Preston Dennet presents extremely thorough and detailed summaries of the multitude of UFO sightings, abductions and crashes reported in Arizona throughout this work. Those interested in unexplained phenomena, especially those with Arizona roots and connections, will find this book to be quite revealing. Preston does not scientifically analyze the reports, however those who are interested in or have witnessed the Phoenix Lights and other anomalies will be intrigued by these mysterious experiences. -Sara G.

I am breaking my long tradition of not reviewing books on Goodreads simply bc this one is so inaccurate. I love a good UFO tale, even the less dramatic ones, but it's obvious the author did no QA or fact-checking whatsoever. Place names are misspelled or incorrect ("Tortilla" mountains instead of "Tortolita"), cardinal directions are wrong, local AZ history is wrong. I might be more forgiving had the entire book not advertised itself as AZ specific, but it's hard to enjoy a good UFO report when the author is totally inaccurate about some relatively basic geography and history. Would have been vastly improved by consultation with a state map and, like, Wikipedia.

it was pretty interesting of all the accounts from many people in the Arizona area, witnessing these unexplained events ,,it seems hard to dispute if a lot of people witnessed the same incidents

I didn't need this book to sway me. I'm here for the aliens, humanoids, orbs, lights and UAPs. I believe they visit Earth to protect us from nuclear catastrophes, to send messages about protecting the planet, and for other reasons. Keep an open mind because they do exist.
