Beyond Roswell examines the circumstances surrounding the July 1947 reports of a flying saucer crash and the government's recovery of the craft's non-human occupants; closely examines the Santilli film (better known as the Fox television special Alien Autopsy: Fact or Fiction?), and reveals for the first time the UFO crash one month before Roswell. The authors refute charges that the Santilli film is a fraud but contend that the film features an alien recovered in Socorro, NM in May 1947.
