Trinity: the UFO case that precedes Roswell
Researchers Jacques Vallée and Paula Leopizzi Harris turn their attention to an event that occurred near San Antonio, New Mexico, in the year 1945. Their work, Trinity: The Best-Kept Secret, proposes a revision of the accepted chronology of unidentified aerial phenomena 🛸.
Testimonies that challenge the official history
The investigation is based on the accounts of people who lived in the area during the event, including those who were children at the time. These direct witnesses describe having found the remains of a disc-shaped artifact and its non-human appearing occupants. Vallée and Harris document these statements years later, attempting to reconstruct what happened and the possible cover-up that followed.
Key points of the investigation:- The event is situated two years before the Roswell incident, in 1945.
- The central testimonies come from witnesses who were children at the time.
- A damaged discoidal craft and biological beings inside it are described.
The greatest secret is not that they visit us, but that they have been doing so since before we had Blu-ray players.
Rethinking the origins of modern ufology
By proposing this 1945 case, the authors argue that United States authorities were already recovering technology of unknown origin before 1947. This invites us to reconsider the unofficial history of these phenomena, linking it to the end of World War II and the first nuclear tests in the same desert.
Implications of the Trinity case:- Questions whether Roswell is the starting point of contemporary UFO investigation.
- Suggests an earlier and systematic technology recovery program.
- Contextualizes the phenomenon within the framework of atomic weapons development.
Evidence based on memory
The book makes it clear that its strength and weakness lie in the testimonies collected decades later. Although it lacks irrefutable physical evidence, it presents a coherent narrative from multiple sources that, if true, would rewrite what we believe we know about contact with non-human intelligences. The work does not seek to prove definitively, but to open a line of investigation that others have overlooked 🤔.
