event for a small, sleepy American townor any town, for that matter.

Yvonne Smith, C.Ht., abduction researcher, author, lecturer

For millennia the red sands of the upland plains and valley side slopes of Chaves County were reworked by wind, then later gently pressed beneath the feet of the Jumanas Indians who called southeastern New Mexico home. Since the first week of July 47, few have toiled greater or combed more meticulously the aridic soil near Corona in search of truth than these authors. I was convinced the red sands of Chaves County would give up their secrets no more. Now I am hopeful The Children of Roswell may be our last best hopefor the truth.

Richard Syrett, host, The Conspiracy Show

Every time Schmitt and Carey write a new book on Roswell, we learn more about this fascinating mystery of the century. This time, through interviews with the child witnesses, we get astounding evidence of the event and the resultant government cover-up.

With the Children of Roswell, Tom Carey and Donald Schmitt give us an opportunity to contemplate how the witnesses to Roswell have dealt with the trauma of being confronted with non-human intelligent beings and their technology. Perhaps even worse than trying to understand the significance of contact with alien beings is the fear these witnesses relive that was inflicted by government agents bent upon keeping the Secret of Roswell from the public at all costs. The threats were real; the trauma silenced them for years, until now.

James E. Clarkson, Washington State Director, MUFON

I found accounts of the first-hand testimonies by the Roswell residents to be compelling; and, the new information presented herein advances our understanding about what happened in 1947.

David P. Hajjar, Ph.D. professor of Biochemistry and Pathology, Weill Cornell Medical College and Graduate School of Medical Sciences

An apt and compelling follow up to Witness to Roswell. By covering the accounts and testimony of some of the key children involved in this case, the authors lay out a very persuasive and almost conclusive argument, that layers perfectly on top of their previous work.

Don Most, actor, producer

Never before has there been a book that reads like an old photograph. Every detail has the reader seeing in his minds eye a time where excitement, dread, and curiosity gripped rural America. The Children of Roswell is like a readable scrapbook where the reader can imagine and even see the Roswell UFO crash in a fresh and remarkable tableau that never ceases to captivate historians and investigators alike. The Children of Roswell gives a fresh human approach where raw emotions were felt as witnesses tried to explain one of the most enigmatic moments in our history.

Clyde Lewis, radio host and personality

This is the most emotionally intimate and engaging research on Roswell ever published. Through the experiences, stories and bright eyes of The Children of Roswell, the authors provide powerful new insight into not only the undisputed facts, but also the overwhelming emotional impact on this closely knit community. Together with their prior work, the authors make it clear that it is the truth about Roswell which will allow both innocence and trust to returnnot only to its children, but to each of us as well.
