Episode 07 - Nick Redfern: The Roswell UFO Conspiracy
|
In 2005, author and researcher, Nick Redfern, released Body Snatchers in the Desert, where he brought forth theories that the 1947 Roswell UFO crash was actually that of a top secret high-altitude experiment in which Japanese POWs were used as test-flight victims. He now expands on these theories in his follow-up book, The Roswell UFO Conspiracy. This was a fascinating and controversial interview to say the least.
