Even though each chapter deals with a certain UFO case/subject, such as the infamous Phoenix Lights for instance, the ones chosen are varied enough not to become repetitive and I'm very thankful that the most famous UFO case of all, the UFO crash at Roswell in 1947, isn't included in this book as even ten years removed from being submerged in this culture I'm still all "Roswelled out"! What is included are a few cases that could very well be hoaxes...'The Screaming Alien' whose sole witness was featured on SyFy's 'Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files' in the first series where he failed a voice stress analysis test and was presumed to be lying about his encounter and also 'The Gulf Breeze Mystery' which, even to a seasoned UFO reader such as myself, seems very far fetched. However, both these cases make fascinating reading and will no doubt give you chills and the evidence for these cases are presented "as is" with no definitive side chosen (fact or fiction) by the authors.
What we have then is a book about several different UFO cases written from the perspective of two obvious UFO believers but they do take into account any major counter arguments put forward by investigators who didn't reach the same conclusions as they did. It's a very eye opening read and I read all 290 pages in one sitting such was my fascination with the subject matter. The only negative aspect of the book is that the authors often speak of photos taken of the UFOs, evidence left behind, alien implants etc but no photos are included in the book. Had they included the photos, many of which are easily found online for the major cases investigated, I would have given this a slightly higher rating. As it is I still thoroughly enjoyed submerging myself back into the UFO realm for a few hours and I look forward to expanding into more deeper UFO reading in the near future. If you're already a reader of UFO literature then this book would serve more as a digest than anything substantial. For the rest of us, believers or not, it makes for some entertaining, and sometimes disturbing, reading. ( )
