The most famous UFO event in history was the discovery of a crashed flying saucer and alien bodies outside Roswell, New Mexico in July, 1947. The military put out a press release saying they had recovered a flying disk, but recanted the next day, stating it was a big misunderstanding and just a weather balloon. Over the following days the military from Roswell Army Air Field covered it up: They cordoned off the crash sites, recovered the bodies and debris, threatened the local population into silence, and switched out pieces of a weather balloon for the crash debris in a big press event. And the most important interplanetary incident in history remained buried for years.
But what if someone managed to sneak material out of the crash site, and decades later it was buried in a secret location. And, what if the only person that could figure out that location was a 14-year old girl:
Mel has just moved in next door. She likes wearing sleeveless t-shirts, jeans, high-top converse sneakers, and throws a really mean curve ball, but that doesn’t stop Frankie from falling for her. It is the summer of 1966 and there have been a rash of UFO sightings all over the country. Together, with their friend Beanie, Mel and Frankie plan a hoax to make a fake UFO and launch it over Oswego Lake. But it ends in disaster, catching a tree and a house on fire. They know they are in big trouble, but before anyone finds out what they did, some strange things happen. There is a UFO sighting in the area, a reported nearby landing, and the apparent abduction of the neighbor from the very house they burned. It all becomes national news and throws the little town of Lake Oswego into a frenzy.
How could all this start from their stupid, little hoax? Mel, Frankie, and Beanie have to find out. Each clue helps them to uncover how Mel’s father really died, and why. It sets them on a path to a discovery that involves the most famous UFO crash in history, the United States Air Force, and international espionage. Every step leads the kids toward unearthing a long-kept secret that puts them in great danger.
