THE COSMIC COVER-UP EXPOSED

They said the sky was falling—turns out, it really was. When a flaming satellite slammed into an Iowa cornfield in 1960, the U.S. Air Force activated a code-name so secret even generals whispered it only in vaults: Project Moon Dust. For the next thirty years—through the Berlin Crisis, Vietnam, and the Reagan-era Star Wars program—a hand-picked band of “sky-hunters” leap-frogged commercial jets and KGB patrols to snatch every shard of scorched spacecraft, mystery metal, and alleged other-worldly debris that tore through Earth’s atmosphere—often while the wreckage was still glowing.

Officials denied the unit existed. Reporters chasing the rumor ran into disappearing files, stone-walled witnesses, and black vans idling outside their homes. Until now.

A THRILLER—ONLY WORSE, BECAUSE IT’S TRUE

Drawing on 2,700 pages of newly declassified cables, eyewitness interviews, and never-before-seen photographs, Air Force veteran and historian Gary Covella, Ph.D. rips the lid off the covert war for cosmic intelligence. Sky-Hunters takes you inside:

• The midnight airlift that spirited radioactive fragments past state troopers and farm kids with Geiger counters
• A “lost” titanium sphere that triggered a three-county evacuation—and an FBI turf war
• A secret Panama warehouse stuffed with relics that still tick and hum
• The paper trail that ties Moon Dust sorties to JFK’s final months—and a classified crash in Peru nicknamed “Roswell’s Cousin.”

SHOCKING REVELATIONS INSIDE

• Alien Alloys? Lab reports reveal metals no Soviet smelter could have forged.
• Biological Fallout. Why CDC doctors quietly screened Kansas farmers for radiation burns.
• Space Espionage 101. How Moon Dust fed both NASA engineers and CIA assassins.
• The Missing Bomb Core. Newly released files confirm a plutonium “secondary” still buried under Greenland’s ice.

WHY THIS BOOK MATTERS NOW

Congressional hearings on “unidentified aerospace threats” have thrust Moon Dust back into the headlines. Politicians brandish whistle-blower testimony; defense contractors smell trillion-dollar budgets. Before headlines warp history, read the primary sources for yourself. Covella’s fifteen-year investigation stitches together mission logs, crash-site maps, and human drama to deliver the definitive account—one that reads like Tom Clancy but lands harder because every revelation is foot-noted and cross-examined against once-secret Soviet launch records.
