I declare BS!

While its a fairly quick read and a moderately interesting topic, the mundane nature of this book really tired me out quickly. I've always been a fan of books about potential ghosts, goblins, and aliens. This is a watered down version of Whitley Streiber's Communion, and less entertaining.

That being said, I would recommend it for a quick fluff read. It's a summer guilty-pleasure, but nothing more.

This is the gentleman who was on CNN and Larry King Live a few years ago claiming show more to have video footage catching an alien peeping tom peering into a window in his house.

Purely as an aside, I do believe that other life (whether intelligent or not remains to be seen) exists in the universe; however, I think its somewhat conceited to think that we are important enough as a species to have garnered any interest. Everyone knows that the Martians are far more hip than we are. show less

I didn't like this book as much as the other two. I feel that this book goes over information that was already provided in the first book. Unlike Messages, there were too many dead ends and the author was unable to provide documents that he talked about but never produced like he did in the first book. I also felt that with all the unmarked cars, surveillance and counter-surveillance going on that he would be able to produce photos. For example, wouldn't it have been more powerful if he had show more taken photos of the unmarked Taurus? Instead he rushes from the house to confront the driver sans camera. One shot of a helicopter goes some way but not far enough. I personally believe that the government is up to many shenanigans but it would be more powerful if you can document as much as possible. The pictures of the children was powerful stuff and I particularly enjoyed the ideas put forth by Lazarus. Still, not as good as the other two books. show less

I'm not really sure how to rate or review this book. Personally, I do believe that intelligent life exists elsewhere (simply due to the sheer mathematical odds), but I'm not sold on the idea that that life is visiting our planet. But, having watched a lot of X Files episodes recently, I decided to give this book a try.

The book, for the most part, is an entertaining read no matter what your beliefs are about extraterrestrials. Sometimes the book gets a little boring with the minutiae, but show more seeing the supposed "proof" and reading about it is interesting. Although, being purported as the most documented case in history, there's little evidence here except some equations that mean nothing to me (science was never my strongest subject) and a few photographs that look a little, umm, hokey. The author states that he has taken many photographs "proving" his story, but he's only included a few of them in the book.

Still...interesting to read. It did make me think a little, and I was entertained while reading the book. show less

This is the first book on this topic I've picked up in a long time, and I'm glad I did! It's easy to follow and not written like a textbook, which is a problem I found in some other titles of this nature. Stan's experiences, whether you believe or not, and the writing style, make this a quick and interesting read!

I only hope that more books on this topic will come out and be as fun to read as this one.
