Why do they come?

Inside, you will find detailed discussions on such mysterious events as:
- the Roswell Incident - in July 1947 reports arose of a flying disc outside Roswell, New Mexico, mysterious debris made of materials unknown to the public and there were even rumours of alien bodies - did the authorities try to cover up evidence of alien life?
- the Rendlesham Affair - when strange lights appeared in the sky outside a US air force base in Suffolk, UK in 1980 high levels of radiation followed and local residents were inclined to ask - was this a UFO crash?
