I like the book very much, as I do Shiel's perspetive on Bigfoot. She isn't afraid to go out there with her opinions, and personal experiences, with Bigfoot. Those beliefs are in the minority and on the fringe of the Bigfoot research community. I appreciate Shiel's honesty and bravery in ignoring what others may, or may not, think of her. She shares her research and her opinions openly, even though the "paranormal/UFO Bigfoot" camp is decidedly in the minority. Very interesting stuff for sure, and any true Fortean will appreciate this book. I think more UFO researcher types will appreciate this than the Bigfoot researchers, since the former tend to be more open, a bit, to high strangeness type events than the latter. ...more
Interesting for it's UFO research value and contribution. I'm always interested in what others (well, except for skeptoid-debunkers) have to say aboutInteresting for it's UFO research value and contribution. I'm always interested in what others (well, except for skeptoid-debunkers) have to say about UFOs. I don't share the literal Christian religious interpretation of Wilson, but I think there is a lot that is still ignored by many UFO researchers concerning a -- for lack of a better term -- religious context. I still have the hard cover edition around somsewhere. So if you're a UFO researcher I think it's worth a read, and even if you aren't, thought I don't personally subscribe to Wilson's beliefs. ...more
I liked this book very much, and was surprised, because I had a preconceived idea it was going to be boring. I don't know why I assumed that; probablyI liked this book very much, and was surprised, because I had a preconceived idea it was going to be boring. I don't know why I assumed that; probably because I'm not a military or aviation buff. But I literally read this book in one day; I couldn't put it down. There were familiar cases as well as ones I had never heard of. The latter was interesting of course, but the former was as well. Even though the familiar cases were not new ones to me, what Maloney brought to these cases was new. And throughout the book, Maloney weaves a compelling time line of events -- of facts -- that leaves no doubt in anyone's mind something unexplainable has been occurring for a long time. What that something is remains a mystery but it's either chillingly human caused (meaning sinister and nefarious) or alien. Or both....more

I was reminded of the stories I heard of UFOs and even a Bigfoot family living in the area, and one weird experience of my own. (That experience involved not a UFO or missing time, but a "missing road.")...more
Nick Redfern did it again: brought us something fresh with fresh perspectives. And, a bit dark but there it is. Some within the field of UFOlogy want Nick Redfern did it again: brought us something fresh with fresh perspectives. And, a bit dark but there it is. Some within the field of UFOlogy want to ignore the sinister, yet the sinister persists. It's a side to all this huge UFO mystery that can't be ignored. While I personally don't share the Christian, black/white view of things some of the players in this book believe in, there are elements -- and elementals -- that have clearly been very busy playing with our minds for a long time. And they're not all human. ...more

While not new ideas at all, they are still considered fringe by many inside the fringe itself. No, I'm not condoning Imbrogno's lies, I'm simply suggesting that things can be learned from reading this book. So, I'll plan on reading it eventually. ...more
