Throughout history, it has never been more obvious that we are being controlled and manipulated than we are today. The New World Order has been shrewdly governing humanity for centuries through control of the media and monetary systems of all nations. They are working toward the goal of making every man, women and child an "obedient robot," just intelligent enough to handle our daily needs via the very technology and systems they control. We are systematically herded like sheep into a thought process that keeps the power elite in position to rule over us; with a master blueprint so diabolical, it allows us to think we have freedom of choice in the process. Who are these overlords that govern us and where do they derive their power? The truth is, it comes down to a select few individuals pushing for a one world government and a heightened national security state with Alien influence. Recent discoveries across our planet reveal that a highly advanced race of nonhuman beings did indeed come to Earth in our ancient past, but the most shocking realization is that they are here now, among us and may have a sinister agenda beyond our wildest imaginations and are secretly manipulating developments and changes in human society in order to more efficiently control and exploit human beings.

The most enigmatic and universally known UFO incident in history needs only one name - ROSWELL. Roswell will never fade as it represents the true ushering in of the UFO phenomenon for time immemorial. Dwarfing Orson Wells' "War of the Worlds" in national and then international hysteria, Roswell was an unparalleled turning point for all of mankind because for the first time almost every man, woman and child on earth was faced with the reality that we are not alone in the universe. In early July, 1947 Major Jesse Marcel, commander of the most technologically advanced bomb group in the world, discovered the crash site of a downed UFO in the New Mexico desert following a harrowing and record breaking storm. Out of honor and duty to his country, Major Marcel was to become the scapegoat for the largest disinformation cover-up effort in world history. What he saw would be a secret he would keep for many years - knowledge about the crash itself and the ensuing battle to keep the incident covered-up by government and military factions. Roswell would be forever entwined in not just Major Marcel's life but that of his children and grandchildren for generations to come. Today Jesse Marcel III, the grandson of Major Jesse Marcel, tells his grandfather's story and reveals what has continued to haunt his family for over sixty years - the legacy of ROSWELL.
