In July 1945, the Trinity Test tore open the New Mexico desert and ushered the world into the atomic age.

In the years that followed, White Sands Proving Ground became the launch site for captured German V-2 rockets. Holloman Air Force Base expanded. Los Alamos advanced nuclear research. Southern New Mexico became the epicenter of the most powerful and secretive military experimentation on Earth.

And then, something began appearing in the skies.

Between 1945 and 1957, trained military observers, scientists, engineers, and intelligence personnel documented a surge of unexplained aerial activity concentrated over the very facilities shaping America’s atomic and missile future.

Award-winning producer Larry L. Sheffield presents The Cosmic Trigger, assembling the full scope of what unfolded in the New Mexico desert during this critical twelve-year period.

This is not a retelling of folklore. It is an examination of documented events drawn from official records, eyewitness accounts, and historical research. The desert was the birthplace of the atomic age. It may also have been the birthplace of the first encounters from another world.
