I'm speechless

Totally loved this book or though the evidence presented in it is absolutely terrifying 😳

Careless factual errors make veracity doubtful

I've listened to this book twice now and while it's entertaining it contains numerous basic errors that reveal shoddy research.
Examples:
An oscillograph on a MiG 21? Does the author even know what an oscillograph is?
Referral to the Caspian Sea Monster as an Ekranopian (with an i) instead of Ekranoplan (with an L). Shows only cursory investigation was made.
The history of the Oxcart (SR71) project is interesting, but how much testimony from fairly low level staff (with an axe to grind) can be taken as truth?

Superb but terrible narration

I was fascinated by this book and it's superb content. It would have been a joy to listen to, although it seemed the aim of the narration was to give a sexy, almost pointless ASMR feel to proceedings. It felt like seemingly inconsequential words were extended and softened to the point where I nearly found this book unlistenable. It is probably personal preference, but I really couldn't wait to finish this book (which I sped up to 1.45x), even though the content was so enjoyable. It got to the point where the little clicks and nubs in the voice, along with the ASMR style extended softenings, became stressful to listen to.
Other than what I consider to be terrible narration, the content of the book is brilliant. I would recommend the text version though if you are at all susceptible to stress by voice torture!

fascinating listen - great narration

Brilliant listen. I couldn't put this down- well my ipod anyway! Interesting and informaive content without all the BS that you often hear about Area 51. The narrating is fantastic - easily listenable for long length of times without your concentration wandering. The' truth' about the Roswell crash is hard to believe but makes sense. But this is only a small part of the book. This really is an insight into the history of Area 51. If you're into conspiracy UFO stories then move on as this will disappoint you- this is about reality!

Brilliant listen

Love the down-to-earth approach of talking about the people involved in operations ran at Area 51. A very nuanced perspective at the context in which the projects were developed and how it influences today's world.

A legitimate Area 51 History

Fantastic book! I couldn't put it down that is until the end. I had to stop and start and listen to it over and over again just to be sure I got what the author is talking about.
