I did not realize this book was from 1979 but it survives the test of time. This is a good history of UFO sightings, abductions, and possible alien agendas as of that time. I’ve read many of the books on these topics released since the mid-80s but this is a good detailed historical review up to that point with many new (old) cases I with which I was not familiar.

Pretty thorough overview of the subject. It covers a lot of ground. It relies heavily on the research and writings of other investigators (giving them all proper credit along the way) and not just Holzer's own insights.

The topic of UFO’s NEVER gets old for me. This is one of my favorite subjects and has not only intrigued me but countless others as well. While it may be true that many stories have been heard and told before, I still always, always find something new and inspiring to love about them. I don’t seek out new information as there’s always something to be learned from the info that’s already out there if you’re willing to listen.

For anyone who has ever looked up at the night sky in wonderment or looked through a telescope at the moon, stars, and planets then you know there has to be something out there besides just us. We’re small. Too many people who are completely unconnected have seen things and told about them despite being ridiculed. Just to name a few right off the top are Ken Arnold and Betty and Barney Hill among many others.

Then you have the Roswell Incident where there have been eye-witnesses come forward years later and speak of what they saw. One account in particular is very close to my heart. I grew up near where the Aurora Incident took place. I was fortunate to have someone close to me take me to see where it occurred almost every weekend when I was growing up. Perhaps that’s what sparked my lifetime interest in the subject of Ufology. Many people in the Aerospace Industry are just as intrigued by these stories as I am. Some are looking for new info while others are completely satisfied with what we already know. There’s Mufon (Mutual UFO Network), as well as other organizations AND people who work daily to keep us updated on new information.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this audiobook for anyone truly interested in UFO’s, aliens, telekinesis, and more.

Kevin Pierce did a terrific job narrating this audiobook. He spoke clearly and made the book a pleasant listen for me. He delivered straight talk on my favorite subject with no interruptions. That’s priceless.

Audiobook gifted in exchange for review.

Fair, not bad. Lots of what would appear to be "guess work" on aliens; stories, tales and little science.
