Crash From Outer Space by Candace Fleming

It happened on a hot summer night in New Mexico, just outside of Roswell, a strange storm and an even stranger thing falling from the sky. Just what had Brazell seen and what did he and his kids pick up from the desert. Was it a bunch of sticks and tape, or was it evidence of an alien crash? And what about others who reported to have seen bodies of aliens and then the military showing up to collect them? What is truth and what is fiction?
