Has anyone been reading this book? What do you think of it?

Hi

I have recently finished reading this book. I found the insider accounts of Area 51, especially the history of the U-2 and A-12/SR-71 aircraft extremely interesting. I had previously read the material about Bob Lazar, and am unsure what to make of his account.

Naturally, I was fascinated by the EG&G engineer's account of Roswell, and the nature of the craft found there as he knew it.

Congratulations to Annie Jacobsen for providing this look at Area 51.

Hi Keithb

I am halfway through the book and also find it extremely interesting, especially the comments made by the author about the Roswell crash being a Russain craft rather than extra-terrestrial. Quite a kick in the teeth for hardcore Roswell enthusiasts.

When I purchased the book it was mainly for the UFO content but so far it has hardly been touched on, however it is truly an enjoyable read.

Hi oxcart22

I think you will enjoy the second half of the book. A while ago, after reading material on Area 51 I got interested in the question of whether or not USAF U-2 aircraft based in Australia had caused any UFO reports over my country. I did a bit of research and posted a blog article on my findings. The link to this is ufos-scientificresearch.blogspot.com/2010/10/cold-case-investigations-operation_31.html
