UFO Crash at Roswell: The Genesis of a Modern Myth
Benson Saler, Charles A. Ziegler & Charles B. Moore
Two anthropologists and the meteorologist who worked on the actual Project Mogul balloon flights analyze the Roswell story's growth from a 1947 press retraction into a full mythology, applying anthropological theory to explain how and why witness testimony expanded so dramatically across decades of retelling.
