Roswell: The U.F.O. Cover-Up Movie Review

Fact-based drama finds intelligence officer Major Jesse Marcel (Kyle McLachlan) investigating the wreckage of a craft near his Roswell, New Mexico, air base in the summer of 1947. Marcel believes the craft is extraterrestrial – as are the strange bodies recovered from the wreckage. An Air Force press release announces a UFO but is quickly retracted and Marcel's suspicions ridiculed. A 30-year reunion still finds him obsessed and seeking to clear his name but this time Marcel's investigations may finally lead to the truth. Made for TV; based on the book UFO Crash at Roswell by Kevin D. Randle and Donald R. Schmitt.
